TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [538] - this we have had before. Now, many changes have taken place in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Those conditions, as we find, as are producing distresses in the present have to do with the organs of the pelvis, as with those of the eliminating system, and unless there are precautions taken as to prevent those accumulations there must be plethora or tumor, or such natures as are indicated in such conditions; but if drainages are set up in the system through the stimulation of the centers from which eliminations in the pelvic regions take place, as well as through the alimentary canal - (without causing prolapsus of any nature in the colon, as to produce irritation in the region of the organs of the pelvis, through which such inflammation passes) - we will find the conditions would be improved. [See 538-29, Par. R3.]
2. These, we find, would be through the continued stimulation of the muscular forces through manipulation in the lumbar, sacral, and the general system - with the use of those laxatives, not so much of cathartics - and with a stimuli through the vagina of these of the violet ray [violet ray hand machine, vaginal applicator]. These, as we find, would set up the stimuli in such a way and manner as to bring about the nearer normal conditions. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What would you suggest as a laxative?
   (A) Better, we will find, that these be through much of the diet, as WELL as of a change in the character of the laxative taken. We would find that much that may be taken in the form of food values - in green vegetables, in fruits and in nuts - with those of Milk of Magnesia, Milk of Bismuth, Phenolax, Phenalphthalein, and such - these, in altered states - will keep the laxatives.
   The manipulations we would take at least every other day. The violet ray - as applied through vagina, with the vagina applicator - we would take at least twice each week - Tuesday and Thursday.
4. (Q) How long at a time should this be used?
   (A) Three to five minutes. Set up drainages with the manipulations, see? When pains become severe in the bearing down pains, then we would use the hot packs - a combination of mutton tallow, camphor, turpentine - and this on flannel - with salt, hot salt, as the heat - see.
5. (Q) Should this be applied across back?
   (A) Where the pain - across the back.
6. That is all the questions regarding this body.
7. We are through with this reading.

1. See subsequent Ck. Life Rdgs.
2. 4/21/34 See 538-34, her next Ck. Physical Rdg.
3. GD's note 4/14/66: Evidently the treatment was effective in preventing tumors (See 538-44, Par. 12-A on 7/29/37), although Mrs. [538] died 4/01/45 with cirrhosis of the liver.
