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, [5223].

3. As we find, there have been gradual accumulations here from an inactivity of the thyroid glands, until in the accumulations there are those tendencies towards an ingrowing goiter. Thus the trouble with the throat.

4. These have been and are the greater disorders to the body. These, also from poor circulation, caused accumulations which are found through the body from activities in the elimination and the general circulations. Also from improper fitting of the feet they give a great deal of trouble, from callouses and corns on portions of the feet, especially on the toe, the next to the small toe on the right foot and the small one on the left foot.

5. These are the disturbances with this body.

6. If we would make these applications we will find much bettered conditions for the body. First:

7. Osteopathically make the corrections in the cervical and the upper dorsal areas, which will give better circulation to the throat, the thyroid especially.

8. We would add to the body-forces one drop of Atomidine in water each morning for 5 days. Leave it off fifteen days, but this during the period that the adjustments are being made. Then take again for five days.

9. These, as we find, will aid in correcting the conditions.

10. Apply the violet ray once each week over the throat, using the throat applicator. Do not use this more than one minute or a minute and a half at the most, and then not turned on full strength. But we need to change the vibrations. This do also during the period that the sixteen

adjustments are being made osteopathically. These should be made about twice each week.

11. For the conditions of the feet, we would apply baking soda mixed with Spirits of Camphor; this dampened and put on at night; this bound on would be preferable. This will bring on one or two days of severe pain, but we will find that by applying this regularly, within ten days or two weeks, there will be no more callouses or corns on the feet.

12. Do have occasionally a thorough massage of the lower limbs to improve the circulation through same, using Peanut Oil as a means of the massage. This especially in the feet, ankles, knees and along the sciatic nerves.

13. Do that and we will make better conditions for this body.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) What laxative would be best for this body? (A) For this body, we would alternate. Occasionally, for two or three periods, once or twice a week, use a mineral salts such as Honeyida water or French Lick water, or occasionally use Sal Hepatica. Then in the next period use a vegetable base entirely, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin, or use senna pods, three or four pods put in a cup and this filled with hot water; let it stand for thirty minutes, drain, cool and drink. This is the better one of the vegetable base though the Honeyida is the preferable of the mineral base or the French Lick water.

16. (Q) What is the best treatment for the scalp? (A) Use Fitch's scalp remedy, using Quin Oils.* These will make for improvements of the conditions. For these are parts of the conditions of the cervical and dorsal which will be improved by the osteopathic adjustments. * [9/22/60 GD's note: Druggist tells me he used to carry a brand name of Fitch's called Fitch's Quinoil. Hence the sentence should read: "Use Fitch's scalp remedy, uaing Quinoil's."]

17. (Q) For freckles? (A) You'd better try to keep your freckles and not try to get rid of them. Genuine Black and White for skin is preferable for such, but these are in the pigment of the skin, and unless you wish to upset something else, don't attempt to bleach more than you would have from the regular condition. These are partially liver conditions but don't be touchy about freckles, they're good for you.

18. (Q) How long will I be able to continue in work I am doing? (A) Just how long do you wish to continue? There will be others who will have to care for it when you are not here.*

Don't let this disturb you, because you will live as long as you desire and do good for others. * [8/15/57 Mrs. [585]'s report: "She didn't like that one bit - thought she would surely outlive her patient. She died 7 years later; he lived 5 more years." (See 585-6, Par. 13-A & 585-2, Par. R1. Also see 585-12, Par. 13-A re Miss [5223].)]
