1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [304]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, owing to some indiscretions in eating, and super-acidity, there has been brought about cold, congestion, with the attending temperature through the acidity - more than inflammation as yet in even weakened mucous membranes.
3. Hence we would alkalinize the body; and we would use in this particular case the Milk of Magnesia. Two tablespoonsful would not be too much. Follow this with the use of an enema, with soda and salt - the level teaspoonful of each in a bag of water, but dissolve this thoroughly before it is put in same. Use this only at temperature of the body.
4. Use Rock and Rye as a stimulant or Honey and Apple Brandy; the proportion would be about two tablespoonsful of Strained Honey - though it would be preferable to heat same - with an equal amount of water and this put in a pint of Apple Brandy. This as an expectorant and as a stimulant would be the more helpful.
5. Beware of too much of sweets. Keep the body and the feet warm, and we should find that these should disappear.
6. If inflammation arises in the mucous membranes or throat (as this apparently is the most inflamed, and the nasal passages), use a little spray, or inhale, or by snuffing a little saline solution - also grease with equal portions of Mutton Tallow, Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor, and apply the heat. These we find should make for corrections.
7. Ready for questions.
8. To be sure, stimulations with manipulations would be helpful - but the exercises as the body takes are helpful also in these directions.
9. If the stimulations osteopathically are given, set up drainages from the area from the upper cervical to at least the 9th dorsal.

10. (Q) What about diet? (A) As indicated, keep from sweets - but easily digested foods, and not too much of white bread at any time.
11. (Q) Should more than the one dose of Milk of Magnesia be taken? (A) This depends upon the manner of eliminations - as are set up. This as a dose may be taken for two to three days, or until there is a good reaction from same through the eliminations.
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
