TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. Now, as we find, while the conditions that have disturbed the body from poisons or accumulations in the system - making those pressures in the diaphragm area and the quick reaction in the pulsation - show some improvement from that we last had here, these still need attention in order to bring about the better conditions for the body. While there should not be such a strain on the circulation as to cause too great a weakness in the stimulation for the circulation, there needs to be removed more of the cause for the toxic forces in the alimentary canal; especially in the colon area and in the caecum region.
2. We would take, then, another complete round - for five days - of those properties that have been given, with the vibrations that may be given each evening upon retiring.
3. Also we would add the violet ray. This vibration should especially react to the bottom of the foot and to the base of the brain. These extremities will make for an easing of that nerve pressure which has been reacting from those pressures in the hips and arms. Do that.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should she continue with the ash?
   (A) She should.
6. (Q) What should be done for the bladder condition?
   (A) When we remove these pressures, especially in the colon - by the reduction of the plethora condition that exists there, we will remove the pressure on the bladder.
7. (Q) When the extreme pain comes, is there anything to relieve same for the time being?
   (A) Those hypnotics that have been taken by the body will be very well, but do not take too much of the sodas that have been taken. The Painodine (?) [Painodyne] tablets are very good.
8. (Q) What about the diet?
   (A) We would follow rather that which has been outlined:
   Mornings - citrus fruits with little else, unless brown toast and butter, or coffee and toast and butter, or rice cakes, or the like.
   Noons - green vegetables, with some soups, or a variety of vegetables or meat soups.
   Evenings - green vegetables with little meats, but no hog meat at any time.
9. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/10/32 She obtained Ck. Physical 265-6 in re continued heart palpitation [Tachycardia] from hypertension, and neuritis and rheumatism, also bladder condition. Kidneys over-active. Bronchitis.
2. 9/12/32 Her daughter, Mrs. [538], submitted questions.

REPORTS

1. 10/03/32 She wrote: "I have been intending to write you since I got the ck. rdg. and Ash, for which I thank you most sincerely. I knew you must have had some on hand by you being able to send it so promptly. I have been taking it regularly and think that and the other remedies have done me good, for I feel better in some respects. Of course, I don't expect to be entirely well; that would be a miracle, but I have been taking the Ash regularly and do not have the choking sensations as I did have, which is a great relief, though I still have trouble with short breath when I exert myself at all - I mean lifting anything or carrying it or walking far or fast - just can't do it without some distress, but on the whole am improved."
2. 1/06/33 [Fri. P.M.] Nephew [1005]'s letter: "Aunt [265] has been just as sick as could be for the last week. Just coughs constantly and looks terrible. She seems to be getting weaker all the time. We have done everything that we know to do for her and nothing seems to help her a bit. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights we were up until four o'clock in the morning with her, trying to relieve her. There seems to be a good deal of congestion there and, as I said, she coughs constantly. She refuses to have a doctor, and we are at our wits' end. Mother [760] asked me to write and tell you her condition, and see if you could get a rdg. on her to find out if there is anything to do for her. If we can't stop the severe coughing, she is going to die, because, at her age, she hasn't got the stamina to hold out, and she seems to be getting weaker all the time. She won't have a doctor, and she won't do a thing but eat horehound candy and grease her chest with Mustarole, and it doesn't help her a bit. Mother [760] has been giving her whisky to relax her so that she could get a little rest. We can't do a thing in the world with her, and she is as afraid of a doctor as little [487] used to be. When you get a rdg. please find out what is wrong with her and what we can do to relieve the coughing. She sounds like she had consumption... P.S. Aunt [265] doesn't know that I am asking for this rdg. She wants it but she is just too contrary to ask for it."
3. 1/08/33 EC gave her ck. physical 265-8.
