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. You will give special attention to the condition in left ankle.
2. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions for this body and others than that as is shown in condition in ankle (left), and the condition or cause being the greater distress and conditions to be warned of.
3. Now the condition that may be corrected in this system, we see, has to do with a general condition, as well as specific conditions existent in the body.
4. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [49], we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE BODY, this we find below the normal in the rebuilding and distributing of cellular forces toward replenishing the general strength in the system. This produced in part by the specific condition in nerve system and by the lack, or poor eliminations as have been existent in the body from times back, when there were those specific conditions producing temperature and a disarranging, as it were, of the building forces as are supplied the system through the functioning of mesenteric system as relating to eliminations produced through the mesenteric and the hypogastric system, especially affecting the lacteal ducts and supply of blood force to body. Hence we have, as it were, a complication of conditions as exist in the system, being then specific organic condition, specific lesions, affecting nerve system, and the combination of mental attributes towards physical conditions of body.
6. In the elements then of blood, we find deficient in red blood forces. Not to the extent that the body has become wholly anemic, yet such conditions exist through this portion of the rebuilding forces, as are given in the mesenteric system and of lacteal ducts, and blood supply in liver and kidneys, and forces that produce eliminations to
49-1 Page 2
the system, has become one with these inclinations in system.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, the pressure as is produced in the system by the specific condition in the sacral and the lower lumbar, produced by the fall to this portion of the body, this, as we see, the lesion, produces that strain on the system that gives to the locomotories those of the strain in the circulation, causing the disturbance in the lower portion of limb. Hence the condition in ankle in the muscular tissue. Also the ankle itself has been strained by condition in times back. The condition in the lower lumbar and sacral being now the cause of the condition, accentuated by condition in circulation, elimination, and the general strain in system. While the body is not anemic or over nervous, save as a general debilitation, yet the whole condition borders on nerve break down, with anemitized condition affecting the whole general system. Hence the body needs rest, with body, mind, and with little to do but plenty of those surroundings well pleasing to the body.
8. In the effect, then, as we see from these conditions produced in the system, we have these conditions existing in the functioning of the organs.
9. Brain forces very good. This, we see, tending towards many conditions that show the development beyond the ordinary in many phases of same.
10. Sensory organism shows the strain under which the system often works against the best physical condition of the body. Hence glasses should be used more regularly, and changed more often, while the conditions exist as they do in the eyes.
11. Teeth need some local attention, for the condition as exists in the general physical forces produces that in the system that merely adds to the poisons to be eliminated, over-charging system and giving destructive forces in body.
12. Lung forces very good, though at times there is in the region of the sympathetic nerve actions of heart and lung that depression and pain that causes melancholia and a depression in heart's action, the desire to be alone and to understand more. These are a mental reaction in physical forces and rather that of a physical manifestation of the psychological forces manifested in a body.
13. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, rarely does the body take sufficient foods for the recapitulation of the forces in system to recuperate nominally used energies of the body. Hence the over-tired condition, especially with depression mentally that comes to the body at times.
14. The stomach proper smaller than should be. The spleen
49-1 Page 3
engorged, both through mental action and through physical condition as exists in system. The condition of digestion more of a nerve reaction from hypogastric and pneumogastric forces than from organic conditions there.
15. Liver, as seen, engorged, yet torpid in its action, showing how the excesses of poisons are left in system, as is shown by the capillary circulation, by the tendency as we have at all times, since the temperature was so high in body, especially towards constipation, with pains through the right portion of body, near the ascending colon, with transverse.
16. The condition in kidneys shows the over-frequency of the action of same, the excessive forces as are being urged on to the eliminations through these organs, all leave more of a uremic poison at times in body. Hence not sufficient water is often taken in system as to be the counterbalanced condition and bring the better forces for body.
17. In the pelvic organs, these we find show the inflammation as is produced by lesion in lower lumbar and in sacral. Hence the dull pain in back, along, above the edge of hips, in the left side, especially. This produces the bearing down pains, the distress in the body when the normal functioning of the pelvic organs takes place, the inability of the body to stand long on feet without feeling flushed from head to feet.
18. Then the condition to be met at the present time would be through these:
19. Rest as much as possible, off of feet, with as little to do and think of, save being entertained by someone else. Light reading, plenty of fruit, abundance of water, especially that which would carry lithia and the inclination to carry the over-activity to the secretions of intestinal tract, or of white or black sulphur water, carrying lithia. Also the adjustments by the manipulations, osteopathically given, of the conditions in spine and lower limbs, applying, whenever the pain is severe in the lumbar and sacral region, and in any portion of limb (for it changes), those properties of saturated solution of salt and apple vinegar, heated as hot as body can bear.
20. The diet free from meats as much as possible, save fish or sea foods, and keep vegetable forces more of the cereals than of the tuberous nature, drinking plenty of water. Plenty of outdoor exercise, lightly taken, see? but be outdoors as much as possible.
21. Do that. We will bring the best forces to this body.
22. These may be taken in this manner, should the body not desire to take the trip to Shenandoah Springs, Arkansas;
49-1 Page 4
French Lick Springs, Indiana, or Crazy Water, Elmer Springs, Texas: May be taken by at home taking lithia tablets in the double quantity of water; that is, one tablet to half a gallon of water, and double extract of Dawson water taken as drinking water, until system is cleansed, or cerulean water; that is, having cerulean water that carries sulphur.
23. We are through for the present.
