1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same. You will give the specific condition of the lower right jaw, the gums and teeth, and the cause of the trouble on that side and what to do for same. You will answer any questions relative to this body that I will ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find the general physical conditions in the body improved from those when we had these here before. There are specific conditions in the teeth and in the nerve and muscular tissue of the face and neck, shoulders, that cause distress in the body. This is accentuated by the nerve strain under which the body labors at the present time, or has done in the past. The specific conditions, we find there are indications of the bacilli of pyorrhea in the lower back teeth, especially the second one from rear, one of molars. This we find produces the inflammation and irritation that affects the third and fourth nerve of the face, and this tooth would be better removed. This, however, could be saved, were the care and attention given same to destroy the nerve that is exposed and relieve the pressure as produced by pus being formed through the creating of the streptococci in the blood in the eliminating from this distressed condition. There is in the upper portion of the gums, near the front, some distress produced by the abrasion, or breaking of the process bone in which the tooth is embedded. This also produces distress. This may be relieved. This is one next to called eye tooth, in the front.
3. On the gum, near where the tooth was removed in the lower jaw, we find there the sore abrasion produced by inflammation from sympathetic condition in the teeth. These may be treated by the solution as prepared from this:
4. To 6 drams of Wild Prickly Ash Bark, [Simple formula for what later came to be known as Ipsab.] add 6 ounces of distilled water. Reduce to 1 ounce by simmering, and strain. Wash the barks before putting in for this reduction. Then, when strained and reduced, add common table salt until the solution takes up all that it will in

producing saturated solution, adding to this 2 minims Tincture Iodine, with 1 minim Essence of Peppermint. Use this solution by rubbing the gums with finger, not with cloth or brush, getting in the sore or abrasion places, treating locally the condition in the teeth where the air breaks in to exposed nerves. This we find will reduce the condition.
5. Taking for the nerve stimulant, this: To 2 ounces Tincture of Valerian Bromide Potassium..................30 grains, Iodide Potassium...................15 grains, Elixir Calisaya.....................4 ounces, and add sufficient simple syrup to (or Peptotol or Whiskey) make the full amount of 8 - 10 - 12 ounces, taking teaspoonful every two hours until the relief.
6. Do this, and we will bring the better conditions to the body.
7. The inflammation as has been produced heretofore in the intestinal tract, in the liver, these we find much improved. Be careful of too much meats, for the body under the nerve strain, else we will produce these conditions again in system, for we have had a form of the colitis in intestinal tract, produced by so much inflammation eliminated without the proper drosses eliminated in system, [760].
8. (Q) What should be the local treatment for these teeth? (A) As given. Destroying the nerve in tooth and packing same, or filling same.
9. (Q) Should any of the teeth be taken out? (A) As given. Not necessary that this one be taken out, if treated properly. May be taken out and relieved quicker. May be relieved by standing the pain and treating, as given. We have given this.
10. We are through for the present.
