Time of Reading Unknown.
1. (?): You are now asleep and you will be able to tell us what we want to know. You have before you Mrs. [4776] who is in the room with you. She is before you now.
2. EC: Mrs. [4776]. Yes, she is here now.
3. (?): Now I want you to go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
4. EC: We have the whole system here. We have the whole system very good. We find along the lower part of the spine lesions that are producing a soreness, inflammation through the pelvis and through the small of the back here, along in the lumbar. We find also, it dilates up here to the head, through the sympathetics and through the cervicals to the head which produces pains along the back of the head, just occasionally. Also, to the top of the head, right on top is where it aches, through the cervical, cerebellum.
5. (Q) What other conditions do you find? (A) We have an abnormal condition of the cortex of the kidneys, too; fatty portions in themselves producing the condition we have here. We have a normal blood supply, the temperature is just below normal in itself. The pulse rate, the heart beat, the action of the heart is good - 79 - respirations are good and the lungs are full. Breath does not go to bottom of the lung, you see.
6. (Q) Is there any organic heart trouble? (A) From here we have the heart flow of the blood pulsation to the system and we have a lesion in the pelvis or at the lumbar which produces the abnormal temperature of the body through the hepatics, or from the trunk of the body - that is inside you see. Through the hepatics governs the heart, in the lung where the blood is carried back and aired for the refreshment of the whole system and the lesion here along the spine is from the trouble of the kidney, which produces to the hepatics an abnormal heat of the body. The pulsation of the body is caused here, that is above normal from the heat of the body. When you have a low temperature you have a faster pulse in the body, in the structure of this body. The lesion along the lumbar produces the condition to the kidney, produces a faster circulation, in
4776-1 Page 2
and out to the right of the heart. Produces this just at times here, a filling full until it flows faster to the lung where it does not take the air in fast enough to throw it out from it. The cause of the hepatic circulation produces a fullness or fast pulsation in the body.
7. (Q) Any trouble with the spine? (A) Lesions at the lumbar. We have reflex from that to the cervical. This do not produce a lesion, except a stretchy or tightening of the muscle at the fifth cervical.
8. (Q) In the waste in the monthly period, any excess of that and what is the cause? (A) Lesion from the cortex of the kidney here supplying the force here to both ovaries, situated one on either side, from the system, from the circulation produces through the hepatics and causes the amount of matter thrown off or gathered in by discharge through the womb. If it was not thrown off there we would have heart trouble. This is nature's waste for woman.
9. (Q) Now you find that she is fleshy. Are there any methods from which that would be a restive [arrested?] from the increase. (A) Take more starch and salt. This will decrease it. Watch the circulation from what we have in it. We have a normal body here in Mrs. [4776], we have a normal - 897/8 - pulsation 72, respiration 18 to 20, according to the excitement or nervous temperament of the body, which is in a normal condition. The fleshy portion of the body increases hepatic circulation producing an abnormal pulse at times to the heart, pains around here more just above than in the heart itself, through the lack of the breathing or filling out of the lung and carry off the matter which in turn, is carried back in the hepatics. We have here a pretoise [avoirdupois?] in the system or the digestion of it, or the peptone, which produces fat to the system or in the tissue, into the body itself. We have a fatty portion around the kidney, we have fat on the body on the frame itself. We have the effect produced from what we gather from the trunk, from the system here carried out, thrown out through the blood. Starches in the system or salt tends to drive this back and make a discharge of the excess, to decrease this but with an excess or flow of blood from the hepatics produces a weakness, more palpitation of the heart. The lesion along the spine must be removed, rub it away with the hands, get in deep along there. All along the spine we will find more or less soreness from
4776-1 Page 3
the sympathetics, remove this from along there and this will remove the troubles. It will remove the trouble from the hepatics, from the discharge from the womb.
10. (Q) Is the bones of the spine shattered in any way or just the lesion there? (A) No, it is not shattered, it has been curved around here from pressure.
11. (Q) Well, what other treatment would you suggest to relieve all these conditions? (A) Manipulation along the spine will remove it. Manipulation with your hand.
12. (Q) Any operation necessary? (A) The spine is made of cartilage or joints or hinges from every one to allow the motions or movements of the body. We have there at the lesions soreness produced from the lesions along the spine, manipulation of the hand will remove this. We have at the lower end of the spine, where the curve is, the hinge is broken off but not clear through. The manipulation of the hands along the spine will tend to draw this around here. All the operation will be to put it back with your hands.
