1. HLC: You will have before you the body of [1964], etc. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: [In undertone] - Yes - crook in the street here.
3. Yes, we have the body, [1964].
4. Now as we find, this body is very susceptible to changes; is of a very high nervous tension under certain disturbances or conditions.
5. Hence it may be said that the body is allergic to temperatures, as well as to dust and other conditions.
6. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [1964] we are speaking of:
7. The blood supply indicates an inflammatory condition which exists in the soft tissue of nasal passages and portions of the bronchi, and in the trachea.
8. Hence an accumulation of poisons is caused by lack of elimination, or lack of the coordination between the superficial and the deeper circulation - especially as related to the eliminations through alimentary canal AND the perspiratory system.
9. Thus there are periods when there is the stiffness in the back of the neck, through the shoulders, and extending to the lower lobes of the lungs or pulmonary system.
10. This is usually followed by the upsetting of the digestive tract, and some conditions that arise of a sympathetic nature with the lower hepatic circulation.
11. The conditions in the lower extremities, the feet and the lower limbs at times cause disturbances.
12. All of these, as we find, are from those conditions in the trachea, the bronchi, the larynx and the soft tissue of

the face.
13. While these have not as yet caused any considerable disturbance through the pulmonary system, we find that without a great deal of care they may develop - or produce a condition that would continue to make the lung supply susceptible to outside influences.
14. These as we find are the disturbing factors with this body.
15. Naturally, they upset the digestive system.
16. There is the lack of the proper coagulation or volatile activity in the humor of the blood supply itself, or the hormones in the various activities of the blood supply in its flow to carry proper actions of the leucocyte in aiding in elimination.
17. Hence the tendency for accumulations in lymph, and especially in emunctory portions of the lymph circulation.
18. In meeting these conditions, as we find:
19. First we would prepare a compound to be used as an inhalant. Prepare this in a container with a largemouth bottle, in which there may be two vents put through the cork - one through which the fumes would be inhaled and the other to allow the passage of air when inhaling the fumes from the other. Neither of these vents or their holders should extend into the solution. When ready to use, shake the solution well and inhale through the nostrils the fumes from same - deep; so that the fumes act as a purifier and as an antiseptic for the mucous membranes of the head and throat. Inhale also in the mouth or throat itself. Do this two or three times a day, and especially at night when there is the feeling of the fullness in throat or head. Prepare same in this way and manner, then:
20. In an 8 ounce container (of the type and style just described) put 4 ounces of 90% proof pure Alcohol. To this add, in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus...............20 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin....15 minims, Rectified Creosote...............5 minims, Oil of Turp.....................10 minims, Tolu in Solution................20 minims. Inhale the fumes from same in the manner just indicated.
21. Begin also with the use each evening of a massage across the brachial area with an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Then apply an electric pad over the area which has been massaged with this compound.

22. Also have at least fifteen osteopathic adjustments, with special reference being given to the adjustment needed in the 5th cervical, as well as in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd and 9th dorsal plexus, and the lumbar axis.
23. Keep away from too much sweets. Use rather the natural sweets as found in fruits, melons, berries or the like. A little honey may be taken, preferably with the honeycomb.
24. No fried foods at any time.
25. Especially mushrooms or such natures are well for the body, for the fungi growth in the soil would be beneficial, - if these are prepared with the meats of any nature that is desirable.
26. Do these and as we find we will eliminate the causes and prevent a great deal of trouble that is apparent to become manifested in the lungs and perspiratory and respiratory system.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) What was the original cause of this condition? (A) Breaking down of the blood supply and the lack of the plasm, weakening the areas as indicated where the mucous membranes come in contact with the various characters from the atmospheric pressures.
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (7/24/39 GD's note: See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for druggist, also for osteopath. At your convenience we would appreciate a history of your case to the time of obtaining the reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information. This is valuable for our files.) .)
