TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the condition you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of the body.
2. EC: Now we find there are abnormal conditions with this body. These have to do with the functioning of organs and the effect as is produced by specific conditions that exist in the system, producing the disturbance with the function- ing, and the variations as caused by the condition producing same indicates how the condition or how this affects the functioning of the body, especially that condition as is shown in the heart's action and the effect as is shown in the circulation in the hepatics at such times.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [210], we are speaking of. The condition, however, is, irrespective of the properties as taken in system to affect certain conditions. These are the conditions of the body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find is abnormal, or in the subnormal condition, both in the pulsation in its circulation exterior and interior, and the constituents of the blood itself are below normal, produced by conditions, as we shall see, in the body.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find does not coordinate either in cerebrospinal action or in sympathetic system. For we find, with depressions as come from the stress of the functioning in the blood supplying forces in lacteal ducts, that the heart's action becomes subnormal, or overtaxed, while the hepatic circulation goes very high. [Thus there is the] producing in the respiratory system the distress to portions of the body, caused by the reaction that exists in the 9th dorsal, where the impingement causes, and has produced, in the lacteals, that clogging of the supply that should flow in the lacteal ducts to supply blood forces in lung and heart's action. Hence the subnormal body. This produces then the condition existing at times in lower end of stomach, duodenum, in the liver in its action through its excretory system. This produces, too, the reaction in kidneys, with the reflex condition sympathetically. These conditions [are] produced from the specific impingement, as will be found here, 9th dorsal vertebra. In the effect then that this brings to the reaction in the hypogastric and pneumogastric, the hypogastric reaction is increasing hepatic circulation. In the pneumogastric the depression and the condition that exists in head proper producing this hallucination, for the depression becomes then in the central portion at base of brain. Reflexes. No organic conditions in any of the organs, save as produced reflexly from that [effect] from the lacteal glands, and the lacteal ducts as carry the chile, and the body has in times back suffered from intestinal digestion, indigestion. Hence the condition as makes and produces this lesion in these portions of body.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS, we find all under the strain of these conditions, yet functioning as near normal at times as a system should, and would, under such strains.
7. Then to bring the relief to this body would be to first give those properties that will react, and not as a sedative to the system in the manner as some as have been given. Give rather these. This should be a dose, and should be given only when necessary to produce rest and to alleviate the distress brought to nerve system and to the trunk portion in body, and respiratory system and heart action.
8. Prepare in capsules:

   Eucalyptol............................1 minim,
Heroin.............................1/80 grain,
Rectified Oil of Turp.................1 minim,
Canadian Balsam.......................1 minim.

9. When at least three of these have been taken (and do not give them closer than two hours, and seldom unless necessary to reduce the distress in body) then reduce by the deep manipulation, osteopathically or chiropractically, or better one that understands both, the condition in the 9th dorsal vertebra, relaxing the rest of the system, and especially that in the right side near the lacteal glands.
10. Do that, and we will bring the normal conditions to this body, and in a very short while.
11. Let the diet be in keeping with that condition in the intestinal tract. That is, that which, with the medicinal properties taken, and the adjustments, will be easy to be assimilated in system. Necessary for stimulants in the lower intestinal tract. Best taken in diet, that of the foods that would give the proper reaction in colon. Do that.
12. (Q) Any special foods that should be given?
    (A) These should be given in accordance with those adjustments, as given in adjustments. Best be applied through that channel. As those are given, that necessary to be assimilated in the system. The dietetic [advice] should be from the manipulator.
    The body is easy at present, you see.
13. (Q) Is there any immediate danger in the body?
    (A) [Not] unless the sinking spells become such as to attack the heart's action too much, you see. If these medicinal properties are taken, as given, we will find the relaxation to the nerve tension, as produced through these conditions in body at present, would be relaxed, for we have as this:
    In that of the eucalyptol we have reaction in the diaphragm and lungs, in this circulation through the carotid artery, and the reaction comes through the right oracle which flows the blood through the congested portions in liver, and the lacteal ducts, and the hypogastric plexuses, reducing the reaction in the high hepatic circulation and equalizing the circulation over body, preventing the blood from flowing, falling, in one portion of the body too severely. And the heroin acts in the same manner as to re-relax the lungs in bringing the blood back, and reacting in heart's action rather than those stimulations which only relax nerve tissue; while that of the turp reacts in the hepatics and the hypogastric in the kidneys, reducing and equalizing the circulation in the lower portion of the body; while the Canadian Balsam acts as the stimulant of the duodenum and pancreas, each acting in their channel; while in others [as have been given?] we find the stimulus comes to heart's action, overtaxing these portions. The sooner these stimulants are given the better, the sooner the reduction through the relaxing, the chiropractic or osteopathic forces, in 9th dorsal, and in that congestion in the right side, the sooner the body would be free from danger.
14. We are through. Do that as we have given.
