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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which have prevented the better normal functioning.
4. In a manner this might be described as almost a vicious cycle, or circle, in which the body is attempting to function.
5. While conditions are gradually growing more serious, we find that if taken in time - now - they may be materially aided; eventually bringing near to normal reactions through the body.
6. In some time back there has been, as we find indicated, the effect of a severe cold, or a flu germ through the system. At the time there were subluxations existent in the 6th and 7th dorsal centers. These have continued to prevent the proper reflexes from the circulatory forces. The nature and position of these have affected the general nervous system, and this in turn produces a nervous digestion or indigestion, disturbing the liver, at times the heart, the circulation through lungs; and may produce most any form of sympathetic reaction.
7. These as we find are the sources, the causes then, of the disturbance with this body, [2313].
8. The effects have been quite different, that these have produced upon the physical organism at various stages. At times the upper hepatics have been disturbed, at others the reflexes or the kidneys, and at others the heart's activity, inability to sleep, the digestive forces, and even at times the superficial circulation has suffered from the poor eliminations - or the incoordinating of the eliminating forces of the body, through this combination of disturbances.

9. As we find, then, first:
10. We would begin with the deep GENTLE manipulations osteopathically throughout the whole system. After the first six or eight, make specific adjustments in the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal centers; the upper portions of the dorsals to the right, the lower to the left - and down. Make these twice a week for some six to eight adjustments, even after the first six to eight general treatments have been given.
11. Then once a week, after these adjustments have been made, we would have a deep therapy treatment of the short wave electrical forces, to purify the blood stream. Not of the recoil nature as the sinusoidal, but of the deep therapy nature, see?
12. These then should be gradually left off.
13. There should be care taken as to plenty of exercise in the open, and plenty of the food values that are body, blood and nerve building.
14. These as we find should rebuild, should remove causes, and rebuild the forces for this body that are disturbed.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Any suggestion as to who would be best to make these adjustments? (A) Any good osteopath who will work with the suggestions here indicated.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (7/26/40 GD's note: See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath.
