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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2336].
3. Now as we find, rather would there be warnings as respecting the physical disturbances that are tendencies or inclinations in the present; for these without correction may bring about a great deal of disorder that might become hard to combat.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2336] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. In the blood supply we find the inclination towards a form of anemia; this arising from a glandular disturbance that makes for an irregularity in the circulation. This primarily is a thyroid disturbance, but affects also the assimilating system.
6. Hence we find this irregularity in the pulsations in the present. This without correction may gradually cause other disturbances.
7. In the nerve forces of the body, from the conditions existent as related to glandular force, there naturally arises the conditions that cause fear - as it may be termed; or at times a great deal of IRRITATION. Yet the body subjugating same produces that fear, and the contributory conditions to the upsetting of the assimilating system.
8. Through the subluxations that exist in the areas from the 9th dorsal to the lumbars, we find disturbances that also are of a DEEPER irritating nature, affecting the activities of the organs of the kidneys. This to be sure is the combination, or complication, arising also from ANY - even as mild as this - thyroid disturbance.
9. Yet we find that all of these my be eliminated from the system.
10. These as we find have not as yet so taxed the system that there may be said to be other than a sympathetic FUNCTIONAL disturbance of the organs, - and these arise spasmodically, as others periodically, in the general reactions and eliminations of all natures from the system.
11. In making for the corrective forces then for this body, the various natures of disturbances are to be taken into consideration.
12. First we would begin with the osteopathic adjustments. Though not necessarily a great number, these must be THOROUGHLY done; with a relaxing and not a stimulating treatment. There should be an adjusting in the lumbar, sacral and the lower dorsal areas, but STILL of a relaxing nature rather than a stimulating nature.
13. About six of these should be sufficient, but take them at least one week apart.
14. We would begin at the same time with the compound known as Tonicine, which carries not only a corrective measure as related to the glandular forces of the thyroids, but also for the activity of the pelvic organs in their inflammation and their disturbance, as to make for corrective measures in same. The dosage would be about two-thirds of a teaspoonful (not more) each evening when ready to retire. This may be taken as indicated, either with other liquids or direct.
15. The Tonicine is to be taken in combination with the osteopathic corrections, you see. Do not take on without the other; and BEGIN the osteopathic corrections before the Tonicine is begun - that is, let there be one or two treatments first, you see.
16. When there has been the completion of the adjustments, and the course of the Tonicine - which would be throughout the six-week period of the adjustments, - then rest a week from all of these.
17. THEN begin with the use of the Violet Ray, but ONLY using the rod applicator that is held in the hand - though in this case it would be used on the foot also. Lay this anode or connection upon glass before setting the foot (bare foot) on same; while the other times it would be held in the hand. Use this each day as the body rests or sits, for at least five minutes; alternating it about the body, - that is, right hand one day, the left foot the next, the left hand the next, the right foot the next, and then commence over again.
18. In the matter of the diets, - keep a regular well balanced diet, preferably; but keep away from any fried foods. Have a great deal of fruits and raw vegetables; those that are cooked as well as raw.
19. And doing these, we should bring the normal forces for this body, [2336].
20. (Q) What causes craving for candy?
    (A) The thyroid disturbances.
21. (Q) Is candy harmful?
    (A) Only those that are not of the cane sugar nature are not harmful. Those of other natures are not harmful, if taken in moderation.
22. (Q) What causes constipation and how can this be corrected?
    (A) This will be corrected with the reducing of the subluxations in the lumbar and sacral area, and the stimulating of the glandular force by the relaxing of the tautness along the cerebrospinal system.
    To be sure, in making the corrections, the corrective measures are in the lumbar, sacral and lower dorsal, though the relaxing and coordinating of same would be through the upper dorsals as well as cervicals. And these will aid in stimulating better peristaltic movements through the whole of the alimentary canal.
23. (Q) What osteopath would you suggest?
    (A) Anyone who would work with the suggestions here indicated, and AS indicated. Give these to the osteopath and say you want it this way; that if it isn't to be done this way you don't want it at all!
24. (Q) What can be done for varicose veins?
    (A) The general massage as we have indicated, stimulating the general circulation, will be the most helpful force for this in the present.
25. (Q) Please suggest exercises, routine, or best methods to use in normalizing body weight.
    (A) Those things as indicated here should first be done; THEN, when the body-physical forces are corrected, we may give the best. But let's get first things done first!
26. (Q) What can be done to eliminate dandruff?
    (A) Use Listerine at one shampoo, Lavoris at the next. These will eliminate dandruff.
27. (Q) Any spiritual advice?
    (A) Would you tell a rose to be beautiful, or a lily to be sweet? As to these, - just keep that attitude, and don't let LITTLE things upset you!
28. We are through for the present.
