Time of Reading 4:40 to 4:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are changes in the general physical conditions since last we had same here. Most of these are not so well. There are those disturbances in the blood supply of an infectious force - which has caused and does cause, with those weaknesses and tendencies already in the body, the inclination for greater acidity in the blood supply, without there being greater acidity in the digestive forces.
4. This is a case of infection, then; and is not of the nature that is contagious, see?
5. Then, as we find:
6. We would alkalize the system with the use of Milk of Magnesia; a teaspoonful in about half a glass of water every other day.
7. As an ointment upon the abrasions, where there is the infection, use Carbolated Vaseline; for the carbolic acid in the Vaseline is purifying as well as healing - with the application of the other influences. Of an evening or night there may be used the Camphorice over same also - this even with the Carbolated Vaseline.
8. Give him internally these combined together: Epsom Salts, Sulphur, and Cream of Tartar, see? The proportions would be a level teaspoonful of each. This would be divided into about ten doses. This would be given one dose each day for ten days. Be mindful that there is not the activity of getting damp, wet feet, or in the cold a great deal when this is being taken.
9. Also be mindful that the diet is such as to consist of better body-building foods without too much of disturbances. Baked apple, ice cream, gelatin and such are preferable even

to SOME vegetables; though vegetables such as beans, butterbeans, squash, liver, chicken and such are very good; and as much of sea food of EVERY nature as the body will take.
10. Do these and we will make the better conditions.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) How would be the best way to combine the Salts, Sulphur and Cream of Tartar to get him to take it? (A) This will have to be put either in solution or dry and washed down.
13. (Q) What should be done about the condition in the ear? (A) Around the ear apply those same things as indicated for the other abrasions. The internal ear should have the cleansing by an ear specialist.
14. (Q) Who would be suggested? (A) Richardson would be very well.
15. (Q) What about the further osteopathic treatments for the adenoids? (A) These should be taken - if taken at all - after this present condition has cleared - and then this may be indicated from here.
16. (Q) Is the infection liable to infect others? (A) Only, as just indicated - it is not contagious - it is infectious; that is, if an open sore or abrasion is rubbed with the pus from the condition here, if will infect.
17. (Q) All of this treatment should be kept up until the sores are gone? (A) This should be kept up until the condition is cleared. DO NOT put solutions in the ear other than that which may be given by the physician.
18. (Q) Anything else to do for the cold? (A) If there is plenty of the Milk of Magnesia given, this SHOULD alkalize the system. Of course, it is laxative also, as well as an absorbent - as well an an alkalizer. Should the cold continue, give the Castoria - but keep the use of the Magnesia.
19. (Q) Is there anything to relieve the breathing at night, until the cold is removed? (A) Any kind of Vaporol or of such natures will be very good. Inhalant would be the more effective, if it is possible - or Eucalyptus with Benzosol, or Compound Tincture of Benzoin. This should be an inhalant and NOT put in as a solution, for it - of course - would burn.
20. (Q) It should not be used in croup cup?
1208-15 Page 3
(A) As given, it should be vaporized - as in croup cup or the like; whether in water cup or over a flame, or however you desire; but NOT putting the solution in the passage, see?
