TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1866] - this we have had before. Bettered condition in the general physical force, yet some distresses still being produced occasionally in the physical functioning, especially of the digestive system. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) What is wrong with stomach and what caused this trouble?
   (A) To give the cause of the trouble, it would only be necessary to combine that information as has been given in the last THREE reports given concerning the physical activity in this system. The inability to maintain a nominal reaction through the digestive system is that there has not been brought the normalcy between an acid and alkaline condition as has existed there. There is, as seen from that as has been given, the tendency for the system to remain over-acid, from the amount of elimination necessary to be kept within the body for the nominal or normal metabolism of the body. The metabolism as respecting this body refers especially to that condition as existent in the coordinating of the liver with the pancrean and duodenal juices of the stomach, and that digestion taking place in the upper portion of intestines themselves. Not all digestion takes place in the stomach. Merely as the passing through, is the preparation for assimilation in the system. In this body, especially, we find accentuations especially in the duodenal region, from the inactivity of the liver with the juices as are secreted by the pancreas and the action of the spleen, with the blood forces acted upon through hepatic, or especially in the upper hepatic circulation. The stimulation osteopathically of these centers has relieved, in part, the LOWER portion, yet the upper ganglions - especially of those radiating from the 4th and 5th dorsals, have NOT received the proper stimuli through the manipulations, and the soreness as remains in the right side indicating that the gall bladder in its activity is engorged, and with this naturally comes that retraction to the stomach, producing a fullness and an unpleasantness, and at times a burning sensation. This may, unless relieved, produce laceration and ulceration, and becomes very troublesome. We would apply with the manipulations (and these should be kept up for at least another ten to twelve treatments) those of the alkaline Petrolagar, alternated - or taken with same occasionally that of an intestinal antiseptic; that is in its reaction alkaline also. This may be found in that preparation known as Glyco-Thymoline. Take, then, every second and third day - second, then third day, see? those of five drops to half teaspoonful Glyco-Thymoline in water. Take at least a TABLESPOONFUL of the alkaline Petrolagar once each day. The manipulations kept up every other day, we should bring the nominal forces for this body. Adhering to the diet as has been outlined, and with the replenishing in the system, these will relieve these conditions, as we find them.
3. (Q) Are the treatments being properly given?
   (A) Change as we have outlined here. Stimulating more those centers from the upper - or farther up the - dorsal plexus.
4. (Q) What medicines -
   (A) Those as have been outlined here will be added to the system at present. We are through for the present.
