TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [419]; this we have had before.
2. Changes here also from that we have had before. Some are much more acute, and some have been helped by the jolt that has been had - if there will be taken advantage of the conditions that exist in the present.
3. Those conditions through the shoulders and the neck are HELPED by the jolt received, if there will be the stimulations given that will keep them in their present position.
4. We would in an osteopathic manner, however, adjust those conditions in the lumbar, and especially in the lumbar axis and the sacral area - as well as in the 9th dorsal. Such adjustments would preferably be made in an osteopathic manner, and with the body - when the 9th dorsal adjustments are made - lying on the back; while those in the lower lumbar or in the lumbar axis and the upper sacral would be made with the body lying on the face.
5. These, with the general rubs as may be had from the combination of Pine Oil and Olive Oil (equal parts), would be most helpful; but give the rubs yourself!
6. Do that.
7. Take sweats occasionally, or work enough to get up a good sweat one - that would be more preferable; and then bathe in HOT water and have the rubs immediately while the body is in that condition where the body heat will absorb those conditions from without. Equal parts, Pine Oil and Olive Oil. This especially over the hips, over the small of the back, and throughout the sacral area; and DOWN each side, and especially the left side of the sciatic nerve.
8. But get up a good sweat; then the hot bath, then the rub - and the oftener this is done - that is, once a day - the better it would be.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How often should I take the adjustments?
    (A) Three times a week would be preferable, because it would require fewer of them - if the rubs and the heating of the body is carried on too. Of course, there will be the general treatments other than the particular adjustments in the 9th dorsal and the 4th lumbar, or the lumbar axis. Those, of course, through the upper dorsal and cervicals will be coordinated. These, of course, would be given with the body lying on one side and then the other. The adjustments in the 9th dorsal would be with the body lying on the back. No, that isn't the ordinary way, but it should be for this; for it should be from the front and from each side - with the body lying on the back. While those in the lumbar and sacral would be with the body lying on the face. Of course, the upper dorsal and the cervical may be assisted in their alignment with the body sitting up.
    We would do that.
11. We are through with this reading.
