This has been, as we have indicated, rather a subtle
condition; the effects being much more pronounced than the
causes of the troubles. There should have been more
thorough, and a more PERSISTENT and consistent, carrying out
of the massage for the lower limbs and the feet, as
indicated, which would have taken a great deal of the strain
off the body; that is now, from the activities and the
necessity of being on the feet and limbs oft, making for a
pressure in the lumbar-sacral areas as to cause headaches,
bearing down pains across the small of the back, heaviness in
the stomach, especially of mornings - as of bad taste, and
fullness in the system; heaviness through the lungs at times,
and wakefulness at certain periods when the body doesn't rest
as well as it should; not rested when it awakes from normal
sleep. These are pressures in the nerve system, you see.
We would, then, repeat that which has been given for the
lower limbs and for the feet - especially the feet, that
should be massaged thoroughly with those properties that have
been indicated - the tannin forces that may be obtained in
such a nature as to be most helpful to the burses in the feet
and limbs. Also we would now, when the rest periods begin:
Take Ventriculin as a tonic, and we would take at least two
or three bottles of same - pint bottles, you see, as the
indications are, and we will build up the body.
We would also take those massages (that may be given at home)
across the lumbar and up to the lower portion of the cervical
area, with equal parts Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh, and
this we would take at least every other day - in the evening;
and take time to do it! If it isn't worth doing, then it
isn't worth trying! And if it is worth trying, it is worth
doing properly?
Such a massage should be given following the deep
manipulation with the electrically driven vibrator, from the
lower end of the spine to base of the brain, from lower end
of spine to base of brain, or on either side of the spinal
column - along the course especially of the sympathetic nerve
system. Give this for at least five to ten to fifteen
minutes. Then massage thoroughly with equal parts of the
Olive Oil and Myrrh.
Do not forget - at ALL times - the massage for the FEET, and
especially the feet and ankle, and massaging to the knees and
along under the knees, and along over the muscular forces of
the lower portion of the limbs.
With this change, with the diet kept in nearer the alkalin
reaction, but rebuilding - of course, as will be the demands
in the system from the use of the Ventriculin - we will
build strength and vitality to the body.
Ready for questions.
We are through with this reading.

7/08/34 "For the past wk. or two I have not been feeling well
at all. Everything seems to go wrong and my head hurts
nearly all the time, and if I lose any more weight, well it
won't be very good. You are my doctor, so will you please
give me a rdg.? I know you can tell me what's wrong. My
vacation starts pretty soon and I can get going on whatever
you tell me to do, and be well when I go back to work. Every
day I will be at the store...9 to 5, except lunch 12 to
12:30. Sat. we get off at 1 o'clock, then I would be at
home."
REPORTS
7/15/34 Aunt [
243]'s letter: "[
421] will follow her rdg.
because I will see that she does. Her mother [
482] is the
sweetest thing ever, but just can't follow a rdg."
7/17/34 Miss [
421]'s letter: "The rdg. came Sun. a.m. and
you certainly do know how to tell just the thing. I feel
better already... Mother has not been well and that is the
reason my treatments haven't been given lately, but she is
better now and I am going to the finish...
It is such a help, in fact I just can't get along without
a rdg. once in a while. I don't feel that a doctor knows.
I hope some day, some way, I will be able to partly repay
you at least."
8/17/34 Aunt [
243]'s letter: "[
421] is taking her treatments
now to the letter and I feel that she looks and is lots
better. What would we do without you?"
3/12/35 See her next Ck. Physical,
