TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [749].
2. Now, while we find the general physical conditions of the body apparently are very good, there ARE disturbances that may be corrected the more easily in the present than if they were allowed to become either constitutional or so localized as to cause a disturbance either in the cardiac circulation or in the venous and arterial - or veins and arteries themselves.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in the present with this body, [749] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. We find the BLOOD SUPPLY, so far as the elementals are concerned, is very good; though we find there are periods when there is a skip, as it were, in the pulsations. Not that there is an organic heart disorder, but rather have the muscles and those portions of the controlled system in the circulation between the arterial and venous become somewhat thinned by the lack of elements in the system that are produced through assimilations and through the activity of the glands themselves to cause this weakening. And we find there are specific centers along the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system where one portion of the ganglia will be relaxed and another rather taut, produced by this internal nervous reaction to those portions where the system (or the circulatory system) is not in perfect control. Hence we may say the katabolism and the metabolism are not in accord; though not a great deal of the metabolism is out of balance in the present, but there are periods when - through those reactions from the ducts and the glands that make for this unbalancing of the stamina in the very walls of the veins and arteries themselves - there is a lacking. Hence we will find periods when there are knots or globules or protuberances that appear along the limbs, the arms, and on the torso portion even at times do such spots or conditions occur. These are the attempts of the system, of course, to create and make for a balance in the body.
5. Then, ORDINARILY we find that a corrected diet and specific activity to the physical forces of the body would meet or overcome such conditions. These, as we find, WOULD be the more helpful reactions.
6. For, as we find in the deeper NERVE FORCES, these are those that arise from this glandular condition. Not diseased, but rather the inability - from that which has been assimilated - to create a normal balance in the system; that between the potashes and alkalines, the iodines and salts necessary to keep a normal activity in these portions themselves of the body.
7. The ORGANS themselves, only through those periods when there are distresses do they become distressed sympathetically.
8. Hence, for a warning, that there does not become a constitutional condition - or that the system attempts to adjust itself without there being the proper accord given in the proper stimulations in the proper directions for creating a more perfect functioning in the glands, and keeping a metabolism and katabolism in a more perfect order:
9. As we find, we would add to the system very small quantities of atomic iodine, in that called Atomidine, that we may make for better secretions in activity not only from the glands and ducts in the assimilating organs but the more creative forces for the stamina in the activity of the adrenals and the thyroids and the activities through the system, that will make for the creating of a balance. Never take more than one minim twice a day during the periods that such properties are to be taken. We would take it in periods of ten days, then leaving it off for five days, then take it for a period of ten days again. Then repeat the round whenever there are those feelings of the fullness that occurs at times in the body, as it were, of the internal and external circulation separating itself. One drop in half a glass of water twice a day.
10. But we would also have such adjustments and manipulations as to create a relaxation in the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area, and a COORDINATING of this relaxing and of this stimulation in the secondary cardiac plexus area and in the lower lumbar and sacral area; making specific corrections in the coccyx.
11. And we will find we will bring, in a little while, a much bettered condition for this body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Will you outline a diet for the body?
    (A) Beware rather of shell fish of certain natures, that produce the tendency towards irritation. Oysters or clams are good; fish of certain characters is very good; also lamb and fowl occasionally; wild game would be most preferable for the meats. No red meats. No fried foods of any kind. Keep a well-balanced diet that will make for the better assimilations; strengthening, of course, more in those things that carry phosphorous and iron - that are found much in those foods just indicated as well to use - or in greater quantity may be found in conch soup taken occasionally; this would be VERY good, especially.
14. (Q) What is the condition of the eyes, and what would you recommend for treatment?
    (A) As we find, when the circulations are stimulated, especially in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area, these would be materially aided. We would not, in the immediate, recommend other than those treatments outlined. For nature - or the body-building forces would be the greater corrective influence.
15. (Q) Are new eyeglasses recommended?
    (A) Not if these treatments outlined are taken immediately. Then, when these have had their reaction, it may become necessary - but we will find that then they will not be required stronger, but rather a little bit different in the cylindrical reaction or reflection for the optic nervous reaction.
16. (Q) Do the teeth require attention?
    (A) Some local attention, especially in the lower left hand portion; but these also - with their stimulation - will be materially aided; and especially when the iodine properties affect the system. For as there are the tendencies in the present for the calling upon the glands for their functionings through the activity of the system, that create those influences making for the elements of the teeth, the nails, the structural or cuticle portions in the system, there is a tendency to weaken the teeth, naturally. But the STIMULATION of these will bring new vigor, new circulation.
    Do these.
    As indicated, we would take the manipulations and adjustments preferably in periods of two to three a week for three to four weeks, then leaving them off for a like period, and then again. These would be found to be more helpful than continuing for long periods. Let the BODY REACT to that which is corrected. These are PREVENTATIVE measures, you see, and make for the corrective influences that will make a better influence in the body.
17. We are through for the present.

    (11/27/34 GD's note: Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Co., 64 Sydney Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y., but may be obtained at most any drug store - I think. Take as directed in reading, and not as on bottle. See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to be presented to Osteopath. GD.)

REPORTS

1. 7/29/34 "Yesterday, I had the eleventh treatment from Dr. Dobbins. He certainly is a regular chap. While the treatment prescribed for my ailment is new to him, he is just as interested as I am in trying to accomplish the desired results. Of course, it is too early to note any definite change in my case, and sometime in March I will have to impose on you again and ask that you give me a Check Reading. You know, I never felt bad, BUT I FEEL BETTER NOW."
2. 11/27/34 A.M. He obtained Physical Rdg. for his mother, Mrs. [748].
3. 12/01/34 He referred his sister Mrs. [755], and his brother-in-law, Mr. [776], for rdgs.
4. 10/21/54 GD's note: Mr. [749] is still on our mailing list.
