TEXT

1. EC: Yes. (Quite a narrow escape there).
2. We have the body, [1169]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there have been improvements in the general physical forces of the body. However, in the present the recuperations have not been so fast, and there have been the feelings at times of a reverting to the general tendencies for the general weaknesses.
4. We would make for the further eliminations by the use of the colonic irrigations. Also we would have those adjustments in the lower lumbar and throughout the dorsal area, with the congestions continued to be removed.
5. For the conditions where there have been in times back the separations of the fold in the abdominal area, or the hernia, we would massage same gently each evening - when the supports are removed and the body ready for retiring - with equal portions of Olive Oil, Tincture of Myrrh and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. Heat the Oil and add the Myrrh and the Benzoin. Not too hot but sufficient that the Oil and the Myrrh will come together. These will separate afterwards, but when these are ready for use, shake together and then massage gently over the lower abdominal area. And we will find this will relieve the tension, it will aid in making for an easing throughout those portions of the system that have caused and do cause great distress at times when long on feet.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What caused defect in hearing and how can it be remedied?
   (A) This as we find is a portion of the general depletion of the system as well as a catarrhal disturbance in the circulation, especially in the eustachian tubes. And these show for some congestion. This has made for an unbalancing in the equilibrium or balance in the inner ear. And these produce the disturbances as we find.
   The osteopathic adjustments through the finger surgery would remove these and aid to bring back at least twenty percent of the hearing; that is, that more than is heard at the present.
   These would require one treatment and then general treatment for three to four weeks, and then after six to ten weeks the second breaking up of the lesions there.
8. (Q) What causes itching at rectum and how can it be corrected?
   (A) This as we find is a portion of those general disturbances that have been indicated in the poor eliminations and the engorgements in the colon area as has been outlined.
   With the removal of these pressures, with those general treatments these should gradually adjust themselves.
   For the itching there may be used Tim, that would aid in relieving the tension through the folds of the portions of the lower intestines and the sphincter centers be so revibrated by the melting of same in those areas as to bring relief.
9. (Q) How often should colonics be taken?
   (A) These should be taken whenever there are not the normal eliminations through the alimentary canal. Not sufficient that they produce a great strain upon the body but sufficient that the poisons from poor circulation, that are being stimulated by the manipulative forces and by those activities as indicated for the body, are eliminated in a greater and better way and manner. Do not have hot water, but the temperature of the body and with salines would be the better.
10. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) Follow those instructions and those applications as indicated and we should find that we will bring better conditions for the body even than indicated in the first few days that those corrections were. It requires time, it requires patience, it requires persistence, but these will aid a great many of activities for the body, relieving distresses and giving the greater opportunities for real activity.
11. We are through for the present.
