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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, conditions are not so good.
4. There are those tendencies for an overflow of the lymph, and the accumulations in the superficial circulation of fluids.
5. These produce pressures that are indicated as a part of the distresses to the body.
6. We would have regular hydrotherapy treatments, with the eliminations through colonic irrigations; with special precautions taken as for the conditions in the intestinal tract where the hernia conditions or folds allow the intestines to become enmeshed. These precautions should be taken when the irrigations are given. Follow these with hot and COLD showers, or the needle or electric bath from hot and cold, with a thorough rubdown.
7. Also about twice a week we would have a deep osteopathic adjustment made by an osteopath, - NOT by the masseur or hydrotherapist.
8. Do these.
9. Take precautions as not to overeat of sugars or fats.
10. And we would bring - soon - bettered conditions for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What should be done to remove lump underneath chin, and has this any connection with the suffocating and cough?
    (A) The cough is partially from smoking and partially from the pressures produced by the lump, as well as the general conditions. As we find, we would remove the general causes - if we would remove the lump and the trouble.
    Do that.
13. (Q) Should I cut down on smoking?
    (A) Cut down to about half.
    We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 333-9 on 10/31/38 for dizzy spells tiredness, further advice for long standing abdominal hernia.
2. 7/16/41 "My trouble seems now to be mainly a reoccurance of disease I had many years ago when I had a nervous breakdown. Wife [602] is fair though not as well and strong as last year. The war and wondering about son [670] and what minute is going to be the next makes us both feel that we would like to sleep all the time so we would not know anything about it all." [What can be done about suffocating and choking sensation in chest and throat? How can cough be cured? What can be done to remove lump underneath chin? Diet? Spiritual advice?]

REPORTS

1. 7/23/41 "Dr. Waters gave me the first osteopathic tr. this p.m. She agrees with you as to conditions and as usual was a real help in making it all clear to me. She does not, however, see how the lump can be removed through anything suggestive in the rdg. and she wants me to have it cut out right away, claiming that if I get rid of it her work will be much more effective. She thinks that the secretions of of which the lump is formed may be draining into the system ...I am trying to make proper arrangements for the hydrotherapy tr... I will certainly try as usual to follow the rdg., as I know it will do what it says it will."
