TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [635]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are considerable changes in the physical forces of this body since last we had same. Many are for the improvement; others that have arisen (and that are a portion of the natural consequential changes in the body in its development or experience in this period) bring about very detrimental conditions.
3. And, as we find, these can be materially aided. However, we find a contributing cause to the disorder is the lack of the dissimulation of the energies that were released in the body through the use of the oil packs.
4. (This aside; but make it in big notice for all to whom you send information: EITHER DO ALL THAT IS SUGGESTED THROUGH SUCH INFORMATION OR DON'T DO ANY OF IT, for you may bring detrimental conditions to yourself - even as this body has!)
5. In changing the eliminations through the alimentary canal, to relieve those pressures from the activities of a congestion in the ducts of the digestive area, or the bile ducts, the gall ducts, the lacteal ducts, the activities in the lobes of the liver, these were to be distributed by the stimulation of the cerebrospinal system with the vibrator along the ganglia of the system, see? This produced in the alimentary canal an assistance towards elimination, but the nerve effects or the congestion from those portions that should have had their stimulation for the proper distribution of energy as released from the whole portion of the cerebro-spinal system did not! Consequently we have, through the ducts of the system, along the cerebro-spinal system, a contraction to the pineal area - the ducts that run through the medulla oblongata into the portion of the cerebellum itself, that makes for a contraction to the very brain centers themselves.
6. We would use in the present more of the oil packs over the liver and caecum area, but we would first paint the spine - from the base of the brain to about the 3rd dorsal (that's the whole cervical area, you see) - with laudanum and aconite; half an ounch of laudanum with twenty minims of aconite.
7. We would use the vibrations of the electrically DRIVEN VIBRATOR over ALL of the cerebrospinal system.
8. We would put hot salt packs across the hips and up and down the spine from same to about the 9th dorsal (using coarse heavy salt in bags, heated); and we will find relief in these. They would be used only when pain is severe.
9. The vibrator treatments should be taken each EVENING when the body is ready to retire.
10. The application of the oil packs would be taken when there is the tendency for gas or the feeling of fullness in the stomach, bad taste in the mouth, a little nausea or headache. Any of these are indications that there needs to be a stimulation to the ducts of the duodenum, the pancreas, the lacteal ducts, the gall ducts, the bile secretions, the lobes of the liver, the activity through the caecum, the activity through the veriform appendix, through the jejunum, the activities along the colon area itself - all of these need stimulation; and this stimulation is the better for this body.
11. Be mindful and careful of the diet also.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is the same condition producing dizziness and nausea?
    (A) Produces the dizziness and nausea, as has been indicated.
    Do as we have outlined.
14. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 635-4 on 8/18/34 for cholecystitis.
2. 9/25/34 "I'm so uncomfortable again - I don't think it's caused from same thing as last rdg. - think I'm decidedly better of that, but for past 3 days have been more in bed than up. My head, running from top down the back of head, down the neck and spine, and so dizzy it nauseates me - the dizziness is what causes the nausea... Will you give me a ck. rdg.?
   "I'm not sure but I believe I've a little temperature this morning - I feel so hot and sick."

REPORTS

1. 10/15/34 "When the rdg. came I don't believe I've ever suffered more intense pain in head than I did for several days afterwards. I don't believe I could have stood it much longer [She describes difficulty in securing electric vibrator, laudanum, etc.]... Dr. Davis gave me prescription for laudanum, no trouble getting aconite. We commenced using all the things by Wed. [10/10/34]. I was like another person. However, it was Wed. afternoon that [...] and [1427] came. They stayed until Friday morning. Of course, I missed my treatments for 2-3 days and am going back to them today. My head doesn't feel quite so good."
2. 5/20/35 "I'm going to have to ask for a rdg. when you can... I feel awful not enclosing payment with my request - can assure you if it hadn't been for your help last summer don't know where I'd be now. And I am taking the packs and vibrations again, but I'm not exactly suffering the same way. Where the bones are sore, awfully sore to the touch about the head. My head only aches badly right on top, but my back - my back - right in what I term flat of back, it's sore to touch - all up and down spine. Is it natural result of age - what is the matter. I'm so afraid of something malignant, and I'm trying so hard to keep that out of my mind..."
3. 6/10/35 "As you see, I wrote the real letter [above] 2-3 weeks ago... I was thinking I'd wait and see how I felt, and I do feel some better, but you know it's funny, it's after I retire that I really feel worse. I sleep dreadfully. I've such pain in my right arm and shoulder - runs clear to finger tips. What makes it? Then at times I'm nauseated and dizzy but not nearly so badly. As I told you, I took some oil packs and vibrations - that helped dizziness but not the pain in arm and nervousness. When you get time will you please give me a rdg.?"
4. 6/18/35 "I hope this reaches you in time. I've had and have yet one of those horrible headaches. I just couldn't write or anything. Right now I feel a little better. Questions: Why do I feel pain in arm and shoulders more at night (unless use or lift something, rarely feel it in daytime) but at nights can hardly sleep for it. What makes me so nervous and restless at nights? Are my teeth causing any of the trouble? (I'm told it's most all of trouble.) What makes me so cross and irritable at times when I don't know I'm going to be or intend to?"
5. 6/21/35 See 635-6.
