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, [5144].

3. As we find, these are rather serious disturbances with this body. For as we find, unless there is great care taken in the administrations for the body, the applications for some portions of the disturbance may be very hard upon other portions of the body.

4. As we find, the main disturbance arises from ankylosis, or the deposit of too great amounts of calcium in portions of the structural body; hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, feet and toes, ankles and knees, all of these show the effect of this character of disturbance.

5. These, as we find, may be gradually eliminated, yet there will be the necessity of careful diet and of real precautions taken, else too severe reactions would become very hard on the heart; circulation between the heart, lungs and liver, especially.

6. Also there has long been a prolapsus in the Eustachian tube. This is as the basis, for this accumulation at the joints arises from an unbalanced condition, weakening the resistance in the lymph and emunctory circulation through extremities, through all portions of the body where there are those areas where great lymph pockets are gathered in the regular functioning of the body.

7. As we find, these will require a great deal of patience, a great deal of persistence, a great deal of patience on the part of the body itself, and being very persistent and consistent with administrations.

8. We would find that using daily Epsom Salt Packs would be very helpful. Take a hand and an arm on the same side of

the body, wrap this in hot Epsom Salt water; this made almost a saturated solution. And this is to be followed by a rub, and rub toward the body at all times.

9. There should be begun at once regular periods of colonic irrigations, which will aid in keeping the system rid of that which is a part of the necessary activity to set up better eliminations of the poisons from the body.

10. These packs would be, then, applied to each arm, each limb. As these are aided, then the massage would be given daily with Peanut Oil.

11. Vegetables raw, not too much, but sufficient each day to give those tendencies for better alkalinity through the body.

12. It would be well if there were general massages administered almost every other day; at least have them Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. These we would give as a thorough massage all over the body following the Epsom Salt Packs.

13. As these conditions are gradually aided, this will work towards also an osteopathic finger surgery. Had this been administered some fifteen to sixteen years ago, we might have had quite a different story for the physical forces of this body. But begin now, first by, setting up better drainages, breaking up this tendency for joints to become static and for swelling in the centers through the extremities of the body, and gradually within the next six months to twelve months working towards betterment for those conditions in ears or Eustachian tube. While this may not restore the hearing entirely, we will have a 20 to 50 per cent gain in the abilities of hearing, if these administrations are made regularly. These should be at least twice each week.

14. The Packs and the rubs should be given over the areas that are inflamed and that show the inability of proper motion in the extremities.

15. Do that.

16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) Should all upper teeth be removed? (A) These, as we find, while not altogether a source of the trouble, are so much contributory to same that the body will be much bettered if these were removed.

18. (Q) What causes spasmodic pain around heart? (A) The disturbed circulation.

19. (Q) I constantly hear music in the air, has this anything to do with my physical condition? (A) This is the expression of psychic abilities of the entity.

20. (Q) Would it be beneficial to remove residence to a warmer climate, such as California? (A) Such a climate as Arizona or New Mexico would be well.
