1. HLC: 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 may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1980].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the best normal reaction in the physical forces of the body.
4. These as we find are hidden, in a nature, and the causes arise from an injury received some years ago, in the coccyx area, and then a contributory cause later in the area above the lumbar axis.
5. These caused a slowing of the circulation through the areas of the lacteal ducts, thus producing a COLD area there, that has produced a partial adherence of tissue.
6. With the activity of the lymph through the area, we find that periodically, when there is the lack of proper eliminations through the alimentary canal, there occurs a reflex to the coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system area; that takes the governing of the impulse, as it were, to the brain reactions; OR a form of spasmodic reaction that might be called epileptic in its nature.
7. If this is allowed to remain, or if there are the attempts to allay by or through the applications ordinarily in such cases, we will not only continue this reaction but cause greater destructive forces in the areas along the impulses to the sympathetic and cerebrospinal centers in lumbar and coccyx area; thus increasing and making more severe the attacks that occur from this deflection of impulse.
8. As we find, this may be materially aided if there will be first the breaking up of this tendency for the lesions in

the area indicated - by the application of hot Castor Oil Packs. This would be done persistently and consistently for at least two hours each day for a period of three to five days. Use at least three thicknesses of heavy flannel, - having the flannel as hot with the Castor Oil as can be handled, or squeezed or wrung with the Castor Oil in same; then applying an electric pad, after sufficient padding to prevent the short circuiting or destroying efficiency of the electric pad on same.
9. Then have a manipulative application in the form of neuropathic adjustments to the areas about the coccyx and the sacral and the lumbar axis, and especially in the 1st and 2nd lumbar; gently massaging the area about the lower portion of the liver and the lacteal ducts in the right side.
10. In the diets beware of too much starches or too much of sweets. The sweets that are taken should only be of honey or the fruit sweets, or the like. Plenty of raw, fresh vegetables each day for the body. No white bread nor white potatoes should be taken.
11. At least ten of such adjustments neuropathically should be made.
12. Do these, and if it becomes necessary - to relieve the tensions - repeat the Castor Oil Packs after a week.
13. It is well that high enemas be given after the series of Castor Oil Packs - not one each day, but AFTER the three to five days of the Packs, see? to remove the disturbing forces through the colon area.
14. Thus we will bring the better physical forces for this body, [1980].
15. Let the mental attitudes of the body be constructive, - that is, of a spiritual import - purposeful in its activities.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Is there any neuropath in New York you would recommend? (A) Any neuropath that knows how to make the adjustments in the coccyx and sacral and lacteal ducts, should be efficient. Such as Taylor, or as one on Long Island near the entity - Fremont.
18. (Q) What was the nature of the original accident? (A) Striking the end of the spine - on bannister.
19. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body? (A) Do these, if we would rid the condition from this body.
20. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mrs. [...] (one for Neuropath who makes the

adjustments as indicated. We would refer you to Dr. W. D. Taylor, 25 No. Harrison St., East Orange, N.J., who will recommend a Neuropath in your section.) Copy to Ass'n file (8/23/39 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.) .)
