TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. Now, as we find, those acute conditions in the cold and congestion that was caused in portions of the system show a great deal of improvement, through the setting up of eliminations through the alimentary canal, stimulating the activities of the hepatic circulation and of the organs of the system as related to creating better activities in eliminations of the system.
2. Now we need those applications that will make for the eradication of causes, as well as effects in the system.
3. Because we are changing the vibrations through other applications that would be made for the body, do not leave off - when necessary - those stimulations for the eliminations through the alimentary canal, but these would be taken only when necessary - or every two to three, to five days. But the other applications would be given, that there may be reached the basis of the disorders and the causes of the greater distresses in the system.
4. Then, we would begin with those vibrations that may be given from the electrically driven vibrator, each evening. Give not only along the cerebro-spinal system but extend over the centers of locomotion, brachial plexus, solar plexus, and especially the lumbar plexus; following also along the inside of the limbs to the feet, going over the soles of the feet and around the ankles particularly. These will aid in stimulating circulation and in eliminating from the system those conditions that destroy the effectiveness of activities in the body nominally. In these applications we would use, preferably, the cup applicator.
5. Also we would begin with either cabinet sweats or blanket sweats, which would be taken once each week; preferably in the evening just before retiring. Not merely just a hot bath, see - but rather dip sheets in as hot water as the body can stand and wrap well in same, then cover the body with blankets - or wrap in blankets sufficient to make the sweat glands of the body respond, and the respiratory system. Remain in the sheets until they have cooled entirely, see? Then sponge off the body with tepid water in which there is put those properties that will make for a stimulation more to the capillary circulation; or salt rubs - that is, dry salt; not to produce irritation, no - but the hand merely dipped in the salt and the limbs and spine rubbed well with same, see? Then, when the body is sponged off again, we will find the rest for the body will be exceedingly well.
6. Every other day, or every two or three days, we would also use high enemas; not colonics, but rather high enemas. In the first three quarts of water add a level tablespoonful of salt and two level tablespoonsful of soda. This will create more of an alkalin condition and empty those distresses, that have produced partially those re-infections in the system - from the torpidity in the activity of the colon, and the dilations that have existed there. There is not so great a prolapsus as has existed; rather a dilation and an inactivity through same. In the last quart of water (after the eliminations have been finished) we would put a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline and two teaspoonsful (be quite a difference) Milk of Bismuth. Stir this in. These will give great relief for these conditions.
7. Do these, and we will find that we will bring better conditions for the system.
8. Keep in those activities that will make for better physical and mental coordination throughout the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 1/26/33 Letter: "Thank you for your trouble and I certainly appreciate my second Physical Rdg. It sounds very good and I believe the 2nd enema (yesterday) has helped. I don't expect to get well in a second, as I have been 12 years getting this way. I have been out of bed since a week ago last Sun. I have been irrigating the bladder with boracic acid, thus keeping the pain down. This is the 7th attack I have had since I was 17 (that I can remember or count). I think that neutralizing the acids will give me relief. I'll let you know when I can tell you something more definite."
2. 2/01/33 Letter: "I am trying to follow directions, it is upsetting me considerably. My left side through the waistline and up under the ribs is very sore and has been for a week. The cystitis is almost gone. My first sweat bath was last nite; it made me quite weak and gave me a headache."
3. 7/26/33 Letter indicated she had not followed treatments completely since it would have been so expensive: "I have taken the tonic and some sweat baths but not enough... [Physical Rdg. indicated not to leave off the stimulations for the eliminations.] I have never taken but the 3 doses of the capsules, could this be my mistake? Could this chronic condition through the antrum [as referred to in 623-1] be causing a catarrhal condition of the bowel?" [Indicated she was miserable lately though she was over the cystitis.]
4. 6/11/34 Letter: "We can never thank you enough [re daughter [951]'s recovery] and we tell lots of people about you. If there is ever any way we can help we would be very glad to do so.
   "If I could only do as well but I am not well yet. What would you suggest?
   "Your treatment as advised [623-1 and 623-2] has helped a lot, but I bloat badly after I eat and feel a choking in my throat; at times I have quite a soreness under my left ribs. "Let me hear from you soon, as I am very anxious to be well."
5. 7/24/34 Letter: "I believe it will take another reading for me to get relief; what arrangements can be made... Let's arrange this reading for me as soon as possible, for I am quite miserable and it seems there is no use to go to a doctor. Any date you might send will be satisfactory, for I can be home any time."
6. 7/30/34 Letter verifying appointment: "I believe you can clear up this case this time, for I am better in some ways. What can be done for this awful bloated, heavy feeling? Why the soreness in my left waistline and under the ribs? When I sit down, is the soreness in the female organs or the colon? It all seems like this to me: Food sours in my stomach. This could cause the large amount of gas in the bowel which gives me so much misery and the belching up of gas. The use of enemas has irritated the bowel, causing soreness, nausea, and sharp pains in my head. The soreness in my left waistline and backache might be from pockets in the colon. How to get at the cause I hardly know, but I'm sure you will. I know no one else can, for I've tried for 14 years.
   "Your capsules you suggested [623-1] are the only capsules - or cathartic - I can take and not get sick in bed and ache from head to toe. So the best of luck this time and thank you."
