1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, the recent cold and congestion have produced conditions in the lung and trachea area that are rather severe; not tubercular in nature but have made spots.
3. And unless there are the proper precautions, they may make for adherences to either the pleura or to some walls of the lung area breaking down themselves.
4. As we find, then:
5. We would use the cough syrup as given for the activity upon the system itself. [As in 243-29.]
6. The inhalant we would use in these proportions, and in this manner; and have so prepared as to have a vent into the solution as it is inhaled, see? but both openings to be kept corked when not in use, and very tightly:
7. To 4 ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol, in an eight ounce container, add in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus..................20 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin.......15 minims, Rectified Creosote..................5 minims, Oil of Turpentine...................5 minims.
8. Keep this where it may be used several times each day, especially when there is any irritation or soreness or feeling of irritation through activity or the like.
9. Also prepare at least a gallon or gallon and a half keg, charred inside. In this put at least half a gallon of Apple Brandy. This to be inhaled morning and evening. It is to be prepared so a vent makes for the abilities to draw off the gas when inhaled.
10. Do this, and keep those precautions as to keeping the feet dry; not getting hot and cooling off too quickly; keeping out of the night air.
11. Have the stimulations from body-building forces in the diet; such as the use of red wine in the evening about two ounces; beef juices, liver, fish often taken. Have these as

a part of the diet, you see; the wine and the beef juices as a food and not as a drink.
12. Doing these, we will find the better conditions for this body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
