Time of Reading 12:20 P. M. ..., Ohio.
1. DEK: Now you will have before you the body of [4657] and his surroundings and associates at the ... Ohio. When you have located this body, you will go over same carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the abnormal conditions you find at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions and the treatment and cure and relief of this body. You will answer the questions about his mental and material associations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now as respecting the physical conditions we find there are those conditions existent that cause some uneasiness to the mental forces of body and affect the physical in a way and manner as to cause distresses at times. This has to do rather with the manner in which eliminations are active in the system and resultant conditions from disturbances produced by same. These then are conditions as we find them with this body, [4657] we are speaking of.
3. First, in the blood supply. This is in some respects very good although abnormal in respecting the pressure. The elements or constituents of various portions or divisions of the blood as would be seen necessarily from a condition where the eliminations in their active forces are affected by conditions existent in physical force. These have to do especially with conditions as are produced regarding heart's action. Though we do not find any organic disturbances or other than disturbances with the heart's activities, the pressure as is caused IN circulation produced rather from this in application or katabolism of the body. Then with the assimilations carried as is seen by the functioning of the liver, natural results are disturbances in these portions of the body. In the nerve system, this naturally has the resultant effect of producing an easily over-taxed condition in the nerve forces of body; easily irritated at times and easily wearied at times. Yet others there are seen when the very vitality is burned up with energy of the body, by the consistent force of condition is greater

disturbance with the circulation.
4. In special centers we find those of the fourth dorsal ganglia of the third and fourth lumbar ganglia show especial disturbance. These in return with the effects as produced in a disturbed circulation and hindered elimination show the effects sympathetically through the activity of kidneys and bladder. In the functioning of organs themselves, brain forces very good. One of exceptional mental and executive abilities, discriminating exceedingly especially as to impelling forces and a leader naturally. The activity of the sensory organisms are disturbed sympathetically though not in an organic manner as to be over-active though as is seen in the auditory and the second and third nerve centers, these show effect in the organs thus governed. Bronchials, throat, lungs, only sympathetic disturbances. Heart's action disturbed through the manner and way and given. The digestive system operating chiefly through that as has been applied for assistance toward digestive forces in the body.
5. As to the disturbances in organs, the liver, the pancreas, these show the greater effect of a disturbance, not that the body ill to the degree that it is not able to function, but rather on the edge of often being wearied and worn out with the wear and tear after activities produced on a disturbed physical organism.
6. Organs of digestion as related to the hypatic [hepatic] circulation show sympathetic disturbances as to the other portions of the body. To meet the physical needs of the conditions, we would not continue with some of those specifics as have been used for the relaxing or for the hypnosis influence produced upon nerve centers and their reflexes. Rather would we go to the seat of the trouble, making such corrections in the cerebrospinal system where nerve ends are under pressure from conditions long-existent. Releasing such pressure, the impulses in the heart's action through the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus. Through the effect as is produced from pressure in the 9th dorsal region to the activity of pancreas proper, this in conjunction with properties that taken in system will create the correct vibration and with the added diet or the better assimilation, we would bring about more nearer the normal forces for the body under the present existent forces. Take these then:
7. First, have the corrections made osteopathically in the cerebrospinal system. Necessary that at least fifteen minutes be made or fifteen such treatments and at least fifteen such general treatments, the adjustments being made at every second or third treatment. These as medicinal

properties take, first, that of: Sarsaparilla Root..................2 ounce, Yellow Dock Root...................2 ounce, Burdock Root.......................2 ounce, Calisaya Bark......................2 ounce, Peruvian Bark......................1 ounce. Reduce this by simmering when added to one gallon of rain water, to one quart. Strain while warm and add three drams balsam of toulou [tolu]. Cut in two ounces grain alcohol, adding to this three minimums tincture capsici. Then add to the solution. Shake the solution together before the dosage is taken. The dose to be taken, two spoonsful four times each day, taken before meals.
8. Do not eat meats and eat more of vegetable forces that grow ABOVE rather than below the ground. Those that carry more of iodine, iron and such. These will bring about when the whole properties are taken and the adjustments and the treatments are taken, the near normal forces for this body, [4657].
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How often should the treatments be taken? (A) Every other day and after other treatment, adjustments made.
11. (Q) Are there any abrasions on the body? (A) As seen from the character of the condition, these are disturbances as produced by non-normal eliminations in the system.
12. (Q) Can the body continue his work and take these treatments at the same time? (A) He can continue his work and take treatments at the same time. This for the mental abilities and forces of the body would really be the better way, under the present organs of existent conditions. Well when the body has finished such treatments and the prescriptions as given, that a rest of five or ten days be had. Continue the work while treatments are being given. This as may be set does not sound consistent with that ordinarily given. Natural for the mental forces - these conditions must be considered in the individual existent conditions.
13. (Q) How can [4657] improve his standing with the new owners of the business? (A) By the personal application of that in self, that shows the abilities as have been pointed out as an executive and as a discriminator between that which is and that which adds to the efficiency of the business and associates.

14. (Q) What will be the effect on this body of the new executive who is now being placed in charge of the manufacturing division of the business? (A) These should work very well together.
15. (Q) What new merchandise can this plant build so that [4657] can make a better showing for manufacturing profits? (A) Many of those that are being or have been considered by [4657] which include many smaller outside things and some larger also.
16. (Q) Is there any merchandise now being sold by Graybar Co. or General Electric that we could accept contracts for [4657] to build? (A) After conditions and adjustments have been made in and about the factory with the new changes, many as in the various household conditions as are put out or used by these: boards, washers, liners and such.
17. (Q) Can David E. Kahn, as associate of [4657] in the New York office, assist Mr. [4657] in getting this new business? (A) Certainly.
18. (Q) When would be the time as to months when this new business should be sought? (A) After the third of December.
19. (Q) What will happen before Dec. 3rd on general business conditions? (A) General business conditions after they are adjusting themselves in the latter portion of the year will find greater impetus than even as has been through the last twelve months. General conditions; some specific conditions not so well, that as pertaining especially to those that have to do with the utilities while those that have to do with specifics in many other lines but very much bettered.
20. (Q) Will the ... Co. be successful under [4657]'s management? (A) It should be very successful under [4657]'s management; efficient and only needs that confidence in self as is desired in others.
21. We are through for the present.
