1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, with suggestions for the improvement and relief of same. You will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find there are many changes in the physical condition of this body since we had it here last. The condition as needs the attention at the present time is that as is affected by the destroyed metabolism of the intestinal tract, especially that with reference to the eliminations in the system, for, as we find, this condition exists: In the 1st and 2nd lumbar there has been produced, by a slip, or turn, or wrench, in the body, recently, that which has produced a form of lesion, which affects directly the mesenteric system. Hence, there began first those conditions which caused the digestion to appear as lost, or unable to digest that taken, or unable to eat sufficient for the system. This caused, then, with the pre-disposition of toxins to form in the system, an over activity in the jejunum to meet the needs of the condition as produced, and this has brought about this dilation to the lower portion of the ascending colon, and the pains, the distress, is felt throughout the trunk portion of body.
4. Then, to bring about the normal conditions, we would first, through the osteopathic manipulation, reduce, or correct, those conditions in the lower dorsal and lumbar region, causing the inflow of the normal condition for this portion of the body; taking into the system a mild tea made of Yellow Saffron - 2 ounces to 16 ounces of water, reduced by simmering (steeping) to 12 ounces. The dose would be half a glass at the time, taken 2 to 3 times each day. Each day also take teaspoonful to 2 teaspoonsful of pure olive oil, see? This will act as a lubricant and as food value for the inflammation as has been created through the whole

intestinal tract, and with those properties in the Saffron, be healing and effective to create the incentive for the correct formation of those tissues necessary for the healing in the mesenteric system, as must be produced through the lymphatic circulation, for when these corrections are made, we will find the normal conditions returning to the body.
5. The inflammation as is created in the intestinal and pain is caused by this inflammation produced by the exercising of those conditions as given, see? Do that.
6. (Q) How many osteopathic treatments should be necessary? (A) Depending upon how the system responds to same. There should be at least 6 to 8 taken. Immediately, then again to-morrow, then Monday, then Thursday, see? The condition of the appetite should be governed also. Mild stimulants - wine, or egg, milk and spirits fermenti will also be good for the body, to build up the system, see? Let the diet be consistent, but as that would be followed by the suggestions from one understanding their mode of treatment through the osteopathic forces, for, as these are applied, these should be in keeping with that being done or applied to the system.
7. We are through with this reading.
