1. LBC: 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 the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those physical conditions with this body that cause the distress through the physical functioning of the body. These are of rather the subtle nature, considering the results or effects of conditions in the body. Hence we find the greater portion of that as has been applied for relief of body has been applied to the effects rather than to that causing or producing the disturbance in the body of [4485] we are speaking of.
4. These are the conditions as we find them. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows the effect of the disturbed circulation, both as to nerve supply to portions of body and of the capillary or return circulation, or to the trunk portion of body from extremities. In the manner this is shown in blood supply is the lack of eliminations being carried on in the perfect manner. Hence drosses or ashes, as it were, of used forces in the system are shown in various portions of the body, clogging up the eliminating centers through the action of quantity, as it were, thrown into the system when these are forced through their eliminating channels.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find shows the effect of being disturbed also, and there arises times when this becomes almost acute, from the effect rather than the direct cause of disturbance - for with nerve ends in various portions of the body becoming so irritated by the inflammation set up by the poor elimination, the body suffers from swelling, and from the effect OF the poisons left in the centers. This is seen most in the lower limbs, but is felt also in the trunk portion of body, and affects sympathetically those conditions as are producing distresses in the mesenteric and in the hepatic circulation.

7. IN THE PHYSICAL FUNCTIONING OF THE BODY, brain forces are good, very active - though very one-lined [in] thought.
8. In the organs of the sensory system, these show the effect as impediments, rather than as distinct conditions in this portion of system.
9. The lungs, bronchials, larynx, are very good.
10. Digestive system affected, as is seen, sympathetically.
11. The condition then that produces the disturbance is found in the sacral and in the lower lumbar. Here we find lesions have been produced by an accident where the body was caught between two pressures. This did not cause much disturbance at the time, but the constant condition of irritation has caused a curvature in the coccyx, and also a lesion that affects directly the return flow of the nerve supply and of blood supply to the locomotaries. Hence we have this condition in the feet. The arches show their weakness, through the inability to sustain same with the poor circulation and poor amount of blood supply as is carried to this portion of the body. The disturbance reflexly, as given, causes distress in the region of the kidneys, and the inflammation as is produced there is from or caused where the generatory system has been involved in conditions. This [is] not the seat, not the cause; rather an effect as is produced by the other disturbances, and the COMBINATION of both makes the condition so subtle in this body.
12. To meet the needs, then, of the condition in this body, [4485] we are speaking of, we would first, osteopathically, correct those conditions in the coccyx, sacral, and lower lumbar. This will be found necessary to apply heat - wet heat - to the body, so it will be perfectly relaxed, before adjustments are made. Adjustments should be made osteopathically, for the muscular conditions, the nerve centers, shall be followed out, as well as the vertebrae themselves set aright.
13. Apply, after such treatments - after every other treatment - that of the ultra-Violet Ray, that we may CLARIFY the blood stream and electrify the nerve centers that are stimulated and corrected by the changes necessitated by the adjustments in the body. Follow these out, through the whole of the circulation, from the 4th lumbar downward, throughout that of the locomotory centers, through the limbs, and through the feet, with this manipulation.
14. Take internally those properties in Petrolagar, using that of the ALKALINE nature, taking at least two tablespoonfuls each day.

15. Do that, and we will find in six weeks the body near normal.
16. These corrections, as we find, would be WELL made by Lydic, near here.
17. We are through for the present.
