1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body that I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. We have those physical conditions as pertain to the body. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Please tell me how to get rid of this cough in chest. (A) This cough and condition, which becomes aggravating principally when the body lies down, or on first awakening and the body starts the normal activities of the body - produced then, as is seen, by those conditions in the centers as govern the flow of blood and of nerve energy to the thorax and bronchials. Then, have the condition in the lower cervical and upper dorsal adjusted through two or three osteopathic adjustments. Using an inhalant to rid the system of impurity accumulations in the nasal, the throat and the lung cavities, those drosses as accumulate by improper circulation. Hence improper elimination. Such inhalant would be found in this:
To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, in an 8 ounce glass container with glass stopper, add:
Eucalyptol....................15 minims, Rectified Creosote.............3 minims, Balsam of Fir..................4 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.........10 minims, Tincture Benzoin..............10 minims, Fluid Extract Tolu............40 minims.
[GD's note: Same inhalant was recommended in subsequent rdgs. for Mrs. [340], i.e. 340-7; also in 5604-1 & 348-10, etc.]
Shake solution together and inhale when necessary - by the irritation produced in throat and head. Inhale through nostril; also inhale into lung, allowing as little air except that from the container to enter as possible. Do that.

[10/27/30 See husband's rdg. 348-10 recommending above inhalant.]
4. (Q) What causes these indigestion attacks? (A) Through the conditions as have existed in the system, and as has been corrected to the greatest or greater extent, we find the assimilating and eliminating organs become involved and left the digestive organs susceptible to over vibration of any nature that produces too much of the reaction either in eliminating conditions or assimilating conditions. Hence certain foods - or ANY conditions over stimulating - produce a condition called indigestion, or the blood supply in the liver and digestion becomes over clogged in the system. Hence causes these contractions through duodenum, through the upper portion of the jejunum, and the system not able to create the conditions in the intestine fast enough cause pain and the lack of digestion [Intestinal colic?]. The system then thrown out of balance by these conditions.
Do not take in the system, then, especially any of those foods that produce an over acidity in the lower end of the stomach - such as pickles, or any food carrying over amount of acid or vinegar, or acetic acid, and never any canned goods having benzoate of soda. This includes relishes and things of that nature.
Use at least two bottles of Petrolagar - the ALKALINE kind, and taking a full tablespoonful of this preparation each evening will eliminate this condition, with the body receiving the adjustments in the upper dorsal and lower cervical, see?
No condition here as yet of gall stones, but the irritation is that of the acid condition of the foods entering the upper intestines, see? or not sufficient of the juices from the system thrown into the lower end of duodenum to produce full assimilating forces in the body. With those things given as has been outlined, these conditions will be overcome, see?
5. (Q) What causes the disturbance, pains, in lower right side, in ovary region? (A) Much of this produced by the unbalancing of the circulation and the disturbance in the digestive system. With the balance created in the eliminating system, the greater part of this will be overcome. The normal exercises of the body to keep the strengthening conditions in system will overcome these disturbances. These are reflex conditions, see?

6. (Q) How about my kidneys? (A) Over acidity in system puts the strain of circulation and elimination on kidneys. A balance in digestion and elimination, as would be created by correction [osteopathically] in dorsal and cervical region, and with the acidity relieved in system, the strain on kidneys will be removed. No disturbance other than an overtaxed acidity in the system, see? This prevents constipation, by the use of the Petrolagar, and takes up poisons in system that kidneys are trying to relieve the system of. See?
Do as has been given, and we will bring about still better normal conditions for the body. Do that.
7. We are through.
