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, [2956].
3. As we find, much might be given respecting disturbing conditions. For, these are not good.
4. There has been existing for a long period both pathological and psychological disturbances. But the abilities of the body, and the care and environs (though it isn't in these environs in the present) have been that which has kept the body in as good conditions as it is in the present.
5. The general weaknesses, the inability of creating better blood supply, keep many of the organs in rather an overactive state; and yet in some respects this has been better for the body.
6. As we find, those tendencies for accumulations at times, or at varied times it comes and goes, of the lymph pockets or lymph accumulations, draw upon the vitality. On the other hand, the continued raising, or causing of the circulation to be rather above the normal, has kept many of these natures of disturbances in the lymph from producing too great a distress to the body.
7. If the body would put itself under the care of Dr. Marion Dick in Philadelphia for some six weeks - and if the treatments were given with the gentle, not hard corrections, as may be made by the osteopathic stimulation to the centers along the spine; an sufficient of the colonics given, gently, not attempting to reduce this plethora or to correct the tendencies for a prolapsus in a portion of the colon - we might rid the body of the necessity of taking those stimulants and those sedatives that are at times a part of the needs of the body. For, these are overworking the central circulation.

8. We may aid the body-building (with the cleansing of the body, and to give greater strength) by the use of the Infra-Red Ray. This should be given from thirty minutes to seventy-five to eight minutes each day, almost during the whole period of these treatments - save when there is a great deal of weariness, or when there are the sudden changes in the circulation.
9. And in giving the colonics, be careful about the heart's activity; and do use the soda and salt in the water to be injected, in the proportions of a tablespoonful of the salt and a heaping teaspoonful of soda to the gallon and a half of water used. And use the water body temperature. Also use the Glyco-Thymoline, or that of such natures, in the rinse water.
10. Don't have the colonics too close together, but do rid the system of the mucous; and use this as a means of doing so, by giving a gentle massage of the abdomen during the time, to dilate or exercise portions of the prolapsus in the ascending colon.
11. In the matter of the diet - have beef juice, liver and liver extract, and the whole grain cereals as purifiers and in blood building; as carrots, beets especially and beet tops. These should be portions of the diet often. Change these as to their preparation, so as not to weary the body with the same diet, or change in the manner in which they would be prepared, and with other vegetables.
12. Keep in the sunshine as often as practical.
13. And these as we find would bring better conditions for this body.
14. The activities of the Infra-Red are to stimulate the circulation to those structural parts of the body, to loosen - as it were - or to force a better form of circulation in not only the covering of the exterior but interior portions of the bones - as in the ribs, as in the hips and thigh, as in the shoulder and shoulder blades. Hence during those periods even when the light is being given, it would be well for this to be gently massaged.
15. And when the colonics and the fume Baths are given, do use - following the Fume Baths with Witchhazel Fumes - the massage with Peanut Oil; for this absorbed by the body will be a stimuli to the muscular and tendon forces at the ends and in the joints of the bones that so oft cause an aching for the body.
16. Do that.
17. Ready for questions.
18. We are through for the present.
