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 conditions as need correcting for the better functioning of the physical forces of this body. Many of these conditions are of the general condition, and in the system's attempt to centralize, localize, or to meet the needs of those conditions necessary for the better functioning bring distress to various portions of the body, and in this way cause distresses in acute attacks of conditions as relating to the functioning of the assimilating and of the eliminating system, giving distresses from same through various portions, where conditions show that the body needs being equalized, rather than to attempt to adjust one portion without taking into consideration the conditions as exist in the general system - for to give relief to one portion of the system - having reached the conditions as are existent in this body, Mrs. [4380] we are speaking of - we would find that to relieve one without taking this in consideration is to bring stress again on another portion of the body; for as we find in portions of the system (abdominal) where stresses were relieved, were only to bring about distress in another portion of the body, through not having equalized or brought collaboration of the functioning system.
4. Now, to meet the needs of these under the present conditions, and to bring about those forces as would best bring a normal force for the body, first would be to apply to the system those properties in medicinal form that would come near bringing the normal equalization, and to apply, osteopathically, those necessary vibrations set in motion by the manipulation of the body in such a way and manner as to relieve the tension in the nerve centers, as has been created throughout the cerebrospinal system, relaxing those

as are necessary to break up lesions, also to remove stress on adhesions in portions of the system - being careful during the same period of the diet, and of the correct and right amount of exercise, and of the general condition of the system, until we can reach that point wherein the system begins to adjust itself. Then we may meet the needs of these by specific conditions in the system, or by such changes as are necessary to meet the needs of the system's adjusting itself to the correct adjusting, and add to or take from properties as would be applied in system to bring about a correction of the conditions in the body, see?
5. Then, to meet these at present, we would begin at once with those general deep manipulations, osteopathically given, paying especial attention to those conditions as exist in the upper dorsal and in the lower lumbar and sacral, with enough of the muscular manipulation in trunk portion of body to exercise the liver and the organs of same to eliminate near normal - for, with the medicinal properties as should be taken, this would be necessary, for this to be assimilated and eliminated through its correct channels in the body.
6. Prepare this, then, to be taken during the period this manipulation is given, and be taken persistently, consistently, for through these means, or by the application of both of these, we will bring relief for this body. First we would take 8 ounces of Wild Cherry Bark. Put this in 1 gallon of distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 1 quart. Strain off. Then add 4 ounces of sugar, and reduce again by slow boiling to 1/2 the quantity. Then we would add this:
Syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound..............1 ounce, Elixir of Stillingia......................1/2 ounce, Elixir of Calisaya........................1/2 ounce, Tincture Yellow Dock Root.................1/2 ounce, Tincture Burdock Root.....................1/2 ounce, Iodide of Potassium, 10% solution..........30 minims, Bromide of Potassium, 10% solution.........30 minims, Tincture of Capsici.........................2 minims.
Add then 2 ounces pure grain alcohol, with 2 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in it. Shake solution well together before each dose is taken, which would be half teaspoonful 4 times each day.
7. Do not eat meats! Especially do not eat any hog meat. Rather gruels. Whole wheat flour should be used at all times. As much green vegetables as is possible to use. Do
4380-1 Page 3
not eat apples. Other fruits may be taken in moderation, especially grapefruit or orange juice of mornings. Eggs only taken as they may be coddled - not hard, nor too soft. Use beef JUICES, but not the beef itself. This would be made by the steaming process, see? Not over seasoned - any of the foods, yet sufficient to give the palatable condition, also to assimilate with the juices as are secreted in the system. Well that the alkaline Petrolagar be used as the form of the property to aid in the elimination through the system, though with the proper manipulation osteopathically - which should be at least every other day for at least twenty-eight (28) treatments - this will be found to be reduced gradually, the Petrolagar, see? with medicinal properties used properly.
8. After the forty (40) days of the full treatment, we would then give those conditions necessary for the changes in this body, Mrs. [4380].
9. We are through for the present.
