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 may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, the disturbances are of somewhat long standing. They have gradually grown to be more and more acute at times.
4. These arise, as we find, from a condition existent in the liver, the activity of the gall duct, and the effect this has upon the lower and of the duodenum - as it empties into the jejunum - in its expansion and in its contraction.
5. When there has been the opportunity (and this may be done at home, or through the direction of those about the home), we would use Castor Oil Packs over the area of the liver, gall duct and caecum areas especially. These would be kept as hot as the body can stand same; using at least three to four thicknesses of flannel - not pouring the Castor Oil on same, but wringing out the flannel in the Castor Oil. Let these remain on the body two hours each day, for at least three days.
6. Enemas would be given to aid in the cleansing of the colon, if the poisons would be eliminated. These would be much better than a laxative or cathartic, under the existent conditions. The water for such enemas should be body- temperature, combining soda and salt with same; and use an intestinal antiseptic afterwards - in the last water - such as Glyco-Thymoline. These should be administered each evening especially after the application of the Castor Oil Packs - though the first two need not be high enemas nor colonic irrigations.
7. After the third day of the Castor Oil Packs, take

internally half a teacup of Olive Oil - to aid in eliminating the disturbances through the gall duct area. When this is taken, lie upon the right side, with a pillow under the liver and gall duct area, for at least an hour after this is taken - or until the Oil has passed through those portions of the system.
8. The next day after taking the Olive Oil, have a colonic irrigation - to cleanse all the fecal forces and the accumulations as will be eliminated through these areas by the use of the Packs.
9. Do not take heavy foods until the condition has cleared, not too much other than a liquid and semi-liquid diet.
10. After each meal take a quarter to half a teaspoonful of ALCAROID, first dissolved in a little water and then a full glass of water added.
11. These as we find would aid in bringing the bettered conditions for this body.
12. As for the other disturbances which arise from the taxation to the circulatory forces - as related to the metabolism of the system, as well as the effect created about the activities of the kidneys - we find that these will clear, with the clarifying of the rest of the system through those properties indicated.
13. As to whether or not it will be necessary to repeat these applications will depend upon the reaction, and how soon these are administered.
14. These as we find may bring the better forces for this body of [2018].
15. Ready for questions.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to [2980] " " Ass'n file (10/5/39 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for Castor Oil Packs.) l Packs.)
