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, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functionings. While they have to do with the locomotion, especially in the lower limbs, we find that their sources arise from an unbalanced condition in the chemical forces, as well as from pressures that have deflected or slowed eliminations - especially to the lower portion of the body.
4. In the blood supply we find quite a variation in the vibrations, or in the rate of circulation through parts of the body. We also find toxic conditions in same; indicating either sources of infection or pressure, or both, to portions of the system.
5. We find in the nerve forces the sources, though causes are more from subluxations and pressures in muscular and tendon forces, or those tendencies towards a neuritic-arthritic disturbance.
6. Thus those pressures as related to the locomotory centers, as well as those indicated in portions of the colon, have to do with the disturbance - and the sources or causes of the arthritic tendencies.
7. These produce the pressure in the joints, as well as in the muscular forces of this body.
8. As to the organs' activities - all of these indicate the natures or forms of disturbance, though applications that have been made are beneficial, and these alter or change the processes at times.
9. Then, in making administrations for helpful conditions, we find that two procedures are open to the body; either of these, dependent upon the choice of the body, or the choice

of those in charge - or the physician in charge of the body.
10. But, in either case, necessity would call for the correcting mechanically (osteopathically) of those subluxations which exist in lumbar and sacral areas of the body, as well as the coordinating of the 9th dorsal and throughout the upper dorsal and cervical areas.
11. Then, we would either give the injections of the Bee Venom, under the direction of the physician, OR we would use the Epsom Salts Baths, and especially sitz baths and rubs and packs of same over those areas of the body where these disturbances cause pain in joints and limbs, especially. This would be the form of bath:
12. Use at least ten to twenty pounds of Epsom Salts to thirty gallons of water, as warm as the body can well stand, though not so warm as to cause disturbance to the heart's circulation. So, it would require that there be one in attendance at the times these were taken. And we would take them at least ten days apart, see, until at least three of them are taken.
13. Follow each Epsom Salts bath with a Peanut Oil rub, especially over the areas from the 9th dorsal to the soles of the feet, the limbs, the body and torso, and especially the abdominal area and the sacral and lumbar area. Massage all the body will absorb. And this should be gently, thoroughly massaged into the body, while it is still warm from the Salts bath, see?
14. We would also be very mindful in the diet to leave out salt and sugar. Not too much starches, nor too much of those foods that carry quantities of silicon, but small quantities - and this altered; as: Not raw apples, but cooked apples may be included. Pears, but cooked pears, may be included. Such as prunes, plums, all characters of fruits may be taken that are not raw in their nature. Whole grain cereals, plenty of raw vegetable juices, especially such as carrots, lettuce, celery and the like. These may be combined. Also oranges and lemons together may be taken, and grapefruit. These should be practically the only raw fruits taken, see?
15. These as we find, if followed, will give bettered conditions for this body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) What is the obstruction in the abdominal area, if any? (A) This is in the colon area. Thus the massages and the activities in the baths, and do occasionally have colonic irrigations - but these should be ONLY given by a professional, see?
18. (Q) Is this obstruction an impaction or tumor, or either?
2923-1 Page 3
(A) This is as an accumulation, or a plethoric condition in the colon.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (For the osteopathic corrections, we would refer you to: Dr. Geo. N. Coulter, 18 East 41st St., New York City. We'd appreciate your letting us know the results of your check-over by the physician, so we may have something with which to compare our information.)
