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.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the body very good in many respects. Rather had the body be warned as regarding conditions that are weak or susceptible to the various conditions that may or might arise from indiscretion, or from conditions not being kept in a normal balance in the system - for, as is seen, the metabolism of the body is at that point where the unbalancing of the assimilation and eliminations in the system would bring about in the system those of destructive conditions.
4. There are some conditions in the nerve system that may be corrected by the use of those vibrations or forces set up by a few osteopathic adjustments, properly given, and thus give the system the better action in the incentives for these conditions in the body - those specific centers - give distress at times to the body through pressure created, or an undue amount of the action of specific or certain organs and organic conditions in the system.
5. Those centers needing, then, this particular attention are those in the lower dorsal and lumbar, and in the whole of the cervical region. This will remove the tendency for congestion and of the susceptibility of the body towards cold - which leads to congestion - relieving also the distresses that come to the sensory and the sympathetic system, to head, throat, eyes, and nasal and antrums of the head.
6. In these corrections then, this would only require, when properly given, three to five such adjustments, with the body building up same with exercises that will keep the muscle and tissue in the extremities in proper condition, and watching the diet so that we do not have congestion or toxins produced in system by the setting up of poor elimination of used forces, for the ash of carbon, as it were, in expended energy of body and mind, must be eliminated, would a physical body keep in the best condition, for this the seat of most of physical ills.
7. The tendency of the body to worry should be eliminated or removed as far as possible, for there are many conditions of which the body should be reminded, that the PHYSICAL must function normal for the best, that the body may serve the best.
8. Then, follow those suggestions as given, and we will bring the normal conditions for this body under the present conditions.
9. We are through for the present.

   NAME Mrs. [5711] ADDRESS ... St. ..., Colo.
   Kindly advise us in the space below if you have followed all, or any part, of the suggestions given in your reading of Nov. 11, 1926, and give us in detail the exact results you have obtained.
   Date Jan. 1 1927
   I have had two Osteopathic treatments as you advised and expect to have a few more. The Osteopaths diagnosis was exactly the same as yours, which I think is wonderful. The treatments helped me greatly, but I realize I must have a few more as you advised to overcome the many nerve pressures that I have.
