1. GC: 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 relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are conditions that cause distress at times in the physical forces of this body. These conditions are made up of what might be termed many minor conditions, and thus vary in the effect as is produced in the physical forces. Hence we find the disturbances are deep-seated, though not NECESSARILY by same being of that nature or disposition to produce those conditions that would be in the manner of permanently detrimental. However, as is seen, these conditions so weaken the physical resistance of the body, that, were the body exposed or to contract any condition that would attack a functional center, these might terminate in very detrimental conditions for the physical body.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them in this body, [4856] we are speaking of:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows rather an effect in the functioning of the organs, than of a condition of disturbance in its own self. While the condition and the disturbance is in the blood stream, and the effects of same in capillary circulation are seen at times, the CAUSE of this does not arise from within the action of the blood itself. Rather that of the blood ATTEMPTING to produce an equilibrium, and when the metabolism, or when the balance of the blood supply becomes so unbalanced, that disturbance is produced in an ORGAN by the absorption, or by the non-elimination from those centers the disturbance becomes more localized, and these are seen in their changing effects in nasal cavity, in lungs, in digestive system, in kidneys, though these do not always, or at all times, produce the disturbing condition or factor.
6. This, then, as we find, is an unbalanced condition. Not an elementary condition of the constituents of the blood supply. Hence not organic or functional. Rather functional

of the organs themselves.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this both good and bad, for we find there are the abilities in the entity to control self very properly. The body is UNUSUALLY balanced mentally, and the actions of the body in itself to care for the physical forces of the body have the tendency towards good. Hence the continual nagging conditions, yet never entirely very sick, see?
8. In the centers of the cerebrospinal we find rather those seats or causes of the conditions of the body. Hence we have the condition produced in the body. Rather a reflex from nerve inactivity, yet the sympathetic nerve system good. Only subluxations and reflexes from same in nerve plexuses produce the condition. These are seen in the lumbar (specific) and in the upper dorsal. Hence the irritations as are produced, and of the greater disturbing forces for this body, [4856], are in the lungs and nasal cavities, or rather would it be the excretions through the mucus producing tissue of throat, bronchials, and nasal, and the disturbing elements, particularly, in the functioning of the pelvic organs, as these do not always behave themselves normally, as is thought for by the body; though not an organic condition in the functioning of the organs themselves. These, we find, as given, rather a reflex condition, and not all times persistent even sufficient to produce other than a dull, laggard, inactive condition through the system. Hence slow, dull headaches at times, the forcing of self to activities; yet the MENTAL - when aroused - active sufficient to show that these are subjugations, and that the body is rather poisoning self though these sublimations, or subligations, in the cerebrospinal system and reflexes from same produce disturbing elements in the functioning of the body.
9. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions:
10. First we would, through deep manipulations, osteopathically given, correct those subluxations in the lumbar and in the upper dorsal regions. This should not require more than six to thirteen (6 to 13) treatments. The ADJUSTMENTS should only be made every OTHER treatment and the GENERAL treatment given every other treatment, see?
11. When these corrections have been made, prepare and take these as medicinal properties, to produce the correct vibrations throughout the physical forces of this body:
12. First we would prepare as the carrier, this:
13. To sixteen (16) ounces of distilled water, add eight (8) ounces Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the quantity. Strain while warm, and add
4856-1 Page 3
two (2) ounces of simple syrup - while warm, see? Then add: Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla...............2 ounces, Iodide of Potassium 10% solution............30 minims, Bromide of Potassium 10% solution...........15 minims. (Small quantities, but we only desire to have the active forces, which will be supplied with the other properties as are added to this solution.) Syrup of Horehound.........................1/2 ounce, Essence of Elder Flower....................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya............................1/2 ounce, Oil of Sassafras............................10 minims. Then cut two (2) ounces Balsam of Tolu in two (2) ounces of pure grain alcohol, and add to solution. The dose of this would be half teaspoonful four (4) times each day, before meals and before retiring, see? and eat the meals!
14. The body should be more REGULAR in its diet - not overloading the system at any time.
15. The diet should be cereals, nuts, fruits, rather than TOO MUCH of meats or green vegetables. Rather nuts and fruits, see? Soups of any meats may be taken. Shell fish especially good, and that as prepared with its own juices - that is, shell fish, for the iodine is necessary in the system as comes from same.
16. Do this, consistently, persistently.
17. Do not take medicinal properties until corrections are made. Begin the diet with the corrections.
18. We are through for the present.
