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, [3156].
3. As we find, there are conditions that disturb the physical, the mental, and the soul entity. This we find is a prenatal condition; and must be met by the body as well as by those responsible for the body.
4. It should not be delegated too oft, then, to someone else to administer those influences in the body-physical or mental for the correction of the disturbance.
5. We find that there is a lesion in the lacteal duct area affecting the activities of the pineal gland; causing those periods of incoordination at the 1st and 2nd cervical, causing spasmodic reaction to the mental body or those losses of hold on self, or the control of the rational body-mind.
6. For one hour each day, for at least three days in succession, we would apply the hot Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct and liver area. Use three thicknesses of flannel preferably old flannel saturated with Castor Oil. Apply directly to the body, covering with an oil cloth to prevent soiling linens, and then apply an electric pad. Apply these as hot as can be well stood by the body.
7. On the evening of the third day following the 3rd pack take internally an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil; that is a tablespoonful of each.
8. Then have, the next day, an osteopathic adjustment; coordinating the 1st, 2nd, 3rd cervical, the 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 9th dorsal and then the lumbar axis.
9. Do these consistently.
10. Rest from all applications for five days then repeat

this whole procedure. First the series of all packs followed by the combination of Oils taken internally and then the osteopathic treatment.
11. Rest five days then repeat, and so on.
12. In the food keep away from too much starches.
13. Keep the mental suggestions to the body that there will be no recurrent condition of the spasms.
14. Do these and we will find we will bring better conditions for this body.
15. With the beginning of these treatments, should there occur during the day one of the spasms, put a good big pinch of dry salt on the tongue - no water but the dry salt. This will relax the body quickly, and should - with these treatments - bring the body out of such lapses.
16. The mental suggestions had better be made by the parents as the body loses consciousness in sleep.
17. We will bring help if there is persistence and if, in the lives of the mother and father, there is consistent living of that they pray for.
18. The rest of the body we find responding very well. Brain reflexes are good. At times, as indicated, there are some reflexes to the organs of the sensory system; the eyes hurt the body, the hearing is not so keen after some of these spasms.
19. DO NOT give sedatives to the body, if it is at all possible to keep from it.
20. Do that.
21. We are through with this reading. Two copies to grandmother (one to Osteopath, let us know which one you choose) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (See sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.)
