Time of Reading 3:30 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New Jersey. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1118], this we have had before.
2. As we find, changes are indicated in the general conditions. While the specific disturbances are still those that make for the incapacity of breathing through nasal passage, owing to the inflammatory conditions, the conditions in some respects show an improvement; that is, in an opportunity for a change for the better - as we would find.
3. The osteopathic manipulations should be more specific in the upper dorsal, through the cervical and especially about the 3rd cervical to the ganglia that make for a plexus about the neck to the vagus center. This will, if given properly, tend to drain from the nasal passages through the eliminations of the system.
4. To gain relief in the present, or immediate, as we would find, we would combine in this way and manner, these: To 1/2 ounce of 85% GRAIN Alcohol, add: Distilled Water................1 ounce, Oil of Eucalyptus.............10 minims. Put together 2 minims Rectified Oil of Turp and 20 minims Compound Tincture of Benzoin and add these to the Alcohol and Eucalyptol.
5. Use as a spray, for the throat, for the nasal passages. This may be done every two hours. This should allay and not produce irritation.
6. Do that, as we find, for the present disturbance.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Can anything be done to keep her nose open, so she may breathe? (A) As we would find, this spray in the present, with the proper osteopathic manipulations should keep this open.
1118-3 Page 2
The reinfection arises from this overflow of impulse through the condition which has existed there, as localized. Now if these through osteopathic manipulations are cut off in the upper dorsal and specifically in the cervical and in those centers from the 3rd cervical, with the local application, it will be better. To change climatic conditions would be more effective; such as Arizona. This we find, and especially about Casa Grande or Tucson, or the like.
9. (Q) How may her nose be kept open while traveling and after reaching destination, if change is made? (A) As indicated, using the spray the more often.
10. (Q) Would you suggest having the same osteopath, or would you suggest another? (A) If these will be applied in the way and manner as has been indicated, to set up drainages FROM the head, any may apply same if they will - and the same.
11. (Q) How often should these be given? (A) Every day.
12. (Q) Have the former osteopathic treatments been correct? (A) At times. At others they were not so good.
13. (Q) Why did the preparation of the Icthyol-Ammonia solution seem to aggravate the nasal membranes to further enlargement? (A) This was owing to the non-activity of the Icthyol over the quantity of the Ammonia in same. The Icthyol alone with the Alcohol and it heated and diluted would be better than the use of it with the way and manner it has been prepared.
14. (Q) Is the Mono P Chlorophenol better? (A) Well, not in the present, as we find. This combination as indicated would be the most or more helpful.
15. (Q) Is there anything further we can do to relieve her suffering? (A) Necessitate to keep the body relaxed. When it necessitates the use of anything else, use hypnotics rather than narcotics.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [...] [Husband] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
