1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Has the body a growth or any abnormality of the brain to cause continual dizziness - extreme at times? (A) No. Rather that condition in the duodenum which causes pressure on the hypogastric plexus, and through this reflex - and the condition existing in the ganglia about which there are connections in this direction - does this cause the condition as appears in head. Hence that as has been given in the manipulation, and in the pad as should be worn continually by the body, to change this vibration and to relax osteopathically that of the directing connections in the nerve system, that direct the orifice of the duodenum, see? No growth. Rather the stricture there, or closing of the opening.
4. (Q) What causes a feeling of numbness now on both sides of her head? (A) The condition as given causes this numbness, by the retarded circulation.
5. (Q) Does this also cause the pressure as of intense weight in head, eyes, and antrums of face? (A) When the circulation is hindered through these portions, by this pressure as is seen, this causes the heaviness and the weight, and the inability of the body to keep its equilibrium at such times. The pressure from same MIGHT produce a stricture in the brain forces, but not at present. None there. No indication. Only the pressure as is caused there by this retarding of the nerve supply in the portion around about this center. Hence the diffused - or the action of same on both sides of face, rather than pulling from one, for it's circular in its condition there.
6. (Q) When head rests upon pillow in a certain way she becomes more dizzy and sick. Why is this? (A) More pressure brought to bear on this same directing nerve center, see? This condition may be traced out by the

osteopath that would follow the nerve line down the cerebrospinal column to the 8th and 9th dorsal, see? for at each juncture where the sympathetic, the cerebrospinal, and the reflexes from the hypogastric connect, these centers show how that the pressure on same given more pressure to the head, and to the sides of the head - for they direct the muscle reaction from the nerve system to the sides of the face and head. Hence, when pressure is brought to bear on one side of head - as is resting, or in one position, where this is cut off - then the pressure becomes severe on the other side, producing more dizziness.
7. (Q) Sometimes acute dizziness strikes her at the back of the neck, and everything whirls; and her stomach is nauseated, and nerves in a state of shock. What is the cause - and remedy? (A) The relaxation osteopathically is the remedy. The cause - the inability of this portion to contract in normalcy to that pressure as produced in hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus.
8. (Q) What is condition of heart? (A) Very good - considering how the taxation of same is assisted or caused to not receive its full and proper nerve reaction along this same line.
9. (Q) Has she any growth, cancer, or ulcers in stomach, liver or spleen? (A) The ORIFICE in the lower portion of stomach has CONTRACTED to that degree where these conditions are apparent. The treatment for same is that vibration set in the system, and by the relaxing of same in the osteopathic manner that will DILATE these conditions, see? Drink plenty of water also. Work same through the stomach - would be well.
10. (Q) Is there any trouble with appendix and kidneys? (A) The kidneys show the reflexes from disturbed condition produced in the hypogastric region. Also the liver, being disturbed by this condition, causes some STRAIN on kidneys - not organic disturbances, as we see.
11. (Q) What is the terrible disorder with intestines? Any growths in rectum or anywhere? (A) The condition as exists in the duodenum, and the effect of same on the mesenteric system causes the disorder throughout the whole intestinal system. We do not find growths in intestines at the present time. Naturally, with the strain that has been caused, we find that the colon is not in its proper alignment. A falling in the descending shows that this strain is given in the whole descending colon. Hence the disturbance and the troubles as are

experienced at times by the body. These are reflex conditions produced by that above, see?
12. (Q) Why can she never evacuate the bowels without large doses of physics? Why is she never relieved of fullness afterward? (A) The same condition as just given, see?
13. (Q) What is the abnormal condition of the stomach? (A) That as given. The orifice in the duodenum shows stricture, or a plethora condition, so that the orifice is CLOSED at times. Hence the disturbance in intestinal system, and the pressure as created in the head, see? This same condition may cause or produce ulcerations, were the foods allowed to lie in stomach too long. Hence the necessity of evacuations, or emptying of the stomach, or the creating of salines to such an extent as to pass same through, and the PRESSURE is caused by same, upsetting or destroying the normal activity of all the digestive system. The relief, as has been given, is in this applying of any of those conditions that will relax. Hot castor oil packs would be well to be used before or after the manipulations are given, see? These will also assist the body in RELAXING, for the proper digestion and for the proper action and passivity of the conditions in the system. We are through with this reading.
