1. Dr. Ketchum: You have before you this morning, [948] of ..., Ohio.
2. EC: The conditions we have in this body originated entirely from the outside of the body and date back to about 46 moons ago. We have a lack of coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system, which manifests itself in several points in this body, particularly at the seventh and eighth dorsal, also in the lumbar region. In the dorsal region it affects the pulmonary system to some extent, but the main trouble is noticeable most in the lower part of the body.
3. We have a lack of lime and phosphates in the make-up of this body. There is also a lack of hydrocarbons [carbohydrates?] which has resulted in an imperfect nutrition to the muscular system of the limbs, which was preceded by this disturbance of the equilibrium to the nerves in the lower portion of the spine, as before referred to.
4. [Piece torn out of page] ...in this body has also affected this condition to some extent, and will continue so until the cause is removed and the proper building material provided, because the nerve stimulation to this limb has, in a sense, been paralyzed.
5. As a result of all the above conditions we have this peculiar effect manifesting itself particularly in the locomotor muscles of the limb, due entirely to a faulty stimulation to the parts supplied.
6. TREATMENT: First: Correct conditions existing which produce this lack of coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system in these parts by removing [osteopathically?] all lesions along the spine (the anterior lesions in particular, as they are motor).
7. Then correct diet by supplying proper nutrition, plenty of food rich in hydrocarbons [carbohydrates?]. Also, increase the lime and phosphates as much as possible.
8. Exercise this limb forward as far as possible every 10 hours, starting a little at a time and increase until

maximum is reached.
9. Get the impression to the mind that she will get perfect use of this limb by perseverance, but it will take 18 months to get permanent results, provided care is exercised and all details are carried out.
10. To remove these lesions along the spine we must resort to outside force with the hands, or manipulation along the spine [osteopathic?]. This, along with powerful suggestions to the mind, will be productive of results.
