Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Delaware.
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. As we find here, there is poor coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system. Thus we have periods of very high emotional reactions. These cause a great deal of distress, so that the body may almost at any time take on the feeling of a disturbance that he may be acquainted with or even hear of. In the areas of the coccyx, in the 9th dorsal and in the 3rd cervical specifically, this incoordination exists.
3. At least once a week we would have a perfect relaxation and a Swedish massage. This would include a Fume Bath or Sweat Cabinet in which the body would inhale all of the steam; not very long but so that there are the reactions and the expanding of the whole lung area. This would be followed by a good massage. This should be a sweat as in a steam room, and not just a Fume Bath.
4. Then twice each week have an osteopathic relaxation; not so much a stimulating but a relaxing. There will be corrections needed in the coccyx end of spine, in the 9th dorsal and in the 3rd cervical. Of course, relax the 1st and 3rd cervical, but the corrections should be in the areas indicated. Take time to give these treatments, relaxing the body thoroughly.
5. Take internally about twice each week a teaspoonful of Acigest in a full glass of raw milk. Stir it thoroughly and take it at the evening meal, say on Tuesdays and Fridays.
6. Once each week, say possibly on Wednesday or in the middle of the week's treatment, eat a whole wheat cracker - at the noon meal - thinly spread with Calcios.
7. Do these and we will make better conditions with this

body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is the pain around heart organic or functional? Remedy? (A) Purely functional; rather sympathetic. That's why in taking the sweats there should not be the staying in the steam too long, or the breathing of the steam into the lungs, especially at first. But have the whole body in the steam, including the head (and not the head sticking out of the Sweat Cabinet) - only a few minutes in the beginning.
10. (Q) What causes hands and feet to easily become numb? (A) This is the slowed circulation. That's why we should have both the Swedish massage and adjustments to stimulate circulation, while the properties internally are to increase the ability of digestion and make for better distribution of blood supply.
11. (Q) Why does every minor problem confronted by body bring forth pounding heart, quickened pulse, trembling voice, etc.? (A) As indicated, the lack of coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. Do these things indicated and we will find better conditions. Be persistent and consistent. In the diet keep well balanced, but include often raw vegetables of all natures preparing same with gelatin often. Have some of these every day; lettuce, celery, water cress, all characters of raw vegetables that may be taken; not necessarily all at once but some of these each day. They may be taken with oil or with salad dressing or prepared in the gelatin. Do that.
