TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions he may submit, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [584]; this we have had before, you see.
3. Now as we find, many of the conditions as were given in the first have changed materially from that which existed then.
4. However, there are reactions in the system as related to some of those disturbances as first indicated, that have not been wholly corrected.
5. These as we find, as was indicated, have to do with the glandular forces of the body, especially as related to the pancrean reactions and the hepatic circulation.
6. We find that these would be materially aided if there would be first the taking of those properties which would CLEANSE the glandular forces of the body, - this including those conditions as related to the thyroids, the glandular forces of the stomach, the glandular system as related to the activities between the liver and kidneys, - and THEN the adding of those elements in the system to rebuild and replenish the vital energies necessary to combat the destructive influences.
7. First, then, we would take Atomidine internally, in this manner:
8. Begin with one minim (drop) in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken, for five days.
9. Then leave off for five days.
10. Then take again for five days, in the manner indicated.
11. Leave off again for five days.
12. Then take for five days again. Then leave off.
13. At the end of the third round (of five days each, with the rest period in between) of taking the Atomidine, we would begin then (not before) with taking the Codiron as a stimulant for the activities of the digestive system as related to all the assimilating forces of the body. Take two tablets at any one meal of the day, but it should be taken regularly and at the same meal every day, - not first one meal and then at the other. Either take it at the morning or evening or noon meal, whichever is preferable, but take it at the same time each day, regularly - two tablets - for a period of three weeks. Then leave off for a period of one week. Then take again for another three weeks.
14. And by then we should find a great deal of change for the helpfulness for this body throughout.
15. The properties in the Codiron (after the glands have been purified by taking the Atomidine in the manner indicated) should add sufficient of iron for the correcting of the condition through the blood supply, that will have been altered by the purifying of the glands, and will relieve the tensions that make for those disturbances at times of an insomnia nature, and also making for improvements throughout the system.
16. Throughout the period we would keep away from sugars and white bread. Let the sweets be preferably honey, if any would be taken at all. The diet should consist principally of vegetables, rather than a meat diet, of course. However, fish, fowl or lamb may be taken in moderation.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What would this condition be commonly called by the doctors?
    (A) It is not understood, for it is a glandular disturbance.
19. (Q) Is this a diabetic condition?
    (A) As we have indicated from the very first, it is a glandular condition. The effects from portions of the glands would be called diabetic. This is not a TRUE diabetic condition, for the glands of the thyroid are affected as well as of the genital system, as well as of the stomach itself.
    The true diabetic condition is the involvement mostly of the pancrean reaction alone, - or sugar indicated in the urine, or even in the blood supply itself. But purifying the system with the taking of the Atomidine in the manner indicated, first, will change the blood pressure as well as the activity of the pulsation.
    Then with the taking of the properties contained in that form known as Codiron, we will add the proper combination or proportions of cod liver oil, muriated iron and certain vitamins that act with the vital forces, - as Vitamin B-a, G, C and A.
    And all of these combined with the activities of the system, if taken in the manner indicated, will aid in cleansing and correcting this condition.
20. (Q) Is this condition curable?
    (A) As we have indicated, these properties taken consistently - AND IN THE MANNER outlined - should relieve those disturbances.
    First, PURIFY the glandular forces of the body. Do not take the Atomidine for three days or four days, or six days, but take it FIVE DAYS! Then rest five days, see? Then begin again and take it for five days, - one drop, not two drops, not half a drop, but ONE DROP! Do this for three successive cycles, as indicated.
    Then afterwards, take the Codiron for three weeks, - each day two tablets. Then rest a week. Then take it again for another three weeks.
    And we will find, if the diet is adhered to throughout - and no activities, of course, that produce excess toxic forces for the system, there will be a great deal of improvement, and the condition SHOULD be eliminated entirely from the system.
21. We are through for the present.
