TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2376]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, the greater disturbances that exist with the body in the present are the OVERSTIMULATIONS by the adjustments made. These should be of the RELAXING nature, we find, and NOT of the stimulating nature.
4. The activities of stimulation for the circulation of both the central or deeper circulation and the superficial, as indicated for this body before, - the activities from the ganglia along the cerebrospinal system as related to the activities of elimination, - become as it were rasping upon the centers through the digesting or assimilating center of the oils and fats for the body.
5. Thus beginning at an area just about the lower portion of the liver and extending to the shoulder on the right side, and through the breast in the upper portion of the right side, we have the aching, burning sensations. These are from this stimulation that has been given too much to the area of the 8th and 9th dorsal, as well as to the 3rd and 5th cervical centers. If these are RELAXED they will be better, and we will find responses better.
6. We would take internally small quantities of Glyco-Thymoline once each day; three to five drops in half a glass of water.
7. Also once each day, just after the heavier meal eaten that day, take internally the Milk of Bismuth with Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in it. Take about half a teaspoonful of the Milk of Bismuth in three-fourths of a glass of water, stirred thoroughly, with six drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin stirred in same. This as we find will remove those tendencies through the whole of the alimentary canal to give the disturbance to the glandular forces in the body.
8. Do these and, with the general activities, we should find better conditions for the body.
9. When there are the particular pains, across the small of the back or at the top of the hips, or through the lower portion of the lungs, apply the equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor, with a pack of salt upon same AS the heat over same.
10. And then rest more. Don't try to do it all at once.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What is cause and relief for severe headaches?
    (A) The taxation to the stomach centers. Thus the applications given for better eliminations. If it is necessary, because of taking several doses of the Milk of Bismuth, take an enema - rather than too much of any cathartic, see?
13. (Q) Are my glasses fitted properly; if not, what correction should be made?
    (A) Glasses are very good, if the corrections osteopathically will just be made better.
14. (Q) Is it necessary for me to wear my glasses at all times?
    (A) Only when there's a tendency to be out in the open or in strong light, or when reading or writing.
15. (Q) Would exercises strengthen my eyes in such a way that I would not be forced to wear glasses?
    (A) If head and neck exercises are taken, and there's the correct adjustments in the cervicals - 3rd and 4th cervicals - you won't have to wear glasses - very soon they should be left off entirely.
    For this body, the head and neck exercise would be like this:
    Sit very erect - better sit down, not try to stand up and do this - either on the side of the bed or in an easy chair, but sit very erect. Then gently, slowly, circle the head three times to the left, three times to the right, forward three times, backward three times, to each side three times; then the circular motion right and left three times again.
    Do this twice each day.
16. (Q) What is cause and relief of the condition at times in my throat, head and back of neck?
    (A) As indicated, the inability - with the stimulations that have been given - for the assimilation of any forms of fats in the body. Remember, fats are not digested - they are strained, as it were, through the activities of the glandular forces; that is, those in the upper portion of the stomach, and then they are emptied into the circulation, slowly at a time. Thus not too much fats, but some butter, some cheese, these are very well for the body, as should be milk, malted milk and those of such natures that carry forms of fat that are taken into the assimilated forces rather than requiring digestion for same.
17. (Q) If osteopathic treatments should be continued, how often?
    (A) About twice a week, but DO NOT TAKE STIMULATING TREATMENTS!
18. (Q) What is the condition of my teeth? Are they causing any of the trouble?
    (A) Some of the trouble is causing the trouble with the teeth!
    As we find, we would keep a good massage with Ipsab, and then - after ten days of using this, daily - have the teeth corrected, locally. As we find, the upper back molar and one or two in the lower, especially on the right side, need some attention.
    Do these, but DO NOT TAKE STIMULATING TREATMENTS - RATHER THE RELAXING TREATMENTS!
19. We are through for the present.
