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, [3454].
3. As we find, conditions are serious with this body. There are days when the body feels very good, yet the activities through the body, by the strain and pressures that have been put upon the heart, have caused such dilations to the thrombose area and to the heart itself that now there are organic conditions.
4. Hence quiet and rest is needed, but most of all there needs to be reduced the plethoric condition existent in the transverse and descending colon.
5. About ten days apart, we would have given scientifically - very positively but gently - several colonic irrigations; provided great care is taken that the strain does not overtax the body. This may be done only scientifically, by keeping the body in a perfectly relaxed condition, and by using only body-temperature water carrying soda and salt. Use a level tablespoonful of salt and a heaping teaspoonful of soda dissolved thoroughly in two gallons of water, to be used for the first cleansing solution. In the rinse waters, use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the gallon. Don't attempt to make a complete emptying of the colon in one colonic.
6. Do have the relaxing osteopathically after such colonics are given, preferably by those in Raleigh. These, with the removal of the engorging or plethoric conditions, will remove the strain on the heart. But it will not remove the possibilities of exercise, anxiety or taxation, overcrowding the heart again.
7. Do that.

8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Would you advise any change in doctors or residence to help improve my health? (A) As indicated, this would be done in Raleigh. It would be well to reside there during the periods of having these applications. Afterward you can change back to [...] if such activities are desired. But don't overtax self. Don't get overexcited. Do keep the colonic irrigations occasionally to keep down the pressure. Don't take too much of the heart stimulants. It may be necessary occasionally, to prevent flooding, so that it causes the blood flow through the arteries and veins. Massage is much better than drugs for same, but his has been begun and damage has already been done to the organs indicated. Do as given.
10. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self - (one for Dr. A. R. Tucker, osteopath, Raleigh, N.C.) Copy to Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing
