1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: We have the body here. We find there are abnormal conditions with the body that need correction. These, while not in that condition that may be called acute, neither are they abnormal conditions in that state that may be called chronic. Hence the need of the conditions being met at present, that neither of these conditions may arise.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Give the specific conditions of the throat and tonsils of this body. (A) These show that irritation arises at times, from specific causes - and some are of a subtle nature. There is lack of perfect coordination in the blood supply. Hence the inability of the system to eliminate from these portions of system and to rebuild or replenish as is necessary to PREVENT irritation. Irritation is caused by the system not eliminating properly. The circulation hindered by the condition in the blood that prevents perfect coordination. Nerve energy being deterred by subligations existent in the cervical and upper dorsal region. Irritation in throat, bronchials and thyroids, and the upper portion of body proper hindered in circulation and rebuilding by these conditions. Hence irritation. Not necessary for operation for tonsils, were these reduced and the proper stimulation through increased circulation brought about in proper way and manner.
5. (Q) Give specific condition of the nose of this body? (A) This shows this same effect in the tissue and the mucus producing portions of body, and especially in face and head, with irritation and lack of elimination, and lack of proper circulation. Inflammation through the nasal cavities shows, as does in throat. This produced through the same source as that in bronchials, throat and tonsils.
6. (Q) Does a diabetic condition exist in this body? (A) Not that of purely diabetic. That rather of a hindered

circulation, and an over stimulation to the digestive system - for when there is too much alcohol produced in the system, either by the addition of alcoholic stimulants or of the diet that produced the improper equilibrium of alcoholic condition, the pancreas and the liver suffer from same, producing - as is seen in the liver proper - NOT sorosis [cirrhosis], but a tendency towards cirrhosis, or improper elimination - engorged liver, yet not functioning perfectly. Hence the over stimulation to the hepatics, and especially to the kidneys in their functioning. With the correct diet, with the proper attention to the blood supply, and the proper adjustments throughout the cerebrospinal system, we will find better conditions along this line will prevail.
7. (Q) Does the body smoke too many cigarettes for the normal condition? (A) For the NORMAL condition, no. For the existent condition, yes. The condition as is produced by cigarettes is as too much required in the mucous producing portion of throat, bronchials and nasal cavity, to meet that stimulation created by the inhalation (or by smoking), causing the system to suffer in other portions, by the blood supply being carried there to meet the needs of the body. With the correction, we would find that the less smoking would be beneficial, though it would be WELL that SOME be consumed - for this is as a stimulation to the body in the condition as has been brought about by the use of same, see? not to excess, but moderation will be very well in this direction.
8. (Q) Does the body have any habits indulged in excessively? (A) Too much of those as is seen in the MANNER of eating, and in that of the imbibing of those conditions that produce too much reaction from alcoholic condition IN the system. Not as the excess of alcohol as consumed, but excess of alcohol as produced by the way and manner of eating, and by the indulging in those conditions that produce alcoholic reaction in the system itself. To meet the needs of these conditions, as we would find for this body, would be as this: Correct osteopathically those conditions existent in the cerebrospinal system, see? that as found in the cervical, upper dorsal, and the lower dorsal and lumbar, stimulating the excretory and eliminating system, see?

Using as an inhalant for the nasal and the throat, those properties as would be found in this: To four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol......................30 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp...........10 minims, Canadian Balsam.................10 minims, Rectified Creosote...............5 minims, Tincture of Tolu in solution....40 minims. Keep the solution in a glass corked container at least twice the size of the solution; that is, in eight to ten ounce glass container. Shake solution together. Inhale through nostril and through the mouth, see? at least three to five times each day, while manipulations are being given; that is, during those same periods. Take these osteopathic manipulations every other day, until at least thirteen (13) have been taken. After the adjustments, the inhalations may be reduced to twice each day. This will CLEANSE the system, prevent the irritation. For that existent in the mouth proper, gums, and the condition existent there from poor circulation, massage these well - at least every second day - with Ipsab, see? The DIET shall be those principally of vegetables, and especially of greens - turnip greens, mustard, spinach - all of those properties as carry much iron. Do not drink any soda fountain drinks - nothing of carbonated waters. Little tea, though coffee may be taken in moderation. MILK should be the principal drink - sweet milk - cream - when taken when it is WARM, if possible, from the body from which the milk is taken, or with the heat of the animal in same, see? Do this, and we will find we will bring the better conditions to this body, [4145].
9. (Q) What will prevent baldness on the head of this body? (A) Use massage once a month with crude oil, cleansing same with twenty percent (20%) solution of alcohol.
10. (Q) Any further suggestions for the improvement of this body?
4145-1 Page 4
(A) Follow these as have been given, and we will bring the better conditions for this body in the next sixty to ninety days, see? Body will be normal - for, as has been given, and we will bring the better conditions for this body in the next sixty to ninety days, see? Body will be normal - for as has been given, these are as preventatives for the system, see? and specifics for existent conditions. Corrections - as given - through the osteopathic manipulations. The inhalations - which act as a stimulant to the secretions as produced in throat, bronchials, and nasal cavities. At least half of the inhalations shall be taken through the nostrils, see? While it may be strong at first, yet these would be well to be kept up - though not to cause too much irritation; for these inhalations act as clarifiers, and as those that PREVENT the irritation from producing further irritation - or as an antiseptic, see? The increased circulation - the lack of stimulation to those that CAUSE irritation, through the drinks, through the meats, through these other conditions in system - will bring the natural rebuilding forces for the body.
11. We are through for the present.
