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, [2602].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These are rather a combination of disturbances. While they may become a complication, they are in the main combinations in the present and are definite and distinct.
4. These have to do with the chemical forces of the body; thus producing the conditions that cause the complications to arise in the combination of disturbances.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2602], we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates that there has existed, and still exists in a form, a super or an excess acid condition through the system. This is indicated by the rash which has been an internal disturbance in parts of the body, and also in the glands of the throat, the mouth, and the tissue of the face, nasal passages and the like.
7. Also there is a lack of proper eliminations through the alimentary canal. This tends to make for a congested condition in the activity of the liver, throwing an excess of acids to be removed from the system through the perspiratory and the respiratory systems, as well as the kidneys and bladder.
8. This in itself produces an irritation to the organs of the pelvis in the present, and a form of leucorrhea or discharge at times that is irritating to the body.
9. These as we find have arisen from an unbalanced diet, and the combination of a high nervous tension throughout the system.
10. Then, in the nerve forces of the body - as in the
2602-1 Page 2
cerebrospinal system - we find subluxations that tend to hinder the normal functionings of the activities of the organs of the pelvis.
11. This as we find is the cause of the inabilities (combined with the acidity of the system) to complete the conditions as arose from those activities in the organs of the pelvis, or the cause of the discharge - or the false activity in the system.
12. The subluxations exist in the 9th and 10th dorsal, and in the 7th and 8th dorsal, and in the 3rd and 4th cervical. The correcting of these subluxations will tend to allow for better normal reactions through the system; aiding also, through the corrections and stimulations to the digestive and the eliminating systems, to cause better activities that will ELIMINATE the sources of the headaches that have arisen from this indigestion, or the superacidity tending towards a laceration or irritation in the lacteal areas of the lower portion of the duodenum.
13. These will also be aided by a consistency in a diet that would eliminate these disturbances from the body.
14. Then, these as we find should be the applications for helpful influences in this body, [2602] at the present time:
15. In the beginning, take first internally an eliminant. We would take Fletcher's Castoria in small doses. Take half a teaspoonful an hour apart. Begin taking this in the afternoon, about three or four o'clock. Take until about eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
16. Then apply - that same evening, you see - hot Castor Oil Packs over the liver and the gall duct area, extending to the caecum; that is, the right side of the body. Use at least three thicknesses of flannel, saturated thoroughly - not pouring the oil on the cloths, but dipping in the oil and wringing into it, see? Apply these warm, not too hot, directly to the body. Cover sufficiently to prevent soiling of clothes or bed linens, using an oil cloth over same, and then apply the electric pad. Keep this on for an hour.
17. Discontinue the Castoria until morning. At eight o'clock begin and take the rest of the bottle, or until there is a full evacuation from same.
18. Then flush the system with two heaping teaspoonsful of Sal Hepatica in a glass of water.
19. After there has been a thorough cleansing of the system in the manner outlined, then begin with the osteopathic adjustments. Take these twice a week until at least fifteen have been taken.
20. As to the diet:
21. Eliminate most of the starches.
2602-1 Page 3
22. No hog meat at any time, save a little crisp breakfast bacon.
23. Very little sweets of any kind, save honey in the honeycomb - which may be taken of mornings with hot cakes or whole wheat toast.
24. DO take plenty of orange juice, plenty of cereals - but do not take these at the same meal, or even the same day.
25. Have at least one meal each day that includes a quantity of raw vegetables; such as cabbage, lettuce, celery, carrots, onions and the like. Tomatoes may be used in their season.
26. DO have plenty of vegetables above the ground; at least three of these to one below the ground. Have at least one leafy vegetable to every one of the pod vegetables taken.
27. Fish, fowl or lamb should be used as meats, if any meats at all are taken. Wild game, especially, is well.
28. No fried foods.
29. From the very beginning we would use once or twice a week, while at least the first eight or ten osteopathic treatments are being taken, an Atomidine douche for the vaginal condition and irritation. Use only a Fountain Syringe. The proportions would be a teaspoonful of Atomidine in a quart and a half of water, body-temperature - not too cold. Then following this, in the last water, use a Glyco-Thymoline douche - a tablespoonful to the quart and a half. Do NOT take these during the menstrual periods, for it would cause irritation.
30. Doing these, we find that we will soon eliminate headaches; and there WILL be the possibility then of conception, and the carrying of the period properly.
31. Ready for questions.
32. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (10/13/34 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.
