1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [639]; this we have had before.
2. As we find there are many changes in the physical reactions of the body since last we had same here. Some are very good, some are not so well.
3. There are in the present those tendencies for the stress and strains that have existed and have been produced along the ganglia in the cerebrospinal system, with the tendency for the accumulations of poisons from toxic forces in the body itself to be distributed. Thus there is a continual reaction much in the manner that causes muscular contraction at times to the lower extremities, at others it's an upset stomach, again we will find it's headaches, again it will react in those forces to the nervous system as to prevent nominal rest, then there will be periods when the body reacts almost as if under a sedative or narcotic.
4. These are the characters of reactions by the very nature of those strains that have existed in the system.
5. In the attempts to set up the eliminations as produced by the incoordination from the strain between the upper and lower hepatic circulation, or that congestion in the gall duct area and the lack of the EMPTYING of the gall duct itself (more than the gall bladder), the duct itself then tends to make for an excess of acid, a bloating through the abdominal area at times, and a general nervous nauseating disturbance through the whole of the alimentary canal - lack of proper assimilations.
6. As we find, then, in the present, if there would be those stimulations as would first make for what might be said to be a DRAINING of the liver, gall duct, stirring of the pancreas, the spleen, the eliminations through the alimentary canal, then we may find that the applications as may be made in those natures as to stimulate eliminations and relaxations through the centers that have shown the strain by external injury in the cerebrospinal system, these

would be more effective then.
7. In this manner we would do in the present:
8. First we would begin with one Zilatone tablet taken of morning, another in the evening when ready for retirement.
9. The next day we would take TWO Zilatone tablets before the noon meal, and two tablets when ready for retiring in the evening.
10. Then in the morning before arising on the next day, we would take two tablespoonsful of Fleet's Phospho-Soda in a glass of water as hot as the body may drink. Then lie on the right side, preferably with a pillow or the like HOLDING up the right side as it were, that there may be a complete drainage.
11. When this has moved or thoroughly reacted; that is, let it require at least a whole day or a portion of the next, then begin with small doses - or comparatively small doses - of Fletcher's Castoria; a teaspoonful every hour. Remain relaxed or lying down during the period that at least eighteen hundred drops (or two small-sized bottles) are taken in this order.
12. During that period that all of these are taken, let the diet be rather of the semi-liquid nature; as citrus fruits, beef juice (but this prepared in the manner as has been indicated with no fat; not beef broth), vegetable juices and the soup or broth of fowl - as chicken or the like. This should be rather the diet through this two or three day period.
13. Then begin with oil rubs along the spine; neuropathically given would be preferable in this portion of the application - from the upper cervicals to the end of the spine, but be sure it extends along the sciatic center or nerves to the lower limbs also. The oils for such rubs would be combined in this manner:
14. To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add - in the order named: Olive Oil.......................1 ounce, Witchazel.......................1 ounce, Oil of Wintergreen..............1 ounce, Oil of Cedar Wood.............1/2 ounce, Oil of Pine Needles...........1/2 ounce.
15. These will tend to separate at times. Shake together and pour into an open container, massaging in only what the body will absorb. This should be massaged in a circular motion.
16. Then after the rubs have been given each day for a week, have the corrections made osteopathically along the
639-3 Page 3
cerebrospinal system.
17. And as we find when necessary use colonic irrigations. Otherwise let the activities of the system be directed more by the diet.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Any advice regarding condition of the feet? (A) As indicated, let these massages extend along the sciatic nerve to the feet. And as these massages are given we will have a STRENGTHENING to the feet and to the lower limbs, and the inclination to take away this slowed circulation through same. We would keep the Radio-Active Appliance at times, for these vibrations are beneficial to the body.
20. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
