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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5060]; this we have had before. [No copy of previous readings on file.]

3. As we find, there are definite disturbances here. These relieved, we will find that the general welfare will be improved and many of the disturbances will be materially aided.

4. Through the periods of activity the action of the gall duct area has become, as it were, full of sediment; not so much stones but sediment; little activity of the excretory functionings as to supply sufficient quantity of the bile for the digestion of foods or oils for the body.

5. For an hour each day, for five days in succession, apply Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct. Use at least three to four thicknesses of flannel saturated with Castor Oil. Apply these directly to the body and when covered, to prevent soiling linens, apply the electric pad. Keep these sufficiently warm as to cause the radiation to be absorbed through the area.

6. After the first pack is taken, begin taking small doses of Olive Oil, a teaspoonful every four hours. Keep this up for the five days.

7. Then leave off the Packs about a week, and then have another series, and so on.

8. After the first series (not before) we would begin with relaxing osteopathically the whole length of the cerebrospinal system.

9. Thus we will aid and prevent the headaches, nausea, the shortness of breath that occurs at times, make better eliminations, better activities through the whole system; gradually enabling the body to have the gall duct drained through the osteopathic method, you see.

10. Keep away from fats and heavy meats. Fish or fowl may be taken in moderation, but not fried.

11. Do increase the amount of the raw foods that would be taken, especially carrots and celery. These we would have oft prepared with gelatin, by being grated or cut and prepared in gelatin, or at times it would be well to juice these and just drink the juice.

12. These as we find will bring bettered conditions.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Are the kidneys involved? (A) Only sympathetically. There is the attempt of the kidneys to carry on part of the elimination that should be carried on by the activity of the liver. This causes the muscular pains and the neuritis at times, but with the setting up of drainages as should be done with the type of osteopathic treatments indicated, we will find that these conditions will gradually clear.

15. (Q) Can the rectal trouble be relieved, and how? (A) We would use this combination as an injection, for the disturbance in the sphincter muscles and nerves from which the hemorrhoids arise: To 1 ounce of Glycerine add 2 drops of Carbolic Acid. Stir or beat this very thoroughly, as with mortise and pestle. Then add 2 ounces of Usoline or Nujol. Use this in an ear syringe. Inject half of this amount at the time, in the rectal area. Do this and then apply the second quantity about a week to ten days later. This should be sufficient. But if there should recur the condition, prepare in the same proportions and manner, and use some six to eight weeks later.

16. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for osteopath - Let us have the name of the one you choose.) Copy to Ass'n file " for indexing
