1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2085].
3. As we find, indiscretions in the diet - and overtaxations - have produced temporary upsets; that is, they are temporary provided measures are taken in the present to correct same.
4. Too much of starch as combined with sugars indicate a blood pressure and a heart disturbance, but these are conditions arising from the upsetting in the liver; thus affect the pancrean area as related to the kidney eliminations.
5. Then the conditions in the gall duct cause disturbances; producing the bitterness in the taste, or the regurgitation to the digestive area and in the stomach.
6. We would be mindful first in the diet.
7. Go on almost a fruit and fruit juice diet entirely for a day or so; citrus fruits, with such as are easily assimilated.
8. At least three times each week have a Jerusalem artichoke in the diet. Cook this in patapar Paper, preserving the juices and mixing with the artichoke as it is prepared for the meal, seasoning with butter and salt and a little pepper if so desired. This will soon reduce the tendencies towards the sugar reaction.
9. Two or three days out of each week we would apply the Castor Oil Packs over the liver area, for one hour.
10. Have at least three or four good osteopathic adjustments, that make for a setting up of general eliminations through the whole of the alimentary canal, and relaxing those tensions to that area between the liver and the heart's activity - this especially in the lower cervicals and upper dorsals. Have Dobbins make the adjustments.
11. Then keep those precautions as to diet as we have

outlined for the body; and we will bring better conditions for the body, [2085].
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is sugar in urine and 180% blood test indicative of diabetes, or is this just a passing phase? (A) As indicated, not necessarily - if taken in time. DO NOT take shots of insulin; else we may produce that condition requiring same to be kept. The body is too thin for such shocks to the system.
14. (Q) What is cause of looseness in bowels, sort of watery gas, and puffy stools? (A) The lack of proper assimilation. Use the Castor Oil Packs. Then each day take a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth and ten drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred together in a glass of water. These will be beneficial.
15. (Q) What other fruits may be taken with the citrus fruits? (A) Fruits and vegetables, but preferably more vegetables raw than cooked; though we would take some cooked, of course - as beans, lentils, and all leafy vegetables. Little of meats, though a little fish and fowl may be taken, but not fried. DO NOT take carbonated waters or ANY hard drinks.
16. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do these if we would relieve these present conditions.
17. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil packs; also extra sheet of directions for Dr. Dobbins.
