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: Why doesn't she stay in her room? Wait a minute: it's time for the reading. Yes, we have the body on the way, [5229].

3. As we find, the disturbances with the organs of the sensory system, the eyes, the ears, the taste, all come from an incoordination between the nerves of the cerebrospinal system and the sympathetic, and thus the patches in the areas of the brachial centers show lack of coordination being established between these circulations. Thus we have in throat, in eyes, in the whole nervous system, periods when all of these give a great deal of disturbance.

4. As we find, if we would apply a gentle massage osteopathically which would make for coordination in the cervical, dorsal and including the 9th dorsal and throughout the lumbar in making coordination with the cerebrospinal and sympathetic, using the short-wave electrical vibrations to change activities to bettered conditions, we will bring better forces and influences for this body.

5. The osteopathic adjustments should be taken rather in series; that is, take about ten; with the last of these take the short-wave with them. Keep us the short-wave every week afterward for at least three or four weeks, and then twice a week again have the osteopathic treatments and combined with, once a week, the short-wave.

6. Thus we will make bettered conditions for this body.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Will my eyes ever be normal enough that I can read and write again? (A) They should be normal enough, if the connections in

these areas are made. Use a scraped Irish potato poultice as a purifier for the inflammation over the eyes at least once a week. Use an old potato, scrape it, put on a gauze and then put on the eye and let it remain at least 30 minutes. Then cleanse with any good antiseptic for the eyes, as an eye wash. These will, with the adjustments, make for much quicker improvements.

9. (Q) Will my hands and wrists ever be flexible again so that I can play the piano? (A) If those activities with the corrections and the short-wave are eliminated, by stimulating the alimentary canal for purifying the system, yes.

10. (Q) Why do the readings refer to osteopathic adjustments of the spine and not to chiropractic adjustments? (A) Chiropractic adjustments are good; but there are few chiropractors who make proper adjustments.

11. We are through with this reading. Two copies to self (one for the osteopath - Please let us have his name and address.) Copy to Ass'n file " for indexing
