1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [482], this we have had before. Not so good are the conditions as we find existent in the present. Some of the old disturbances from the position of the stomach, and some of those where healings have in part been effected by the partial application of those things suggested, have become such as to AGGRAVATE - as it were - the whole system. Or those tendencies in the pelvic organs, back of the stomach, those portions through the assimilating organs (that is, the lacteal ducts, the liver, the digestive area of the duodenum), show some inflammation, some little swelling. This produces a pressure on the organs of the pelvis, and thus makes for a swelling in the lower limbs. While not to the extent or so much enlarged as to be greatly noticeable, it is enough to produce that numbness, a tingling sensation as of going to sleep, or of pin points at times in the limbs from the hips to the knees and then again below the knees to the feet there is the feeling of being asleep or deadened. These conditions, of course, are from pressures indicated in the area, and arise from the tendency from the position of the stomach and the inflammation there - as we have given.
2. In making applications in the present, we should have considerable amount of rest each day. Rather BUDGET the time. Stay off the feet so much. Rest, and when resting, rest with the body level, or a tendency for the lower portion (or from the hips to the heels) to be a little bit elevated.
3. And during such rest period we would appply the Wet Cell Battery AS WE HAVE INDICATED, by making the connections of same so that apparently they are short circuited. That is, one plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal plexus and one at the same time to the feet - using a damp cloth or letting the feet be in water, see? This will make a tendency for the circulation to be materially changed.

4. We would take internally small quantities or doses of Olive Oil, but often.
5. And about three or four to five times a day drink about a quarter glass full of Yellow Saffron tea.
6. Be mindful that the diet does not consist of any fried foods. No potatoes or white breads. Use rather those things that become STRENGTHENING to the body. Small quantities each day of a red wine with black bread would be strengthening, and make for an alteration in the digestive forces here that will be the more helpful.
7. Do those.
8. Occasionally, once a week or three times each month, we would have a thorough massage; with especial attention to the 9th dorsal area and the coccyx area, when such treatments are given. These should preferably be given osteopathically; though they may be given chiropractically IF the the NEUROPATHIC MOVEMENTS WITH the adjustments are used.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) If the severe pain in left side caused by or from the stomach? (A) From the condition back of the stomach, as indicated.
11. (Q) What causes the pain so much in lower part of the back? (A) Reflex from those conditions as indicated.
12. (Q) What makes me so nervous? (A) Pressure on the nervous system through the whole area. Shortness of breath at times. And this, of course, makes for fear, anxiety. Follow those suggestions indicated, and - as we find - the body will respond.
13. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (Letter was enclosed with directions to Osteopath. Please let us know the name of the one you choose for these treatments, so we may have it for future reference. GD)
