1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, the conditions are rather out of the ordinary. And there has been and was a great deal of neglect accorded this body during the periods of birth, presentation and during its formative year of development.
4. These as we find are of such natures that material help and aid may come to the body. As to whether it will be entirely relieved and be able to use the lower limbs perfectly normally or not, or even the upper limbs nominally, will depend upon the response the body makes; as well as to how consistently and thoroughly the applications for improvement may be made.
5. These are the conditions as we find them.
6. In the presenting, or in the delivery, there was an injury primarily to the lower lumbar and sacral areas.
7. While this has prevented a normal development, naturally being to the nerve forces of the sensory or sympathetic system it has kept all the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic from nominal development of the muscular and locomotory activity; through not an atrophy but an impaired development of the nerve tensions and the nerve connections through the ganglia in those areas as indicated.
8. These then as we find cause the weakened condition, the inclination for the body to easily become acid through its activities; and weakening the ability for resistance, or lacking in same, we find the general weakness occurs.
9. As we find, those administrations which have been made neuropathically are most excellent; but we would add this as the rub externally - an equal combination of Peanut Oil and

Olive Oil. The occasional use of the Cod Liver Oil is very well, but this taken internally will be found much preferable for the body, especially in the form of Cod Liver Oil and iron and the vitamins - as may be found in that called Codiron; this taken about one pellet twice each day, with the meal.
10. Also we would use the low electrical forces as from the very low form of electricity but in the high vibratory force, as found in the Violet Ray (hand machine, bulb applicator). This would be applied direct to the body, not too much at a time, and especially along the cerebrospinal system, and particularly in the area of the muscular force and the nerve tensions for arms and limbs, or the upper dorsal and cervical and the lumbar and the sacral and down the lower limbs. This will aid in their development, and as it were the "taking" of the activity of the manipulations, as well as absorptions through the oil rubs.
11. When this is first begun (the Violet Ray), do not give this more than a minute - over the whole body.
12. These should be kept almost every day; that is, the massage as well as the Violet Ray.
13. Keep these up, and the diets for body building.
14. Do this for sixty days, and then we would give further instructions.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Will he ever be able to talk plain? (A) As indicated, this depends upon the ability to make for the coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system, or the sensory forces and the cerebrospinal. He should improve in all directions. Do this for sixty days, and then we will give further instructions.
17. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Mother through Mrs. Cooney " " Ass'n file (GD's note at the time of the reading: Codiron is manufactured by the Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill. It sells for $1 a bottle of 60 tablets, $3 a bottle of 250 tablets.)
