GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this.
-
EC: Now, we find somewhat of the same conditions in system as that as we had last here. These are, however, of a little different nature in the action of the congestion in the system. This, as we see, needs more of that deep manipulation to loosen those congested portions in system and to keep the intestinal tract open, that the eliminations and actions from the liver, pancreas and spleen, in eliminating from the system those drosses or poisons as are caused by the congestion being loosened in various portions of body.
-
Then use two to three treatments of the deep manipulation, see? osteopathically given. [L. C. McCoy, D.O.?] Also use this as an inhalant, [4/21/34 Same inhalant was again recommended, in 538-34, also 2/12/41 in 538-69; also in other readings, such as 195-39.] to loosen the congestion in the respiratory system and relieve the headaches, the dullness to the system. To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, add this:
Eucalyptol…15 minims, Creosote…3 minims, Tincture of Tolu…20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp…10 minims.
-
Keep the body warm, the feet dry. Take those saline solutions in any character to keep the intestinal tract open. Eat plenty of those foods that give the better resistance in system, see? as vegetables, green fruit, beef and such. Do this, and we will find we will soon relieve the conditions. Whenever coughing occurs, or choking, the inhalations for two to three, in deep inhalations, will remove this and prevent the coughing, see? Ready for questions.
-
That is all.
-
We are through for the present.
