1. GD: 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 questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3673].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions preventing the better physical functioning in this body, and these arise from pressures that have long existed in the body. Thus these may not be eliminated in a few weeks. For the condition has been a gradual development from pressures that exist in the cerebrospinal system.
4. Thus there has been caused an incoordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system, as well as upsetting the equilibrium between the eliminating channels of the body. Thus activities of glands in the liver and gall duct area are affected because of incoordination of circulation between liver and kidneys and the reflexes of sympathetic system that cause those conditions to give expression through the activities of the sensory system - the drooling that is experienced at times, the manner in which the salivary glands secrete. The eruptions that are a part of the conditions in the eliminations are the result of these conditions in the body.
5. These, then, will require mechanical applications, or mechano-therapy as may be administered by an osteopath, as well as the creating of a balance in chemical forces that are active not only through the central blood and nerve supply - as brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys - but the activity in glands controlled by the combination of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve reflexes by impulses received by the body. For as indicated, in the mental activities, "don't - don't - don't" to the body represents, "I will - I will - I will." And we have rebellious forces in the reflexes to brain forces.

6. The subluxations, which have long existed, are indicated in the coccyx - at the end of the lumbar, more than at the end of the coccyx segments. There the conditions cause pressures which deflect the flow of circulation through the lymph and the activity to the glands that aid in assimilation and eliminations.
7. Thus fats of all kinds shall be eliminated from the body's diet. Have a great deal of raw foods in the diet - fruits and vegetables.
8. Here, one good eliminant for this body would be to go on the apple diet - at least every three months; that is, eat nothing for three days except raw apples, preferably the Jonathan variety or a kindred variety. Follow this with at least two to three teaspoonsful of Olive Oil; that is, after the three days. This is to change the activity through the whole alimentary canal.
9. Also as those corrections are made osteopathically in the coccyx, the sacral, 9th dorsal, 3rd and 2nd dorsal, 3rd cervical, 1st and 2nd cervical, it would be well that these be made rather in series - about six treatments and then a rest period from these of two to three weeks, and then another period of six to twelve treatments in the second series. Then another rest, and then another application of the same corrective forces.
10. And throughout these periods, but not when there is damp weather, take this combination for the general eliminations, prepared in this manner: Sulphur.................1 level tablespoonful, Rochelle Salts..........1 level tablespoonful, Cream of Tartar.........1 level tablespoonful. Mix these thoroughly, best by being crushed with a mortise and pestle, so that they are blended thoroughly. Every day take a level teaspoonful of the mixture, either in water or dry. Do this regularly, except in damp weather.
11. Do these things, being mindful of the diet. Of course, the diet is not to consist wholly of raw vegetables and fruits, though these are to be taken in more abundance than ordinarily. Fish, fowl and lamb may be taken as meats. None of these should ever be fried. For this body, use at least three vegetables above the ground to one below the ground.
12. Do these and we will bring better conditions for this body. [The following question and answer was left out of original copy.]

13. (Q) Would it be well to tell the body that she is an adopted child? (A) This will necessarily depend upon the reactions of the body, and as to whether or not from the general environs it is indicated that there are resentments. If this is done, then, it should be in the manner in which this may be the basic thought: that a mother, a father, may not choose one that may be born to them, except spiritually. In adoption, the choice may be spiritual and material.
14. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self - through Dr. [3211] - (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file
