Time of Reading 5:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio.
1. GC: You will have before you the body of [4666], ..., Ohio. You will give conditions in the head, back, and left shoulder, since treatments as recommended by these forces twelve months ago, and you will answer the questions as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body [4666] here. The physical conditions in the body are not so good as those when we had same here before. The continued reaction of those conditions as have been causing disturbance in the head, the neck, the shoulder - through the soft tissue behind the ear, through that of the antrum and of the soft portions of nostrils, all are in rather serious conditions. Some little bettered, or easy, but the causes have not as yet been reached.
3. We would use these properties as an inhalant, prepared in this manner:
Oil of Eucalyptus....................1/2 ounce, Tincture Benzoin.....................1/4 ounce, Rectified Oil of Turp................1/4 ounce, Canadian Balsam.......................20 heavy minims, Rectified Creosote...................1/4 ounce, Tolu in Solution.......................2 ounces.
These may be all put together, if put in the order named. When used as an inhalant, in a granite container, pour a quart to half a gallon of boiling water - then place a teaspoonful of this solution in same and cover the head so that the body inhales deep into the lungs and through the nostrils, into the lungs these fumes as rise from same.
4. Make also a weak solution, or add half a teaspoonful Tincture of Iodine, half a teaspoonful aconite, half a teaspoonful Tincture laudanum, to two TABLESPOONSFUL of 85% (eighty-five percent) alcohol, and paint the antrums and back of the ear and along the left shoulder where the reaction comes from the stress on the muscular tissue in the

system attempting to adjust the conditions through eliminations, and give the body this as an ELIMINANT: This in each dose, and take at least three doses, taking the dose in the evening, every OTHER day, see?
Podophyllum..........................1/4 grain, Rhubarb..............................1/2 grain, Senna................................1/2 grain, Cascara Sagrada......................1/4 grain.
5. Preferably take this in capsule. We would also keep the body out of the weather, keeping the feet - especially - warm, and well were the lower limbs and lower portion of the back rubbed of evenings - not necessarily EVERY evening - but of evenings, with hot mustard water - and soak feet in same - would be well for the body.
6. Do that and we will find in ten to twelve days the body back near to normal.
7. After the activity of the eliminant through alimentary canal, well that the body exercise gently the UPPER portion of the body - arms and shoulders and waist. Do that. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What food would be best for the body? (A) Won't care for a great deal while this is being active, but preferably ALKALIN vegetables. Fruits and nuts are good, provided not too much of these - but more of the alkalin and of the salts, fruit salts producing.
9. (Q) Is there any way to strengthen left shoulder and back? (A) Remove the trouble causing the conditions; and the exercises will strengthen the body. Do as we have given and we will bring the nearer normal conditions for this body of [4666]. We are through for the present.
