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 the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes. Now, we find while there are conditions that are disturbing and are distraught to the physical forces of the body, yet these are of a natural consequence with that as has been existent in the body for some time back, and with the change taking place. As for that as produced - through the genitory system, and as gestation shows in the system, the disturbance to the whole system, the temperature as produced by this gestation to an overwrought nerve system, and the general upsetting to the mesenteric system, these produce the complications as exist; and the nausea, the condition in and of the mesenteric system, are the reflexes from that overwrought, overtaxed, system, through this condition.
3. To bring the better, the more normal conditions for the body, would be to have the body REST as much as possible, without being distraught by outside forces or influences - and this does not mean by being left alone, or not being minded as to those conditions of hysteria that appear at times with this distraughtness; yet too much is easily done.
4. Rather would the massage, osteopathically, bring the normal flow to the system in making, as it were, the whole body correlate itself in circulation, and in bringing about nearer equalization of the elimination and distributing forces as are upset, with the changes taking place through these portions of body.
5. Giving those mild emits to the body that will reduce the nausea, and that will bring better conditions in the mesenteric system.
6. Use, then, whiskey that has been BURNED; that is, the alcoholic contents, and only having the grain producing forces for the body. Burnt whiskey, then, with very little water in same.
7. Manipulations along the whole nervous system, especially that of the lower portion of the lumbar and the lower dorsal, and relieving pressure at the brain entrance, or 1st and 3rd cervical, until there is coordination with the glands of the base of brain with the central brain of body, or solar plexus, and the plexus of the lower lumbar.
8. These will bring the quicker, the better condition for the body.
9. Using at times, to reduce temperature, and to rest, the alcoholic rub for the spine. This will reduce, see?
10. Give treatments daily. Not severe, except every second or third day give the deeper manipulation. Rather the gentle massage every day - these deeper manipulations added every second or third day.
11. The properties to bring better condition internally (burnt whiskey) may be taken sips every two hours, and there may be added when necessary those of equal parts limewater and cinnamon water, with two to three drops of ten percent solution Bromide Potassium, see? Do not use this unless the nausea increases from present condition.
12. The diet should be rather that of stimulants, and DO NOT overload or tax the system by forcing to eat. Broths or any STIMULATING diet.
13. Do that, and we will find we will bring the better and the normal conditions about for this body, [4496]. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Is the condition such that it will be necessary to wire regarding the treatment?
    (A) As given, the conditions are very troublesome, very aggravating, and there are complications. DO NOT have any condition prepared or done for body until these are carried out as has been given, see?
15. (Q) How often should she take the burnt whiskey, and how much at a time?
    (A) As given, about every two hours she may be given sips - teaspoonful to two teaspoonsful. But do not give it raw! Burnt! Do not want the alcohol in system to add to the inflammation.
    The condition, as we see, is that of a complex condition set about by system not being able to adjust itself to the eliminations and the building forces necessary, and pressure produced on the glands from the genitory system and base of brain. Hence the temperature, the nausea, the hallucinations, or the ATTEMPT to become rather hysterical, see? Pressure along nerve centers.
    These do not coordinate. Hence the gentle manipulation every day - deeper manipulation second or third days, see?
16. We are through for the present.
