TEXT

1. EC: Now, in many ways this body is very good, yet we find the abnormal condition in the nerve system that affects the sensory organism, especially in the ear, and we also find disturbances at the present time through the digestive tract, especially in that of the hypogastric plexus, with the pneumogastric affected at times. This is rather the local condition, yet affects the whole system, as we shall see.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body [5719], we are speaking of. First, we find:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, while the body is very strong in some ways, the blood supply through the red blood corpuscles is being taken up by the white to an extent that is above the normal in the system, and leaves portions of the functioning organs that supply the nutriment in the system that is overtaxed. This, especially, we find in hypogastric and pneumogastric centers, and the plexus of both are involved. Hence the condition in the pineal nerve is affected through that relation as is given between the hypogastric and the nerve in the brain that affects the auditory forces in the body.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find as these, in the specific condition as causing the conditions in the ear and in the auditory region, both to brain supply and also to those supplied to the nerves of the ear proper in the concha [cochlea?] and in the middle portion. These we find have the blood supply of the condition as given, supplied to the system in its function, yet with the taxing of the nerve system between the pineal nerve, pneumogastric, sensory center, in the third cervical as supplied the nutriment, and the reflex takes those portions from the used portion of the system. This has become clogged and thickened the wall in the inner ear. Hence the sound as is produced in concha [cochlea?] does not revibrate properly in the system. This effect then in the nerve system is a taxing of the whole body, as a whole, and the reaction comes through the blood supply more than any other portion, save that as acted upon properly through the plexus of the hypogastric, which affect the kidneys and the end of digestion in intestinal tract. Hence the pre-disposition for the system to lack nutriment in the digestive tract.
5. IN FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, we find very good, though we find many are involved in condition and produce the taxing of the functioning. Hence the system may be called a neurotic from that viewpoint, though not a neurotic from the physical viewpoint, the taxing of centers in the nerve system being that of a neurotic condition, while that in the physical would be not the neurotic.
6. R E L I E F, then, to give the relief to this body, we would, by strong deep manipulation (that would be accorded the system through osteopathic forces of the deeper character and kind) remove that condition producing the lazy laginess in elimination of used forces from the upper portion of the body, taking the vibrations for the system as would be found in violet ray for eyes, ears and for the inhalations as produce more of the ozone in the system, that all of the sensory organism may gain the incentive from this vibration, using then those applicators and electrodes for ear proper, for the eyes proper, for the tonsils and for the breathing, using also this same vibration to the exterior portions of body; that is, along the cervical, and over all of the centers from the brachial plexus up, front and back. This should be used for three to five minutes each evening, taking the massage or osteopathic forces every second day for at least ten treatments. Then it may be once in seven days. We will bring the condition to its normal forces, only with persistence with the correct diet to keep elimination, which should be accorded to the ones of the system eliminating. Too much of meats, though some should be taken to rebuild blood forces, using then only beef. No hog meats.
7. Do this. We will bring normal forces for this body, [5719].

BACKGROUND

1. 4/11/24 Letter: "I am indebted to Mr. [4825] of this city for your name and information concerning you that challenges my interest and occasions this letter. I have been disappointed many times, and have lost some money, by and to the medical fraternity. However, the faith of Mr. [4825] in you is strong, and I know him for a hard-headed business man.
   "I am hard of hearing; can hear the tick of a Big Ben only when it is less than half an inch from my ear; disability originated in 1917-18; caused, I think, by exposure to cold.
   "If you can do anything for me, I shall be glad to hear from you."

REPORTS

1. 5/02/24 EC's letter: "When you have read this and studied it, we should be very glad to hear from you, and after you have followed the suggestions for several weeks we would like to take your case again and see the results that you are obtaining."
2. GD's note: No further communication was received from Mr. [5719]. We do not know whether or not he followed the advice.
