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, [3437].
3. As we find, there are disturbances that prevent the normal reactions with this body. These are very definite and have a definite source.
4. These come from two injuries to the body; one first that occurred with the end of the spine - and it will be noted that it is still tender at times, the coccyx end of the spine. The other injury was at the 2nd cervical.
5. From these we have definite lesions formed that cause spasmodic reactions during periods of activity in the assimilating system, or from the areas in the upper or general lacteal duct.
6. These are the causes of the disturbances.
7. The brain forces have not been injured. Do not give the body an overdose of any form of sedative. Very small doses of belladonna under the direction of a physician may be given, if there are any more severe attacks. For these lesions have been of such a length of period that corrections will necessarily have to be made, and these may cause reflexes such as to produce (the corrections) one or two violent reactions - though not as severe as some, provided sweets are kept from the body.
8. In making the applications - first begin with the applying of hot Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct area; that is, the whole right side, from rib to the caecum area, extending at least half way over the abdomen. Do this for an hour each day for at least five days in succession. Each time when removing the Pack, (and preferably give these when the body rests or sleeps) sponge off with a weak soda water. Then massage the area gently with Cocoa Butter.

9. After the five days of applying the Packs, begin with corrections osteopathically made; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th cervicals, and in the coccyx and sacral end of spine. Have at least four or five of these made, about four days apart. Let one such as Irvin make these adjustments. This will require the relaxing and then the making of adjustments.
10. If there is the reaction of an attack, give a small quantity of belladonna (under the physician's direction) and then a good eliminant.
11. After a period of two or three of these applications - that is, series - these should correct and make normal conditions for the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Do you mean begin the osteopathic treatments after the five days of using the Castor Oil Packs? (A) As indicated, give the Oil Packs for an hour each day for five days. These should be kept warm by changing, rather than by using an electric pad; and hot cloths may be kept over same to hold the heat and to make for absorption of the oils by the body.
14. (Q) Can the baby see? (A) The baby can see.
15. (Q) What was the nature of the injuries, and when did they occur? (A) The first one was at the end of the spine. The other one came later, when the body in some manner was jerked - or the effect was to jerk the cervical areas.
16. (Q) If treatments are carefully followed, is it indicated how long it will be before the baby can be normal? (A) As just indicated. Do that, and we will have near normal conditions for this body.
