Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Tennessee. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1508]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are acute conditions arising from congestion, cold, poisons in the system from throat, head, and the soft tissue and the effect to the activity of the circulation through lungs, heart and digestive system.
3. These as we find may become very serious unless there are drainages set up, and a reaction to reduce not only the temperature but to produce a reaction where the circulation may take on more of the resistances in the bodily forces themselves.
4. First, in making applications:
5. Massage the acute conditions in throat, and in the face, as well as the chest and the upper digestive system, with a combination of three parts Laudanum to one part Aconite.
6. Then apply over same the saturated solution of Epsom Salts, until these pains and the temperature are reduced.
7. Also use very hot bath for the feet, with mustard or pine oil - either or both of these may be put in the hot water. This should be to the knees or even higher. Afterwards RUB the soles of the feet and the lower limbs with an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. And massage especially the feet, keeping the feet very warm.
8. We would also have immediately a deep osteopathic manipulation as would set up drainages from the lungs.
9. Also within the twenty-four hours give an enema to relieve the strains through the alimentary canal.
10. In the evening, if there are some improvements, we would dissolve five grains of Calcidin in one ounce of warm water - keep this warm and give a sip of same every fifteen to twenty minutes, until there is a full iodine reaction in the system; to reduce those effects of a strept arising from infectious forces in the blood stream.

11. ONLY the diets that are liquid or semi-liquid; beef juices, citrus fruit juices and the like. These may be necessary to repeat on the morrow if there is the improvement shown.
12. Better phone this.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Any special osteopath in Nashville recommended for this case? (A) Young Shackleford! [James R. Shackleford, Jr., D.O.]
15. (Q) What special areas need the deep osteopathic manipulations? (A) As indicated, the drainages from the lung, throat and head. These then are the upper dorsal and through the cervical - and, to be sure, with the setting up of drainages, or the drawing away, or the setting up of blood flow, the lumbar area should be coordinated with same gently. These may be necessitated each day for two to three days, then the rest of these - of course - may be changed according to the conditions as arise.
16. (Q) Should the Epsom Salts Packs be given before the treatment osteopathically? (A) We should give these immediately! Then, when -
17. (Q) (Interrupting) Over the chest? (A) All of the areas where there is the congestion.
18. We are through for the present. Copy to Wife - Phoned also, to Mrs. [760] - Sent Special " " Ass'n file
