1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions, and to give the cause of existing conditions would be first to give much of the histology of those conditions as have existed in times back that now bring about the existent conditions. Then, we find these conditions existent in this body:
4. The condition at present produced in the blood supply by the poor eliminations as have long existed in the body, and through same has produced a combination, and complication, of distressing conditions to the functioning of organs. Hence the depression, and the dis-ease, as has existed in the organs from time to time. Much of this produced in times back by too much meat not well cooked for the body, and with this constantly producing in the system drosses that were not eliminated, we have toxins arising in system, producing then the various stages (these are given, not as all existent in one, but the various stages as have existed from time to time, which will be compiled into one in the end, see?). In this producing this toxin brought about troubles in the colon by impacts, also producing, by exposure, and by that condition in the blood, the condition of taxation in joint and in extremities, and across back, for the kidneys became involved in the condition. This not so SEVERE at the present, yet all of this condition goes to make up that as is to be dealt with, would the condition be relieved or corrected in this body.
5. In this condition, then, with toxins left in system, with the amount of tobacco used, this also produced, then, in the digestive system, those distressing conditions that produced something like the lumps, or masses, in the stomach proper, that did not pass off through the regular channels. This in

turn brought the distressing condition to the upper portion of the stomach, and ulcerations at times shown in the cardiac end of the stomach, see? The condition in the lower portion of stomach brought the condition of the combined form to the lower end of the digestive system, and with this the increased irritation in the colon, and the ulcerations and protuberances as shown in rectum at times, where the result of this condition following through the alimentary canal. The outdoor exercise, the open air, all went to assist, and the condition still remaining within system, and not reached by those various conditions applied, has brought about that combination of conditions and complications as exist at the present time, though many of those conditions accorded the system from time to time proved beneficial in part, yet never correcting the condition which caused same, which was the toxins from system aggravated by the diet as was taken in system. As these conditions progressed from time to time, certain portions of the cerebrospinal system naturally became involved. Lesions have formed along various portions, as is seen in the lower dorsal, in the lumbar region, and especially across the back and in the limbs, do we find the effect of these toxins, as show in the joint and marrow, as it were, of the various portions of body.
6. In the conditions as we find existent at the present:
7. In the blood stream we find the effects of those conditions as have existed from time to time, also that there are still toxins being created in system that does not keep the system in that way of replenishing, even though much improvement has been shown, and IS being shown in the body at the present time, through rebuilding cellular forces created in system, through blood stream and through the general rebuilding system.
8. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, as this:
9. Many of the centers in cerebrospinal and in the extremities, or in the structural portion of the body, through which nerve ganglions and lines, as it were, pass, show that, with lesions formed, many of these have become depressed, through the condition existent, as is seen in the sacral - this reflex from condition in the body, also from the muscular structure in same, as well as the lesions as formed.
10. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, brain forces are very good - very clear for one of the temperament, of the age, of the conditions as have been existent.
11. Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx, all show effect of DIS-use, and abuse, as well as of the toxic condition as has
3896-1 Page 3
existed, see?
12. The stomach in a much better condition than it has been in times back, though still shows something now in the pyloric end of the condition as existed in the cardiac end in times back, though not lacerated or ulcerated at the present; rather that as of the system attempting to overcome, and by rest, and by not so much food in system, has formed lobes, or enlargements, in the walls of the pyloric end of stomach, and in duodenum.
13. In the liver - not active as it should be.
14. Pancreas very good, for the strain under which it has labored.
15. Spleen much smaller than normal.
16. The intestinal system still shows those conditions as have existed, and do exist, as does the kidneys, from the overtaxed condition.
17. In the extremities, and in structural portion, still shows contraction, the inability of normal use of the system, see?
18. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, it will take care, attention, persistence, and consistent usage of all conditions as exist, have existed, to rebuild properly, with the age considered, that necessary for recuperation and correction in the body.
19. Then, we should first take those of sweats - warm time to take sweats, but TAKE SWEATS, to relax this body thoroughly, see? These may be taken either in cabinet, or in blanket, or by electrical boxes - that is, in box lined with electric lights, and the body closed in. Following this the body should be rubbed down well, see? and the adjustments, osteopathically given, following such sweats, see? This should be done at least once each week, see? for at least four to five weeks.
20. During this time no meats of any character are to be taken. Milk, eggs, and those of all the OIL the body is able to assimilate - olive oil, and white oil, or Usoline. All that the body will assimilate. Green vegetables, and the fruits. This will weaken the body, yet we must start eliminations in the normal way and form, see?
21. Then, when this has been carried out, and we find we have set up the correct adjustments, and the correct eliminations have been set up, then we would begin with high enemas, using the antiseptic of an alkaline nature in the water as is taken (using the Cascade elevator). These, as we will see, will cleanse the colon - will also, as we see, with the sweats and with the enemas, relieve the pressure as is shown on and in the kidneys.

22. For the condition in the rectum, use those properties as have been given for that condition as is seen has been existent is bettered at present, but will become again, by the RELAXING of the alimentary canal throughout.
23. Follow this condition, then, with the osteopath treatments still being given for four weeks more. Then we would give that which would be the correct thing for the further adjustments and corrections, though we find the body will feel better and nearer normal at that time.
24. We are through for the present.
