1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.

2. EC: Now, we find there are many exaggerated conditions in the physical forces of the body, produced by cold, congestion, and the bacilli as is produced in the system through this condition, or an excess of the number of the bacilli gives distress to the system through those weakened conditions of that portion of the system they (the bacilli) are most numerous in at the present time, and, with the condition of the system, brings an exaggerated condition to the functioning of the system, and the system, attempting to create that necessary to meet and combat with the condition, brings temperature and an excess of lymph in those portions of the system, namely the throat, bronchials, larynx, and the nasal cavities. The condition of the tonsil, being in that way of the exaggerated effect of this condition, becomes involved seriously in the condition produced. Hence the nasal, throat and bronchials give trouble. There is some temperature. This allayed somewhat by the increased number of the warriors in the system combating the condition.

3. To bring about, then, the better condition in the present, we would use this: While those as are being applied will assist, will eventually bring about a nearer normal condition, these, as we see, would aid materially and assist more in allaying the temperature and overcoming those conditions in the system, see? These may be used with or without those conditions being applied. We would use an inhalant to be taken through the nostril and through the mouth, or into the throat, bronchials and larynx, prepared in this way and manner:

4. To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

Eucalyptol.......................30 minims,

137-77 Page 2

Rectified Oil of Turp.............5 minims, Canadian Balsam...................5 minims, Tolu solution....................30 minims, Benzosol.........................10 minims.

5. Shake the solution well together each time before inhaling. Keep the bottle with glass stopper. May be inhaled every hour, or every few minutes until irritation is allayed, see?

6. Keep the intestinal tract open, even by using enemas, rather than purgatives, though the liver must be made to act in its excretory and secretive functioning.

7. The condition of the tonsil should be allayed, when the blood and body is in a stronger condition. Too much poisons in the system at present to bring any strain on the blood supply through attempting to create unnecessary, or an over amount of coagulation in these specific points. These had best be allayed or removed by the finger surgery, or by the osteopathic treatment of such conditions, but use the medicinal properties at the present time, see? Do that.

8. We are through for the present.
