Time and Place: 11:00 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Va.

TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [404].
As we find, there are the acute conditions from cold and congestion, and the tendency for same to produce an extra amount of congestion and temperature - by the conditions in the area of the colon itself.
This AFFECTS the circulation especially to the thorax and the bronchi and the activities in the eliminations, and putting strain on the kidneys.
We would take practically ONLY the fruit juices, especially hot lemonades. These may be taken with the soda water or this separately, - a quarter teaspoonful of soda in a FULL glass of water, drinking an extra glass afterward.
Begin with the use of the liquid Simmons Liver Regulator. Take this in broken doses, - nearly a teaspoonful about every three hours, until there is a GOOD reaction from the alimentary canal.
Do APPLY the equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor over the chest AND the back, applying the hot flannel cloths after same has been rubbed in thoroughly.
Do have the feet and limbs bathed thoroughly in as hot water as the body can stand, before taking the liquids.
Do these and we should in a couple of days feel entirely different - almost normal.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is cause and relief for pain in nerve in left leg?
(A) Pressure on the colon, as indicated, from the sources from which these pressures arise, - the eliminations of the alimentary canal. And a removal of the pressures will relieve these tensions.
(Q) Did the fall of several weeks ago have anything to do with this?
(A) To be sure, it contributed to the cause - but is not the source.
(Q) Any specific nerve affected?
(A) The sciatic, - but this sympathetically, rather than specifically. [Sciatica?]
Do these things as we have indicated, for better conditions for this body.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 404-8 on 7/02/40.
2/10/42 She submitted questions by phone: "I don't feel good at all. Had a fall several wks. ago and have suffered off and on ever since with this severe pain in leg - don't know whether it is from the fall or my general condition. Please give relief for distress and soreness and drawing in lower stomach or upper intestines. The oil enemas given for this [in 404-8?] were not very satisfactory. Can something else be suggested that would be better? Is there something I can take that will eradicate heaviness and listlessness and give more vital energy? Explain the unbalanced physical condition of my body."

REPORTS

2/27/42 Early A.M. she phoned questions:
1. How is it that I have had very little response from following the suggestions of my last Rdg? Is it that I have caught more cold before being thoroughly relieved? 2. What can be done for the numbness in toes, also tautness around knee - these were apparent before the acute condition arose? 3. What vegetables are especially good for my body, considering the condition of kidneys? Also fruits - which should be eaten raw and which cooked? 4. Is the belladonna plaster helpful? 5. What effect does Aspirin have on the kidneys? (I'm relieved immediately when taking it, but afterwards the aching is terrific. I ache all the way from my hip down my leg, and under the heart. I heat salt packs and put to my back which help some.) 6. Any further advice?
(Ask anything to clarify information. Phone me back if anything to do immediately. Mr. [1467] is coming down around five o'clock and will pick up my Rdg. and Mrs. [303]'s.)
