1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [543]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Would Phenobarbital, 1/2 grain dose twice daily, enhance the value of Dilantin now being given 3 times daily? (A) Dilantin as we find will gradually become necessary to the body, and the use of the other product gradually increased to the half grain twice daily would be beneficial with the Dilantin. Not so much as half a grain even, in the beginning. Start with a quarter grain, and this would be given twice daily for several weeks before increased to the half grain, see? Give the quarter grain dose for three to four weeks first, though. And it would be better if this were given periodically; that is, for two to three weeks, left off a few days, and then repeated again, see? though the Dilantin we would keep regularly.
5. (Q) What is cause and remedy of excess gas? (A) Lack of proper assimilation, or the equalization of the lacteals and the acids in the digestive system. As we find, a digestal after meals would be beneficial. For this particular condition, with other things, we find that the Willow Charcoal would be the preferable. This may be taken in the tablets or may be taken in measured doses.
6. (Q) Would the senna pod tea be beneficial at this time? (A) Senna pod tea or syrup of senna would be beneficial. The senna pod tea would be the more effective to be taken a long period, and about an ounce - not too strong, but this taken as a laxative and an addition to the activity of the gastric flow, will be helpful.
7. (Q) Please give diet best at present.
543-28 Page 2
(A) All of those foods that are body-building. Not too much of greases, of course, ever. No fried foods, then, but plenty of body-building and strengthening fluids and foods. Fruits and berries, nuts as well as vegetables; not too much of meats, and no hog meat other than the active forces of the digestive system that are building in their activity. Even pigs' feet would be well at times.
8. (Q) Will this formula given now be the best and most helpful? (A) If it is used in the manner as indicated, we find it would be well.
9. (Q) Is Dilantin helpful or destructive to this body? (A) If it was not helpful, we wouldn't suggest it's use! even though it had already been begun! It will be habit-forming.
10. (A) Would osteopathic treatments be any more needed at this time? (A) They would be beneficial. Of course, the body may do without them but they would be beneficial. The gentle treatments such as the NEUROPATHIC would be really more beneficial to the body than too much adjustments - that is, more like the Swedish massage, see?
11. (Q) Do the ovaries need any iodine treatments as were once advised? (A) As we find, the vaginal douches of Atomidine will be beneficial as a rectifier sympathetically, used about twice a month. These would be beneficial for the whole general condition of the organs of the pelvis, keeping down irritation, preventing the formations of activities from the lack of secretions or oversecretions even at times. These, to be sure, are not to be taken except before or after the Periods. The proportions would be about a teaspoonful to half a gallon of water used for the douche.
12. (Q) Please state condition of 2 upper left back teeth, and effect on body's health because of it. (A) Local attention should be given to these, as there are indications of leakages in each of these. And if local attention would be given, it would be beneficial to the general nerve condition as well as the general health of the body.
13. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) These we would do in the present.
