Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Texas.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time, with special reference to eye condition. You will give the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief for this body, answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: (While going over the name and address to locate body - "Marble shop - market not far away.")
3. We have the body, [1671].
4. Now as we find, while there are specific disturbances with the eyes - or the organs in their activity, there are other disturbances as related to same that must be taken into consideration also - if we would bring the normal forces for this body of [1671].
5. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body:
6. The blood supply indicates that there is an acidity, which arises from an unbalanced condition in the MANNER of elimination and assimilation.
7. This is produced in part by the effects of the glandular forces in their activity.
8. Then, with the inclination which exists in the system, for a weakness that would arise from the activity of these organs in relation to the blood stream, it is well that these conditions be taken into consideration in the present - as we would go about making corrections that would aid in straightening the nerves of the optics, that through pressures - AND the combining of scar tissue - draw or make for a crossing of the vision.
9. These we find would be materially aided WITHOUT operative measures; though it would require longer and more specific and more CONSISTENT keeping of the applications for the correction of same.
10. As we find, then, these would be the activities as necessary for aiding in corrections in these directions, in
1671-1 Page 2
this specific condition and body:
11. First, as we would go about to supply nutriment by the activity of the assimilated forces in the circulatory system - through making corrections in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area, of the tensions and lesions - we would also find it necessary to make for a greater alkalinity in the system.
12. Corrections specific would be made in all the nerves of the vagus center; those from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal upward - specific; and those about the head, the neck, and especially those areas of the muscular forces that direct from the cervical centers the optic center and nerves.
13. These as we find would require treatments twice a week for periods of at least three to six weeks. WE would say SIX weeks at a period. Then rest from same for about ten days or two weeks, then have another series - osteopathic adjustments. Continue in this manner for at least THREE series, with the rest period between each. After the third or fourth SERIES of such adjustments, we should find near correction - and much nearer to normal conditions in the vision and in straightening the eyes.
14. We would begin also and take internally the compound known as Zilatone; one tablet of an evening - about thirty minutes after the evening meal (in the evening is preferable for this body, owing to the activities, see?) - EACH day for at least two weeks. This is to cleanse the system and tone the liver. Not more than the one series of this would be necessary.
15. Also we would take Alcaroid after the heavy meal of the day (as the noon or the morning meal); a quarter teaspoonful, dissolved and taken with the quantities of water as indicated. This is to make for a removing of acidity, and to cleanse and tone the system. Take this each day for about ten days. Then it may be taken only about once or twice a week, but kept until the system is alkalized throughout.
16. We would take Codiron as a builder for the vitality and forces of the body; two tablets taken with the meal - preferably the evening meal - until about a hundred tablets have been taken. Not more than one series of these should be necessary, until at least six months later - when another series may be taken.
17. Take the head and neck exercises.
18. There will be the necessity for the use of glasses, as changes are wrought for bettering of the vision.
19. Do these, and as we find we will not only prevent greater disturbances through the system but correct the
1671-1 Page 3
disturbance in the vision.
20. If there is the decision to make for operative forces, this will necessarily require periods when the body must rest from activity and remain very quiet - in a darkened or shaded room.
21. Hence as we find, these other measures as outlined will not only make the better correction but almost an entire straightening - and MORE of a correction that is less liable to cause greater disturbance later.
22. Ready for questions.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Father " " Ass'n file " " [1100] (8/27/38 GD's note: See separate sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath. Codiron is manufactured by the Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill. It comes in tablet form, and sells for $1 a bottle.)
