1. GC: You will give the present physical condition of this body, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be asked regarding same.
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [909]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, many changes have taken place in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. All of these have not been for the betterment of the body. But as we find, the acute conditions with the functioning of the organs have arisen from the general condition - rather than from that of an organic nature, as would appear in the present circumstance.
4. The attempts and the activity of the body in locomotion, in the attempts for activity, we find - owing to the unbalancing of the activity in locomotion - have brought about pressures to bear on the cerebrospinal nerve system; and especially upon centers or ganglia from which impulses are responsible for activity to the organs of the body - or areas that are directed by the impulse through their activity.
5. This has slowed up the activity in eliminations, and hence this - causing a pressure to the alimentary canal, especially in the areas of the colon; as a portion of the transverse and descending - has produced an engorgement.
6. Pressures there, owing to the engorgement, have made and do make for the gas as well as a physical reaction of the nature to produce pressures upon the POSITION of the organ of the heart itself.
7. Hence we have had not only an irregularity in its pulsation or in its activity but such a change as to cause an unbalancing in the flow to which the blood is carried in its flow FROM the heart itself. This has in a manner produced conditions that then cause a great deal of anxiety to other portions of the system.

8. Now as we find, the rest will aid; and should be a part of the applications.
9. But we would have sufficient of the manipulative measures osteopathically, as combined with those applications of the nature to empty the colon and remove the poisons from the system - and thus make for the ability for the adjustments in the segments in the upper dorsal as well as in the lumbar and especially the lumbar axis centers - as to relieve these disturbances.
10. These then we would do.
11. First, keep - of course - the quiet for the body; but have an osteopath to aid in not only the colonic irrigations but in the adjustments along the cerebrospinal system for the relieving of the areas that have become unbalanced.
12. Do that.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What causes the lump in lower right groin? (A) This is an effect of the very condition indicated of the unbalancing of impulse for eliminations as from the system itself. Hence as indicated, the lower lumbar and especially the lumbar axis - and with the removal of these pressures we should find the system's ability to separate and to alleviate the cause of the rising or the kernel or enlargement there.
15. (Q) How often should the osteopathic manipulations be given? (A) This will depend, of course, upon the response the body makes and the ability of the body to remove the pressures. Of course, in the first this will require about three treatments a week, but later they would gradually grow less and less.
16. (Q) How often the colonic irrigation? (A) This again, as indicated, should be under the supervision of the one making the manipulations; whether these would be once a week or once a month or once a day until the condition is alleviated, will depend upon the responses of the body. Do that, then.
