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 [5408].
3. Now, as we find, there are disturbances here which have, for long periods, prevented the better physical functioning of the body. These, as we find, have to do with the activity of the blood supply and eliminating forces of the body, or the functioning of the liver, as related to gall duct, or gall supply for digestion and purifying blood stream. Here we have one gall duct almost choked by sediment, rather than stone, though the sediment is stony in its consistency.
4. As we find, so long as there is no temperature, there may be the possibility of eliminating this without operative measures. Though operative measures would be severe upon the body, these applications, as we find, may be done with less severity to the body, so that these may eliminate, dependent upon the response of the body to the applications and as to how sincere and how consistent and persistent they are in making these applications.
5. First, we would give as foods, only liquids, semi-liquids, and those that are body-supplying, but easily assimilated.
6. Then we would begin first, and apply, for at least three hours each day, for five days in succession, Glyco-Thymoline Packs, over the liver and gall duct areas. Use at least three to four thicknesses of cotton cloth saturated with the Glyco-Thymoline. Then apply a heavy pad of hot salt over same. After this has been used, gently massage - not so as to rupture - not so as to displace - but so as to cause full absorption of Peanut Oil and Olive Oil, equal portions, into

that area and through the abdomen.
7. After the five days, rest a day, and then begin with Castor Oil Packs. Use at least three thicknesses of flannel, saturated - not just pouring on but saturated with Castor Oil, and after covering with [oil] cloth to prevent soiling of linen, apply an electric pad. Be very careful. These should not be used more than an hour at the time, but if these are done twice a day for at least three days in succession it would be well. Give small doses of Olive Oil, but increase it gradually to all the body is able to take. Then, after the three days, rest one day. Then begin again, but continue to give the Olive Oil at least 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful, two to three to four times a day.
8. Thus we should eliminate - empty - the whole of the greater duct. Do that.
9. Should there be nausea or temperature, operate.
