1. GC: You will give a full and complete reading, giving in detail the physical conditions of this body at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions relative to this body I will ask you.
2. EC: Now we find conditions somewhat different from those as we have had here before. While there are abnormal conditions, these are produced by specific conditions in the body at the present time. The cold and congestion, which produces the irritation in the throat and bronchials, produced by the laxness of muscular tissue in the larynx to support the portions. Hence the flow of blood in congestion to these portions keeps the irritation, and producing the cough.
3. The blood supply very good.
4. THE NERVE SYSTEM, many conditions in this, and the tension on many centers produce the over-sensitiveness to the involuntary muscular and nerve reaction.
5. In the physical structures, we find there are many centers needing correction. In the cervical, in the upper dorsal, and in the lower lumbar. Those in the cervical, especially, help in the irritation as produced by congestion at present.
6. Then to bring the proper relief to this body, we would first correct those cervicals and those centers where pressure is produced in nerve and blood supply to throat and larynx, and give those properties that would correct the eliminations in system, and correct the ligament and tissue in the manner that would relieve pressure and strain; inhaling, then, equal parts of Eucalyptol and Benzoin, with Balsam Tolu. This, we find, would relieve the mucus forming tissue in larynx and nostril, with the correction made. Only be temporary without the correction; giving those properties in the system that will bring the equilibrium in eliminations through the stomach, liver and kidneys; that is, small doses Castoria, followed with small doses Bromo-Quinine, or of the equal portions Cascara Sagrada,

Licorice Compound, and Saffron. Either of these we find would bring the equilibrium through the digestive system.
7. Keeping the body from drafts, keeping feet warm. Well that of evenings hot mustard foot baths be given, until cold and congestion is relieved from system, and corrections made. Do that.
8. (Q) Give the specific places where these corrections should be made? (A) Given. Cervical, dorsal and lumbar. Cervical, especially, 3rd and 4th. Dorsal, 2nd and 3rd. Lumbar, 4th. Osteopathic or chiropractic, osteopathic the better for this body.
9. (Q) How should this inhalation be prepared? (A) Heated. Inhale the fumes.
10. (Q) Should it be put in water? (A) Put in water, or put in any container that heat may be applied to.
