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, [2016].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions that are rather of the hidden nature.
4. These as we find arise first, primarily, from an overtaxed nervous system, with lesions forming in portions of the cerebrospinal system.
5. Thus the impulses are weakened in the activity for the eliminations in the system, especially as related to the alimentary canal; and there is a form of prolapsus in the ascending colon.
6. This, combined with the effects of poisons as accumulations, causes the greater disturbance as of weakness and general debilitation, and the lack of incentive for activity in many of those ways as should be the natural result from a general relaxed system.
7. In this, as we find, there are indications through the blood stream of the toxic forces, or accumulations throughout the system.
8. IN the areas especially of the 6th and 7th dorsal, also the lumbar axis and the upper cervicals, do we find those the more affected. The lesions in the 6th and 7th dorsal, and in the lumbar axis, are those that cause this disturbance through the alimentary canal.
9. Poisons in the system affect the general metabolism of the system.
10. The nervous disturbances are a combination of tired nerves, as well as the accumulations of poisons causing a reaction in the sympathetic nervous system.
11. These as we find are the main, or the general, disturbances in this body.
12. A better appetite, the better abilities to rest, the

better reactions through the glandular forces and the general eliminations as related to the general activities of the system, will also be improved by the application of those influences as we find that may correct these conditions.
13. As we find, the better way and manner would be through what may be called the general HYDROTHERAPY treatments, - such as may be administered through The Reilly Service, preferably.
14. These would be the manners:
15. First, have a general colonic sufficiently often to rid the system of those poisons, and especially the accumulations in the colon area. These would not be given so often, but sufficient to rid the system of all the phlegm, or such natures in the colon that produce inflammatory forces throughout the body.
16. Twice each week we would have the general hydrotherapy treatments, until at least ten have been taken. In these we would include the cabinet sweats - not too high of the dry heat in the beginning, especially, but sufficient to produce a good, or near normal, reaction through the superficial or perspiratory system, followed by a thorough rubdown.
17. Following such a treatment the body would rest thirty minutes, before the osteopathic corrections are made; and during such thirty minute period there would be used a very MILD electrical treatment - preferably from the Radio-Active Appliance which causes the BODY-exercise of the electrical forces in same, rather than any electrical force as would change the vibratory forces too severely.
18. THEN, after there has been the relaxing of the body by the use of the Radio-Active Appliance, we would have the general massage and OSTEOPATHIC corrections to reduce those lesions in the areas we have indicated - with special reference to correcting the subluxations in the areas indicated.
19. Then following same we would have the rubs for aiding in the better eliminations.
20. As an aid for the eliminations, we find the SERUTAN would be most helpful.
21. In the matter of the diet - this should be body-building, and nerve-supplying.
22. Hence, we would have plenty of fresh, GREEN vegetables. No great quantities of starches as combinations. Some starches would be taken, to be sure.
23. DO NOT take cereals AND citrus fruit juices at the same meal!
24. Have plenty of whole wheat at least two or three times a
2016-1 Page 3
week; also steel cut oats, not rolled oats.
25. Plenty of the activities from fish and fowl - these WELL cooked, but not fried.
26. Do these, and as we find we may bring the better conditions for this body, [2016].
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) Should the osteopathic corrections be given at Reilly's also? (A) How else would the body be changed from one treatment to another? Naturally, if they are all to be combined in one!
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra copy of directions [which was enclosed] for The Reilly Service, Atten. Dr. H. J. Reilly, R.C.A. Bldg., New York City. See folder and directions [which were enclosed] pertaining to Radio-Active Appliance.) e.)
