Kahn home, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 3rd day of December, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1491], new Associate Member of the Ass''n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [1151], Active Member of the Association.

Time of Reading 11:15 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1491].
2. As we find, there are specific conditions that disturb the body, as well as some of a more general nature.
3. These as we find may in both instances be aided to produce or bring about the more normal reactions.
4. We find that these have to do, in the general, with disturbing conditions produced by the poor eliminations.
5. This is a part then of the more specific condition as produced by an injury in such a nature or manner as to cause the seepage, or thinned walls of the circulation, to produce a flooding, or plethora, or hemorrhage IN the body; as effected more specifically from the very nature of the accident or injury to the head and to the neck.
6. These then may also as we find, from the effects produced, be aided in bringing about a much nearer normal condition, and restoring in a greater part the visibility of the body as related to the condition in the eyes general.
7. Then, as we find, these would be the considerations or applications:
8. First we would give that there be made, but not in too severe a manner, the GENTLE adjustments and manipulations Osteopathically administered.
9. These should be combined, however, with the local application for the eyes themselves; or the manipulations Osteopathically should be about twice a week, for periods of four to five weeks, then they may be left off.
10. While the administrations of the electrotherapy of the nature as may be applied by the instruments and applications by one such as Erlanger, where there is the stimulation to the circulation by the application of the low electrical forces direct to the optic forces themselves, may disintegrate; and by the stimulations produce absorption of the inflammations as would be reduced, and by the EFFECT of the scar tissue produced by the coagulation upon the retinae
1491-1 Page 2
and the optic forces themselves.
11. We do not find that the optic nerve has in any manner made for a hardening or atrophying, or for such as to not be materially aided by the stimulation gently given, Osteopathically, and reinforced or aided by the use of the low electrical vibrations as would be applied directly to the eyeball or retinae itself.
12. This would dissolve and distribute so the system would eliminate, and thus we may increase the visibility to at least eighty percent, or gain an eighty percent visibility for the optic forces themselves.
13. Now the administrations of the electrical forces, as well as the manipulations and adjustments of the upper dorsal and through the cervical area, stimulating all through the vagus centers and those to the throat and to the activities of the head, and all portions of same, would - in the GENERAL conditions - make for a much better reaction to the body.
14. True, owing to the age (or the consciousness), these will be a little bit slow. Hence we would find, at least three times a week the electrical applications would be made, and twice a week the Osteopathic adjustments - gently given; these for five to six weeks, a rest period of some two to three weeks, and then a little less often perhaps of either of these, would bring the better conditions for this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Any specific directions as to the osteopathic treatments? (A) As given, those more particularly in the upper dorsal and through the cervical, following the vagus center's activity throughout to the face and head. These then would reduce the condition by creating better drainages, or the stimulation of the manipulations should be for drainage or absorption of the excess tissue involved - which is to be dissolved, absorbed and eliminated through the regular channels.
17. (Q) Any particular diet? (A) A regular or general diet is very good for this body.
18. (Q) When there is a rest period from the osteopathic treatments, should there be a rest period from the electrical treatments also? (A) These would be left off after one more week of these, then may be left off just as would be the osteopathic treatments - for two to three weeks, or according to the response of the body.
19. (Q) What was the cause of this hemorrhage? I was
1491-1 Page 3
performing no unusual exertion nor did I have any - (A) (Interrupting) This has been indicated. It was from a general weakening of the condition of the body, but brought about by the injury to the head and neck. Do these, as has been indicated for this body; and we will find the better conditions.
20. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mr. Harrison (one for Osteopath who is to Copy to Ass'n file handle cases such as Dr. Frank Dobbins, 551 Fifth Ave., N.Y.C.) (See note [which was attached] regarding electrical treatments by such an one as: Dr. Gustave Erlanger, 20 West 77th St., N.Y.C.)
