Detroit Time of Reading Osteopathic 10:35 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Hosp., Highland and Third Ave., Detroit, Mich. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [480]; this we have had before.
2. While the conditions-physical as we find are developing rather in a nominal, normal way; those conditions that have been indicated are arising, especially as to the activity of the mammary glands and the flow of milk.
3. As we find, to prevent hardening, this should be removed to some extent - with pump, or by nursing.
4. The manipulations as relative to same should be begun, but not those that would in any manner injure or cause any overexercising other than towards a gentle retardment and assisting the system to adjust itself.
5. Here we find the general conditions as related to the mental attitude of the body, and as to that which may be produced by those about the body, must be taken into consideration.
6. As we find, a gentle massage with an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor - gently, so these absorb - will aid in keeping down inflammation, and aid in those directions of causing the flow to be of such a nature as to gently make for that as would be nominal or normal under the existent conditions.
7. In those conditions as for the pelvis and the inflammation and the general condition as related to the bodily forces themselves, and especially the kidneys:
8. These, as has been indicated, must be watched, as to the inflammation that is natural from the general condition, and the repression and pressure produced. It would be well to have gentle manipulations in the area, osteopathically, to cause a little above the nominal or normal flow from same. This will aid in keeping down the general conditions.
9. These we find as for the present.

10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Nothing appears to be wrong with the kidneys now. Please advise just what to guard against, and how. (A) This has just been given. As they are overcharged, and owing to the general condition of the system as related to eliminations and the pressure produced during those periods of pregnancy, do not let these become overtaxed. Then, it has been indicated as to the manner to care for same and the caution to take.
12. (Q) The doctor wishes to know just what was the condition produced by the enema given the body during labor? (A) This - as has been indicated, from the angle of the mother, the father, the associations and the activities about same - should be left as is; that there be no feeling of resentment nor of an activity where a grudge or a blame is held. For these produce only those things that are of the nature as to cause disturbance that becomes such as to make for a hardening of the heart - and activities that are the outcome of resentments. From the physician's standpoint - as has been seen, take then those precautions before such an operation is begun; that there are not the dangers that have been seen or experienced of the foetus taking the effect of the narcotic rather than affecting the body owing to the general condition in the katabolism as well as the metabolism of the body. This then should have been given much later. But what is, IS - and there should NOT be resentments held.
13. (Q) Any other advice that will be helpful for the body at this time? (A) Keep about the body of [480] just as much of that as will cause optimism as possible. Do not dwell, then, upon the disappointments, the feelings that there might have been other things. Remember that as has been given, and know - if these are held and used as steppingstones, rather than things to be hated or resentments to be held, or blames here or there - this may become rather an experience that will make for spiritual growth in the experience of each one concerned.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [601] - Phoned also - Sent Special " " Ass'n file
