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. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1807].
3. Now as we find, conditions which exist with this body are not fully understood by those administering in the present; or the present ministrations would not indicate same at least.
4. There exists a very definite disturbance, as we find; and unless there are some measures for corrections it may bring conditions that will so affect the mental, THROUGH the pressures being created, as to cause a great deal of disturbance, and a condition hard to cope with if only the nervousness AND the attitudes are kept THROUGH this nervousness as being produced, rather than aided by those applications.
5. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1807] we are speaking of:
6. In the blood supply there is not a great deal of disturbance, though quite a variation in the blood pressure as well as the character of the blood supply, owing to the character of administrations for these disturbances.
7. In the nervous system do we find the cause of the disturbance; through a pressure existent in the lumbar and sacral area. This was produced by conditions that have caused an unbalancing of the pelvic bone, or the pelvic saddle rather; and that needs such corrections as to remove the tension on the sympathetic system, as well as the effect produced in the cerebrospinal system from the coccyx, the sacral, the ileum plexus and the lumbar axis; and then, of course, those areas from the 9th dorsal to the 1st cervical coordinated with same. This would be done osteopathically, and preferably in the Dobbins' manner.

8. This as we find will remove those tensions after a few applications.
9. It would be well that these treatments be kept for a period of six to eight weeks, though towards the end the applications or adjustments may be farther apart. In the first we would give these two or three times a week; for of necessity these will not be very deep treatments in the beginning.
10. We will find that the inclinations for the terrific headaches, and with some applications that are being undertaken, may become of a migraine nature. For the pressure and the effect of these upon the nerve forces as radiate through the vagus centers and areas are becoming involved, and will be found to be very tender; especially in the upper dorsal areas.
11. Hence these will necessitate that there be GENTLENESS in applying the first three or four treatments, and that there be - through some means - a sedative of a very mild nature, to aid in relieving the tensions through the system, especially for rest.
12. But that these are affecting the connections between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic, through the pelvis as WELL as through the vegetative areas, is indicated by the attitudes that the sympathetic reactions produce in the body.
13. However, as we find, if these are applied in the manners as have been here indicated, through the general applications for such pressures, we will find aid and help that should soon bring near to normalcy through this body.
14. Also that there have been some lesions formed, or adherences through pelvic organs, will be found; unless there is a ready response TO the applications which we have indicated are not proper for this condition.
15. The use of douches, not above body-temperature and not below, with a teaspoonful of Atomidine to the quart of water, will be most helpful in relieving the tensions through pelvic organs AS corrections are made in the lumbar, sacral and coccyx area, AND coordinated with the rest of the system.
16. Do that, and we will bring near to normal forces for this body, [1807].
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What sedative would you recommend? (A) This had best be left with those making the applications, see?
19. (Q) Should she continue all present treatments? (A) As we find, we would go to Dobbins immediately and follow those instructions here given.
1807-1 Page 3
20. (Q) Is present living routine suitable to effect a cure, if following the treatments here suggested? (A) It will be necessary that there will at some time come a change. This may be followed BETTER by the body being closer to Dobbins, for the first few weeks - if this is practical.
21. (Q) About how long should treatments require to effect a cure? (A) As indicated.
22. (Q) Will treatments suggested eliminate the constant headaches? (A) As indicated. Do these.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to [Father] [...] two copies, one for Dr. Frank Dobbins, 551 Fifth Avenue, New York City " " Ass'n file
