In the church at Time of Reading 178 So. Stone Ave., 10:55 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern War Time. Tucson, Arizona.
1. GC: 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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: (Not alone, but accompanied by many besides those visible to the physical eye.)
3. We have the body here.
4. As we find, those disturbances in the bronchials are of a reflex nature. Yet they have been so persistent, and so many applications have been given that would allay or aid the spasmodic reactions (so called) in the trachea and the bronchi, that we have open cells in portions of the lungs.
5. These, then are things to be met - something in self as well as in this particular physical being or body.
6. We would use, for this particular body, an inhalant that would be prepared as an aid to the walls of the lungs, the bronchi and trachea. Add these ingredients in the order named: Pure Grain Alcohol (at least 90% proof)...........4 ounces, Oil of Eucalyptol................20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.............5 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin.....15 minims, Tolu in Solution.................20 minims, Rectified Creosote................2 minims.
7. The fumes from these ingredients are to be inhaled, not swallowed into the stomach but merely the fumes inhaled. Have the solution prepared in a bottle at least twice the size of the quantity of solution; so that two vents may go into the cork, neither of these extending into the solution but into the space above the solution. Keep these corked so that evaporation does not take place and reduce its strength too soon. Shake the solution when the fumes are to be

inhaled, which should be three, four, five times a day, just one or two whiffs at the time. After shaking, remove both small corks, and through one of the vents inhale into the mouth, also through the nostril. Using this several times during the day, it will not stop the coughing or the reactions but it will allay.
8. Also we would have corrections made osteopathically; not merely corrections as of moving segments but including a massage so as to cause the activities of the sympathetic and the emunctory centers to coordinate, and not leave this spasmodic reaction of nerve energies to the areas. These will be from the 6th dorsal to the base of the brain. Ordinarily, the application is from the 1st cervical down. Here, begin at the 6th dorsal and - on either side of the spine - work up. And you won't do it all in just two or three minutes. There should be given time for the corrections, as pressures are made in the various segments on either side, and include those areas at those segments especially of the 4th, 2nd and 1st dorsal, 3rd cervical, 2nd cervical and 5th cervical, and just about in the order given should there be the reaction to these to the nerve supply - that, of course, carries the reaction to the bronchial tubes of the trachea and the upper portion of the lungs. With any change of atmospheric pressures these change - with even a little cold as from a draft, dampness of feet or some such, and bring on these paroxysms of asthmatic reactions. Hence do have these corrections.
9. In the matter of the diet - do include leafy vegetables such as red cabbage, spinach, all forms of leafy greens - as mustard, lamb's tongue, as dock, as poke - as this is very tender, but be careful how it is prepared. Put the tender poke leaves in plain water and allow to come almost to a boil, pour off the water or drain and then the leaves can be mixed with any other greens. The activity of these would be purifying, in such a way that will be found in few other such greens or vegetables.
10. Beware of rutabaga, but parsnips are very good. Fish, - preferably, for this body, NOT salt water fish but fresh fish.
11. Do occasionally take Atomidine internally. This means, - say, every Tuesday take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal. That same day when this is taken, it will appear that the conditions are worse - because of the extra reaction through the thyroids. But with the inhalant and with the osteopathic corrections we may bring better conditions for this body.
12. For the next six to eight months, do keep in the present

climate. When these conditions have been allayed until there is not more than one return of these paroxysms, the body may venture out - but where there are pines and sand and sea should be the better environment for the body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Is there an organic condition exists that creates this asthmatic condition? (A) Naturally such paroxysms cause a strain on the heart, as well as causing - from those things given - poor eliminations and slow activity of the liver and the kidneys. But these are not organically affected; though they are sympathetically or reflexly involved. With the type of applications carried forward as suggested here, these should gradually adjust themselves. Do keep good eliminations, even a little excessive. The vegetables or the character of vegetables indicated should aid in this.
15. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Husband - (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Good all for indexing (See drawing [which was enclosed] to illustrate type of bottle to be used for inhalant. Atomidine is distributed by The Atomidine Company, Attention: Mr. Harold S. Bisey, 1326 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn, New York.) )
