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, [2028]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while there are great improvements in the general physical and mental reactions in the body, there is still much to be desired.
4. There should now be rather specific corrections made in the cerebrospinal system. These have been rather of the general nature, with the minor corrections.
5. Now we would make specific corrections in the coccyx, the sacral, the 4th lumbar, and in the 9th dorsal; coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical areas with same. The coccyx, sacral, lumbar and to the 9th dorsal, should be inclined upward, or FROM the end of the spine; while those from the base of the brain downward would be rather TOWARD the 9th dorsal.
6. Keep up the applications of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying the Gold, to aid in adding the nerve vibrations to the body. Now, with the beginning of these osteopathic adjustments of the specific nature, - we would alter the attachment of the small copper plate. At one period attach it to the 4th lumbar, the next period to the upper portion of the 9th dorsal. Have the osteopath point out and mark these places, so that the attachments may be rather specific. Continue the attachment of the large nickel plate, however, through which the Gold passes vibratorially, to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus.
7. The rest we would keep much in the order as has been indicated.
8. A gentle exercise or massage each time the bath is given is helpful. We would give this massage every day, using an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil, - just what the body will absorb. In this we will enable the muscular forces to be strengthened AS the corrections and coordinations are made along the cerebrospinal system, that will enable the body to sit alone, eventually to walk, and the coordination of the sensory forces with the body.
9. Do that.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Have all treatments been followed correctly?
    (A) We are changing these, and these it will be necessary to follow in the present.
12. We are through with this reading.
