1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, we have had her before, you see.

2. Now we find the conditions in the body greatly changed since we had them before. There are many conditions as we have them before that have become exaggerated under the strain which the body has gone through. The nerve system is the greater distressed with the organs of elimination involved in same. The temperature as is produced in the system, coming from the deflection, has produced in the misinteris [mesenteric?] system the greater distress in the nerve system, from the reflexes as produced from their coming to the base of the brain.

3. Then the necessity for the adjusting of the system to prevent the nerve forces becoming too shattered as to destroy the coordination between the brain forces and the elimination of the body.

4. The best would be then through manipulation and adjustments of the conditions in the cerebrospinal system, through deep osteopathical manipulation all along the spinal system and base of the brain, to reduce the pressure in the system, but not have too much if any, internal medicines.

5. With the eliminations and assimilations as they are at present or now it would be well were the limbs and the trunk of the body massaged with equal parts of Hydrastrus with Wine for the stimulation of the capillary circulation. Let the diet be things that are easily digested, with these stimulants for the kidney and the liver in their excretion, such as in gin or champagne in small quantities.

6. To give the body these stimulants, these adjustments, we find will bring about better conditions for the body at the present time and bring the normal forces back to this body - [325].

7. The adjustments and massages should be given at least every day until is cleared, relieving the lesions the whole length of the dorsal and lumbar regions.

8. DO THAT, DO IT NOW. We are through for the present.
