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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2623].
3. As we find, there are definite conditions that cause the disturbances with this body.
4. These have been existent for some period, and those pressures have produced a deflection of activities, until we have something of a complication of disturbances affecting the organic conditions in portions of the body. Yet we find that these may be materially aided. It will require time and persistence, but these if allowed to run on, as in the present, will produce a different condition entirely - and losing use of limb.
5. Then, these are the conditions as we find them in this body, [2623] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. The blood supplies indicate a weakening of the vital energies of the body, through complications, the lack of proper diets and assimilation, and the infections - or the lack of purifying of the blood as should eliminate the uric acids from the body.
7. These also are beginning, through the poor circulation, to thin the walls of the veins AND arteries in the lower extremities, - which is indicated by the settling of blood in the extremities, especially the left.
8. In the nerve forces do we find the sources of the disturbance with this body. This body HAS been a patient sufferer for some time. Here we find - in the 9th and 10th dorsal, yes to the 7th and 6th - an injury, received some time back, that has made a pressure upon the nerves to the cerebrospinal center that deflects the activity to the kidneys, as well as to the lower extremities. These have gradually impoverished, - not sufficient to cause a wasting away, but as to cause distresses in the nerve forces as to the ends of the bone, - as in the knee, in the hip, and to the sciatic nerve. These have for long periods given distresses. Also these have brought about the disturbances to the activity of the lower portion of kidney, the activity to the bladder as well as the prostates, - as to not only cause anxiety but at times disturbance and distresses.
9. These as we find are the sources of the disturbance.
10. In the functioning of organs themselves, - all are under stress; as the whole of the blood supply, the lymph supply depleted, as well as the activities through the body.
11. Organically, - only those deflections as produced to kidneys, that also will and do reflect in the circulation between heart, liver AND kidneys.
12. Thus an irregular pulsation.
13. When there is inflammation, these may cause sepsis in some portions of the body functioning, and thus produce a character of poison that would be hard to cope with.
14. Then, in making activities to be beneficial for this body, first have a series of osteopathic corrections; with special interest and attention given to the area from the 6th dorsal to the end of the spine.
15. Have these adjustments twice each week for the first series of twelve to fifteen. Then rest for one week, or two weeks - from the treatments, or leaving off four treatments.
16. Then they may be taken farther apart, but keep them up after that once a week for at least ten to fifteen weeks.
17. After at least six osteopathic adjustments are made, to aid in equalizing the circulation, begin with the use of the low electrical forces of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying the healing properties to the body vibratorially of Atomidine and Camphor, alternately; one used one day, the other the next. The Appliance would be used thirty minutes each day, you see, one day with the Atomidine, the next day with the Camphor.
18. The attachments would be made as follows:
19. When using the Atomidine, - the copper plate would be attached to the LUMBAR axis, while the larger nickel plate, through which the Atomidine passes vibratorially (in the proportions of one ounce of Atomidine to two ounces of Distilled Water), would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus - which on this body would be four fingers from the navel center to the right, and two fingers above that point, see?
20. The next day, when using the Camphor - commercial strength Spirits of Camphor, - the copper plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal plexus, while the larger nickel plate, through which the Camphor passes vibratorially, would be attached also to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus.
21. Continue alternating the attachments in this manner from day to day.
22. Every thirty days change the solution that charges the Appliance. Also every thirty days change the Camphor and Atomidine solutions.
23. Do not allow the connections to remain in the solution when not in use, else these will disintegrate to the body the charging properties of the chemicals therein.
24. Then the diet:
25. At least once each week have a small Jerusalem artichoke, this cooked in Patapar Paper - the juices in same mixed with the artichoke when it is prepared to be eaten. Have one about the size of a hen egg, at least once a week, with the meal.
26. Fish and fowl as meats may be taken in moderation.
27. Do not overeat, but keep plenty of carrots and celery especially in the diet; also cooked rutabaga and turnips - but these NOT cooked with fat meats - though butter may be used in the preparing of same.
28. Water cress, all forms of salads WITH dressings may be taken.
29. Well that there be - in the beginning of these treatments - at least two colonic irrigations, scientifically given, to purify the colon area. Do use antiseptics when these are given. Have them at least ten days to two weeks apart.
30. Do these, and we will bring bettered conditions for this body.
31. Ready for questions.
32. (Q) What can I do for my bowels?
    (A) With this change as would be wrought by the correcting of these conditions, we will find much better activity, much better and nearer normal eliminations, being brought about.
    Do have at least two colonic irrigations during the first three weeks of beginning the osteopathic treatments, you see.
    Do these things, and we will bring the much nearer to normal conditions, and we will prevent SERIOUS troubles later on.
    Begin these osteopathic corrections at once.
33. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to self (one to be taken to Dr. Frank Dobbins, 551 Fifth Ave., New York City)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for hydrotherapist in giving the colonic irrigations. As only two of these are required, perhaps Dr. Dobbins can recommend someone to give them. Otherwise, we would refer you to H. J. Reilly, The Reilly Health Service, 1250 Sixth Ave., N.Y.C.
    See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of the Wet Cell Appliance, also extra sheet of specifications to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., who will make up this Appliance for you according to these specific directions.
    Jerusalem artichoke should be on the market now; if not, it may be ordered from John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin - for a few cents a pound. Keep a supply of them stored in the earth - as in a flower pot - NOT in the icebox. They will soon wither unless kept in the earth.)
