1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes. Now we find, while the physical forces of the body are very low in many respects - and the resistance in the physical functioning of many organs are very much depleted - yet, were those conditions as may be given for the relief of this body carried out in the systematic, consistent, and persistent manner, there may be much relief, and eventually a nearer normal condition brought to this body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in the physical organisms and in the functioning of same in this body.
4. THE BLOOD FORCES are very low, produced by the inability of the blood stream proper to combat with conditions, when it comes to producing coagulation in the system. Hence it will be necessary to so stimulate this reaction in same as to bring more vitality, more vitamins, more units of strength, more units of heat to the body, to meet the resistance in the system.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find this very lax in many places, and in many centers and different ganglions. The adjustments are, and have been, very beneficial to the body. These should be kept in this way and manner - for, with the existent condition as is seen through the eliminations, and through the assimilations of the body, as well as the centers wherein the blood supply to the various organs as govern these need this stimulation as is necessary through this to bring about the proper reaction to the body.
6. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, many of these are under that stress of being in a way and manner hindered by existent conditions as exist through same.
7. As is seen in the pulmonaries, in the lungs proper - in the throat and in the nasal cavities, or in all of those
4236-1 Page 2
centers wherein the supply of the mucus or the serum - or that portion that produces the blood supply that meets the ravages of the body, or is necessary to destroy those portions of system as used tissue - these all show the effects of the condition as existent.
8. In the digestive system, liver and kidneys, especially, does the effect of this need stimulation, so that these may not break down under the strain as is produced on the system by absorption, and by the system attempting to eliminate so much used matter in the system - for, were either of these organs in their cooperative energy of elimination to become choked or clogged, we may expect disintegration!
9. To meet the needs, then, in the conditions at the present time:
10. We would have just as much rest as possible - physical rest; and build the body tissue as fast, or as numerous, as is possible.
11. Using these with those manipulations as keep the stimulation in the body.
12. Well that inhalations be taken as often as coughing or any disturbance in the nasal cavities show - for, as we see, there is the sign of the germ from congestion and from the condition as was produced by the injection into the system of those things that brought about too many of that of the germ that produces tubercular conditions in portions of the body. These inhalations should be as of THIS, for the nasal and for the throat both: To four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol, we would add: Eucalyptol..........................40 minims, Benzol - OR Creosote Rectified Creosote (if that used)...........5 minims, If Benzol is used................20 minims, Benzoin.............................10 minims, Balsam of Fir........................5 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp...............15 minims, Tolu, Tincture of (in solution).....50 minims. Keep this in a glass container at least three (3) times the size of the quantity - that is, ten to twelve (10 to 12) ounce glass container, with a glass stopper also. Shake solution well together before it is inhaled. This, preferably, should be inhaled through the nostrils, see? or in the throat, whenever coughing occurs.
13. Inhale also - at least twice each day - the gas as will be produced in a charred container of pure apple brandy. A gallon and a half to a three gallon charred container. This
4236-1 Page 3
corked tight, yet an opening or vent made, so that the gas as formed by this evaporation may be inhaled. This being kept close to heat and corked except when it is inhaled through a tube into the lungs - deep, see? Beginning with only one or two (1 or 2) inhalations (then keep corked tight), but increasing as the body can stand this - for, as we see, this breathed into the lungs will bring, as it were, intoxication to the blood stream - which is necessary, if we should meet the needs of the conditions.
14. Take at least every third (3rd) day one (1) capsule containing this: Eucalyptol...........................1 minim, Oil of Turp..........................1 minim, Balsam of Fir........................1 minim, Heroin............................1/60 grain, see?
15. This will relieve pain, and will also relieve the temperature that forms at times in the system.
16. Keep, when necessary, over the impacts as form in lower portion of the system, warm flannels wrung out of pure Castor Oil, see? This may be over the abdomen and the lower portion of the body.
17. It would also be well if kept across the chest and across the throat those properties as would be found in a mixture of turpentine, camphor, and coal oil - equal parts, so as to wet a cloth - preferably of flannel, and this wrung as near dry as possible, warmed and placed over the body, see? across the chest and around the throat. Be careful of those conditions in the throat! Taking, also, occasionally, half a teaspoonful of Glyco-Thymoline in half a glass of water, see?
18. Watch the diet! Keep all the eggs and milk the body will assimilate. Do not overcrowd the system, but taking that that will assimilate, without producing nausea or clogging the system. Better that a small quantity be taken often, that it may be assimilated by the system. Eggs and milk - these may be put together, if possible for the body to take it in this way and manner, see? Fresh eggs. Keep the animal heat - or being eaten while the heat is still there; as also the heat from the animal in the milk. Both of these are well taken into the system, for these give their vibrations as will produce better assimilation in this condition, and are more digestible to the body and to the lining of the intestinal tract, as well as to the portions of the duodenum and stomach proper.
19. Also use in the diet as much beef juice as the body can assimilate - a little at the time may be taken, see? even
4236-1 Page 4
though a half a teaspoonful at the time - just so the body ASSIMILATES same. This would be prepared by taking at least a pound of the fresh meat, well prepared, and cut in cubes - place inside a glass jar, seal, place in water and allow to boil from an hour to an hour and a half. Strain off the juice from this, season as to be palatable to the taste, and take a small quantity at the time. Do not let this become old, but this will assimilate in the system. Keep also handy those properties as are found in Beef, Iron and Wine (Wyeth's). Take a small sip of this occasionally, as long as the body assimilates same, take same. Do not take same when it will NOT be ASSIMILATED!
20. Also small quantities occasionally of pure Olive Oil taken in the system. This will be as food for the whole intestinal system. Especially is this well with the body where manipulations are used. Rub the spine with equal parts of Tincture of Myrrh and pure Olive Oil, when the adjustments or manipulations are given - the olive oil heated and the myrrh poured in same while hot, see? Massage into each center along the cerebrospinal system, from the coccyx to the upper cervicals, see? Do this once each day, when the body is able to stand it. It will give strength, and keep the BODY WARM!
21. Do that. When these have been carried out - and use persistence, use consistency throughout - we will find better conditions for the body.
22. (Q) Should the manipulations be given osteopathically or chiropractically? (A) The massage is better than either in these conditions, but adjustments are necessary - in the lower portion of the body where adjustments are needed, but cannot all be made at once.
23. We are through for the present.
