TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1788]; this we have had before.
As we find, in the general manner developments are very satisfactory; while there are those tendencies for an overrichness in the foods - from some effluvium from the richness of the milk products taken. This is indicated in the rash. It is also partially due to the character of eliminants used as an aid in making for bulk AND for growth to the body.
In the present we would use the Castoria in small doses, about fifteen to twenty drops every half hour, until there are GOOD eliminations.
Then give the body a heaping teaspoonful of Eno Salts in a glass of water. This is to flush the system.
Then we would have at least two to six osteopathic adjustments with special reference to those areas in the 6th and 7th dorsal center. These are the areas for the controlling of the stomach, or the emptying of the stomach AND the activities through the alimentary canal and colon.
We find that the use of the re-enforced cereals, both dry and cooked, would be most beneficial. Also broiled or boiled fish, well prepared, would be most beneficial in supplying nutriment, especially if it is at times salt water fish rather than altogether fresh water fish, see?
The Peanut Oil rubs, we find, will aid in better appetite, better growth, and better activities throughout the body.
Especially through the periods of the winter, we would use ADIRON as an appetizer and as a builder-upper for the better resistances in the body. Give one tablet each day, preferably with the evening meal.
The suggestions given to the body as it goes to sleep, that he will be aroused and refrain from bed wetting, will apply better if it is given to the subconscious of the body as it begins to sleep, - rather than an attempt to apply medical aids or other than just the osteopathic adjustments needed for the general condition in the system.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would pre-kindergarten school be alright for him now, or is he too young?
(A) It would be alright to begin with same. This is necessary as a part of the general training. But the out of door or horticultural activities are the things best fitted for this body.
(Q) Any foods to be added to or removed from his diet?
(A) Those as suggested are the helpful foods. Re-enforced cereals, both cooked and dry; AND fish.
As indicated, remove too much richness in the milk - and in those things that have been given as an aid for the heaviness in the food. Cut down on the quantity of this.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

2/04/42 Mother's letter: "[1788] is fine and chewing his Adiron every day. He takes anything! He's a very good boy and WE THINK very bright for his age. He is very interested in things mechanical and manipulates his fingers like Mother [601] did. He's very much like her."
