Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1229].
2. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions that may be materially aided in the physical forces of this body.
3. These have to do with the unbalancing in the system of those things assimilated - or the activity of the glandular force as related to the eliminating forces of the body; thus producing, as will be seen, disturbing conditions in the MANNER of functioning of organs and the effects that are indicated in the bodily forces themselves.
4. Then these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1229] we are speaking of:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there is shown the lack of the proper activity in the hepatic circulation, there being a disturbance both in the upper or the gall duct area and in the excesses that have been produced or brought on THROUGH these disturbances in the kidneys, the bladder, and those activities about the glands in the lower portion of the body itself. These show a distress also, rather in the present sympathetically. These are in the nature of swelling, irritation at times. These all come from a glandular force as produced in the circulation of the hepatics themselves.
6. IN THE NERVOUS FORCES OF THE BODY, pressures in the coccyx, lower dorsal and through the lumbar area HAVE caused those tendencies that have been contributory to the slowing up of the activity of the glands. Also these make for the irritation to the superficial circulation. Hence we find those irritations that come from the attempts of the circulation in the exterior or the respiratory or perspiratory system to eliminate much that should nominally be carried through alimentary canal as well as through the liver, through the kidneys and through the ducts that make for a respiratory elimination.
7. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, under these stresses and strains there are many other minor disturbances. As indicated in the sensory forces and through the organs of

same; to eyes, to ears. But these as we find will materially clear when proper corrections have been made in the more specific manner and these drosses that may be left may be left may be treated locally or have applications later - if it becomes necessary at all. Also the disturbances through the trachea, through the lung forces themselves; but these are more of a sympathetic than of an organic nature, and thus a sympathetic functioning disturbance.
8. The heart's activity, owing to those pressures produced in the colon and through the deeper circulatory forces of the hepatics, shows irregularities that are produced sympathetically - NOT organically. With these corrections this should also become a great deal better in it NOMINAL or towards its nominal reaction.
9. The digestive forces, naturally with a disturbance in the gall duct and lacteals, show a sympathetic reaction that makes for at times more of a specific disturbance. But these, too, with the proper applications should make for a great deal better reaction.
10. IN MEETING, THEN, THE CONDITIONS IN THE PRESENT (and these as we find we would carry for sixty days, but in periods - in this way and manner):
11. First we would have prepared a compound in this way and manner:
12. To 6 ounces of Garden Sage (dried) add 16 ounces of Distilled Water. Reduce by slow boiling until there are 8 fluid ounces. Strain and while warm, add - in the ORDER and in the manner indicated: Gin................................4 ounces, Ambergris (those activities as come from the digestive forces in the whale)...dissolved in 1 oz. Alcohol before adding.................15 grains, Syrup made from refined sugar such as saccharin or honey (2 oz. dissolved by heating in 1 oz. of water before adding to solution)............3 ounces, Cinnamon...........................1 dram, Ambrosia Weed (fluid or extract)...1 ounce. Shake the solution before the dosage is taken, which would be a teaspoonful just before each meal.
13. We would begin also with a correction osteopathically of the conditions existent in the coccyx, the 4th lumbar, the 11th and 12th dorsal; coordinating the rest of these with the brachial axis, the vagus center and the upper cervical forces of the body. These taken ONCE a week would be preferable.

14. For the insomnia, for the disturbances as produced by the activities from loss of rest, use each evening the Radio-Active Appliance. Apply this for one hour each afternoon or evening.
15. In thirty to sixty days we would give further instructions.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) What diet? (A) Beware of too much starches, especially white bread, potatoes, too much pastries, too much red meats. Let the meats rather be fish, fowl, lamb. None of the Irish potatoes, though sweet potatoes may be taken - but these all in moderation; and we will find the better reactions for the body.
18. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to Druggist. See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to Osteopath. See explanatory sheet [which was enclosed] regarding the Radio-Active Appliance and where obtained.)
