TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there needs to be SPECIFIC attention given to those strains in the area of the rib where it joins to the sternum, as well as the flexing it has produced in the 6th dorsal center.
4. These as we find should be best dressed AND attended to by an osteopathic adjustment, and with sufficient brace to hold same in position used with the corrective measures.
5. As to the regular or general conditions of the body, we find there are still the tendencies for the acids of the body to exceed the alkalines. This tends to make for strains generally upon the system, but in many ways conditions are on the improve, and will continue to be if there will just be those precautions as we have indicated, - as to diet, as to the manner of the mental reactions to not create resentments or hates, or any natures that cause an adding to these disturbances through the mental reactions. And we would keep the alkalinity by the use of any form of alkalines - preferably not sodas, - but use Tums occasionally. Here we will find a measure that will be most helpful, taken after meals, see?
6. Then with these corrections we should find very good forces and influences.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Who would you suggest to make these corrections?
   (A) Whoever she chooses, - just so he is acquainted with the measures as indicated. A GOOD osteopath!
9. (Q) What kind of brace or support?
   (A) Wrap it about the body! Whether it is of adhesive or just tape depends upon who would apply same!
   Do these, - as we find would be the corrective forces. But the sooner this is done the better it will be.
10. We are through for the present.
