1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: We do not find the body here, but rather at the office - 9th St. and Virginia St., or 11th St. and Virginia St. - the office.
3. As we find, conditions have changed materially with this body since last we had same here.
4. There are still those effects when the body does not adhere to the diets that have been indicated for the body, that allow the production of superacidity in the system; aggravating the tubercle which has been a portion of the disturbing conditions with the body.
5. While these effects apparent in the present are partially from this superacidity in the system; there are also the nervous disturbances and the general conditions that are causing the disorder. For, it is the beginning of the periods of menopause for the body; thus the general nervous system is upset.
6. For the general condition, we would suggest that there be at least two or three series of mechanical - that is, osteopathic - adjustments administered. However, these in the first series - of at least six to eight to ten treatments - should be administered very gently, and not be of a stimulating nature but rather to act as a general relaxing for the bodily forces. After taking the first series of six to ten adjustments, rest from them for at least two weeks, then have a second series of ten treatments; leave off then for another four to six weeks, and then have the third series. These, with the other local applications which we will suggest, should bring about the better conditions for this body in general, as well as for the acute influences in the present.
7. The shooting pains in both lower sides are the attempts

of the nervous systems to adjust themselves through the activity of the ovarian forces of the body. Hence the needs for the osteopathic adjustments through the lumbar, sacral and especially in the 9th and 8th dorsal centers.
8. We would use again the inhalations of the Brandy Fumes in the keg, to purify the circulation through the lungs.
9. At least two or three times each week we would massage into the body an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirts of Camphor; over the lower portion of the right lung, the liver AND the abdomen. Then, after massaging what the body will absorb, soak a flannel in the liquid or compound and apply, with heat over same.
10. We would adhere rather rigidly to the diet. This is to be free from any hog meat at any time, save possibly a little crisp bacon of a morning, occasionally. No fried foods of any kind.
11. At least twice a week have an ounce of carrot juice (the juice extracted from raw carrots, by use of a Juicer); and plenty of fresh, well cooked vegetables.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is the soreness in the right side in any way connected with stomach and pelvic organs? (A) Reflex only. As indicated, these various effects are rather from the superacidity and the tendencies for the weaknesses to show activity in the system.
14. (Q) Is smoking injurious to me? (A) In moderation not injurious, but so long as there is the great irritation in the lungs, this should rather be very, very seldom, than often. Do as we have indicated, for the better conditions of this body.
15. We are through with this Reading. [3rd ques. ans. without being asked: What are these shooting pains in both lower sides? [See 715-9, Par. 7.]] Copy to Self " " Ass'n file le
