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: We have those impressions here of those about the body, [2525].
3. As we find, there are conditions that must be considered from the pathological and psychological affects that are produced in the body.
4. While the pathological conditions are of such natures that there is incapacitation, there must be the efforts on the part of the body-forces to react TO administrations as may be made.
5. This, then, as we find, will require that those making the administrations assist, consistently, in making the surroundings such as would cause the body, mentally as well as physically, to desire to react to improvements in a physical manner.
6. These, then, ar disturbances as we find them with this body, [2525]; we are speaking of:
7. In the blood supply, since there have been the changes in the eliminating forces of the body and some glandular disturbances, the reactions have been lacking in the vital energies necessary to create that vital force in the locomotories of the body. And these have become magnified in the psychopathic reactions, until there is weakness through the locomotories - and even to the extent as to involve the conditions of the nerves in the back, the hips and the limbs.
8. As we find, these would be the administrations to make in the present:
9. First, - have a general mechano-therapy treatment in the way of osteopathic adjustments.
10. The treatments in the beginning must be gentle, with a great deal of massage with peanut oil as th base, - for the supplying of nutriment to the muscular forces in the areas from the upper dorsal, even to the 9th dorsal of the spine, and across that area especially of the 9th dorsal and lumbar axis. Also extend this along the sciatic center to that area even below the knee.
11. Have at least three of these treatments each week, with the osteopathic adjustments through the areas indicated, as well as in the cervicals that would not be rubbed so much with the peanut oil.
12. At least once each week, for at least four weeks, or until there are no indications of mucous from same, give the high enemas. Have this done by a professional, and let it not be attempted by one not understanding same.
13. Each day we would give vitamin B-1 in such quantity to supply the necessary forces. We find that this may be best found in that compound called ADIRON, which carries other elements of iron and phosphates. Take one pellet with each meal.
14. Also at each meal we would give as much as a teaspoonful of beef juice. This will also carry the vitamins that give strength to the body.
15. Do these - all of these, in the manner indicated - for the next six weeks. Then we would give further instructions - if there is the coordination and cooperation with the body-forces and mind of the body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) How may we get this cooperation?
    (A) Read what has just been indicated! It should be a part of the business of those, or that one making the application for the adjustments and rubs.
18. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to Husband (one for the Osteopath. We would suggest Dr. T. R. McLean, Popham Hall, Scarsdale, N.Y.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Pure Beef Juice.
    ADIRON is manufactured by The Lawrence Laboratories, Chicago, Ill., and sells for $1 a bottle of 60 tablets. According to the Readings, it is the best balanced vitamin tablet on the market.
    When all treatments have been followed for six weeks, let us know so we may make an appointment for a Check Reading to give further instructions.
    At your convenience let us have a history of the case to the time of obtaining the Reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information.)
