1. EC: 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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, conditions are very specific; yet their causes and the effects are rather of a complex nature.
4. While the body suffers from the effects of asthmatic reaction, from the bronchi and the lungs, we find that the applications for the effective activity upon the system have produced many disturbing forces that at times become a great aggravation to the conditions.
5. As we find, there would be - under the existent circumstances - a great deal of betterment for the body in a drier and a much warmer climate.
6. But, to meet the needs of the conditions under the existent circumstances:
7. While we will have periods when there will be quite a reverting to old conditions, and some periods when a great deal of relaxation will be needed, we will find that if the sources of the conditions - or the causes - are carefully considered, and the applications followed which we will indicate, we will gradually get rid of a great deal of the trouble - even under the existent conditions.
8. First - know that the attitude of the mental self has much to do with the effects created; just as the self finds that overheating, overeating, overanxiety, anger, and conditions of any nature that work the body up to a state of exhaustion, produce a great deal of disturbance to the body; just as there has been builded into the mind of the body that there is the effect from, or as of the body being allergic to, so MANY things that are really helpful and necessary, if the corrections will be made properly!
9. These, then, as we find, are the basic causes of the
2102-1 Page 2
condition; and if there is the DESIRE for the POSITIVE positive position of same, have same X-Rayed!
10. There is in the 1st and 2nd and 3rd dorsal a subluxation INTERNALLY, or downward; and this has for a long period produced a pressure upon the trachea, and the tubes to the lungs themselves. This irritation causes the spasmodic reactions to the body-forces, and causes the quickening of the circulation in the attempt for the superficial activity of the nervous system to replace, or to give sufficient vent to the openings into the lungs for the oxidization or purifying of the air.
11. This must necessarily be relieved. It is of such long standing that it will require several series or periods of the adjustments; not merely those that may be had by the chiropractic aligning of portions of the cerebrospinal system, but rather those that may be had in the OSTEOPATHIC manner, with the use of relaxing of other portions that will aid in correcting the tension in the areas - as in the areas from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th lumbar, as well as the upper dorsals and through the cervicals.
12. We would take these as a regular thing; twice a week for four weeks - leave off four weeks; then take again twice a week for four weeks, and leave off four weeks. Continue in this manner for at least six to eight to ten such rounds of taking same.
13. During these periods we would inhale the fumes from Pure Apple Brandy. Not the Brandy itself, but the gas or the fumes from the evaporation of the Brandy - which would be prepared in a charred oak keg. Put half to three-fourths of a gallon of Pure Apple Brandy in a gallon or gallon and a half charred oak keg. Prepare this so that it can be kept corked. In one end make two openings, one a small opening for air only, the other with a tube from which there may be the inhaling of the fumes into the lungs. Keep this close to stove, radiator or heater, so as to form greater evaporation. Not that this is to be heated each time, but keep corked tightly, and each time it is inhaled take two or three or four deep inhalations. Do this about three, four to five times each day. This is to act as a purifier, and is to be used only if all the other suggestions are followed as we have indicated. Do not do one without the other.
14. Also we would take Calcidin, in this manner: Dissolve about three grains of Calcidin in two tablespoonsful of water. Let this be kept warm, and this quantity would be taken in two days. Small sips would be taken about three times each day.
15. The diets - a great deal has been given the body
2102-1 Page 3
respecting same; but rather WE would give that the body take what the appetite calls for. As there is the desire for foods of various kinds, supply same; keeping away from too much sweets or too heavy foods.
16. Keep the eliminations well.
17. And where there is the rash - or the indication of the lack of proper eliminations - bathe the body in a very weakened antiseptic solution. Or, to a pint of water put at least ten drops of a good strong antiseptic. This may be of any nature - preferably that of an alkalin-reacting nature; as Lavoris or Glyco-Thymoline.
18. Do that.
19. Be consistent, be persistent.
20. And keep the mind constructive in not only being good, but good for something.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath.
