TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [601]; this we have had before.
2. While there are periods and times when the general reactions and general conditions cause a great deal of anxiety, and the nervous reaction, and the diffusion of ideas at times, these are natural consequences in the system's adjusting itself.
3. There has been and is rather the excess of the flow. This again is a means of the system's eliminating the poisons that would otherwise prove detrimental. Yet it behooves the body to take the proper precautions as to not allow this to become so profuse as to become a drain upon the body-physical and mental, or upon the system as a whole.
4. As we would find then, it is well that there be kept the manipulations to keep - in the application of same - a coordinate reaction throughout the body; by - along the cerebrospinal system - making attunement as it were, or that each segment and each vertebrae are in accord as one with another, allowing for the impulses as arise from the ganglia along the system to carry the proper impulse. This is the better manner than stimulating, now, any particular center for excess activity or in according as it were any plexus or ganglia as to prevent normal flow of impulse through those portions of the system.
5. For, as the body-influences are gained and maintained from impulses along the cerebrospinal system, in conjunction and connection with the vegetative nervous system - or that of the impulse system - these need to be kept then nominal or normal, and let body-functions and body-reactions come about by a normal flow of impulse through the system.
6. And these we find would gradually then overcome those tendencies for an excess of the flow, as well as an excess of activity in impulses through portions of the body.
7. Keep well towards an eighty percent alkalinity in the system. Beware of excesses of anything, whether alkalines or acids, but keep a normalcy.
8. It would be well to use the vaginal applicator of the violet ray but not during periods when there is the extra flow; for this would tend to create a coagulation that would produce irritation in the membranes of the pelvis and through the vagina and through the organs of the pelvis. Only when these have stopped, or once a day for ten to fifteen minutes, but not too high.
9. The manipulations would be given at least twice a week but more of a general nature now, unless specific conditions arise.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) There is profuse flowing before passing of large clots and then no flow for a day or two. Should applicator be used during these short periods of cessation?
    (A) As has been given.
12. (Q) During these past several weeks have a peculiar numbness through upper dorsals during the time of osteopathic manipulation.
    (A) If there is given, in the manipulations and adjustments, the treatment for relaxations for each segment and each vertebrae along the whole of the system as has been indicated, we would find rather a better flow in the present; that is, of impulse, see?
13. (Q) Twice a week the manipulations?
    (A) As indicated.
14. (Q) Should medication with Gin be continued as outlined previously [in 601-13]?
    (A) These properties are very good, to keep a balance in the activity of the pancreas, the liver and spleen, as coordinating with the eliminations of the system.
15. (Q) Is a trip to Florida recommended for me, considering [480]'s condition [See 480-32 Reports] and the service I can give her during the next few months by remaining at home and near her? Frankness is appreciated and will be followed.
    (A) As we find, there is no reason why that a trip to Florida would not be most beneficial; and why not have the body [480] WITH same during those periods there? The rest there, the recreation, the out of doors, the changes would be well for that body as well as for self; and thus there may be much planning and much of that of the emotional self as well as of the body [480] that would be benefitted by same. We would rather advise the two.
16. (Q) Any other advice at this time?
    (A) Do these as we have indicated for the better conditions, as we find.
17. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 601-18 on 1/14/37 and subsequent Reports.
2. 2/06/37 She submitted questions, saying: "My physical condition is a natural one [of menopause] and realize that patience is one of the things I must cultivate. Having been a fairly healthy animal all my life it is a little difficult to begin pampering at this late stage."

REPORTS

1. 2/15/37 "The rdg. is very clear and appreciate that time is the important factor together with the suggestions in the rdg. I have been using the violet ray as indicated in my previous rdg. but notice this last suggestion is for a much longer period (10 to 15 minutes). Dr. Thompson (John R. Thompson, D.O.) believes there may be a fibroid condition but will wait until the next rdg. to answer that question. The question relating to Florida was beautifully answered and would love to take advantage of the suggestion (so would [480]) but there are always so many things and conditions that arise that do not permit one to do what they would like to do... I would feel very selfish to go without [619], knowing how he would enjoy being there, so have decided to stay at home and perhaps we will be able to go together in Dec. and take [480] and 'Jim' [now unborn baby] with us. I am sorry we cannot carry out the suggestion."
2. 3/03/37 She referred Mrs. [1345] for Physical Reading.
3. 4/05/37 She referred Mr. [1358] for a Physical Reading.
4. 4/09/37 "I have been feeling quite well, thanks to you and following directions as closely as I can."
5. 4/16/37 Reply to Questionnaire:
   (1) In your opinion did the analysis of the Reading cover the condition? Yes.
   (2) Give symptoms of condition described correctly? Yes.
   (3) What was the physician's analysis of this condition? Agreed with that in the Reading. Going thru change.
   (4) Have the suggestions given in the Reading been followed exactly as outlined? The Medication & Violet Ray was used as directed.
   (5) For how long? About two months.
   (6) Describe the extent to which improvements have resulted? No mentstrual flow since Jan. & better general condition.
6. 4/17/37 She requested 619-9 for husband.
7. 4/22/37 She obtained Physical Rdg. for Mrs. [1361].
8. She phoned for 1364-1.
9. 5/25/37 She obtained 1375-1 for her husband's sister suffering with cancer of the rectum, subsequently nursing her.
10. 6/01/37 She and husband referred his nephew for 1386-1.
11. 6/23/37 See 1375-4 warning of infection from nursing [1375] unless great precautions were taken.
12. 6/28/37 See 601-20 in re Mrs. [1375]'s care.
13. 6/29/37 She requested Physical Rdg. for Mr. [1399].
14. 6/30/37 "[480]'s Dr. I. L. O'Connor is taking care of us while Dr. John R. Thompson is away. Very good."
15. 7/08/37 See her letter of heartbreak, under 480-37 Reports, in re daughter [480]'s baby son being born dead; also in re having done all she can for sister-in-law, Mrs. [1375] who is dying of rectal cancer and going soon to live with her children.
16. See 480-38, 480-39, 480-40, etc., and 1375-5.
17. 9/16/37 See 601-21 indicating "reproduction of tissue, owing to the injury (auto accident, see under 601-9, etc.), the shock to the nervous system and all." [See 3/17/38 Daughter's ltr. under 601-29 Reports indicating the specialist thought the vagina full of cancer had started - or condition "must have been cancerous since the flooding started last year."
18. See subsequent Ck. Physical Rdgs.
19. GD's note: 4/20/38 Mrs. [601] died from cancer of the womb.
