1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Miss [1655].
2. Now as we find, the disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body are from definite disturbances; and their reactions are the effects.
3. Thus we have a complication, for the disturbing forces within this body are produced by the deflection of energies owing to adhesions as well as subluxations that exist in the cerebrospinal system, from lesions having formed from the disturbance through the periods when the temperature was high.
4. These then are the conditions as we find with this body, Miss [1655].
5. First, as we find:
6. Some time back there were those conditions produced by an intestinal flu; and the condition produced in the ascending colon, and in the areas of the caecum as well as those farther up - or as related to the emptying of the duodenum; and also from inflammatory conditions - the right ovary.
7. All of these have produced and do produce the conditions where a neuritic, rheumatic effect has existed; and the effects of the poison, and the pressures upon the tissue through the area and the activity of same upon the organs of assimilation, are the seat and the cause of the disturbance.
8. The lesions as formed from same, as we find, are in the 8th and 9th dorsal; as well as reflexes from the 4th and 5th dorsal areas. These also affect sympathetically those in the lumbar axis. For as the body has given way in the structural activity to these, there tends to be an unbalancing in the pelvic bone. Thus we have a disturbance in the lumbar axis.
9. All of these are the disturbances through the activities for this body. While, through care and attention, these do not produce so much disturbance, we find that at times - with the lack of proper eliminations, and overactivity
1655-1 Page 2
mentally OR physically - the body tends to tire easily. Also a reaction is caused from the lack of the full eliminations; as does cold or congestion of any nature; upsetting the digestive system as well as the activities of the organs of the pelvis during Periods; and the general tired and headachey feeling, with an aching all over when there are disturbances.
10. These as we find, then, may be entirely eliminated - if there is sufficient time and precaution taken for the body to bring about the near to normal forces in the activities of those disturbances; producing those activities which will eliminate the cause and thus allow the body to become normalized through proper eliminations, proper assimilations and building up of general resistance in the body.
11. First, then, as we would find:
12. We would have at least eight to ten deep osteopathic manipulations and adjustments for the areas indicated; the dorsal, lumbar AND the areas through the cervical and the rest of the dorsal, making for coordinating with the general activities.
13. In taking the manipulations osteopathically, have a GENERAL treatment once a week and a specific treatment once a week; that is, make the corrections in the 4th and 5th and 6th dorsal, 9th dorsal, 4th lumbar once a week, with a general coordination; and then have a GENERAL treatment throughout the whole of the cerebrospinal system another time during the same week. Hence two treatments a week should be given, and fourteen or fifteen such treatments - half general and half specific - should be sufficient.
14. Also we would begin with the use of Codiron as a tonic. Take two tablets each day, one at noon, one at evening - until at least fifty have been taken.
15. For the disturbance through the colon, and the activity for the general forces of the repressions produced in the ovary activity, we would prepare and take a compound which will - with the properties in the Codiron - work well with the body. Prepare same in this way and manner:
16. To 2 ounces of Strained Honey add 2 ounces of Distilled Water. Let this come to a boil. Skim off all refuse, and when nearly cool, to this as the carrier, add - in the ORDER NAMED: Pure Grain Alcohol................1 1/2 ounces, Fusion or Elixir of Wild Ginseng....1/4 ounce, Essence of Indian Turnip............1/2 dram, Tincture of Stillingia..............1/4 ounce. Shake the solution well before each dose is taken, which
1655-1 Page 3
would be a teaspoonful before the morning meal and one just before retiring - until the whole quantity has been taken.
17. When there is pain or repressions, during those periods of activities in elimination from the body, use the saturated solution of Epsom Salts in Packs across the small of the back and over the lower portion of the abdomen. There will not be required more than the change once or twice for same, and such Packs should be applied hot - to the body direct. Use heavy cloths, you see, with other dry cloths or towels laid over same.
18. The diet should be well-balanced. Keep away from too much of sweets, too much of starches. Use rather the honey in the honeycomb as the sweet. Most of the starches should be rather in whole wheat, or such natures. Vegetables, nuts and fruits should form the principal portion of the diet. As to potatoes or such starches, only eat the jackets or that part close to same - or eat more of the peel than the pulp itself.
19. In the activities of the body keep in the open as much as possible.
20. Do these and we will find we will bring normal forces for this body, Miss [1655].
21. Ready for questions.
22. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (8/8/38 note: Codiron comes in tablet form, is manufactured by The Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill., and sells for $1 a bottle.)
