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, [5116].
3. As we find, there are disturbances. These have been of long standing. That there are not greater disturbances than exists is because the entity has held a very good attitude even through it all.
4. Yet, as we find, these conditions may be materially aided if there will be a consistent and persistent attitude, and consistency of activity.
5. It will require a long period for the corrections to be made in the segments along the spine, that are contributory measures to the disturbances. And because of such a long standing, it will be well to have these rather in a series. As we find, owing to the position of the stomach, it is very slow emptying. Thus, any food taken, that easily becomes rancid, causes a great deal of aggravation. Improper digestion keeps the body tending toward a lack of sufficient resistance. Because of the poor assimilation there are very poor eliminations.
6. We would have regular series of adjustments osteopathically, with special reference to the areas from the 6th dorsal to the 1st cervical, or those that would tend to make for the greater emptying at all times of the stomach. Not so severe, and that is why the long periods are not advisable, but short series, two week periods, having at least two or three adjustments during each week, and then about as long a rest period.
7. But throughout the periods of the adjustments and throughout the rest of the periods, do wear a support for the stomach. The best support may be made by hand, by just taking a piece of gauze or a piece of an old sheet and

binding it well below the stomach as a support for the stomach.
8. Also have this as an aid for digestion: Following whatever is the heaviest meal taken each day, whether it be breakfast, noon or night, take at least 1 ounce of water in which you have put 5 drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin and 3 drops of Milk of Bismuth, see? Do this regularly each day.
9. Do have foods that are already, or near digested: as beef juice, broths, vegetable broths, liquid and semi-liquids.
10. Take very seldom those of raw vegetables, but watercress whenever possible or practical to take some of this. Also those which are used as garnishings for meat, rather than those that are often eaten, but these as peppermint or those that may be used just as watercress is often used. Not quantities, just sufficient that these react with the body.
11. Do have occasionally sinusoidal treatments. This should be about once during the period of the two weeks' adjustments, or treatment. Rest about as long as from the osteopathic treatments, but have one sinusoidal each week, not too heavy, but make the application to the 4th and 5th dorsals and over the liver and gall duct areas with the other plate. Do not use this more than a minute or less, especially in the beginning.
12. Do have occasionally colonic irrigations.
13. Do use as a laxative that of senna tea. Get the senna pods and put three or four in a cup, then pour boiling water over same and let stand for thirty minutes to three-quarters of an hour, strain and drink: this may be cooled if preferable. This will tend to clear the trouble with kidneys and the burning sensation through the bladder, as well as the burning sensation through portions of the stomach.
14. When using the colonics, do use soda and salt with same, by using a heaping teaspoon full of salt and a level teaspoon full of soda to two quarts of water. Always have the enema near body temperature, not too hot, not too cold, never above body temperature, but almost to body temperature. Do use Glyco-Thymoline in the last water for purifying. This is well to be taken daily in a glass of water. Drink lots of water, but at least one glass of water through the day with 6 drops of Glyco-Thymoline in it.
15. Also occasionally prepare elm in the water. This should be at least two or three times a week. Place a pinch of ground elm in a glass of water, stir and let stand for an hour, then let it cool and drink.
16. Thus we will have better conditions for this body.

17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Would change of climate be helpful? (A) Not necessarily, but if there is the desire or feeling of same, it would be very well.
