Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Missouri.
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 that may be asked.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2534].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better physical functionings in the organs of the body.
4. These in their inception have been of long standing. Gradually the hindrances have magnified themselves, through the changes which have from time to time occurred, until they begin to assume proportions that will necessarily require attention.
5. Many of these have reached such a state that they could easily be taken for causes. We find that these have had to do with the effects produced in the activity of organs that have gradually unbalanced the eliminating and assimilating forces of the body.
6. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2534] we are speaking of, ..., Missouri:
7. The blood supply - in its relation to eliminations; activities and flow through the liver, heart, lungs and kidneys - indicates a long standing hindrance in the manner in which the excretory functionings in the assimilating system have reacted with these organs and the blood stream.
8. We find that this is partially from an injury received in youth. As a contributory cause, this has affected the body from the nerve centers in the lower portion of the spinal system; namely, in the coccyx area.
9. Then, with a congestion from a cold - combined with some malaria - this subluxation produced a definite reaction upon the activity of the liver as related to the lower hepatic circulation; a subluxation of the activity of the gall duct area, and the flow of the pancrean fluids as combined with the excretions in the activity of the spleen itself; until
2534-1 Page 2
this - the spleen - has become partially involved, as has also the liver, the kidneys, and naturally the circulation to heart AND lungs.
10. Naturally, these involve the glandular forces of the body.
11. This as we find is the basis of the disturbance.
12. The reaction caused from this in the present is a hindrance to the circulation to the lower extremities, as indicated in the swelling at times of feet or ankles, the rheumatic pains that become a part of the expression in the muscular forces of the extremities - from the lack of proper eliminations, from the uric acids and the tendency for an excess acidity throughout the system; a rash, or what might be called the hives or the like, about portions of the abdomen and the chest. All of these become, now, an expression - or a warning to the body of a disturbance assuming greater proportions deeper within, which arises from all of these conditions which have been a gradual growth in the body itself.
13. From time to time there are minor conditions or disturbances, when there is an upsetting of the digestive forces, when there are poor eliminations, when the activities of various properties - some minerals, some vegetables - become contributory to the minor reactions needing correction. While some of these may be partially met at times, we find that the basic conditions still exist.
14. In the nerve forces of the body we find that pressures upon the superficial circulation bring about disturbing forces. While these are only reflex, we find that the causes are deep-seated - as indicated, and have been long existent; hindering the nerve forces from carrying impulses through the nerve centers and ganglia, and hindering that activity as related to the assimilating system.
15. Hence some of the conditions are constitutional - in that there is the lack of the ability for assimilation, the lack of the proper weight or balance being kept in system.
16. All of these have been a part of the disturbances through this body, as we find.
17. As to the organs themselves - we find that there are involvements in a functional manner, and the organs are becoming more and more involved in their ability to create the proper influence in the body. Hence unless these are attended to now, we will soon find that they will assume disturbances of greater proportions so that it will become necessary to consider the effects, rather than sources, in making the applications for relief.
18. But as we find, with consistency and persistency, with
2534-1 Page 3
all of these conditions taken into consideration, we may in a few months bring about the much better, the much nearer to normal conditions through this body.
19. Then, in making helpful applications for the body, - these are the do's and the don'ts:
20. DO NOT take fried foods in the diet.
21. DO NOT take large quantities of fats of ANY kind. However, DO NOT leave butter out of the diet, nor milk when these begin to agree with the body. Use all butterfats, then - in the milk as well as in butter. Hence most of the vegetables should be seasoned with this, rather than with meat or hog fats or other forms of fats - unless vegetable oils are used, which may be combined with some of the foods in their preparation.
22. DO:
23. Begin first to use for an hour each day the hot Castor Oil Packs, over the liver and the caecum area on the right side - directly to the skin, you see, from the lower area of the rib extending to the groin. Use three to four thicknesses of heavy flannel, preferably old flannel rather than new. Dip the flannel in the oil and wring out lightly. Apply warm, not hot but warm. Then apply an electric pad to keep this warm, sufficiently hot as not to be harmful. Let this remain on for one hour. Then sponge off with a little soda water. Repeat the whole procedure each day for five days.
24. On the evening of the fifth day, take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.
25. Then rest from the applications two days.
26. Repeat the Packs then for an hour each day for three days.
27. On the evening of the third day take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.
28. Then rest from the applications three days.
29. Then repeat the Packs for three days.
30. THEN, after the three days, early on the fourth day begin with taking internally small doses of Fletcher's Castoria (not taking the Olive Oil this time, you see). Take half a teaspoonful every half hour until there is a full flushing of the system, even though it requires a whole bottle or more. This is to be taken in small doses so as to be absorbed, as well as to cause eliminations.
31. When this has begun to act WELL, then take two heaping teaspoonsful of Sal Hepatica in a glass of water.
32. Rest from the applications then about three days.
33. THEN begin (not before) with osteopathic adjustments; these with special reference to the condition existent in
2534-1 Page 4
the coccyx, the lumbar axis, the 9th dorsal, and - to be sure throughout the vegetative nerve system - or, the upper dorsal and through the cervical. But make the corrections first in coccyx AND lumbar area, and COORDINATE the upper dorsal and cervical WITH the corrections made.
34. Have at least two of these osteopathic corrections each week until eighteen such adjustments have been made.
35. If there are the tendencies for the bad taste, by the stirring up of the system, take a good eliminant - or a laxative; but if these treatments are properly administered, the system should be kept clean - with those cleansings as created first, by the other applications which will have been made.
36. Give colonic irrigations also during the period of the osteopathic adjustments.
37. Eat plenty of foods of all natures that carry the vitamins of the B complex, as well as A and D. These should best be taken in the foods, though - after the osteopathic adjustments are begun - we would begin taking two ADIRON tablets with the heavier meal of the day. Whether the heavier meal is at noon or in the evening, take the Adiron with that meal - but do not begin this until the osteopathic treatments are started.
38. Do these, and then in eight weeks we would give further instructions.
39. Ready for questions.
40. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs. See directions [which were enclosed] for Osteopath, when you are ready for these treatments. Let us know the name and address of the osteopath you choose, so we may put him on our mailing list, also ask him for a report on your case at the proper time. Adiron is manufactured by The Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill., and sells for $1 a bottle of 60 tablets, $3 a bottle of 250 tablets. According to the Readings this is the best balanced vitamin tablet on the market. When you have followed all the directions, in the manner and order indicated, for a period of eight weeks, let us know so
