TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1446], present in this room.
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better normal activity of the organs of the assimilating system, the digestive system, and those as related to the functioning of the organs through the pelvis.
3. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1446] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. In the blood supply we find the effects of disturbances through the gall duct area or the assimilations as related to the activity of the upper hepatic circulation, and the effect in the superficial circulation indicated by a disturbance that occurs at times in portions of same.
5. The activities as related to the eliminations also arise from this activity that prevents the normalcy and produces conditions in the extremities and in portions of the body through the circulatory system; as well as making for pressures upon the nervous system between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic, especially in those areas between the 9th dorsal and the lower lumbar areas.
6. In the activities of the organs themselves, as we find these ALL, to be sure, come under distress by the very nature of the disturbances through the circulation and the assimilation and the glandular effect as produced by these disturbances; as well as for the activities in the lower portions of the hepatic circulation that cause some reaction in the bladder, the kidneys and the pelvic area.
7. These produce then the acidity that makes for irritations at times to the body.
8. As we would find, then, in making applications that would relieve the system of the disturbances:
9. First we would apply or use the Toris Compound as a corrective and an eliminant for the activity of the alimentary canal. We would prepare this with the Spirits Frumenti (or Whiskey) rather than with the Simple Syrup, one ounce; using the one ounce of the Syrup of Sarsaparilla that goes with same. The dose would be a teaspoonful four times each day. Just one quantity should be sufficient, if the deep manipulations and corrections are given as we will indicate.
10. After the full quantity has been taken, begin with enemas to relieve the distresses in the colon area from the activities of these upon the system.
11. Then after resting for a week, begin with corrections Osteopathically, between the shoulders and especially at the 9th dorsal and 4th lumbar center. These as we find would require at least eight to ten such treatments and adjustments. Give these about twice each week, until ten or twelve are taken. Then rest a period, and we should find this should be sufficient to correct; but be mindful of the diets and keep the douches as we will indicate, for relieving those pressures that cause the acute conditions, but the GENERAL condition must be the corrections Osteopathically.
12. When the Osteopathic treatments are begun, begin also with taking Atomidine internally. Take one minim (one drop) in half a glass of water before the morning meal for five days; leave off five days and then take again; and repeat this procedure for at least three successive periods.
13. Also we would find it well to use the Atomidine douches, for the irritation through the pelvic organs. These should be body-temperature. Do not have the water cooler than body-temperature, nor very much higher. Test same, not by hand but by thermometer. That means ninety-eight and a half to one hundred or a hundred and one, not above that. The proportions would be a teaspoonful of the commercial strength Atomidine to half a gallon of water. Give these at least every other day, but if there is ACUTE disturbance they may be taken oftener.
14. When there are acute pains across the bladder, then we would apply hot packs of heavy salt. First paint the area, though, with a combination of three parts Laudanum to one part Aconite, which as we find would give relief. Then apply the heavy salt, heated and put in a sack or bag, of course. These we find will relieve and bring the better conditions for this body.
15. In the diet: This must be rather in keeping with that which has caused the disturbance. Beware of those combinations where fried foods of any kind are taken. White bread should be discarded. Combinations of potatoes, spaghetti or spaghetti and tomatoes together should not be taken by the body. Roasted potatoes or those with the jackets and rather the jacket and that close to same eaten, rather than the bulk of the potato, would be well. To be sure, in the activities of the system carry plenty of those things that would make for weight through the system; or stewed fruits, as prunes, figs, raisins and the like. These should be a portion of the diet each day. DO NOT combine citrus fruits and cereals at the same meal.
16. Do these and, as we find, we will bring the near to normal conditions for this body.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What causes the burning in the bladder? Can it be cured?
    (A) The irritations that arise from the super amount of acidity in the system. Using the douches as indicated, correcting the conditions in the upper hepatic circulation, we will find a great deal of help in these directions. This has not localized, and is constitutional.
19. We are through for the present.
