1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with specific reference to the trouble with the stomach and head, with suggestions for the improvement of any or all of these conditions. You will answer any question I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body here - we have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find there are many changes in the physical forces of the body from that as we have had here before. While many of the disturbing conditions have to do with the same fundamental conditions as were exhibited in the physical functioning of the body in the first, still these conditions show considerable change - and not all for the better.
4. The position of the stomach proper shows still to be tilted in the way and manner as to prevent the emptying of same, also from the proper digestion taking place within the stomach proper, being too small and being tipped in the lower end makes a strain, as it were, both on the pyloric and cardiac ends of the stomach.
5. With the using of the belt or bandage to keep same nearer in place, this showed some improvement; yet there was not sufficient of the manipulations to produce that of the muscular tissue to HOLD same in place. This then produces, as we see, an over acid state in the pyloric end, and often an over acid state in the cardiac portion. With these acid conditions we find there is super pressure produced on hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, with the corresponding result of the severe headaches at the base of the brain, extending to the sides of temple, through the third ventricle as leads to first, second and third nerves of face.
6. The headaches, then, bring about the reaction of the blood to these portions of the system. The cardiac end then contracting gradually with those of properties taken to

reduce acidity, EMPTIES same in system. Hence the vitality of the body is reduced, by acidity being produced in the jejunum and the corresponding inability of the ascending colon to care for these conditions brings about the lack of activity through the lower portion of the whole mesenteric system, and the lack of blood supply to the lower portion of body. Hence the limbs - lower limbs - across the abdomen and kidneys - often bring some distress to the body from these reflex conditions.
7. To meet the needs of the condition at the PRESENT time:
8. We would use those of the bandage or the support to hold the stomach nearer in position, using the vibratory force of electrically driven vibrator for the whole of the cerebrospinal system. Especially would we give those vibrations at the ninth, tenth dorsal, and at the fourth and fifth dorsal, see? Wearing the Radium Appliance - Single X - will prove beneficial to the blood and nerve supply.
9. Keep those properties for the system of the non-acid forces as are seen in the agar and oil, or Petrolagar - the non-acid, or alkaline. These will keep down acidity in the system. producing better eliminations.
10. Let all of the food values be rather of the green vegetable nature, and of meats - only the juices or those of soups made from same. Never take any hog meat in the system of ANY character. As little of greases as may be used for the body. Oils a plenty - olive oil WELL for the body.
11. When the body suffers from those reactions to the head [Migraine?], use high enemas to relieve the condition in the intestinal system. Be consistent and persistent with these given, and we will bring the greater relief for the body.
12. Be sure and re-charge the appliance at least once each day for ten to fifteen minutes in strong light, or sunlight. Do that, [482].
13. (Q) How often should the vibrator be used? (A) EACH evening before retiring, or when there is the contraction of the muscular forces about the stomach, whether in pyloric or cardiac end - when this occurs the vibrator set in motion over the pit of stomach will RELIEVE the pressure more quickly, using the flat plate. That on the spine - use the ball and rubber.
14. (Q) Should the Petrolagar be taken regularly? (A) Should be taken at least one tablespoonful every MORNING. More often if necessary to have the full action from the intestinal system. Drink plenty of water. Occasionally use a lithia tablet in same - once a week or once every two weeks.
