TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body, [2032].
3. Now as we find, some of the basic disturbances are from prenatal influence.
4. Yet, if there is the consistent and persistent application of corrective measures, - both as to physical structure and as to reflex action of organs AND the activity of the nerve forces, - we find that a great deal of help may be had; and, if there is the consistent application, almost normal forces brought for the body.
5. We find the indication of deficiencies in the hormones of the blood supply as related to the activities of the glandular system, especially as related to the sex activity of the organs and its relationships or coordinating or correlating with the activities of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve system.
6. Then, as we find, there are some adhesions in the lacteal and the umbilical center. These in the reflex action to the nervous system produce incoordination and spasmodic reaction, and at such periods give such distress to the head and to the activities of the mental forces of the body as to produce a grave reaction, - to say nothing of the effect that has been produced by some applications, as well as general conditions of lack of proper eliminations through the alimentary canal, and the coordinating of same with the other portions of the eliminating system.
7. Thus we find that poisons which should be carried out are carried in the perspiratory system, and the superficial circulation, or the external circulation becomes charged with those conditions that find expression over portions of the body.
8. Also we find there are subluxations which exist in the coccyx end of the spine, the lumbar center or axis, as well as in the upper cervical area.
9. These, with the glandular forces of the thyroid, the adrenals and the activities of the nerve forces, are the disturbing factors.
10. First, then, we would give that these applications be followed, - under supervision of such an one as William D. Taylor:
11. We would apply the heavy Castor Oil Packs for one hour each day (at the periods when there are the greater disturbance), over the liver and caecum, and extending over the umbilical area. These should be consistently used for an hour each day for three to four days.
12. Then begin with adjustments, at least every other day, in the coccyx and the lumbar and through the upper portion of the cervical area; COORDINATING the 9th dorsal plexus and the brachial and vagus center WITH such adjustments made.
13. After the first week of the adjustments, we would begin with taking Atomidine; one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken. Take it for one week, leave off for three days, then take again for another week; leave off then for a week.
14. And THEN begin taking a combination of Chloride of Gold and Bromide of Soda. Prepare these solutions separately and put together only when the dosage is to be taken. The Gold Solution would be in the proportion of one grain Chloride of Gold dissolved in one ounce of Distilled Water. Keep this separate as one solution. The Soda Solution would be in the proportions of three grains Bromide of Soda dissolved in one ounce of Distilled Water. This would be kept separate as the other solution. Then, each evening just before retiring, take one minim of the Gold Solution and one minim of the Soda Solution in half a glass of water, - that is, take this dosage the first evening; then each day increase each of these one minim until five minims of each are being taken. Then leave off entirely for a week.
15. Then begin with the Atomidine again; this to be taken one minim in water each morning for a week, left off for five days; and then the Gold Solution and Soda Solution taken again; keeping up the adjustments and other treatments as indicated.
16. If it is necessary for the better improvement of the eliminations, repeat the Castor Oil Packs; following same the SECOND time with about two tablespoonsful of Pure Olive Oil taken internally.
17. Keep away from too much of sweets, or too much of starches.
18. The green vegetables, and especially the juices of same, both cooked and raw, are better for the body.
19. These as we find will bring the better conditions for this body, [2032].
20. Ready for questions.
21. We are through for the present.

    Three copies to Miss [...] (one for the Mother, one for Mr. [257] if desired to send him one, and one for: Dr. Wm. D. Taylor, 29 So. Maple Terrace, East Orange, N.J.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (At your convenience we would appreciate a history of this case to the time of obtaining the Reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information. This is valuable for our records.
    See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil packs.)
