1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading on this body at this time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, with suggestions for the improvement and cure for any or all of these. You will answer any questions relative to these that I may ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find there are many changes in the body since we have had it here before. The greater number of these have been, and are, for the betterment of the body. There are some abnormal conditions in the system that need correction as for physical conditions in the body.
3. Now, these are the conditions as we find them at this time, in the physical forces we are speaking of, [427]. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find a vast deal better than when we had this here before. At the present time we find the count good, near normal. The hemoglobin well distributed in its elementals. The heart's action with blood flow good. The cleansed forces of blood supply through lungs very good. Through the liver and kidneys not so good, for we find some disturbances in these portions, yet this does not affect the blood supply so much as the lymph supply, and as the emunctories in both these organs, as we shall see.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these we find much improved in many ways, yet there are in the physical structure of the cerebrospinal centers those conditions that assist the body in the unbalanced condition as appears through the kidneys in their functioning, and through the liver in its function. This, as we see, is produced from a condition existing in the 2nd lumbar and in the 12th and 11th dorsal. This affects then directly the conditions in the system, for it brings irritation through the mesenteric system, brings irritation through the ilium forces. Hence we have had the indications here as of those sediments left in the kidneys which cause distress through their functioning, for the sediments in passing through the bladder and urethra bring

distress to the body. In the reflexes from this we find the liver in the circulation, especially in the emunctory circulation or the eliminations as produced there, gives the nerve reflex from this. Hence the tendency towards the condition in the intestinal tract, as is shown especially in the colon at the present time, making or producing then the hardships to the eliminations in kidneys through the creation of a high hepatic circulation, a cold, slow action of the kidneys, by the lack of the proper amount of nutriment and of incentive as is necessary to produce the correct vibration through this region, by impingement produced in the 2nd lumbar, 11th, 12th dorsal. This region bringing the impaired conditions, bringing distresses to the body.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good. A well balanced force through the mental attributes of the body.
7. In the functioning of the lymph-producing forces, an excess, from conditions as existed in the system, as shown through nasal cavity, throat and larynx.
8. Lungs good.
9. Heart's action normal.
10. Digestion very good, though not at all times a well balanced diet for the developing forces in body.
11. Liver, under the influence of the reflexes as produced in system.
12. The upper intestinal tract, and through the jejunum in the small intestine, inflammation produced, as is shown in this portion of a high hepatic circulation. Kidneys show the effect of sedimentary conditions and improper functioning of the emunctories there.
13. Then, to bring the normal forces to this body, we would take into the system these properties:
14. Every second day take (in morning before meals) half teaspoonful plain Phosphate of Soda, with two minims Syrup of Sarasaparilia and one minim Oil of Juniper. Every fifth day add to this, or five doses as taken ten days apart, take one minim Sweet Spirits Nitre added with this.
15. Then, correct by manipulation, osteopathically given, those conditions in the lumbar and in the dorsal region, and with this give the general treatment for the eliminations throughout the whole torso of body. That is, stimulate the liver functioning, the intestinal functioning, the digestive functioning, the spleen in its functioning, from the centers along the dorsal and lower cervical and whole length of lumbar region.
16. Do this, and we will bring the normal conditions for
427-2 Page 3
this body.
17. Necessary that the medicinal properties be taken for three to five weeks, depending upon conditions as they arise.
18. Let the diet be not meats of the heavy or greasy nature. Much of the lentils, beans and food values of that nature. Much fruit, and little of vinegar or of those elements carrying acetic acid producing juices. That is, little tomatoes, no pickles unless it's sweet.
19. As to the mental forces, these as we find are well directed in the channel. Keep those in that manner wherein the ever indwelling of the spiritual forces are manifest in the physical, for with the awakened consciousness that the divine dwells in the body (physical) the body will be able to guard well both mental, physical and spiritual elements of the body.
20. Do that.
21. (Q) Are there any stones in the kidney or bladder? (A) Those sedimentary conditions as produce same show there has been these effects in the body. These properties as given are to reduce those conditions and to produce in the system that necessary to dissolve and to produce a stimulation in the functioning of the hepatic and of the kidney circulation, so as to relieve these conditions. This will produce some strain. This will produce some burning sensations, some irritation through the discharge of the urinary organs, but with the correction of the pressure in the dorsal and lumbar region this will disappear.
22. (Q) How many osteopathic treatments will it take to make these adjustments? (A) Eight to twelve.
23. We are through for the present.
