1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1539]; this we have had before.
3. Now as we find, conditions are very much changed from that as we have had here before. Some of the acute conditions might have been avoided, or the whole of the disturbance avoided, if there had been the application wholly (or consistently) of those conditions which we suggested for the revitalization of the body, especially.
4. For, as we find in the present, the disturbances with the activities of the lower hepatic circulation - especially in the bladder, caused more from the disturbance in the prostate area - might have been eliminated.
5. In the present, as we find, these would be the better manners for eliminating these disturbances:
6. First, we would use the Elliott Machine, consistently; using the appliance for prostate disorders, with this raising of the temperature through the area by the heat applications in the prostate. This will require a little time, but will be much easier than operative forces, and MUCH less dangerous in this becoming a malignant condition. These applications as we find, with the others we will suggest, will reduce these disturbances, eliminating the inclination for sediment and for the hardening of the areas about the emptying of the bladder itself, and reducing the irritation through the penis. The frequency of these applications will depend upon who makes them. As we find, the body should be able to get these in New York, as there are several there who give such treatments. One especially fitted for applying such is a relative of the Elliott who made or presented such a machine.
7. Also at first the body will need at least two or three thorough relaxations osteopathically, especially in those

centers from which the activities of the lower kidney area receive their impulse from the cerebrospinal nerves and their relative plexus - or from both the lumbar and sacral plexus, and the ileum, as well as from the 9th dorsal even to the 7th.
8. After the third or fourth application of the Elliott Machine, we would begin to take a small quantity of Watermelon Seed Tea about twice a week. Pour a pint of boiling water over about a teaspoonful of crushed watermelon seed and let steep as tea. This would be the proportion. Drink about two ounces of this twice a week.
9. These as we find would be the better manners for handling this condition.
10. In the matter of the diet - keep away from any great quantity of fats. Use a great deal of those foods that will aid in the activities through the liver and hepatic circulation; leafy vegetables, with plenty of figs, dates, raisins and the like, and all of such natures - but little sweets.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What should be done about the pain below heart? (A) We would remove these pressures, and the tendency for the gas, and the nerve pressures to arise from the disturbance in the area indicated. This will also cause better circulation through the lower extremities - for the osteopathic stimulation to the sacral and lumbar and ileum plexus will reduce those conditions which cause the coldness and clamminess of feet, producing a better superficial circulation throughout. [See 1539-3, Par. R1.] Do that as indicated, then, and we will bring the better forces for this body of [1539].
13. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for Osteopath. We used to know a Dr. I. Daniel Shorell in N.Y. who used the Elliott Machine, but we haven't his address. Please let us have the name and address of one you locate using the Elliott Machine.) .)
