These conditions, these strain, are produced, as we see,
by indiscretion in ACTIVITY of the body, overtaxing the
strength, see? and by the diet, which overloads the system
with the drosses as are being eliminated, and of necessity
the greater portion must be eliminated through the alimentary
canal, and through the kidneys. Then, with the overtaxing,
these, we see, through the circulation being carried back
into the system, produce an accentuation of weakened portions
in the body, taking on that form at times of congestion in
muscular reaction in locomotories; again taking on those
conditions as are produced in the sensory system, or
affectation to the eyes, see? [See
569-1, etc.]
The strength should be conserved in the body. The diet
should be CONSISTENT with that as has been given.
Then, to bring the better conditions, take those properties
that will bring a thorough activity of the liver, first; such
as would be found in this, or similar condition, to suit the
temperament of the body:
Podophyllum...................1 1/2 grains,
Cascara Sagrada...................1 grain,
Licorice Compound.................1 grain,
Dover's Powders.................1/2 grain.
This would be as a dose. Two doses would turn the liver
over, or make it act freely, see?
Then, in the using of the [Radium Appliance] applicator as is
applied to the body, at least two or three times every day,
lie down and rest, laying applicator across the eyes (keeping
the eyes closed during the time, see?), from two to two and a
half minutes; not longer, see? Then, we will find this will
bring a better condition for this body.
We are through with this reading.
BACKGROUND
See
569-5 on
10/15/25.
A few days prior to 569-7 she wrote that she was again having
trouble and was very worried about herself, and requested a
Ck. Rdg.
REPORTS
2/11/26 GD's note: EC referred her to Thomas B. House, M.D.,
for preparing prescription in 569-7, Par. 4, 5.
2/22/26 "The treatment you suggested for me is working like a
charm. I am sitting up with my applicator treatment for the
eyes. Dr. House times me... I have taken one dose of the
medicine and am to take another one tonight; have been
terribly under the weather for 3 wks., we have all had a
siege of flu or colds for a month... I am almost a nervous
wreck, I sometimes think I would be better off dead. Still,
when I stop and think how fortunate I am I feel ashamed of
myself to say such a thing. I have lost all I gained and
then some. I weighed about a week ago and only weigh 106.
If I just get to feeling better and get my eyes straightened
out once more I guess I will be satisfied with whatever my
lot will be, for a few years longer anyway."

569-8.
