TEXT

HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes - we have the body, [1433].
Conditions are changed somewhat since we have last had it here. In some respects the changes in environment are very well; in others they are not so good. Much of that as may be accomplished will depend upon the attitude the body takes to the surroundings and the applications as may be made.
In the general physical forces, - these we find also show a great deal of change; some for good, some not so good.
One thing will be necessary, - that there is at least one movement each day from the alimentary canal; else the tendencies of the poisons to make pressures upon the sympathetic nervous system will be, and are, inclined to make for the palsied activities in the system to be increased.
Keep the applications of the Wet Cell Appliance with those properties indicated, in the manner outlined. Do not make too tight a connection with the body, but firm; and have the plates clean or polished before and after using.
The manipulative forces and massages should be kept very much in the manner as has been outlined; making or giving specific attention to the brachial center and the lumbar axis. And coordinate all areas where there is the particular coordination between cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system, - through the connections in the segments along the cerebrospinal system.
The massage for the limbs, as well as the locomotory centers, should be kept intact.
The diet should carry those things of a laxative nature, carrying some bulk and some activity of the system, as well as that which is body and blood building.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should the osteopathic treatments be given?
(A) Twice each week at least; three times when practical.
(Q) Is it necessary to continue the sinusoidal as suggested?
(A) It is necessary if there would be brought the better condition!
(Q) Should this be given just before the osteopathic treatment?
(A) Preferably.
(Q) Is the combination of peanut oil and olive oil the best solution for the massage?
(A) In the present; but do not depend upon these. Let these be merely as an aid in giving the massage. Give it in a circular motion.
(Q) Should the Toris Compound be continued?
(A) When it is needed, as we have indicated. Judgements are to be used as to these, - and give same according to the activity of the eliminations, see?
The sinusoidal is to be given much in the same way, except this works with the nervous systems more; while the ingredients in the medicinal compound, of course, work with the flow of the effluvia in the lymph circulation to cause greater peristaltic movement.
If it is needed, give it. If it is not needed, don't. Judgements are to be used, to be sure.
(Q) Should the Oil Packs be given regularly?
(A) They should; once a day, and for how long depends upon what is necessary, - whether an hour, ten hours, twelve hours or what! One hour is the usual time required for proper absorption. These should be continued each day until better eliminations are set up through the alimentary canal, and then repeated later as they become necessary.
(Q) Any suggestions regarding the environment or surroundings?
(A) As indicated, the response will depend upon the body's reaction to same. Naturally, this will depend upon how those about the body react to the needs of the body.

REPORTS

8/24/39 HLC'S letter to Mrs. [760]:
I don't know whether Mrs. [1433] wrote you about her contemplated change or not. Sometime ago she wrote dad that she was going back rapidly and wished there was some way to get her treatments followed until you could take over again. I suggested the only place I know which was a Mrs. White's Rest Home here at Virginia Beach. Mrs. [...] arrived a few days ago with a nurse who stayed two days and then went back. It seems that this woman, I don't know her name, has been give [given] charge of Mrs. [...]'s affairs. I talked with her and she knew you - perhaps you can identify her by this description. She is a person very much on the build of Mrs. [...] [wife of [1103]], light hair but with rather sharp features. She seemed to be rather jovial and interested in Mrs. [...]. Mrs. White has a nurse with Mrs. [...] constantly. She is evidently going to make a real effort to co-operate in following the readings.
I am trying to arrange to have all the treatments as recommended carried out, including the Sinusoidal, Osteopathic, Massage, Wet Cell Appliance, Diet, and Medicines.
Mrs. [1433] certainly thinks you pushed the sun up every morning and arranged the stars around the moon at night. I have never seen anyone who talks more enthusiastically about you, and I have heard a lot of such talking.
8/24/39 Brief by HLC for Witchwood Rest Home in treating Mrs. [1433]:

8/31/1939 GD's note: Osteopathic and Sinusoidal directions [to F. C. Hudgins Jr., D.O.] for treating: Mrs. [1433] Witchwood, Virginia Beach, Va.:
8/27/37 We would have the neuropathic or osteopathic adjustments and treatments; this about twice each week. [1433-1]
4/07/38 We would add the deep therapy - that is, the Sinusoidal with the reverse coil - to produce a better reaction through the eliminations; thus stimulating not only the activity of the kidneys and the liver and gall ducts but keeping the stimulations through the system. This we would give about once a week. It will also aid the body in making for better coordination between the sympathetic system and the cerebrospinal system.
The attachments would be to the secondary cardiac plexus and over the area of the emptying of the duodenum to the jejunum, or through the area of the lacteal duct as concordant with the activity of the gall duct AND the liver area itself, see? These treatments should not be too heavy, and should be begun rather with the lower than the too high voltage.
We find that these treatments would be better to be given BEFORE the manipulations osteopathically are given. [1433-4]
With the osteopathic treatments, stimulate more the upper cervical for the throat and throughout that area especially of the vagus circulation; AND the lumbar and sacral area - DEEPER! [1433-4]
6/10/38 We would stimulate especially the eliminating forces from the 5th and 6th dorsal to the lower portion of the lumbar area. These, of course, would be kept in coordinant activity.
In the application of the Sinusoidal treatments, we find these have NOT at each time been given as we have indicated. Too oft have these been allowed to run too high. The manner - that is, the mode or places of applications are very well; but not so high a current, see? For with the weakness, these tend to make for hardships upon the body. [1433-5]
8/24/39 The manipulative forces and massages should be kept very much in the manner as has been outlined; making or giving specific attention to the brachial center and the lumbar axis. And coordinate all areas where there is the particular coordination between cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system, - through the connections in the segments along the cerebrospinal system. [1433-8]
