TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, conditions are much improved from those which have been indicated in the system.
4. In the present, in the MAIN there are just inclinations or tendencies. And as we find it would be necessary that there be the continuation of the greater portion of that which has been indicated for the body, with some minor changes.
5. Then those inclinations and tendencies, and the causes, may be entirely eliminated by the earlier portion of the coming spring.
6. For as the body is still in that condition of development, the developments of organic functionings and activities of glandular forces through the system should not be hindered but coordinated in their activity; and such applications made as to cause the nominal, normal development and the eliminating of those inclinations or tendencies which have been indicated.
7. As we find, then, these would be kept.
8. First there should be still those periods when there would be the corrections carried out through the cerebrospinal system, and the adjustments still made so as to keep the perfect alignment along the cerebrospinal system entirely; especially in the ileac and the lumbar and lower dorsal plexus; coordinating, to be sure, the centers along the upper dorsal and cervical to meet same.
9. These may be made a little farther apart, - a week or such a matter; and there may be skipped portions of the treatments. But as the other applications are made, they act upon the various centers of the system as to stimulate or to rectify the inclinations for improper reactions in the glandular functionings and their coordination with the functioning of the organs.
10. There would be the necessity then for the adjustments to keep this attunement or alignment throughout the system.
11. We would keep the periods for the activity of the Gold in the system. But this may be put a little farther apart; that is, between the rest periods of the manipulations AND the application of the Wet Cell Appliance, allow a week to elapse before these are begun, - that there may be the reaction. But there is the need of this vibration in the nerve forces, - for the glandular forces, through the thyroid, the thymus, the adrenals and the activity of the lacteal ducts with the glandular forces of the assimilating system, - for the creating of the plasm or balance to make for the eliminating of disturbances which have caused, do cause the condition in the blood and in portions of the system as we have indicated.
12. Also we would add the Codiron, - this to be taken two tablets or pellets each day. For this body it is preferable that these be taken at or with the meal - one with the morning meal and one with the evening meal. Take them consistently throughout the rest of November, December, January, February, and to the 15th or 18th of March.
13. Do these, then, and with the precautions as to diet. Keep a well-balanced diet. Best that the dry milk form the greater part of the diet in that respect. However, by the first of the year there may be gradually added the raw or the prepared milk.
14. In the diet keep fruits and vegetables as the greater part, though - of course - fish, fowl and lamb may be as a part of the diet for the strengthening.
15. Keep the activities which have been indicated; and we should bring the better forces for this body and entirely eliminate the disturbing forces by the early spring - when there should be changes necessarily made for the conditions which would arise or be a portion of the general development.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Is she making satisfactory progress in overcoming the conditions for which she is being treated?
    (A) As has been indicated.
18. (Q) Her hair is very gray in patches. Will it regain its natural color?
    (A) With the iron and the cod liver oil, and the vitamins that will act with the system through the use of the Codiron, there should gradually be made a much better condition.
    Of course, keep the Atomidine occasionally.
19. (Q) Is there still pressure in the 6th and 7th dorsal? in the coccyx?
    (A) As indicated, there needs to be the relieving of those inclinations which are still existent, - through the greater portion of the next three to four months; but in periods, as at first indicated but allowing a week to elapse or longer between the periods in such direction.
20. (Q) Her tonsils seem to have become enlarged. There are times when they fill her throat and cause her voice to be very full. We don't want to have them out unless it is absolutely necessary.
    (A) There SHOULD be the ability through the manipulations to reduce these, by the right character of treatment and applications for same osteopathically; or the osteopathic surgeon making such treatments that these would be reduced and not necessitate their being taken out. For they have a function to perform, and it is well that these be kept in that manner - unless greater disturbance arises.
21. (Q) Who would you suggest to give these specific treatments?
    (A) The present osteopath or one that may be suggested by same for the specific treatment; for the two treatments would be coordinated, you see.
22. (Q) What specific treatment osteopathically? How should this be done?
    (A) Such is a part of each one's training, and should be kept in line with that; as to the manipulations for the head and neck, and especially the vagus center, as well as the applications LOCALLY for the reduction of the condition.
23. (Q) Could you give some idea as to how much time will elapse before she is normal?
    (A) The idea has been given - if the applications are made in keeping with the suggestions indicated.
24. We are through with this reading.

    (See separate sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for Osteopath.
    Codiron is manufactured by the Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill. It sells for $1 a bottle of 60 tablets, or $3 a bottle of 250 tablets.
    GD's memo: Codiron was later taken off the market.)

BACKGROUND

1. 11/05/38 Mother [1498]'s letter:
   "There are questions I would like to ask. [1490] seems much better. Her body covered very nicely this summer with a brown pigmentation, but there are still areas which are spotted.
   "She seems to be less nervous, and her stammering has almost completely disappeared. I feel she has made great progress. We have been very consistent in her treatments, first the osteopath, and then the battery [Wet Cell], and I have tried to follow her diet closely.
   "These are the questions concerning her: Is she making satisfactory progress in overcoming the conditions for which she is being treated? Could you give us some idea as to how much time will elapse before she is normal? Her hair is very gray in patches. Will it regain its natural color? Is there still pressure in the 6th and 7th dorsal, in the coccyx? Her tonsils seem to have become enlarged. There are times when they fill her throat and cause her voice to be very full. I don't want to have them taken out unless it is absolutely necessary. Should we continue the Atomidine? Will you please advise in as much detail as possible what her diet should be? Should she continue having dried milks?"

REPORTS

1. 11/28/38 Letter of Geo. J. Schoelles, D.O.: "I believe that [1490] is progressing nicely to an early cure and then I will have an interesting case report for you."
