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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2086].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the normal functioning or activity through the system. These disturbances, we find, are rather compound or complex in their nature.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find that disturb this body, [2086]:
5. The blood supply indicates an unbalanced condition in the metabolism of the system, as indicated by the pulse as well as the irregularity in the pressure through the heart's activity - also as indicated in the manner in which the glandular forces react to the various assimilating activities and the increasing of flesh or fat through portions of the body.
6. Also we find pressures indicated in the cerebrospinal system as related to that coordination between the impulses to the sensory force and the cerebrospinal - which is a part of this taxation also; causing the conditions with the sensory system, especially as related to the eyes, the hearing, and ALL the organs of the sensory forces - the eyes showing the more reaction at present.
7. All of this, as we find, is a part of the disturbances which are causing those reactions which are becoming so disagreeable to the body in so many ways.
8. In the activity of the nerve system - as indicated, the complex conditions exist especially in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area, causing improper reflexes to the optic forces through the vegetative nerve system; also the glandular forces as related to the activities of the thyroids, as combined with the glandular forces FROM these in the assimilating about the pancreas and the gall duct,

and a portion of the duodenum.
9. As we find, then, in making the corrective forces, - first we would begin with the deep osteopathic manipulations; so as to relieve those tensions to the eyes and the whole of the sensory forces, as particularly indicated in those areas from the 1st to the 4th dorsal, and throughout the cervical area - especially in the vegetative centers about the throat and neck and the side of the head.
10. Also we would begin with the Radio-Active Appliance; this to be used at least one hour each day, preferably as the body rests. And use such a period as the period for contemplation and meditation upon those creative forces, or constructive activity as related to the spiritual forces of the body.
11. In the diets, keep away from any quantities of sugar. As we find, take only the whole wheat or rye bread; and only drinks such as of the nature of grape juice. Take the unsweetened grape juice, or Welch's, at least four times each day; three parts of the grape juice to one part of plain water (not carbonated). Take this about half an hour before the mealtime, and at bedtime.
12. Have more of the fruit juices, and vegetable juices. And at least one meal each day should consist principally of a combination of raw fresh vegetables.
13. Do these, and as we find we will bring the better influences and forces for this body, [2086].
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What should be done for the eyes? (A) As indicated, these disturbances are from the incoordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system; and the corrections that are to be made osteopathically will be for the betterment of the eyes. If there is the continuing of inflammation, we would use of evenings the scraped Irish potato (old potatoes, not new ones) on gauze applied to the eyeballs themselves, or sockets, see? Let this remain on for a half to three quarters of an hour. This will draw the inflammation. Use only OLD potatoes, not new ones; and use such a poultice only if there is the inflammation or the burning of the eyes.
16. (Q) What was the original cause of this condition? (A) As indicated, this is a combination, or a complication, or complex condition. A part of the disturbance arises from a glandular condition, and part arises from the subluxations as indicated.

Do these things, if we would bring the better forces for this body.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for Osteopath. We would refer you to: Dr. Frank Dobbins, 551 Fifth Ave., New York City. See folder [which was enclosed] explaining theory of Radio-Active Appliance.) e.)
