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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of this body since last we had same here. Most of these we find show considerable improvements.
4. In the present we find there are those disturbances which are causing anxiety, owing to the general weakened condition which at one time existed. There is the weakening of the cellular forces as related to veins on the lower limbs.
5. These may be materially aided WITHOUT operative measures. But if there is the continued necessity for using the limbs, or standing on them a great deal, or walking long distances and the like, without the time to give a chance for that as might be applied to react as a helpful influence, - then we find that the operative measures might become necessary - or might be better; though this would require a long period of rest, AND the disturbance as produced by same later would possibly cause more trouble than exists in the present.
6. Thus the body must of necessity choose for itself.
7. There are also those conditions that are not fully corrected in the muscular forces above the kidney, and across and below the kidney area. This is partially from toxic forces arising from a kidney disorder, and partially from the general conditions in the body.
8. As we find in the present, to remove the disturbance or to be benefited:
9. We would begin with osteopathic adjustments twice each week, until at least fourteen such treatments are taken; with special reference to the areas from which the lower limbs obtain their impulse for circulation, - that is, through the sacral, the lumbar, and even to the 9th dorsal.
10. When necessary for a lot of activity we would wear the elastic stocking over those areas.
11. Each evening before retiring, following a tepid bath - either a sponge bath, shower or tub - massage the body with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. Heat the Oil to add the Myrrh.
12. Do this, and with the general precautions as to diet, as to activities, we will make for better conditions.
13. If the varicose conditions become so serious as to BREAK, then it would be necessary to resort to operative measures.
14. Ready for questions.
15. We are through with this Reading.
