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 had this body before.
3. As we find, conditions have not developed as satisfactorily as they should with this body. There have been periods when the body has improved and then, with not the proper precautions as to diet or activities, the body has the troubles with the headaches, the conditions that have arisen through the system apparently return.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What is causing the pimples on my face to become worse and what can possibly be done to clear this up entirely?
   (A) Lack of proper eliminations. Have prepared these properties to be taken internally:

   Sulphur...............1 tablespoonful,
Cream of Tartar.......1 tablespoonful,
Rochelle Salts........1 tablespoonful.

   Mix these thoroughly together, as with mortar and pestle, so that each mineral content of the properties becomes combined. Then each morning before breakfast take a level teaspoonful of the mixture, either dry or in water. Take this for five days in succession, then leave off for a week and take again, and so on until the whole quantity has been taken - and even a second quantity may be prepared and taken. This as we find should be sufficient, if the massages or the osteopathic corrections are given properly. These given as stimulations and not towards the relaxing or eliminating are more of a disadvantage than an advantage to the body. Have these given properly.
   Throughout the period that the Sulphur mixture is being taken, be careful that the body does not get damp or the feet wet, or get caught in the rain, or the like, for this would be very harmful. Do not go in bathing while these properties are working through the system. Not that the body shouldn't take a bath, but do not get damp or wet or let the body remain damp.
6. (Q) What caused me to have such terrible pains in my head while taking treatments from the osteopath?
   (A) Because of the nature of the treatment! These should be relaxing, NOT stimulating! They are to set up drainages, not to increase the congestions! Until there are better eliminations the body will still have disturbance.
   For the areas where there are the disturbances from superfluous hair, we would use an ointment that may be prepared in this manner:

   Cocoa Butter..............3 drams,
Calomel...................2 grains,
Epsom Salts..............20 grains.

   Mix these thoroughly, as with mortar and pestle. Massage this mixture gently in the areas and after leaving on for fifteen to twenty minutes, rub off. This used as an ointment will remove hair without injury to the body. To be sure, calomel has mercury in it, and this is a poison, but with this combination and in this quantity there is not sufficient for a body to absorb enough to become detrimental to the body-forces.
   After this is used, as the base for a better skin condition use the Genuine Black and White Cream. Do not shave off, do not attempt to bleach or dye, but use this mixture in the manner indicated.
7. (Q) Were any corrections necessary to be made by the osteopath?
   (A) Not corrections - the relaxing treatments should be given, not trying to make adjustments.
8. We are through with this Reading.

   Two copies to Self (one for osteopath)
   Copy to Ass'n file
   Two under case number for indexing
