EC: Yes, we have the body here, [
482] - this we have had
before. Now, as we find, there are many changes in the
physical forces of the body from that as we have had here
before. While many conditions show an improvement in the
general physical forces, there is more physical resistance,
there are better conditions in the blood supply, more
vitality in the resistance that is exercised by same, there
are those conditions - as we find - in the digestive system
that have, in a manner, been of more or less long standing,
that causes or produces the distresses to the body in the
present. There having been those positions, or conditions,
where the stomach itself low or out of position, and in this
manner many of the impulses from the nerve centers become
over accentuated to portions of the lower portion of stomach
and duodenum, causing or producing in the activities of same
in digestion an excess of activity in that particular
portion. Hence we had first that of a thickening of the
walls of that portion of the organ itself. As a result we
had easily the digestive system upset, with severe headaches
following in a particular portion OF the head - in the back
or base of brain, and to the top and front of head. These
produced often nausea, straining at times either to empty the
stomach by regurgitation or overtaxing with those of the
sedimentary nature, or of a nature to empty same, produced
that of a LACERATION in the portions. Hence we have, as it
were, an exhuming from those portions of same. This,
however, is not in any manner malignant in nature; rather
that of an over sympathetic condition produced, as has been
given or shown, from an excess of impulse to supply those
juices from that particular portion of the organ itself. As
is indicated by the character of the exhuming, or stool, or
as would be indicated by the blood tests themselves, the
NATURE of the condition is rather NEARER what would be called
ULCER, yet it is NOT - in its TRUE sense - that. Rather as
of a condition where the thickened walls, by strain, break -
and the fluids produce an excess in the digestive system,
that makes for for the extreme pain and for the GENERAL
reaction through the system from same.
Then, in meeting those conditions in the present, we would
find that with the low form of electrical vibration given, so
that the effects of same pass directly THROUGH the system
itself, would tend to disintegrate those vibrations that are
set up at present as IMPULSES from that particular center
that has been under strain and stress. Prepare, then, that
form of electrical vibration as comes from the plain wet
battery, and attack both of the poles to one plate that would
be, when ready for use, attached to the body between the 5th
and 6th dorsal center. When ready to be attached, the feet
should be placed in lukewarm water, and keep same on -
ranging in periods in the beginning from 20 to 25 minutes, to
30 to 40 minutes, AS the body ADJUSTS itself to same. These
we find we would take each day. That it may produce some
nausea at times may be expected. When such occurs, REDUCE
the periods of time, taking at such periods this as combined:
Cinnamon water...................1 ounce,
Lime water.......................1 ounce,
Iodide of Potassium
(10% solution)...............15 minims,
Bromide of Potassium
(10% solution)...............20 minims.
The dose would be a teaspoonful of this in half a glass of
water.
Or, it may be kept separate - as the preservative:
Take 1 ounce of the lime water, (Keep separate - if this is
taken in the form of the homeopathic manner, as a spoon up or
spoon down) to this add the Bromide of Potassium (the
quantity as given). To the Cinnamon water add the Iodide.
This will aid as a sedative. Not in the manner as to produce
irritation, for while the lime water is an irritant -
combined WITH same is that that is Iodide, or IODINE,
reacting to the system, as a healing; while in the next half
hour - if these are taken in this manner - the other dose
taken - we have BOTH acting as sedative to the system.
Following the appliance of the low electrical vibration, we
would massage the body - especially from the shoulders to the
lower portion of body, with the low vibration from
electrically DRIVEN vibrator - see? Not a massage, other
than ELECTRICAL massage, or ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN massage, for
it is to act as a stimuli to all the segments and ganglia
along this particular portion of the spine.
We would also find, should this become irritating, that we
may (that is, the whole battery vibration) aid by taking IN
system the animated or carbon ash. This should be in very
SMALL doses, if taken, and use WITH same - over the abdomen
and stomach - the violet ray vibration. We would PREFERABLY
use the other, see - for these should act, and will act, are
precautions taken, to DISSEMINATE the whole of those
vibrations as have been set up. We will find also that the
body should be very mindful of the diet. There should be
THIS as an outline. To be sure, it may be changed or altered
from time time.
Do not add too much sweets, and very little if any SALT in
same - but as of mornings, the citrous fruit, PREFERABLY
lemons and grapefruit.
Noons - a little soup, but NEVER any canned soup for THIS
body, or any that has had any form of preservative with same.
Always make same, the broth, either the fresh vegetables or
fresh meats and vegetables, but NONE of the meat.
Particularly none of hog meat, unless later there is taken
those that are of the gluten nature, to produce in the system
more of that in the blood supply as aids in coagulation, when
those properties then would be taken of the pig's feet, or of
the muscle or gristle of same. This will include also, in
the evening meals, those of the well cooked vegetables, but
only those of the leafy nature - or that grow in pods; not
the bulb nature. No potatoes, no carrots, no beets, no
turnips, nothing of that nature. The TOPS of these may be
taken, and may be eaten, but not the bulb nature.
In the matter of the water, would be well - especially in
this surrounding - that there be kept near those occasionally
of the lithia that may be added to same. Also occasionally
there should be put in the water as taken, that of the yellow
saffron, or of those teas that would be made from same.
Those of the camomile will also aid, and at times those also
of the elm. This, with the regurgitation, would tend to at
times sour. So be very careful of these. They may be taken,
though, close to those periods when those either of the
sedative - or spoon up and spoon down medicines - are taken
for the system, see? Ready for questions.
