Time of Reading Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Michigan.

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 and relief of this body; answering the questions as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here [5023].

3. As we find, there ars disturbances preventing the better physical functioning of the body. The conditions existent in the present are more in that direction of exhaustion and weakness, or the resultant effects produced by an unusual type of nerve exhaustion.

4. These, as we find, are the sources or causes. Some time back there was a kick or an injury to the right side near the liver area, or a low stroke in the pit of the stomach that caused an accumulation in secretions in the liver area. These brought about nerve exhaustion to the body.

5. With the stimulations given through the period there was brought on amoebic dysentery. This caused, then, excess lymph circulation through the alimentary canal, in the attempt to alleviate by the excess leucocyte circulation through the area.

6. This has, in the main, been eliminated, yet results through the alimentary canal still exist.

7. Once each day, for a period of at least 4 to 5 days in succession, we would apply a Grape Poultice over the abdominal area, including the lower portion of the liver, extending as low as the caecum. Crush the grapes (the pink California grapes, at this particular season) and apply on gauze about a quarter of an inch to half an inch thick. Allow this poultice to remain until the body has absorbed almost all the moisture from the grapes. Repeat this each day for at least 5 days.

8. Then begin and massage the area with this combination of oils:

5023-1 Page 2

Olive Oil..............2 ounces, Peanut Oil.............2 ounces, Lanolin (melted).....1/4 ounce.

9. Also there should be a stimulating treatment to the whole cerebrospinal system, from the 3rd cervical to the lumbar axis. There should be about 10 of such treatments, stimulating treatments, osteopathically given.

10. Through the period of these applications, both the poultice and osteopathic treatments, drink fresh grape juice often.

11. Build up body resistance with quantities of beef juice taken as medicine.

12. Also take a teaspoonful each day of Wyeth's Beef, Iron & Wine.

13. Thus we will find that we will bring better conditions for this body.

14. Ready for questions.

15. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)
