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: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions with this body. These have to do with specific conditions in the body, and with the effects of other specific conditions that bring distress to portions of the system that PREVENT much of the readjusting of the system to those conditions applied for the betterment of the body in other specifics.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4271] we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find there is the lack of proper coordination through the replenishing in cellular force, or as is called coagulation in used tissue, or in the system eliminating used tissue, and in this destruction, especially in blood cells, the organs of the elimination suffer.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this constantly kept at high tension throughout the cerebrospinal system by a condition existing in the plexus about the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal. This, as we see, also brings irritation at times to the sympathetic system - combined with the other conditions in the body, makes or produces, as it were, melancholia spells, wherein the body feels as if there is no use to make resistance, there is no use fighting against the physical conditions.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, in brain forces very good.
7. In the organs of the sensory system, these all suffer from this strain on nerve supply from the dorsal region, reflexly throughout the cervical region. This condition also brings the condition of the inability of the blood supply, under its strain, to supply, through the secondary system, the necessary incentive for nutriment rebuilding through the lungs. Hence, with the defective, deficient,
4271-1 Page 2
and the over filling up of certain of the conditions in the lungs, causes these to be depressed with the cough as is experienced by this sensation in the bronchials, from this lesion at the 4th and 5th dorsal.
8. In the digestive system, this continual condition in the respitory [respiratory] system, the effect that this produces on the heart's action, the pneumogastrics produce then that in the digestive system (not always - but occasionally) of inability of assimilation, for we have then produced an over amount of pepsin, as it were, in the body - that is, by the body itself. Hence the weakened condition in the new blood as is rebuilded in the system.
9. Liver torpid, as is also the spleen slow in its activity.
10. The lower portion of the digestive system better than would be ordinarily found in these conditions, for the capillary circulation has been kept good by exercise, by open air, and by the diet. This is greatly in the body's favor.
11. Now, to bring about the normal conditions for this body, first we would change from climatic conditions. Rather that as is found among the pines in North Carolina, than that in the seacoast region. Though sea air is good in respects, the effect without the correction in portions of the system is not good at present.
12. The condition in the dorsal and cervical should be corrected first, osteopathically. This would necessitate, then, at least twenty-six (26) such adjustments and treatments, to keep same in a normal place and position.
13. Take internally three to five doses of these properties. This would be placed in capsule. This as each dose. Eucalyptol Oil..................1 minim, Canadian Balsam...............1/2 minim, Oil of Turp...................1/2 minim, Heroin.......................1/80 grain.
14. These necessary to be taken soon after they are prepared. Only prepare one at the time - should be at least three days apart in each dose.
15. Then use as an inhalant two combinations. First we would prepare at least one gallon of pure apple brandy in two gallon charred container. This kept corked securely, with an opening through which the body may inhale, two to three times each day, the fumes and gasses as form from the evaporation of this. Not taken internally - inhaling through the lungs, see?
16. Then prepare THIS as an inhalant for the cough:
4271-1 Page 3
To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol.....................20 minims, Benzozol.......................20 minims, Rectified Turp.................10 minims, Benzoin........................15 minims, Tincture of Tolu in solution...30 minims. Keep this in a container at least twice the size of the quantity. Shake well. Inhale this through nostrils and through throat whenever the tendency is to cough, and of evenings, and DURING the night, this would be preferable.
17. Sleep in the open as much as possible.
18. Keep the feet dry.
19. Salt packs are always good for the body. When in pain from any adjustments, warm, but not overly heated - preferably damp heat, see? this applied to the body, but warm.
20. The diet should be principally of beef juices, eggs, olive oil, and those of fat building properties for the system.
21. Keep the intestinal tract open by keeping the system full of water, and by enemas, rather than by laxatives, for with the change in the condition in the dorsal region, we will find a change in the activity of the liver and spleen, provided the treatments are given correctly, with the adjustments.
22. Do that. We are through for the present.
