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 he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [584].
3. Now as we find, in the general or main conditions, the body is much improved.
4. However, there are disturbing conditions, - even as we have first intimated or given as the basis or the cause of the greater anxiety; the inability of the glandular force, through that portion of the activity to produce that to reduce sugar in the system, or the activity of the glands as work with same.
5. If there is the adherence to the suggestions here given, we will find that the body will continue to keep on the improve as regards these conditions.
6. We would use the Atomidine occasionally for the clearing of the condition through the prostate AND the areas through the urethra, of the penis. As has been indicated, take one minim in half a glass of water before breakfast for five days, then leave off. And as to how soon this would be taken again would depend upon the reactions through the urethra itself.
7. About twice or three times a week take sufficient quantity of the JERUSALEM artichoke; the quantity taken at the time depending upon the activity or the RESPONSE of this through the kidneys as related to the bladder and the activity of the uremic poisoning caused from the accumulations from this activity. One time take the artichoke cooked, the next time raw. This will produce sufficient of the insulin [inulin?] (that is the greater active principle of same) to cause the pancrean activity to assume its normal reaction.
8. Of course, refrain from great quantities of fats or sugars, or things that tend to make a hardship upon the pancrean activity.
9. These do.
10. And, about once a month have a test of the condition by one that would make a CORRECTION, osteopathically, in the cerebrospinal system; as has been first indicated, this is in the 9th dorsal center, that aids the impulse for the activity through the pancrean system.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) It is not necessary to take insulin, outside of that contained in the Jerusalem artichoke?
    (A) As indicated, NOT necessary, IF there is the refraining from the eating of fats, you see, and sugars. The artichoke will supply sufficient of the insulin to cause the proper activity through the pancreas.
    About once a month, have an OSTEOPATHIC adjustment; and have such an one make the test for sugar also.
13. We are through with this reading.
