1. HLC: 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, we have the body here, [2810].
3. As we find, there are disturbing forces that prevent the better physical functioning. These have to do with the circulation between the lungs, the liver and the kidneys; and thus a form of fever - not rheumatic as yet, though unless measures are taken it may produce swelling in portions of the body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2810] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. The blood supply, as we find, shows a form of strep in same; that which is temperature-producing - from the very lack of the poisons or toxic forces being eliminated nominally, that are secreted by the liver and the kidneys, and the lungs, that should be eliminated through alimentary canal.
6. Portions of this arise from a hindrance in those areas along the spinal centers that aid in supplying nerve energy, or - as might be called - just sufficient to short circuit the activity of the electrical forces, or the vibratory forces, from the organs to or through the activity of the alimentary canal.
7. This produces, then, the sources of the temperature, - and it is gradually involving the organs more in their non-activity as to functioning, though there is no organic disturbance in the organs themselves.
8. This produces, then, this languidness, tiredness, sometimes nausea, the over or scant activity (for both occur) in kidney eliminations, and the tendencies for an uneasiness through the digestive forces.

9. The nerve forces of the body are involved, as indicated; not to such an extent that corrections osteopathically are necessary, or mechanical corrections; though these will aid, and a massage with those properties as will be indicated will be most beneficial - for the absorptions will be more effective than would other forms of vibration in this particular body at this time.
10. As to the functioning of the organs themselves - the greater involvement is in lack of proper eliminations.
11. Thus the shortness of breath, the lack of proper flow of impulse of nerve force, as well as the alterations in the blood flow through the lungs.
12. No organic disturbance there (in lungs). In the liver may be said to be the greater source. For, as the blood passes twice through this area in its return as well as in its flow from the heart to portions of the body, this has become torpid - and is the source of those disturbances between the upper and lower deeper circulation. It also has a plethoric tendency (the liver); not large, but tender over the area - if there is the pressure especially in the right lobe of same.
13. It is indicated also in the circulation between the liver and the kidneys that there is a hindrance.
14. These make for those weaknesses in the body.
15. In making the applications for beneficial conditions, - to be sure the effects as well as the disturbances themselves are to be taken into consideration:
16. We would first have prepared, and take, three capsules; each containing the following ingredients: Podophyllin..............1/2 grain, Leptandrin.................1 grain, Sanguinaria................1 grain. Give these one each evening until the three are taken.
17. Then begin with broken doses of Fletcher's Castoria; that is, about a quarter teaspoonful every half hour until there are at least three good flushes from same through the alimentary canal - even if it is necessary to continue giving this through a whole day or two days, see?
18. THEN give a heaping teaspoonful of Sal Hepatica in warm water, to flush the system.
19. In the meantime - at least once or twice a day, - massage the spine with grain alcohol. Cut in this Cocoa Butter, and massage especially over the area from between the shoulders to just between the hip bones. Massage this thoroughly on each side of the spine, not attempting to make

any corrections. This will reduce temperature. This will keep those activities with that which is the effective activity of the properties given internally, aiding them to correct the eliminations and create the proper flow of the bile, as well as the flow from the kidneys into the alimentary canal, as well as the activity of the kidneys themselves.
20. Drink plenty of water at all times.
21. Keep the body quiet - for at least another week or ten days. Not necessary that the body be in bed all the while, but to remain quiet as much as practical, lying down most of the time.
22. The activities from the removal of tonsils aided, but did not correct the sources of the disturbance - merely reducing the quantity of poisons being accumulated.
23. For the diet give those things that are easily assimilated - as of reinforced cereals, both cooked and dry.
24. No fruit should be taken in the beginning of these, though after there have been the activities of eliminations, fruits may be taken - as cooked apples, peaches, pears or the like (no raw apples), will be helpful for the body.
25. Chicken broths, chicken itself would be well for the body; not too much of rice but a little, or preferably use barley instead - this will be better for the body.
26. These, within two weeks, should bring near normal conditions for this body.
27. Ready for questions.
28. Do these things, and we will find bettered conditions. Be persistent. Once or twice a day give the rub. This would be on each side of the spine, first straight down, then up, and then on each side of the spine; dipping the fingers into the grain alcohol with the Cocoa Butter cut in same. Of course, there may be used only a twenty percent solution - that is, one part grain alcohol to twenty parts water, see? This rub would be in a circular motion, you see, from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, then along each side of the spine, and especially in the area from between the shoulders to that area across the sacral - or the area between the hips themselves, you see.
29. Do this - keeping the body quiet. Be sure the eliminations are kept well; and we will bring the better forces for this body.
