Time of Reading 10:45 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia.

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 suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1990].

3. As we find, the developments in the bodily forces are very good in most respects.

4. However, from the lack of a glandular activity, there is the inclination for the lack of proper eliminations through their normal channels. Hence there is a disturbance in the blood supply which produces in portions of the superficial circulation the inclination for an acute condition in some areas, - like a roughing of the skin itself.

5. This is due to those areas becoming soft, or those portions where such activities cause the flow of these poisons that should be carried as eliminations through the general circulation to the respiratory system and to the alimentary canal.

6. These, then, are disturbances as we find with this body.

7. In the blood supply there are indications that in times back the casein in the milk caused a lack of activities of glandular forces as related to the liver eliminations.

8. This has been aided in some respects, and in others has continued to become more and more active as developments have progressed.

9. As developments progress, unless this is changed, it will cause more of an eczema in the superficial circulation; causing crustings in the second and third layer of the skin, or the epidermis.

10. These as we find, now, may be materially aided by the use of those influences as would cause the activity of the glandular system to become coordinant with the rest of the physical actions of the body.

11. Now, these may at first appear to cause even a little greater irritation, but these are necessary - as we find - if we would eliminate causes, - and then correct those effects having been produced.

12. Hence, for the first ten days, give one minim (drop) of Atomidine in half a glass of water, or two or three tablespoonsful of water, the first thing each morning, - before any meal is taken.

13. After this has been given for ten days, then leave off.

14. Then after some five days, begin with the taking of a compound prepared in this manner:

Sulphur…1 level tablespoonful, Cream of Tartar…1 level tablespoonful, Epsom Salts…1 level tablespoonful, (this preferably that which has been dried).

Mix these thoroughly together; not just partially but THOROUGHLY together. Keep in a dry, cool place; preferably in a sealed jar.

15. Give half a teaspoonful of this mixture, then, each day for three days, - either in water or in a form in which this may be taken.

16. After the third dose, leave off for a day.

17. THEN give every other day until the whole quantity is taken. (Be sure the feet are kept dry and out of dampness, during the whole period this mixture is being taken!)

18. Then have, during this period, about the time there is the beginning of the compound, three of four adjustments osteopathically; in the area between the 1st dorsal and the 9th dorsal, see?

19. Then the diet:

20. Keep away from quantities of starches.

21. Give as much of citrus fruit juices and of vegetable juices as the body will take.

22. And in ten weeks we should find the condition eradicated entirely.

23. Ready for questions.

24. (Q) Should the mixture be taken before meals? (A) You’ll do well to get it in him any time! Whenever you can get him to take it! Before meals, after meals, early, late, or whenever you can get it in him, - but give it!

25. (Q) How close together should the osteopathic treatments be given? (A) A week apart.

26. (Q) Is the Cod Liver Oil and milk sufficient to sustain proper teeth structure? (A) Here we would find that Calcios would be a better product; though this should NOT necessarily mean the leaving off of the Cod Liver Oil. For THIS body, however, we find that the White’s Cod Liver Oil tablets will be much preferable; one tablet taken EVERY day.

The Calcios - just about what would cover a cracker as butter, you see, three times each week - would be sufficient.

The milk - preferably this should NOT be combined with other things.

Cereals are well, ESPECIALLY the Maltex and steel cut oats.

27. (Q) Are the following foods good in the diet: Bananas? (A) No!

28. (Q) Ice Cream? (A) Good.

29. (Q) Egg yolk? (A) Very good.

30. (Q) Cakes? (A) Depends on the character of the cakes!

31. (Q) Ginger snaps? (A) Occasionally, but not too often. Lemon snaps are better.

32. (Q) Potatoes? (A) If that close to the skin is taken, and not too much of the pulp, very good.

33. (Q) Honey? (A) This is fair, but much of the honeycomb should be included.

34. (Q) Is there a candy or sweet that would not be harmful in the diet? (A) The chocolate or the fudge that is prepared at some institutions as preparations for such conditions would be very well. But that as would be prepared with honey and peanuts would not be harmful.

35. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do these consistently. As given, a little trouble will be indicated at the first, but afterwards we will see better developments in every manner.

36. We are through for the present.

Background

Background

B1. Parents requested the reading chiefly because of a stubborn skin condition that would not clear up. Dr. S. L. Johns said it was due to Carnation milk formula used over long period of time, being too rich - it had been the same with other patients.
