Time of Reading 3:35 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Indiana.
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, [3523].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions that are preventing the better physical functionings. These are rather a complication of disturbances, yet with the correction of the sources of the disturbance we should bring a much better physical condition to the body.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body:
5. The blood supply indicates that there has long been a disturbance in the liver and gall duct area. Hence toxic conditions exist that have tended to add to the weight of the body or there is a glandular reaction from the sources or natures of the suppressions and subluxations existent in the lumbar, the sacral, as well as the upper portion of the dorsals.
6. These slow up the actions, and we have sediments in the gall duct areas rather than so much of a gall bladder disturbance. Thus we have also, from the same pressures, a slowing of the return circulation in the lower limbs. This has tended to produce an engorging of the veins, or varicose veins along on the inside and on portions of the limbs.
7. The feet give the body a great deal of trouble when on them, and shortness of breath from the heaviness of body and the activities, and these produce aggravations to the respiratory system and make for an irregularity in the activities of the heart.
8. In making corrections, as we find:
9. We would apply hot Castor Oil Packs for an hour each day, three days in succession each week - the same three days
3523-1 Page 2
each week. Use three to four thicknesses of flannel saturated with the Castor Oil, over the liver and gall duct area, covering with protective cloths - a piece of oil cloth, and then applying the electric pad.
10. After each pack is removed, sponge off the area with soda water.
11. At the end of the third day, take internally a tablespoonful of Olive Oil.
12. At the end of the second series of the Packs, take two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.
13. Then begin (after the second series of the Packs) with osteopathic adjustments, with special reference to subluxations existing in the upper dorsal, the 9th and 10th dorsal and then stimulate the circulation through the lower dorsal and lumbars; to be sure, coordinating all through the stimulation to the 3rd cervical and the nerves and pressures that would be produced through the 1st and 2nd cervicals, the head and neck.
14. Do begin taking pure grape juice (as Welch's), two ounces of the grape juice and one ounce of plain water about thirty minutes before each meal and at bedtime.
15. It will be found that this will reduce the desire for foods.
16. Don't take pastries or pies, cake or such things, and very little or no sweets.
17. After these have been taken in this manner for several weeks, keeping up the osteopathic adjustments in the 1st series until at least fifteen have been taken, also the Packs for the gall duct area, then we would leave off the treatments for two or three weeks.
18. Then have the second series, and during the second series of osteopathic adjustments (not before) attempt to empty the gall duct osteopathically.
19. Over the areas of the varicose veins we would apply the Mullein stupes. If the dried Mullein is used, this may be used in a very strong Mullein water. Do not attempt to have these veins removed by surgery. For, when these have been reduced by the activities of the osteopathic adjustments, later - when Spring comes - there may be used the mullein Tea - made from the fresh tender leaves of the Mullein that will be very helpful in this respect; keeping up the Mullein stupes, however, about once a week along on the varicose veins.
20. Do use an equal combination of Olive Oil (heated) and Tincture of Myrrh to massage in knees, limbs and feet, right after these have been bathed in hot water. Massage these oils well into them.

21. Do these and we will find improvements for this body.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Why can't I sleep at night? (A) By removing the toxic conditions and pressures in the heart area.
24. (Q) Above all, what can I do for this itching or sticking sensation I have on my privates for months at a time? (A) This will be relieved by those properties that have been taken and that will be taken - especially the Mullein Tea, when this can be made from the fresh Mullein. Use douches of Glyco-Thymoline - this would be two tablespoonsful to a quart of water body temperature; not cold, not hot, but body temperature. Use only a fountain syringe.
25. (Q) What can I do about the swelling of limbs in daytime and face and heart areas at night? (A) As indicated, the circulation.
26. (Q) What causes the spot of blood on eyes? (A) The unbalanced circulation, and with these adjustments and treatments, by the second series this should disappear.
27. (Q) Any local application for the itching? (A) Glyco-Thymoline would be the best, or DDD may be used at times if this gives greater distress. But with the changing in the diet and with the reduction of those pressures, the body should be better. There will be periods of relapse, to be sure, but use the douches and the applications indicated - and these will aid. Do as given.
28. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self - (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.)
