Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York.
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 that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1806].
3. Now as we find, there is rather the complication of physical disturbance; though the sources which have produced or do produce the greater part of the disturbance arise from a specific cause.
4. In times back, we find there was a high temperature, the congested area involving especially the lymph and emunctory circulation; so that where there was the forming of lesions and thickened tissue there has become scar tissue through the area of the lacteal duct and the lower portion of the gall duct.
5. Hence there are the inabilities for the body to gain its normal vital forces to keep the better coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system; also the inability of activity in periods through portions of the extremity forces - and especially the upsetting of eliminations as related to the superficial circulation.
6. These are the complications which arise from these disturbances.
7. As we find, then, in making administrations, all of these conditions should be taken into consideration; but necessarily each must come in its order as the corrections would be made for the system to function the nearer normal, and thus - through the very activity of the building within the self those resistances and correcitons - build up those portions of the system that have become deficient through the activity, or through their being cut off from the general activity of the system.
8. Hence as we find:

9. We would begin first with the applications of Castor Oil Packs over the liver, gall duct and caecum and sacral areas. These would cover the whole of the right side, from the rib area downward, you see, to the beginning of the hip joint. These would be applied for at least an hour EVERY day, for three to five days. Use at least three to four thicknesses of heavy flannel wrung out in the hot Castor Oil - not merely dipped in or poured on. Apply as hot as the body can stand same over this area, for an hour each day for four or five days.
10. Also each evening before retiring we would massage the body over the same areas with Olive Oil; also along the spine, as well as the areas around the caecum and especially the whole area where the Castor Oil Packs are put. This may be done before or after the Packs are applied, but at a period when the body is to rest - though NOT WHILE the Packs are on, to be sure. Do this for four to five days, or during the same days the Packs are applied.
11. Then leave off both the Packs and the Rubs, and begin with manipulations osteopathically administered to make for the breaking up of the adhesions and lesions through this area (in the caecum and lacteal duct and gall duct area, see, as indicated); making the specific adjustments as will be found necessary in the 4th and 5th dorsal area, and the lumbar and sacral axis. These would be given about every other day, or twice a week until six or eight treatments are given.
12. We would then leave off these for the four or five days while the Castor Oil Packs AND the Olive Oil Rubs would be given again, you see - this time for two or three days, at least, though four or five would be better.
13. Then we would have another such series of the osteopathic adjustments.
14. After these have been carried through for the second or third period or series of the applications, the Oil Packs and Rubs AND the adjustments, we would then give the changes necessary for the better adjustment for the eliminating forces and body-building forces in this body of [1806].
15. When the second series of Oil Packs are given, we would then take a large dose of Olive Oil internally - that is, half a cupful - to cause better eliminations.
16. Also we would use high enemas to enable the system to make for the corrective forces.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What should the diet be during this period? (A) The easily assimilated foods, and especially plenty of those that cause better eliminations; as green vegetables

and things of that nature. After the third series of each of these applications as indicated, we would give further instructions.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs. See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath. We would refer you to Dr. Frank Dobbins, 551 Fifth Ave., New York City. At your convenience we would appreciate a history of your case to the time of obtaining the Reading. This is valuable for our files, so that we may have something with which to compare our information.) n.)
