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, Room 207, [5734]. Yes, we have the body here, [5734].
3. As we find, there are complications of disturbances that prevent the better physical functioning. These cause an assortment of varied disturbances through the body, and yet, in their incipiency, arose from one general cause, that of catarrhal conditions in the adenoids, causing a sinus disturbance added to same through the flow from this infection causing a catarrhal condition through the digestive system.
4. Thus we have this upsetting condition in the digestive system, the conditions in the sinus, headache, eyes, disturbance to ears causing noises in same at times, poor circulation, poor elimination.
5. This combination causes a tendency towards neuritis, arthritis and rheumatism and the reflexes, also from incoordination between the liver and kidneys. Hence all of the organs seem to be affected by same.
6. As we find, it will require time, but if there would be consistency there could be body improvement. Even when improved do not leave off entirely, but periodically repeat the applications for stimulation and better activity through the body.
7. First: Do not begin until there can be a regular routine begun, but this routine should be begun at once. First: Use Castor Oil Packs for one hour each day for three days in succession each week, for a period of at least three weeks.

This should be used in the evening when the body is ready to retire. Saturate three to four thicknesses of heavy flannel (preferably old flannel) with Castor Oil. Saturate, not just pour on. Apply this over the liver and gall duct area and let it extend to the caecum on the right side. When this has been covered with cloths to prevent soiling of bed linens, apply the electric pad and this keep good and hot, as hot as the body can stand. When each Pack is taken off, sponge the body off with a weak solution of soda water, and then massage Glyco-Thymoline into the areas, especially the caecum and gall duct areas. This should be done for three days, and for an hour each day. After the third application, the last day each week, take two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil. Then leave off these Packs until the next week, then repeat for three days in the same manner.
8. During the period that the Oil Packs are being taken, burn close to the body Compound Tincture of Benzoin and Oil of Eucalyptus (one teaspoonful of each to one pint of water) in a croup cup so that the fumes may be inhaled. Do this for the whole period that the Packs are being used.
9. When these have been taken for three series, leave off a couple of weeks, and begin again and take for three periods, both the Oil Packs and the fumes.
10. At the beginning of the second series of treatments, have osteopathic relaxing treatments which tend towards emptying the gall duct. Have sixteen to eighteen of these treatments. During this series of osteopathic treatments, have at least two Sinusoidal treatments. These should tend to empty the gall duct by the expansion of same.
11. Toward the end of the treatments we would apply the short-wave treatments at the brachial center and back of neck, and on the lumbar and sacral areas. These should require the change in the type of adjustments and relaxing treatments being given.
12. Following the short-wave, leave off the Sinusoidal treatments and the Packs, and the fumes. These should be setting up drainages and relaxing, especially in the areas of the upper cervical and upper dorsal, coordinating the lower lumbar and the sacral and lumbar areas and we should find better conditions for this body.
13. In the diet begin adding more raw vegetables often. Use these prepared with gelatin.
14. The eliminations should be kept good throughout the period, even though it is necessary at times to take laxatives. Begin the laxatives with the use of a vegetable compound taken in broken doses, any that is of the senna base; such as the properties in Syrup of Figs, or Castoria

or Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin.
15. Flush the system afterwards with doses of mineral salts, as Honeyida Water or Sal Hepatica. Do these and we will make better conditions.
