Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Detroit, Mich. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes; we have had this body and those conditions about same here before.
2. Quite a difference do we find in the disturbing influences or forces from that we have previously indicated. While many of the conditions are greatly improved, there are many changes.
3. These conditions that exist should not have been allowed to develop. Had there been kept the drainages to the eliminating systems, through the osteopathic manipulations as were indicated through the upper dorsal and cervical areas, we would not have had this inflammation of the mucous membranes of the throat, nasal passages, the antrums, soft tissues, even into the bronchials and lungs, that exists in the present.
4. We find that even yet the drainages set up osteopathically in the manner indicated, so that we have a stimulation to the drainages to the lungs as well as the alimentary canal, would materially aid in alleviating this tendency for this SYMPATHETIC swelling that occurs, which produces this drainage from the lymph glands in these portions of the system.
5. The change in the climatic conditions as indicated would be well, provided such osteopathic manipulations may be had THERE also.
6. We would also use an antiseptic inhalant prepared, for THIS - body, in this way and manner, so that the fumes may be inhaled or breathed into the body:
7. To 4 ounces of PURE grain alcohol, in a 6 to 8 ounce glass-corked container, add (in the order named): Oil of Eucalyptus....................20 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin.........15 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.................3 minims, Rectified Creosote....................2 minims, Benzosol in solution,
795-3 Page 2
(or a solution made by dissolving Benzosol in alcohol).........10 minims, Tolu in solution, or Tincture of.....40 minims.
8. Keep this corked except when it is inhaled (after shaking well) both through the nostrils and deep into the lungs. This is not to be taken internally, you see; just the fumes INHALED. Best to hold one side of nostril to inhale; and don't inhale too strong at first, not too close to the mouth or nostril.
9. This will act to alleviate the swelling and inflammation.
10. Also the osteopathic manipulations should reduce those conditions that CAUSE the overflow.
11. Keep the diet alkalin.
12. Keep in the open, but away from pollens of any nature, especially flowers that are heavy-pollened, as any of the wild flowers or cosmos or the like. Roses are different.
13. Do this, as we find, and we may relieve these conditions so that they will not become constitutional; as is ordinarily indicated from this type of rose fever or the pollen fever.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is northern Michigan a good place for the body to be taken, as the doctor advises? (A) Northern Michigan or the seashore, as Virginia Beach.
16. (Q) Is this hay fever, or what is commonly called hay fever? (A) As just indicated, it is an inflammation of the mucuous membranes, produced by an overflow - which causes a swelling or rose fever; not roseola but rose fever; or the lachrymal ducts, the nasal passages, the throat become irritated by this swelling, SYMPATHETICALLY - which may be drained off, as indicated, by osteopathic corrections in the areas outlined.
17. Do as we have indicated for the best for this body.
18. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mrs. [601] (one for Osteopath) Copy to Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] with directions for Druggist in preparing the inhalant.)
