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 the body.
2. EC: Now, while we have body functioning very good throughout, we find there are some abnormal conditions, and some which the body should be wary of at the present time, for the conditions tend to give that predisposition in the body that will give distresses more in the years to come than are giving at the present time. The conditions that need to be corrected have to do with certain functioning conditions, and with the conditions in nerve system that deflect the condition in its rebuilding portions in the body.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [3949], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find a circulation very well balanced in the coagulating elements, yet in that of the vital forces necessary to rebuild vitim in the body deficient. That is, that element in the hemoglobin necessary to create the rebuilding cellular forces in the body is deficient, produced by conditions, as we shall see, in the functioning in the body. There are other conditions that bear on this. The white blood supply normal. The heart's action through blood supply normal, save those conditions in the blood that are destructive to the elements in hemoglobin, body in blood supply very good.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find there are two specific conditions in the cerebrospinal centers where impingements give the deflection to the circulation, that in the 5th and 6th dorsal vertebra, and that in the 2nd lumbar vertebra, one deflecting the circulation in the pulmonaries, or that in the return of blood forces in the lung, the heart or through the carotid artery. This gives the depression that occurs in the lung forces at times and the depression as is caused, though the seat of this is in the nerve system and in the centers as govern these. The condition should be corrected, for the results will be organic conditions, though they do not exist at the present time. In the 2nd lumbar we have the deflection that produces the condition in the lower intestinal tract, also that as affects the kidneys in their excretory functioning. This being a specific condition produces or brings about the distresses that the body has at times through all of the trunk portion of the body. These have not as yet become organic conditions, though they may bring about that condition in the perineurium of the 2nd lumbar plexus that would be reflexed in all of the circulation in the right side of body. In the sympathetic nerve system this is very good, and the body gains much of its renewed energy in the body at present from the sympathetic forces, and this gives the greater nerve energy in the body at present. Do not overtax this, for there would be the collapse with these conditions as exist.
6. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, in brain forces very good. The body well balanced in mental abilities, and capable of developing far in the material world.
7. Sensory organism, and the organs in same, very good. The lungs proper under that condition, as given, as is shown also in the thyroid region. Digestive tract shows the strain of the condition in the lower portions of body and that reflex condition from the lumbar region.
8. Liver torpid in its action. The exercise and the sympathetic nerve system keeps the functioning as it does. The lower portion of the hepatic circulation and that condition in the colon itself, shows the reflex from the lower dorsal segments being and giving out that reflex force from an impinged nerve action. No organic conditions at present in the body. The strains come to the body in the blood supply from the condition existing in the kidneys and the bladder, and in the organs of gentation, this being produced by the system retaining in same those poisons as left by the segment or sediment from improper eliminations through these channels.
9. Then to bring the body to the normal forces would be to take into the system those properties that will give the correct incentives in the system through the circulation, through the stomach and intestinal tract, and correct by deep osteopathic manipulation those conditions in the lumbar region, and in the upper dorsal region, taking in the system these properties:
10. To 16 ounces of rain water add 6 ounces of ragweed, or Ambrosia Weed. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 8 ounces. Strain and add:

    Grain Alcohol...............4 ounces,
Balsam of Tolu..............1 dram,
Oil of Peppermint...........3 minims,
Tincture of Capsici.........1 minim.

    The dose would be teaspoonful twice each day, morning on arising and in evening before retiring.
11. With these corrections, and with the body keeping the adjustments, we will find the development of this body, [3949] will be to the normal and give the best development in self here.
12. Do that.
