Time of Reading Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. New York City.
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. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5147], present in this room.
3. As we find, most conditions physically are very good throughout this body. There are tendencies and inclinations, the correction of which may relieve the body from some anxieties which arise in the experience at times, as well as make for greater abilities in the mental and spiritual activities which may be part of the experience of the entity.
4. There are periods when there are those aggravating headaches, which arise apparently from something disagreeing with the digestion. These are only part of the sources or causes, for we find, when there are sudden changes in atmospheric pressures, there are periods when the body apparently tends to take cold easily, and the soft tissue in the face and throat gives trouble. These are partially the greater source of the disturbing areas.
5. For, with this sinus disorder, there is then a form of catarrhal reaction. This forms in the circulation that which tends to produce a greater amount of acidity throughout the system. This acidity causes those inclinations for cold and for the congestion in the liver and the kidneys. Naturally with these congestions, we have a variation in the circulation between lungs, heart, liver and kidneys. As we find, there is no organic disturbance in lungs, heart, liver or kidneys, and yet with these tendencies for the increase in the circulation, and for the attempt to eliminate the congestion produced by this

superacidity, all may show some reflex conditions and may, without relieving these disturbances, later cause distress.
6. In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions in the present:
7. First, we would have prepared an inhalant. Take at least a six to eight ounce container, preferably a large mouth bottle. Prepare this so there are two vents in the cork of the bottle, which may themselves be corked, so that neither of these vents extends into the solution. For only the fumes or gases, which are formed by the combination of that which will be placed in same, are to be inhaled into the nostril; and the effect is then through this gas from same to the antrum, throat and the soft tissue of the face and head. Put, then, into the container first, four ounces of pure grain alcohol. Then add, in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus.................30 minims, Rectified Oil of Turpentine.......10 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin......20 minims, Oil of Pine Needles................5 minims, Tolu in Solution..................15 minims.
8. These will be suspended in the alcohol. Shaking together and then removing both of the small corks, inhale deeply into the nostril. This will also go into the trachea and bronchi, and it will relieve those tensions, acting as not only an antiseptic, but as an allaying of the inflammation which tends to affect also the soft tissue, and those tendencies towards the conditions indicated. Do this two or three times each day.
9. For the disturbance which already exists by absorption from mucous and circulation, as parts of discharge or drippings through the throat to the stomach, have at least three to five to ten (would be well) hydrotherapy treatments. These may be put far apart in the latter portion of the treatments. These would be given, not with dry heat, to form the activities of the superficial circulation, but a fume bath with witchhazel in same. Not too much of this, only just sufficient so that perspiration begins in all pores of the body. Then have a shower, and then a massage with equal portions of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil.
10. Also take during these periods at least four or five short-wave treatments. These should be applied to the areas through the brachial centers. These will aid in breaking up the tendencies and aid in better eliminations so that

assimilations will be better, and the headaches and the disturbance in sinus will disappear. We will find, there will be more activity, quicker thinking and better actions for mental and spiritual reactions.
11. Do keep the spiritual and mental in the creative activities. All arise from the spiritual attitude. The mental is the builder.
12. Do that. We will find we will not only relieve the disturbance here, but create better activities through physical, mental and spiritual body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What should be done for the trouble in the sacro-ileac region? (A) The massages which are to be given with the oils will take care of the conditions across the lumbar and sacral-ileac areas.
15. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. H. J. Reilly) Copy to Ass'n file " for indexing (See illustration [which was enclosed] for bottle inhalant.)
