TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [324]; this we have had before.
As we find, those disturbances that we have indicated as existent in relation to the circulation through the liver and to the sensory organs have not been mechanically adjusted.
Thus the cold and congestion has brought about an acute condition in the reflexes that are active in the circulation from same.
With a lesion that exists in the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal, the slowing of the circulation to the liver has prevented the proper activity of the juices or the secretions through the gall duct upon the blood stream.
Then with the slowing of the circulation through the organs of the sensory forces, - ears, eyes, - throat, there has been congestion.
And with a malarial inclination, it has produced a form of strep. This as we find is the disturbance in the present.
This, combined with the shock to the nervous system by those external applications, and the fear created by same through an already disturbed circulation, has merely tended to increase this disorder.
These we would apply, in this form and manner:
First, as to the manner of making the osteopathic adjustments necessary:
Let the body lie prone upon the face. Then, on either side of the cerebrospinal system manipulate gently the areas from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to at least the 9th; not by attempting to move the vertebra by pressure, but by thumb and finger upon either side of same.
Then turn the body upon the left side, and from the front make the pressure through the area downward.
Have these adjustments or treatments each day, you see. These are for the specific or basic condition.
Have those inhalations for the body - in the atmosphere - of the fumes from an equal combination of Compound Tincture of Benzoin and Oil of Eucalyptus, in a croup cup or the like; say a teaspoonful of each boiled in water in a croup cup, you see - in the room where the body is. This is for the acute condition.
Then, - to cause the proper adjusting of the functioning system to these applications, - begin taking internally Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. It is not very tasteless, however! Take it in broken doses, - say about half to a full teaspoonful, or three quarters teaspoonful, three times each day - before the meals, preferably.
After this has been given for two to three days, then leave off and take a good round of Castoria for one day - very small doses often.
Then rest one day from taking internal medicinal properties.
And then begin again with the Chill Tonic.
Doing these in this manner, - we will find we will remove the causes, the effects, and the general activities.
DO NOT give the injections, - they are doing more harm than good! For it is putting a virus that is CREATING the very thing attempting to be eliminated! For, as indicated, the cause arises from local infection PRODUCED by those conditions of the natures as we have given.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Advise as to use of X-Ray for inner ear infection.
(A) We would not; until at least after these suggestions here indicated have been given a thorough try; for as indicated, if these are done consistently we may remove causes AND effects, if given properly. The X-Ray, with the PRESENT condition, would tend to harden tissue and eventually cause some deafness, - and still not remove causes.
(Q) Is there danger of brain abscess or mastoiditis?
(A) There's danger UNLESS CAUSES are removed!
(Q) Should Neo-Sulfanil treatment be repeated?
(A) No; not if these treatments here outlined are given. If these are not given, then this may eventually become necessary.
(Q) As to environment, is it better that the body remain with grandparents or parents?
(A) That should be according to the body's OWN activity; just so the care is taken as we have indicated is necessary.
To be sure, the diet is to be mostly liquid for the next few days. Of course, oatmeal or cereals, but not too much solid foods. Eggs, - any of such things if prepared so as to be easily digested are well. Soups more than others, though.
(Q) Is there any other advice for Dr. Hudgins?
(A) These as outlined are the proper MANNERS of adjustment. In the first two or three days, he may also assist in better eliminations by stimulation of those centers (though not in the same manner) controlling the gastric flow and the eliminating from alimentary canal. But these as indicated are the principal measures to be taken, for most of these others have been taken into consideration - but these in addition will be helpful. Do not attempt to give these adjustments too quickly, nor even to make adjustments, you see - but stimulate in a circular motion about the areas indicated, - either side, with fingers and thumb; these with the body prone. Then upon the LEFT side, with the right hand then above the head, you see, and the left foot drawn upward.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 324-8 on 10/18/38 for pinworms, intestinal fever, etc.
11/09/40 Grandmother [413] submitted questions, including: "Please verify or correct the report of the M.D. concerning what he termed bad blood. [Septicemia? Anemia?] Have the injections for this been helpful or harmful, and should they be continued or stopped? (If verified) How was the germ acquired by this body? Is this present flare-up a result of activities in resisting last injection? Is strep germ still active?"

REPORTS

12/06/40 See 324-10 indicating great improvement.
