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 here, [2185]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, some conditions are bettered - some conditions are in a state where the disturbances appear to be aggravated.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them in the present with this body, [2185] we are speaking of:
5. As we find, excesses of forms of vitamins or energies that have been taken in the body - with those hindrances through portions of the system - have not been distributed as they might have been, if there had been a better relaxation of the ganglia that supply the eliminating system - or systems.
6. This has produced the inclination for the formation of pockets and of lymph cells becoming exaggerated through portions of the body. This becomes very aggravating at times, as well as producing broken tissue that WITHOUT the absorption or elimination through normal channels may bring about the formation of pockets that may form into conditions hard to control.
7. Also this has that inclination to produce irregularity to the blood pressure and the irregularity in the circulation - the attempts, as it were, to force circulation through congested areas.
8. These tend to form disturbing conditions about muscular forces - eyes, ears, throat, abdominal area, pelvic organs, AND all channels for elimination.
9. As we find, then, these need practical attention and specific applications.
10. Not that precautions are not to be taken as to the heart's irregularities, but as we find the better applications would be the hydrotherapy - with a little dry heat, just sufficient to cause the beginning of
2185-3 Page 2
perspiration, and then a fume bath. The fume bath would preferably be with witchhazel - about two teaspoonsful in a pint of water - that may be set in a croup cup or fume cup in the dry heat cabinet, the other heat turned off when the fumes are turned on, see?
11. Following the Fume Bath there would be a very gentle but thorough massage, and especially along the spinal areas in the upper cervical, or throughout the cervical, upper dorsal area, and from the 8th or 9th dorsal through the sacral area. Follow this then with a good rub, preferably for this body an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil - all the body will absorb - which should include the muscular forces of arms and head, the neck and shoulders, and the lower limbs and feet. This would be followed, of course, by an alcohol rub to close the pores.
12. Such a general hydrotherapy treatment would be given once a week.
13. Also once a week, other than this but not at the same time, have an osteopathic adjustment; with special reference to all centers setting up better eliminations through the body. In the massage and manipulation (and we would have such as Soden), there should be used a good, thorough manipulation to the head, neck, eyes and throat. This will tend to relieve this fullness in throat, bringing better conditions for eyes and relieving the tensions throughout the body.
14. In the matter of the diet - we would include, in the beginning, vegetable soups, fish soups, small quantities of fish, lamb stew - not too much of fat nor too much of meats in the first. These will make a better distribution of the energies that have been assimilated but not distributed through the body, that are causing a great deal of distress in the centers where there are those forms of lesions preventing this distribution.
15. At least once a week we would take a Glyco-Thymoline douche for the irritation that has been indicated through the pelvis or uterus. The excess of lymph and the tendency for adherence of tissue causes this disturbance. It may become very aggravating unless healing forces are used. Have the water body temperature, putting a quart and a half of water with two tablespoonsful of the Glyco-Thymoline. Use only a Fountain Syringe.
16. Do these.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Are the eyes better or worse than a year ago? (A) In the present they are worse, but this is acute from general disturbances that are in some effects worse. But as
2185-3 Page 3
we find, with these corrections and the use of these properties all just as given, we should bring much help for this body.
19. (Q) What is the unusually sharp pain above kidney area, right side? (A) Pressure of lymph pockets upon the capsules about the kidneys. Too much lymph not distributed properly. Do the things as indicated. Do them consistently, and we will find bettered conditions.
20. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of osteopathic suggestions for: Dr. C. Haddon Soden, 711 Phila. Savings Fund Bldg., 12th & Market Sts., Philadelphia, Penna. If he does not also give the hydrotherapy, get him to suggest someone in Philadelphia who does this work. If you find a good hydrotherapist, let us have his name and address, please.) ase.)
