Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ky. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1465].
2. As we find, there is little change (general) in the physical forces from that as we have had here before.
3. These conditions at times in the applications have appeared to make the body more restless. And this is opposite from what it should be.
4. As we find, there has NOT been the period of the type of correction that has been indicated for the body, from the osteopathic adjustments AND manipulations.
5. And as was given, unless the whole of that which has been indicated is to be used - so that the reactions would coordinate one with another - we do not find that it would be even the better for the body to only partially follow the suggestions indicated.
6. As given, there needs to be gradually - not severely, but gradually - that lesion broken up which exists in the coccyx portion of the spine, that makes for the breaking of the connections in the impulses of the nervous system through the lumbar area, as connects with the conditions in the lacteal ducts.
7. To stimulate only the UPPER portion - that is, the dorsal and cervical area - with the taxation - only increases the complaints as would be made by pressures in the head, irritations to the body in all of the nervous ways and manners.
8. Then, begin NOW, in the manner indicated, to gradually LIFT the coccyx end; making adjustments through the sacral and coccyx AND lumbars - coordinating the rest of the system little by little with same.
9. Have periods of these of two to three weeks, then leave off a week or two weeks, then begin again.
10. But continuously, each day, one hour, preferably as the body is ready to retire, use the Castor Oil Packs over the liver, the gall duct and the caecum area - or the whole of the right side, see. Not applied so that it burns or scalds

the body, but hot - and changed about once during the hour. Then sponge off the area, over which the Packs have been applied, with soda water - which is to keep the body from becoming irritated, and to take away the poisons that are naturally drawn by the Oil Packs.
11. Do these (the Packs) each day for at least sixty days, as has been indicated.
12. But let the osteopath take advantage of the relaxation created by the use of the Oil Packs, in making the adjustments; in making stimulation to the activity of the colon, the activity of the jejunum, the flow of the gall duct and the lacteals as they draw from the body.
13. Do these, and keeping the diet - as we find would be the better.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Would you suggest that the osteopathic treatments be given immediately after the Oil Packs? (A) This may be one period - The osteopathic treatments are only given about twice a week, while the Oil Packs would be each day. If this is convenient, WELL that it be given following the Packs - but there is created a specific condition by the application of the Oils upon the lymph flow and the circulatory forces, which is what should be taken advantage of by the applications osteopathically for the general system.
16. (Q) Have the Oil Packs that have been given been applied correctly? (A) Just as indicated, apply these in the manner outlined. Two to three thicknesses of flannel dipped in hot Castor Oil, just so that it may be wrung out WITHOUT too GREAT a strain on the body applying same. Have the Pack sufficiently large to cover the area from the lower portion of the RIB, or lung, TO the area across the lower caecum - or right side of the body. Change this about once during the hour. Then sponge off the body, or the area covered by the Packs, with the soda solution.