(Q) What dosage should be taken at the time, if the spoon up
and spoon down is taken?
(A) Half a teaspoonful.
(Q) What causes the pain at the end of the spine, and what
will relieve same?
(A) This is produced by this condition as DRAWING in the 5th
and 6th and 4th dorsal area - pulls UP the end of the spine.
Hence those battery activities RELAXES the system, the spinal
cord itself, or SYMPATHETIC spinal cord, for this is purely
from the sympathetic. These conditions occur when there is
any excitement, or when the body has had undue activity
standing on the feet - see? for it produces a pressure, but
with the battery, as given, with those vibrations from the
sponge vibration over the system - be sure, as given, that at
least from the shoulders - and of course it may be to the
head, but at least from the shoulders down - from the
brachial plexus center to the end of the spine - this be
thoroughly given, and do not mind giving it for thirty to
sixty minutes, relaxing the body thoroughly.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
See
482-2 on
10/15/27 for eyes and pain in stomach.
11/30/31 Son [
481]'s letter: "She suffers so much with her
eyes and stomach."
12/12/31 Her daughter, Miss [
421], and her sister, Mrs.
[
340], were present for the rdg.
REPORTS
12/30/31 "I have begun my treatments and am sure I will get
the results. I am afraid my diet will be hardest to hold to,
for having to prepare it for myself is not so easy. When you
have four men to cook other things for, it is hard, but I
will try, for I have suffered so much."
1/09/32 EC's letter: "Tell [
481] to keep pretty close tab on
how you get along with your treatments with the battery. You
may feel some inconvenience with one or two treatments with
it, I want to know how it affects you - if at all. Be sure
you carry out every bit of the treatment, just as
consistently as possible."
1/16/32 Son [
481]'s letter: "Mother is getting along pretty
good at the present although her battery is not doing her any
good. Once in a while she gets a tickling sensation in her
feet and legs but that is all. It never has made her feel
the least bit sick, as you said it should."
1/23/32 EC's letter:
Now, in regard to your mother, we have made up another batch
of the compounds necessary for the charging of the battery -
and she no doubt has them before now. I feel real good about
it not making her sick. I don't think she would feel
anything, save - as you say - the tingling that naturally
comes from the electrical charge by her feet being in the
water. Let me explain to you just a minute what is taking
place - and she need not expect it all to happen at once:
The indications have been that there is a lump or hardened
place formed in the wall of the stomach itself. Now this is
produced by some subluxation that has prevented the proper
impulse going to that portion of the system and it becomes as
a dead cell. Now with the application of this low form of
electrical vibration to the centers through which that same
portion of the system receives its impulse, there is carried
through that portion a low electrical vibration - by the
contact of the battery current itself which is produced with
her putting her feet in water. I understand that many an
electrician who would look at this would tell you it was
already short circuited when both of these are attached to
one plate, but - as is indicated by the tingling she feels in
her feet - there IS a connection established THROUGH the body
when her feet are put in the water. Now this will commence
very slow, but she should have gradually less of these
nervous headaches, less tiredness, and slowly build up the
body. It may be better - or necessary a little later - to
check up and see whether you are applying this in the proper
way or not, and if it is necessary for some other treatment
to be added or taken from that she is already doing. Be sure
and let me hear from you about the whole matter.
1/29/32 Son [
481]'s girl (and Mrs. [
484]'s daughter) wrote:
"Mrs. [
482] was so deathly sick at her stomach last night.
You said in her rdg., and in your letters to her, that her
treatments would make her sick, and I am just wondering if
this is really the cause... I feel so sorry for her when she
gets sick, with [
421] away, for Mr. [
1194] and the boys
([
481] and [
4261]) just don't know what to do but sit and
look at her...they cannot get the Carbon Ash and the Yellow
Saffron. Dr. Peery [the druggist, Peery Drug Co., Nashville,
Tenn.] is unable to get it here in the City and he wants to
know where he can buy it... I know it is necessary or you
wouldn't say for her to have it, and I am sure it would keep
her from being so sick at her stomach. She has splotches
that look like rash, to break out in various places on her
body."
2/06/32 EC's letter: We sent a quantity of the Saffron and
also the Ash a few days ago. I do not understand why they
haven't heard from Mr. Bradley about the ash. He has been
very prompt in getting out such orders. I suppose Dr.
Peery's trouble about the Saffron is that Yellow Saffron is
ordinarily considered the imported kind, while just Saffron
is of the American variety. They are both the same thing.
Dr. Peery should be able to get it from any wholesale drug
house.
I would certainly appreciate your letting me know just how
[
482] gets along. I'm sure this reaction must have been from
the effect of the battery appliance itself WITHOUT the other
ingredients being used. If she had been using the other
properties, it would have been different. Be sure and see
that they disconnect the wires from the box when it is not in
use; otherwise that type of battery will very soon run down.
This is connected by little stems or connections that are
easily removed from the box.
2/14/32 About 4 o'clock this A.M. I had quite a sick spell
again. So terribly nauseated and dizzy in my head. I am
feeling very much better tonight. Think I will get along
fine after this. I am getting all of my medicine and
treatments now... Eating just right is still my problem."
3/05/32 Son [
481]'s letter: "Mother is feeling pretty good
today but is mighty dizzy. We were not able to get that last
medicine you said for us to get. If you will send us some we
will be more than glad to send the money."
6/29/32 She wrote that she had ordered more Animated Ash and
was having the chemicals for the Wet Cell Appliance refilled.
8/08/32 See
482-4.
