1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, there are some improvements in the general physical forces of the body. While there is much yet to be desired, we find that these may be yet materially aided if we will have those applications that may aid in creating a better impulse between the impulses of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal activity.
4. This as we find is caused by the inclination for a drying of the impulse in the lymph circulation, as has been indicated for the body.
5. While there is still a great deal of this disturbance indicated through the lack of the peristaltic movements for eliminations, this having been a source OF disturbance gives in the present the greater distress to the body.
6. As we find, then, it would be well to keep the manipulative forces osteopathically administered with more stress upon the lumbar and lower dorsal area. Not that the upper dorsal and through the cervical are to be any LESS attended to, but the LOWER dorsal and through the lumbar and sacral should be stressed more.
7. Then the low electrical vibrations with the reviving influences and forces from the Gold, as well as the vibratory forces from the Atomidine - these all should be kept; and the massages that have been indicated, these are well.
8. As we find, it is not most advisable to give large quantities of a cathartic. These the system has depended upon in a great measure. And when necessary we find that a vegetable compound would be better for the body; such as the Simmons' Liver Extract or Regulator - which we find would be a very good eliminant for the body; but for this body it would be better taken in the dry form rather than the

liquid. The dosage and the frequency of taking same would depend upon whether it is taken with or without the Castor Oil Packs; and will have to be governed by the very nature of the disturbance, see?
9. Castor Oil taken internally, and such eliminants are only purgatives. Hence the Castor Oil absorbed from the Packs will be better than taking same internally.
10. These Packs should be over the whole of the abdomen, and would be in the manner of just wringing the flannels out of the oil; warm, not hot, see; warm so as not to be a great shock. Use about two or three times a week for a couple of hours at the time.
11. Also we find that the Tartaric Acid Packs, as well as the Castor Oil Packs, over the whole of the abdomen would be well. Make a saturated solution, you see, and wring out clothes - not flannel, but heavy crash toweling. Use these not more than fifteen or twenty minutes; then change same, using again for fifteen to twenty minutes. Two such periods when used, see? They should only be used when there is the indication of stubbornness in obtaining eliminations from the alimentary canal - if there are not the results from the Castor Oil Packs AND the Simmons' Liver Regulator.
12. But we find that taking these packs, AND the Regulator, should be most effective.
13. Take enemas when necessary.
14. And instead of the sinusoidal or the deep therapy (as the manner in which it was given makes for the reactions that are disagreeable), we would use OFTEN the plain electrical vibration from the Wet Cell Appliance WITHOUT solutions, see? or in addition to its use WITH the solutions. The attachments would be one copper, one nickel - about the same size plate. The copper plate would be attached first - the one to the copper lead or pole, see - to the 9th dorsal center, while the nickel plate - on the nickel lead or pole - would be attached last, to the lacteal duct area, or the GALL duct center, see? And such attachments would be made each day, when ready to retire, for twenty or thirty minutes.
15. Do these, and keep up the rest of that which has been indicated for the better conditions of the body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Should the Salts Packs be continued, and how often? (A) These over areas where there is any stiffness in the limb or the back, or in any portion of the body; but until or unless these are causing disturbance, not necessary.
18. (Q) Should I continue the Torris [Toris] root mixture? (A) Toris Compound, NOT Toris root mixture! This is well
1433-6 Page 3
to be taken occasionally, not regularly - that is, take it for a period it would require to take a whole quantity, you see, four times a day; and then rest from it for two or three weeks, and then take it again. It carries properties that are an aid in the elimination of poisons, that will assist in removing the distress upon the muscular forces of the body; and will enable the body to walk better and to eliminate the disturbance of the twitching and tingling sensation.
19. (Q) Are the two osteopathic treatments a week alright? (A) If they will be given as indicated, with reference to the lumbar as well as lower dorsal, as WELL as the continued activity of the upper dorsal and cervicals.
20. (Q) Is there anything else I can do to get more strength in my legs and arms? (A) If we will do these things and keep the eliminations, we should gain greater strength!
21. (Q) Are the eggnogs I take alright? (A) These are very good.
22. (Q) Is not the load of worry I am laboring under keeping me down? (A) This, of course, prevents much of the proper mental attitude being kept. But this is, of course, (the disturbance) PRIMARILY from the PHYSICAL conditions, see, - and if we will remove these, then we may meet mentally many of those conditions. See, they sort of coordinate or operate one with another. Do these, as indicated.
