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; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [404].

3. As we find, the nerve forces, especially in the limb, are still very sensitive. This is from the lack of elimination, and from strain through the body.

4. We find that applied heat, as in hydrotherapy, and rest, and the taking internally of Chloride of Gold and Soda, would be the more beneficial in the present.

5. This would necessitate the taking of an eliminant following same; that is, we would take the treatments in this ratio:

6. First, we would have a good cabinet sweat, and a gentle but thorough rubdown. Lie in hot water before the spray and rubdown, for some ten to twenty minutes. Apply heat to the hip and sacral area during the period of the rubdown; this preferably wet heat.

7. Then take that evening, stirred together in water, two drops of the Gold Solution (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water) and four drops of the Soda Solution (in the proportions of two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled Water).

8. The next morning following same, take a mineral salts, - such as Rochelle Salts, Sal Hepatica or Eno; any of these, so as to flush the system.

9. After two days repeat the whole procedure. Then in two days, if the condition continues, have another course; letting two days elapse between the cabinet sweat and rubdown, see?

10. In the diet, keep to those things for better elimination.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) I have had 4 osteopathic adjustments but as yet do

not feel any response from them. (A) Let's have these, then, now, after the cabinet sweats. This will relax the body so the adjustments may be better made. The osteopathic treatment may be the day between same. Continue these adjustments at least for two or three more, until there is the relaxing of the body. But the eliminations must be stirred up.

13. (Q) Please outline the diet specifically for one day, and the activities for one day. (A) This has been indicated. Keep towards the better eliminations.

14. (Q) Explain why the colon affects the sciatic nerve? (A) Because the nerves connect directly from one to the other!

15. (Q) Are there ulcers in the colon, or are the small intestines affected in any way? (A) There are packs in the colon and inflammation in the smaller intestine, or jejunum.

16. (Q) Would a colonic irrigation be well? (A) Be helpful to the body. But we must give better eliminations, as indicated. Do as outlined, for better conditions for this body.

17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
