Time of Reading 10:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Texas. (Physical Suggestions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions. These, in some manners, have become acute through MENTAL, or through the condition or state of mental being, through misunderstandings as have come - RECENT. These affect directly the physical being, through the mental attributes of the body and through the nerve effect produced upon the system.
2. In the nerve forces, we find there are those of that nature that produces impingements in the system in such a manner as to keep distraughtness through portions of the system, especially as is related to the assimilating, and the system as regarding eliminations of the mental and physical nature in the body. These, as we find, affect directly those of the sacral, lumbar and coccyx region, and sympathetically those of the brachial region. Hence the variations in the heart's action, as well as the tendency to overact upon the GLANDS as are affected through same, and the CIRCULATION in the upper portion of the head.
3. In the physical organs, these show sympathetic distress, as is seen in the manner in which the coordinations in eliminations in the system are affected.
4. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions for THIS body: First we would prepare as this for medicinal properties for the system, see?
5. To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add: Tincture Valerian...................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya.....................1/2 ounce, 10% Solution Iodide of Potassium.....20 minims. Dissolve 1 ounce Rock Candy in 2 ounces Spirits Frumenti (90%) and add to solution. Also Tincture of Capsici 2 minims. The dose of this would be half a teaspoonful 3 times each day.

6. When the full quantity of this has been taken, then we would change for the effects as may be created in the system.
7. The diet during this period should be those principally, of mornings, of gruels, fruits, and those in the noon of salads - nut salads, fruit salads, vegetable salads - lunch. Of evening, those of the nature as are more BLOOD building.
8. Keep the eliminations open; that is, the activity of the bowels, or the system in the alimentary canal's elimination.
9. In the change, we would prepare then as this: To 8 ounces distilled water, add: Mandrake Root........................1/2 ounce, Indian Turnip........................1/4 ounce, Wild Ginseng...........................1 ounce. Reduce this by slow boiling to 1/2 the quantity. Strain, and while still warm - but not hot - add grain alcohol 1/2 ounce, with 1/4 dram Balsam of Tolu cut in same. Add, also, Oil of Sassafras 4 minims. The dose of this should be half a teaspoonful twice each day, and during the whole period that THIS is taken, the manipulations - osteopathically - should adjust those conditions in coccyx, lumbar and sacral.
10. To change the flow, or menstrual periods as cause disturbance, we would use warm douches in which - to the half a gallon of water a teaspoonful of Glyco-Thymoline is used. This should not be taken, of course, DURING the period - but before and immediately following the stoppage of flow. During period, hot packs may be used across the sacral region, and in same have a few drops of turpentine, either in the WET pack or in the salt pack. A drop to 6 ounces of salt (heavy salt).
11. Do that, and we will find that after at least sixteen osteopathic treatments - Better were they given each day, and better were the body under the supervision of one where these may be followed very closely. Do that, but - we will find - in six to eight weeks a nearer normal force, and the nearer normal activities throughout the whole system. The body may then conceive, if it so desires. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Cayce Hospital
