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 the drinking; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1753].
3. Now, while there are disturbing conditions, these as we find arise primarily from the effects of indiscretions of the body; though there are also physical conditions to be considered which CAUSE, or produce in part, inclinations towards the appetite which produces the desire for drink and indiscretion.
4. Hence in giving that as we find which might be helpful in the experience of the entity and body - first, there must be considered the mental attitude of the body.
5. While with the applications suggested here there will be changes in the appetites, in the desires, in the inclination, we find that there must FIRST be the PURPOSING IN the mental forces of the body sufficient to give the body THROUGH the applications necessary the opportunity to bring about this change which will enable the body to resist and to overcome those inclinations, those tendencies, those appetites.
6. As we find, in the lumbar and the lower dorsal areas there are those subluxations which should be released, as combined with pressures in the upper dorsal and lower cervicals - through a series of adjustments osteopathically administered.
7. Also we would take those properties which will make for the glandular reaction as to supply energies to replace the disturbed forces.
8. Thus we may make for sufficient of those changes - if there is the inclination or the desire of the body at all to refrain from the satisfying - as to eliminate the
1753-1 Page 2
inclinations and disturbances.
9. Fill the mind and body, then, with constructive, creative forces, desires to make not only reparation but to consider the obligations, the promises, the love of the family, home life and the like, as to make for a regeneration of the whole purposes and desires of the body.
10. First, then, under such an one as Thompson, have those adjustments made; in the lumbar and lower dorsal, coordinating with same those pressures which will be found or indicated in the upper dorsal and lower cervical area.
11. Take about six such adjustments, DEEPLY given.
12. After the second adjustment, begin with a combination dosage of Chloride of Gold and Bromide of Soda. Prepare the two solutions and add the dosage of each only when ready to be taken. Keep the two solutions separate.
13. The Gold solution would be prepared in the proportions of three grains of Chloride of Gold in three ounces of Distilled Water.
14. The Bromide of Soda Solution would be fifteen grains of Bromide of Soda in one ounce of Distilled Water.
15. Three times each day, take one minim of the Gold Solution and three minims of the Soda Solution in half a glass of water. Take same in this manner for five days, then leave off for two days, then again take for five days; and continue until almost the whole amount at least has been taken - of the Gold Solution, and the Bromide of Soda Solution continued as indicated along with same. Three times a day one minim of the Gold Solution with three minims of the Soda Solution. Do not put these together until ready to be taken, see? Use a medicine dropper for measurement; do not just measure by dropping from the bottle, or just guessing at it.
16. Now this will produce such conditions that if strong drink is taken it will nauseate the body. But if there is the disregard of this and the CONTINUED use of the strong drink, it will make for the non-effectiveness in the system except nausea.
17. But doing all of these, with the purpose, with the desire for correcting of self, we will find conditions, environs, associations all changing; and these will make for corrections of other disturbances in the system that are beneficial to the body at this time.
18. Ready for questions.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Aunt, Air Mail - Special, to Detroit address " " Ass'n file
