1. GC: You will give the physical and mental reading for this body at this time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, with suggestions for the improvement of any or all of these.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now, we find there is a vast deal of difference in the physical and the mental body since we had it here before. There are some abnormal conditions for the body at the present time. Especially is this shown in the lower portion of the right limb. In this we have the effect of poor eliminations, as is produced by conditions as have existed through the digestive tract, affecting the circulation and especially to the lower extremities, when we have had a lapse of the equalizing of the circulation through the body. This, as we see, has brought to the body those conditions wherein the poisons as should be carried through the correct channels, allow the body in the change in circulation, from the end of the Venus [Venous?] circulation and arterial circulation, where these connections are brought about, we have brought these disturbances to the capillaries, making then an exaggerated condition in the amount of lymphatic fluid necessary to produce the perfect coagulation. Hence infection and swelling as is produced from the knee down. Then this brings the distresses to the body through those channels. This has not, as we see, wholly incapacitated the body, either physically, and has accentuated the body in many ways mentally, bringing about, however, these exaggerated extravagant forces in a literal manner in the imagination of the body toward mental and physical conditions, as compared to many conditions that have been brought in various ways to the attention of the mental development in the body.
3. Then, to bring the normal conditions to the body, it will be necessary that the eliminations be carried in their proper channels by the deep manipulation in the trunk portion of body, and by the taking of properties in the system in the form of those lactics that will bring the

action to the digestive system and the eliminations through the alimentary canal in such forms as will give the proper eliminations through the system.
4. The diet should be that of the coarser and not of high seasoned foods. No white bread of any character, rather that of whole wheat or of corn meals and of the preparation as would be found in warm salts, or in ice as would be applied to the lower portions of the body in the forms of pack about the swelling. These we find will soon relieve that condition in the body.
5. In the mental, we find these will be through these channels as has been outlined for this body in its development through mental forces, [and] when kept in that channel [will] bring much of the physical and mental equilibrium in the system. The nearer the mental equilibrium is kept in that manner wherein there is not an excess of mental forces expended in any manner, that the subconscious forces may develop the fuller, may be accentuated the more when necessary.
6. Do this and we will find we will bring the better developments, the better eliminations, the better assimilations, the better mental forces, the better mental development for this body, [900].
7. Taking the manipulations at least once each day, taking the salines as would be given by such prescription as would be given in conjunction with the deep osteopathic manipulations, osteopathically given; applying the cold applications, or the hot salt applications, when the body rests from walking, or keeping off of feet, keeping the body, then, elevated at such times; that is, that portion of the body, changing these at least two or three times each evening.
8. Do that. We are through for the present.
