Time of Reading 10:45 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Cincinnati, Ohio.
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, Miss [1567]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, in some respects the body is not so well; in others changes are for the better.
4. Those applications that were made for the corrections in the nervous and cerebrospinal system were not in accord with that which we indicated as being the source or cause of the headaches. This, as indicated, is a combination of nerve pressures with the bad assimilations and eliminations.
5. When there are the attempts to make the adjustments in the central dorsal area, and throughout the upper dorsal and the cervical, the body should be thoroughly relaxed - with Wet Heat. These should be made OSTEOPATHICALLY, NOT chiropractically; for merely the adjustment is NOT sufficient, but ALL of the segments should receive a relaxing treatment - not a stimulating treatment. So, relax the body thoroughly.
6. About twice a week such osteopathic adjustments would be made. These would not be made by a chiropractor or a masseur, but by an osteopath.
7. Also, in conjunction with the osteopathic treatments, - that is, during the same period of time that these are being taken:
8. We would have the general hydrotherapy treatments as given by a physiotherapist; including the Cabinet Sweat, with the massage by a masseuse over the limbs and the spine.
9. Also with same we would have the colonic irrigations, that we may remove the toxic forces that cause pressures in the system, causing muscular or neuritic reactions in the extremities.
10. The general hydrotherapy we would take regularly, but the colonic irrigations would only be given sufficiently

often to eliminate the conditions that cause this disturbance or pressure, which will be indicated by the mucous that is eliminated from the colon area. The first two colonics, then, would be within three weeks, or during the first three weeks period; and after that just sufficient to keep down the toxic forces from poor eliminations.
11. If these applications will be followed persistently and consistently, we will remove the causes and the disturbances; bringing the better conditions for this body, [1567].
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) How may I prevent gain in weight? (A) This may be done by keeping down the calories, and by the general work-out once a week with the masseuse and the hydrotherapy treatment. Also, for weight reduction, we would follow the grape juice way; that is: Half an hour before each meal and at bedtime, drink two ounces of Grape Juice (preferably Welch's) in one ounce of plain water (not carbonated water). Do this consistently four times each day, in this manner. Keep away from sugars, pastries and the like. These will keep better conditions in the assimilation and elimination also.
14. (Q) What is the true cause of the headaches which have been chronic for three years? (A) As we have given, pressures in the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system, as combined with poor eliminations from the alimentary canal. Do as we have given, and we will bring the better conditions for this body.
