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 she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2008].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions as prevent the better normal physical functioning. The causes of these as we find arise form disturbances which have been long producing the condition.
4. In times back there was apparently a wrench or a strain in the spinal system affecting the 6th and 7th dorsal centers; causing a lesion there.
5. This lesion, producing a hindrance in supplying nerve energy to the functioning system, has caused a slowing first in the activity through portions of the colon; that more specific in the left portion of the transverse and descending, causing a plethora condition there.
6. The reflex conditions have caused and do cause pressures that have deflected the activity in the area of the heart AND the flow of the blood from same through liver.
7. Thus we have an irregular activity there, that has in part been termed a cardiac condition when it is a reflex condition AFFECTING the cardiac plexus; as situated in a portion of the area that is deflected from cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system centers.
8. This slowing of the conditions causes a disturbance through the digestive forces; also the neuritic tendencies in the arms and shoulders.
9. These as we find reduced, and the normal activity brought back to the forces of the system, we will relieve both the cardiac disturbance and the poor eliminations, and remove the causes of those neuritic tendencies which exist in the system at the present time.
10. As we find, there are other minor disturbances which

will also be materially aided with these changes wrought; as the nervous tendencies and temperament, the form of nervous digestion that occurs at times, the tiredness, and the great ANXIETY which has existed in the sympathetic reactions to the general system.
11. First, then:
12. We would begin with high colonic irrigations - either under the direction of an osteopath who would reduce the conditions in the cerebrospinal system, or a sympathetic hydrotherapist working with the osteopath who would make the adjustments.
13. The first two such colonic irrigations should be at least ten days to two weeks apart. Then if it is necessary for further colonics, these would be from three to four weeks apart, and continued until there is no mucous showing in the stool from such irrigations.
14. We would not begin the osteopathic adjustments until at least the second colonic irrigation has been given, so as to reduce the tendencies for the pressures and shortness of breath. Then these adjustments would be given about twice each week, to reduce the condition existent in the dorsal areas as indicated; coordinating all of the nerves of the vagus center as well as the cervical and lumbar and lower dorsal and sacral WITH the corrections made. These should preferably be given in series; about three weeks in the first series, then a rest period of ten days, and then again another series of three to four weeks.
15. In the diets - keep away from sweets, heavy meats or red meats, or hog meats of any nature save a little crisp bacon if such is desired.
16. Do not have foods that cause too great a quantity of fermentation, or combinations of starches with fats, for these tend to make for a clogging of the system.
17. Do these, and we will bring better conditions for this body, [2008].
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What causes the hot spells I have, that come and go, accompanied with excessive perspiration? (A) The variation in the flow of the blood supply, as indicated, between the cardiac center and the liver area; arising, as indicated, from the condition in the colon.
20. (Q) In what condition are my organs? (A) As indicated. Do these things that have been outlined here, being persistent with same, and we will find bettered conditions for this body.

21. (Q) Please suggest a doctor in Kansas City, Mo., who will cooperate in carrying out your suggestions and instructions for treatment. (A) Take any good osteopath that would be in sympathy with such suggestions; giving reference to those who have indicated their interest in and their activity with such suggestions.
22. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Mr. [257] (See extra sheet of instructions [which was enclosed] for Hydrotherapist AND Osteopath.
