1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2059].
2. Now as we find, there are conditions which have prevented and do prevent the normal physical activity of the body. These in their inception, as we find, are of rather an insidious nature; arising primarily from prenatal influences.
3. Hence they have gradually become constitutional in their nature.
4. But, with the activities under strains and conditions existent through the functioning of the system, they now become more and more acute.
5. As we find, there is a form of congestion which is of the nature as to cause the drying of tissue in those areas where there are the needs for the greater excesses of lymph and emunctory circulation; forming a catarrhal condition in the first.
6. Thus, while the body is not at any time PERFECTLY normal, or has not been - we find that, in the system's attempt to ward off and to prevent inroads, the excesses of those natures in the blood circulation created more of those forms of the blood plasm as to ward against these.
7. Hence the tissue has been caused to become more and more in excess - and in the hardening of same produces greater strain upon the system, and the lack of the ability of the general system to store great quantities, or any excess of, nerve and muscular energy.
8. With the "wearing of the system" and the organs, and the functioning, as might be said, more and more has the body become more easily susceptible to cold, congestion, or inflammation of any nature through these portions of the system.
9. These have become more or less acute in those areas of the Eustachian tubes, as also at times in the throat, and in the activities through nasal passages - even at times with the digestion, and through the activities of the
2059-1 Page 2
assimilating forces in the stomach itself.
10. The condition in the Eustachian area began some time back, and has gradually increased the inability of the functioning of the organs as related to hearing. For, with the prolapsus of the Eustachian tube, this has gradually caused the fluids in the inner ear, and the tympanum of the ear drum itself, to thicken; causing these disturbances to become more and more acute - gradually.
11. With this condition the body becomes easily affected by sudden changes of cold or heat, or by sudden rising, - either from rest or from overexercise, or suddenly arising from any activity in which there has been a great deal of concentration; causing a little dizziness to the head, and a feeling of a heaviness on top of the head and back - in the 1st and 2nd cervicals, or at the base of the brain. Also there is a little burning at times through the eyes, and following such there is the lack of ability to assimilate foods.
12. These are the general conditions, and the effects as we find that have existed and do exist in the present.
13. Then, in making applications for the more helpful influences:
14. We find that it would aid materially to have - for some periods - the applications in which there would be the breaking up of the lesions formed by this prolapsus in the Eustachian tube areas; also the relieving of the pressures, which would allow the effect to assist in better eliminations through the soft tissue of the face or antrum, and portions of the throat and head.
15. These as we find will in some respects aid the hearing, though it will be of a gradual nature; increasing the present to about an increase of eight to twenty percent in the hearing; increasing the whole to - we would say - a sixty-five to seventy percent of a normal condition.
16. Such adjustments should be made by an osteopathic manipulator who uses the Finger Surgery for such applications.
17. If such applications are made, we find that the use of the auriphone prepared through some of the offices or associations of General Electric would prove to be much more satisfactory for the body.
18. Also we find that the very low form of electrical forces will aid - not of a high frequency, but a low form of same. This would be taken rather as a GENERAL condition for the body, than as a specific to carry vibrations into the body. Hence, as we find, we would use such as the low electrical forces from the Wet Cell Appliance, though made rather

HEAVY; that is, the amounts of the chemicals that produce this static form of electrical vibration. And it would be used to the extremities; one time the hands (both hands) holding the connecting rods; and the next time lay the rods upon glass and then put the bare feet upon same, see? or the attachments or applications may be made to rotate or circulate about the body; that is, one upon the glass and the placing of the foot on same, and the other held in the opposite hand - or the hand on the opposite side of the body, see? So, in this case, the attachments or applicators would be made into rods, you see, rather than plates - and both would be made of copper. These would be taken for thirty minutes to three-quarters of an hour to an hour, three to four times a week; with the rest of the applications - the osteopathic adjustments; which as we find offer the better help for the body.
19. These we would do.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Just what company makes the type of earphone suggested? (A) This has been indicated.
22. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [1561] " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of suggestions for Dr. Dobbins.) ins.)
