TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [953] - this we have had before. Conditions, as we find, are much changed since last we had same. While some have become accentuated, and the segregation of distressed conditions from the poor eliminations as have existed from those of the accumulations through the system of a disturbed kidney activity, of an overactivity in the pancrean region, of the accumulations in system of those poisons that come FROM same, the heaviness to the feet and the limbs, the tendency of the various activities that produce for enlargement of glands; these, with the activities of the body on feet, make for the greater distresses in the body.
2. WE would give that AGAIN would the body turn to more those of the vegetable compounds for the eliminations, and the appliance of those of the Radio-Active nature - properly applied, and keeping the drainages set up in system, would bring for the body the better conditions in same.
3. These, we would find, that PROPER manipulations, rather than just adjustments - but manipulations that set up drainages. While true that the removal of pressure from a plexus, or from a ganglia center, releases immediately the blood supply and aids same in gaining its equilibrium, but just as a stream dammed up and released, there is OFTEN caused distresses BY the large AMOUNT of accumulations, both as to the dross and as to sedatives left BY such flowing in the system. Hence, manipulations of an OSTEOPATHIC nature are the GREATER benefits in such conditions. Unless corrections are made properly, these must cause distresses through the lymphatic and the capillary circulation, as WELL as for the deeper internal organs. Ready for questions.
4. In making for the vegetable compounds, we would use as THIS in the present condition: Those of green ambrosia weed 6 ounces, to 16 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by simmering to just two-thirds of the quantity, see? Strain. Then add that of sassafras oil 20 minims, 1 dram Balsam of Tolu cut in 2 ounces of grain alcohol. Naturally, there will be the question - to those that could not know the full conditions of the body - why would alcohol be given in a system, where those of the pancreas are affected, for they must make for accumulations; but these are, with these compounds, changed into BENEFICIAL properties in the small quantity given, and will be beneficial. Also, they are the PRESERVATIVE for those of the vegetable forces. The dosage of this would be teaspoonful three times each day.
5. Let the diet be those of spinach, fish, celery, lettuce, whole wheat bread - no white bread of any kind; little or no tea. A little coffee may be taken occasionally, but not too much of same. No red meats. JUICES of same may be taken occasionally, but not where the necessity of those of the pancrean activity are brought into play. No sugars, when these are used; then, no pastries, or anything of that nature. Fruits may be taken, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit - these may be taken, or pomegranate may be included in it at times. These are very good for the system, and will aid in eliminations. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What can be done to dry up the excess secretions of the body?
   (A) This irritation comes from the accumulation of those conditions in the capillary circulation, and the body attempting to produce for the body an equilibrium - this is the disturbance as comes from same. These, as we find, would best be found in those of Lenoire's Eczema Remedy.
7. (Q) How relieve acute pain in legs and feet?
   (A) The rubber stockings would be well, or bands - would be well for these.
8. (Q) What volume of water or liquid should body consume per day?
   (A) Not more than six to twelve ounces.
9. (Q) Would lithia help kidneys?
   (A) Helps when draining same off, but should not be too much depended upon. Rather be dependent upon those conditions as may be set up by the manipulations, as has been described for the body; so that drainages come through their natural channels.
   Eliminations, or evacuations from the system through those of irrigations would be well for these; will RELIEVE the pressure on kidneys, and especially on bladder.
10. We are through for the present.

2. 6/32 We heard that Mr. [953] had gone to Texas on sick leave, only weighed 150 lbs., his strength left him. He died 4/28/33. [See below.]
3. 11/03/33 Mrs. [583]'s letter:
   He took Insulin about 6 weeks while in ... but it was too late then. It seems he had also developed a bad condition in his chest. None of us wanted a diagnosis, the mind can only carry so much and nothing could have been done about it anyway. He suffered no pain and apparently did not know he was so near the end when last he was conscious and that was a blessing.
