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 here.
3. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances affecting the body. While the sources of these in the main appear hidden, the effects produced in the abilities appear as latent or hidden forces also - in the manner or mien of the body's activities.
4. We find that these in the main EMANATE from disturbances in the nervous system; and these pressures or lesions are of such natures or positions that they cause deficiencies in the activities of some portions of the functionings of organs, and excesses in others.
5. The applications which have been made at times have been for the effects, rather than for the causes.
6. Thus the complications of the nature that while there hasn't been caused at all times full incapacitation, there has been and is the general disturbance of the nature that prevents the body from giving its best in physical and mental activity.
7. These pressures existent in the cerebrospinal system are as subluxations and lesions of different forms; those of a circular or ring nature about the coccyx area - causing deflections through the lower portions of the body, as well as becoming a contributory cause to the disturbance in the eliminations through the alimentary canal and to the general nervous system - and that of a lateral lesion in the 8th and 9th dorsal, which hinders in the production through the glandular forces of the assimilating system of sufficient of the energies as should be supplied to the nerve forces of the body.
8. Also this weakens the activities from the kidneys and
2306-1 Page 2
liver, and the metabolism of the system becomes disturbed.
9. These as we find are the sources, the causes of the conditions which exist with this body in the present.
10. Then - under the supervision of such an one as Saxmann (Robert) - we would correct first those subluxations which exist along the cerebrospinal system.
11. In the beginning the corrections should be easily made; that is, do not attempt to make too many adjustments or to move too many of the segments at once. Hence we would give the gentle manipulation and adjustment at least every day for the first ten days; then for the next ten days they may be given every other day; then for the next round give them two to three times a week.
12. After the first week or ten days of such treatments, we would begin with the greater quantities of the vitamins, - when the deeper adjustments are begun, you see. The outlines for the diets would be made according to the manner of applications by the one making the adjustments; but we would add a greater stimulation through quantities of vitamins found in B-1 and G. These would bring the better influences and forces for this body.
13. Then, after about the fifteenth or twentieth treatment (not before), we would begin with the low electrical forces once each week of a stimulating nature, that do not produce too great an amount of internal heat or temperature; rather of the sinusoidal nature, that would aid in emptying the gall duct, eliminating the poisons from the system, so that - AS the activities of the corrections and changes are wrought with the treatments - the system will be able to adjust itself.
14. Doing these, in a consistent manner, we will bring better forces for this body.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) With this method of treatment, will he recover sufficiently to work the trade again? (A) He should recover sufficiently to allow the locomotion as well as the general activity and concentration necessary to carry on. This should enable the body to recuperate from many of the losses which have occurred to the general activities through these disturbing influences.
17. (Q) Will be be successful in obtaining the loan now under discussion? (A) This will depend upon the abilities of the body to reach the better recuperative forces.
18. (Q) Will he be able to eliminate the Mercantile Dis.

Corp. with whom he is doing business now? (A) If so desired.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Dr. Robert Saxmann, 7236 Yale Ave., Chicago, Ill.
