TEXT

1. EC: Yes, as we find the body here, [597], the conditions are rather serious; being of long standing and from time to time become acute, making for separations in the system that produces incoordination in what may be called the cellular forces in the system; making for internal rashes, making for those conditions where the swelling in portions of the body produces the discoordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system; disturbing the circulation - or the blood supply - to such measures as to first become overcharged in the one direction and then in the other; producing in the system such disorders in the assimilating that then we have a drop of the white or red blood - that is, one at one time, one at another - that produces these conditions that have been indicated by at times the fluids forming in portions of the system.
2. As we find, we would make applications in the immediate condition, and as the changes come about we will find we would be able to so resuscitate the activities in the assimilating forces as to build for conditions that would bring a much easier and a much nearer normalcy for varied activities.
3. First we would begin with the use of the Animated Ash, one-eighth of a grain being given twice each day for three days. On the third day apply the ultra-violet ray over the area specifically in the upper dorsals, you see, and at least forty inches from the body, about a minute and a half to two minutes; using, of course, the quartz light - not the sun ray, not the hand ray, but the quartz ray, see? or it may be used from two and a half to three minutes. This would be every third day.
4. We would also prepare a compound in this manner:
5. To 1/2 gallon of distilled water, we would add the following ingredients - each POWDERED or GROUND well, but kept separate until added IN THE ORDER NAMED:

   Wild Ginseng (dry)..........................2 ounces,
Indian Turnip.............................1/2 dram,
Wild Ginger (not Ginseng, for this
has already been given, but GINGER)... 1/2 ounce,
Black Snake Root..........................1/4 ounce.

   Put these together IN THE ORDER given. Stir well together. Simmer until when strained off there is 1 quart of the solution. Strain this thoroughly; then add:

   Tincture of Stillingia....................1/2 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya...........................1/4 ounce,
Sufficient alcohol to preserve the solution.

   The dose would be a teaspoonful at least three times each day; oftener if there are those reactions for the replenishing of the strength and vitality.
6. These, as we find, would be added to those that have been the main applications, you see.
7. Follow the diets well that have been indicated, until we have created - in the next ten days - quite a variation in this body, [597].
8. Then, in ten days, we would give further instructions for this body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. We are through for the present.

    Copy to Mr. [...] [Husband]
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (6/26/34 GD enclosed a copy of letter to [597] explaining what the Ash is and where it may be obtained.)
