1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5574]. Now, we find, while the body is very good in many respects, there are those conditions that are disturbing and troublesome to the body, and these conditions are more reflex than any other, and were the body to take these in hand in time this may be eliminated from the system, and if the cause is corrected this would be a permanent relief; while, continuing of applications for effects as are produced will only tend to shift the disturbing forces in the system. In this particular case or condition, however, there must be consideration given to both local effects and the troubles as produce same.
2. In the conditions then, as we find with this body, [5574] we are speaking of, there are existent those of lesions in the cerebrospinal system that may be termed the cause of the disturbance, primarily. These conditions exist in the upper dorsal and in the sacral and coccyx region. The effects as are produced are such disturbances to the metabolism of the system as to cause catarrhal congestion in the system, in such a manner as the mucus membranes of the head are affected. Such conditions as are seen in nasal cavity, or passages, and the closing of same by thickening tissue is a result, as is the condition in the pressure produced in lachrymal ducts and the inflammation occurring at times to the eyelids, soreness in eyeball, also the indigestion is a result of this condition, rather by toxics from the system itself and by infections in the mucus - even - from the character of the system - as is produced by too much acid in the foods and in the juices as form to produce assimilation or digestion; even the salivary glands show the effect, as is seen from condition in mouth, roof of mouth, tongue, sides of mouth at times. In the alimentary canal, in the colon, most of the reflex from this occurs, producing pains in the side at times - heaviness; pressure on the bladder, causing irritation and often the effect of too

active in the kidneys, and the acid condition there. Also the variation in the blood supply, as causes fast pulse, a low pressure, and a depression at times around the heart. This rather the effect of digestive action than of the circulatory system, save as affected by the indigestion and the dryness as produced in the canal itself.
3. In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions for this body, we would first - for at least two weeks the body should keep off of feet, and this should be considered seriously as soon as the body may conveniently do so, for it is taking great chances with self to allow these conditions to continue without the causes being corrected. While the effects must be considered, the causes must be corrected also, while these changes are being effected in the various portions of the system.
4. Then, the rest for at least two weeks from feet; not necessarily in bed all of the time, but at least that sufficient for the body to have PLENTY of rest during that period.
5. Begin with the correction of the conditions in the cerebrospinal system, also at the same period - these we would do osteopathically - the treatments should be given every day, the corrections should be made at least every third day, applying heat - wet heat, or wet packs and heat to the packs - BEFORE the deep manipulations are given, in the dorsal, cervical, and lumbar and sacral regions.
6. In the applications during the same period, there should be used those of the antiseptic solutions as will clarify or cleanse that condition through the passages in nose and face. Also attention should be given to the mouth. Well that a mouth wash occasionally be used, massaging gums thoroughly at least twice each week with Ipsab solution, and also correcting some local conditions in teeth.
7. We would also, during the same period, apply those of the ultra violet ray. ALTER same with those of the Infra red for the deep tissue, as well as nerve centers, MUST be reached. We will ENLIVEN the centers from which all of the structural portions of the body emanate. Especially would we apply the ultra violet in the central portion, or through the LUNGS and back. While those of the Infra red we would apply more thoroughly to the back, in the region of the plexus as governs the scapula, the centers from the shoulders and the locomotary centers. Also we would apply over the SACRAL region the Infra red, massaging same thoroughly after such.
8. We would also, at least twice - for two or three months - twice a month use the high enema for the CLEANSING of the

colon. Also using those of the oil rubs after the baths of the high heat, or sweat baths are used.
9. Keep the body warm during all of these periods, especially the FEET warm, the head cool.
10. The diet should be principally those of the ALKALIN reaction. A great deal of the citrous fruits should be used in the eliminations, also those of the beef, iron and wine as the stimulator for the digestive system.
11. Well that those of the properties in Vinol be given occasionally, though we would alter that combination by adding to same those of this, which would be taken - with the teaspoonful of Vinol, at least twice each day, add only five drops of this solution: Tincture Valerian......1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya........1/2 ounce, Syrup of Rhubarb.......1/4 ounce, Tincture of Capsici......2 minims. This in a three ounce solution of Simple Syrup as a carrier. Adding this to the dose of Vinol - just the drops, as given.
12. Do this. We will find that the body in two to three weeks would be FREED from these conditions.
13. NOT following these, and only treating local conditions, we may find and expect disorders through liver, kidneys and digestive system, as well as lungs involved. Ready for questions. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Cayce Hospital
