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, we have the body here.

3. As we find, the disturbances are of such natures that not sufficient attention is being given same.

4. These are complications, and one portion of the body at times works against the other.

5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2844].

6. First, structural portions of the body - as the face and along the spine - are in serious maladjustment.

7. With the efforts of a good orthopedic surgeon, we find there might be some help given as related to the condition in face or jaw. But this unbalancing in the face or jaw would necessarily come later, for the corrective forces osteopathically of the spine - and the reduction of the acidity - will put the body in better shape for operative measures; and these should NOT be performed until there is a much better condition in the blood stream.

8. For, those conditions in the spine are such that unless changes are brought about (and these we find might best be attended by an osteopath) they will gradually cause deterioration in soft portions of the bone. And these in the present are contributory causes to the activity in the body of so much acidity, or acid production in the digestive system.

9. This, of course - the acidity - is gradually destroying the activity of the linings of portions of the stomach, in the pyloric portions, and the duodenum in its assimilations of foods taken.

10. If there are the corrections gradually made, this will be materially aided with strappings put on by a good

osteopathic surgeon.

11. Irvin or Ober we would give as the better for this particular service.

12. The diet we would not change a great deal, though we WOULD take a few drops of Elixir of Lactated pepsin in the Milk of Bismuth that is taken to absorb the poisons and acids, see? This will have a better effect upon the conditions through the lower portion of the stomach and the duodenum. This will have to be given almost daily, or sometimes - if the dose is divided - twice daily. The dose would be five drops of the Pepsin to the teaspoonful of the Milk of Bismuth.

13. No specific change would we make in the diet, though DO try the raw milk - this will act better. Just the milk, not anything in it - but the raw milk, not pasteurized; fresh from the cow when practical.

14. We would follow these suggestions for at least two to three weeks; then we may give further instructions, if there is the response to these applications.

15. Ready for questions.

16. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. C. W. Irvin OR Dr. Vincent Ober, Bankers Trust Bldg., Norfolk, Va. - Let us know which one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file (When you have followed these treatments for two or three weeks, let us know so we can make an appointment for a Check Physical Reading to give further instructions - this would be without additional cost to you.) u.)
