TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the body is very good physically in many respects, and that the general physical forces of the body function in near the normal way and manner.
4. These, then, are conditions as WE find them in the physical forces of this body, [3816], we are speaking of:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this near normal in its functioning, and the circulation is near normal in pressure and in elements.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find there are disturbances at times that cause some distress, in the abnormal functioning of nerve centers, and in this we find the abnormalities of a perfect functioning nerve system at this time. These conditions are not always present in the system, but are brought about, especially, at the periods, for in the lower lumbar there is found that the plexus - as is the center of radiation to the organs of the pelvis - throw off their incentives at too great a vibration or rate, so that when these occur the whole of the discharge is as centered, or discharged at once. In this we find, then, an irregular period in the menses, and this irregularity is rather of quantity than of the normal condition presented at regular periods.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in brain forces very good.
8. In functioning of the organs of the sensory system, these show the effect of the high nerve condition created at times in system, through the improper coordination between the sympathetic and the sensory system, as is seen by that pressure as created from the condition in and about the lower lumbar plexus, on the pineal gland and its nerve connection in the sensory system.
9. In throat, lungs, larynx, these are very good, save as of some harshness or congestion as exhibited at present of the temporary nature. Not deep-seated, but rather cold, congestion, and the increased circulation to these portions, only the discharge of used forces in the system attempting to adjust self. No organic condition is seen.
10. In the digestive system, this we find shows some signs of disturbances at times, produced from the sympathetic condition existent in the whole of the digestive system from purely sympathetic conditions.
11. Liver and pancreas, with hepatic circulation that is BELOW normal, shows rather the effect of the over sympathetic condition in body, than of distorted or disturbed digestive system, save as same acts through the effect of nerve condition, which tends to produce at times the inaction of the eliminations through the dross channels, and - without care - causes some distress at times to the body, though this is not in an abnormal condition at present. Only signs of same are seen in the condition existent through the colon and the lower portion of the intestinal digestive system.
12. In the functioning of the organs of the pelvis - this, with the disturbance as produced in the lower lumbar, shows the abnormal condition existent in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis. With the correction of those lesions as existent in the lumbar, and the added vibration necessary to bring the better functioning of the glands in the genitory [genital] system, these conditions would be overcome.
13. Then, we would apply that of the heat in the nature of wet packs, and then reduce the lesion in the lumbar by manipulation. This would necessarily take some time. At least twenty-six (26) adjustments should be made, making one or two (1 or 2) each week. Preceding the adjustment and treatment, each time, the body should be relaxed with the wet heat.
14. After the first thirteen (13) are given, begin then with taking small quantities of Chloride of Gold and the Bicarbonate of Soda, in these proportions:
15. Ten (10) grains of Chloride of Gold in ten (10) ounces of distilled water. Then, in another solution, make twenty (20) grains of Bicarbonate of Soda in five (5) ounces of distilled water. Add three (3) drops of the Chloride of Gold solution to half glass of water, and six (6) drops of the Soda solution to the water, and take as a dose at least once each day, until at least half the quantity is taken.
16. Do that.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What are the causes in this body that prevent the bearing of children?
    (A) That, as given, as exists in the lumbar region, where there was in times back - in the fifteenth (15th) year - some congestion produced by the condition existent then in the genitory system, by congestion from the attempts of body to suppress the menstrual flow, and congestion brought about lesion where an injury or wrench was seen in spine. Hence the system overflows, or empties, and prevents the body from becoming in that state of the bearing of children, through the manner in which the womb proper is positioned in the uterus, and this flow empties without taking that necessary to produce fertility in the body. Not the fault of the body. Rather that condition existent that prevents same from occurring. With the correction of the body by relaxation, and by correcting those conditions existent, the womb will assume its nearer normal position, and with the added vibration in the Soda and Gold, the genitory system and the lyden [Leydig] gland will function in its normal manner. L-y-d-e-n is the sealed gland that is opened when copulation takes place in the uterus, or the body becoming impregnated with the germ necessary to produce childbirth, or child bearing, and with the correction of these conditions this body will be able to bring forth that of children, see?
19. (Q) Should these treatments be given osteopathically?
    (A) Osteopathically. As given, first relax the body with the wet packs across the lower portion of the body - the whole lumbar and sacral region. Preferably, there would be heated cloths or towels laid over this portion of body for five to ten minutes, so that the (covered, of course) body is relaxed with this heat and the hot applications. Then, IMMEDIATELY, the manipulation for the adjustment and correction of lesions that will be found in the lumbar region, see? and upper sacral.
20. GC: That is all the questions.
21. EC: These conditions will be found, as has been given, and with the correction of same we will find the body will be near normal, and with these corrections we will find the body will function more normal, and the nerve system will coordinate more normal throughout the whole body of [3816], see?
22. We are through.
