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, [4003].
3. As we find, there are many conditions about the body physically and mentally that might be said to be bordering on the ideal. To be sure there are disturbances, as there are with each and every physical manifestation in the material world of a mental and spiritual being or entity.
4. For the conditions in the foot resulting from an accident to the body, we would apply once to twice to three times a week (according to the circumstances and the better needs of the body) apply Epsom Salts Packs, using an almost saturated solution. When these Packs have cooled, apply again; that is, using two Packs on each day that they are used - or the evening that they are used. Then massage the limb and foot with cocoa butter. Do not break up the deposits of the scar tissue, or calcium deposits, more than can be regularly or naturally done by increasing the eliminations; that is, do not break up more of the scar tissue than can be eliminated from the body. These should be eliminated not only through the respiratory and perspiratory system but through the alimentary canal. After each period of using the Packs, massage the cocoa butter about the foot and gradually make those changes that will cause a better position of the structural portions of toe, the instep and the Achilles bursa. These are the areas that will need the change.
5. Some disturbances are indicated in the digestive forces of the body. These are from the lack of proper eliminations even though there are regularities. With the variations that occur from bodily exercise and the general changes indicated in the body, the eliminations need to be increased

from these angles. This may be done in no better manner than by having colonic irrigations occasionally and by including in the diet such things as figs, rhubarb and the like.
6. Hydrotherapy and physical exercise, combined with these, should bring the better conditions for the body. These are the manners in which the body, or any individual body, may keep better activities.
7. In the diet we would keep the correct balance between the acids and alkalines of the body. This may be done by the using of vegetables and grasses, raw foods and fruits.
8. The exercise that we would follow for this body would be the stretching much in the manner as the exercise of the cat or the panther, or that type of activity; stretching the muscular forces, not as strains but as to cause the tendons and muscles to be put into position for the formation of strength-building to the body.
9. Do these and we will make for better conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Should the corrections in the foot be made by an osteopath? (A) Be made by an orthopedic surgeon. If he is an osteopath it would be very well, but any good bone structural specialist would be good - though this treatment suggested here will receive more consideration and sympathy by those of the osteopathic school.
12. (Q) How may "classic" physical development be retained over the longest possible period of years, without sacrifice of health? (A) As indicated through the exercise and diet, and the character of exercise that follows closely the movements of the cat and its kind.
13. (Q) What causes this digestive upset? (A) Read that just indicated as to the lack of the proper associations of eliminations. Thus as indicated, have a few colonic irrigations and then set up better eliminations throughout the body-forces - as the accumulations or deposits are broken up and ready for eliminations from the system; else we will have them settling in other portions of the body.
