1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [494].
3. As we find, there is not quite so much strength or resistance forces in the body, even as when last we had same here.
4. We would keep the correct manipulations; which are being VERY well given, though there SHOULD be somewhat more of a stimulation for the drainages through the alimentary canal, - or a greater stimuli to aid the stomach AND the duodenum in emptying themselves - through the very lack of activity.
5. While the activity should not be excessive, there should be sufficient exercise to aid in better peristaltic movement through the alimentary canal; and thus relieve those tendencies for the absorption of poisons as should be eliminated, that cause an irritation to the cuticle, that produces irritations to the body - through the attempting to eliminate in this manner.
6. Hence the occasional use of the colonic irrigations would be MOST benefical; also the local application of the compound called Prescription D.D.D., applied two or three times a day over those areas that cause such disturbance by the itching. For this condition we find that the liquid would be preferable to the cream.
7. It would be well for there to be kept a somewhat better balance in the salts of the vegetables and fruits, which should form the greater portion of the diet. Of course, if there is the desire for fish, fowl or lamb, these may be taken; but only the natural sweets should be taken, as honey - and the sweets FROM fruits; and vegetables that are PREFERABLY cooked in their OWN juices.
8. These adhered to will make for the better conditions with this body.
9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given? (A) As has been indicated, and has been kept now for some time. At times twice a week; at others they may be a little farther apart.
11. (Q) Has the abdominal and vaginal support anything to do with the rash on the body? (A) No; this is a very good vaginal and abdominal support. This should be kept eased at times, of course, when not in activity.
12. (Q) Should body do exercises? (A) As has been indicated, there should be sufficient of these to insure a better peristaltic movement.
13. (Q) Which ones would be best? (A) Walking is the best of all! or those that use much of the torso in movements.
14. (Q) Would fume baths help the body? (A) Just at the present these would be rather irritating than helpful.
