In the nervous system of the body do we find the greater
distress. In the early years we find there was an injury
to the lower end of the spine, in the coccyx end. This
pressure has produced an irritation to the sympathetic nerve
system, so that there have been periods of reaction
throughout the developing years - and specifically did these
manifest the greater in the thirteenth, fourteenth,
fifteenth, and then twenty-second year. These came not
as spasmodic reactions but as irritations to the centers
along the cerebrospinal system, where the sympathetic and
the cerebrospinal make for coordinations through the nerve
centers or ganglia. This has disturbed, in a specific
manner, the circulation between the sympathetic system or
the superficial circulation and the deeper, or through the
fifth nerve center, through the nerve centers and blood
supply that make for the vasomotor activity in the body.
This has produced at times those periods of disorder and
distress not only in the upper portion of the body, though
in the latter portion of the activity it has been more above
the diaphragm than below same, owing to those pressures made
in the 2nd, 3rd and 1st dorsal area, and in the 1st, 2nd and
3rd cervical area. In the beginning we had upsetting of the
digestive organs, only for a spasmodic condition; again a
disturbance through the eliminating organs of the pelvis;
again we have had these through the throat, the bronchi,
the head, and the effects of these to the system have been
according to those portions that the pressures affected most.
The more specific conditions are in the areas as indicated
in the upper portion, in the brachial and in the axis area
of the circulation and the impulses between the sympathetic
and the cerebrospinal system. These ARISE from the effect
of the gland disturbance to the brush end of the
cerebro-spinal system, which has acted upon the pineal which
reflects to the vasomotor centers in the head, the glands of
the throat, the thyroid, the ductless glands in the caecum,
the glands in the internal portions of the system, and
separating their activity. Not that their secretions have
not been efficient, but rather that there has been an excess,
making for the irritations, so that between the layers of
the epidermis there has come the accumulation of the
emunctory and lymph circulation. Hence the soreness, the
swelling, the reddening, the effect as of a rash that makes
for the accumulations of this lymph fluid. Hence the
conditions as we find that exist.
These in the greater way, as we find, will NOT respond
to internal medication. Neither are the conditions of such
a nature that the centers will respond to the high electrical
vibrations.
But there should be first a correction OSTEOPATHICALLY of
the condition in the coccyx end of the spine, and six to
eight such adjustments would be all that would be necessary
in the beginning. However, remember that these are of such
long standing that more than one period of correction would
be required. But there should be at least two to three weeks
between the periods of correction.
And BETWEEN such periods (that is, in the rest periods
between the osteopathic courses) apply the low vibrations
in electrical formations from the wet cell battery, that
would carry with same the Gold in one application and the
Spirits of Camphor in the other. Of course, the nickel and
copper anodes would be used - and the nickel anode would be
the one carrying the vibrations from both solutions.
When attached to the body with the Gold solution, the first
anode or small plate would be attached in the area of the
brachial center - or the 2nd and 1st dorsal plexus, FIRST!
This would be the copper anode. Then the larger anode,
the nickel plate, passing through the Gold solution, would
be attached last - over the lacteal duct area, so that the
assimilations or vibrations pass through the body in that
proportion, and in and through that assimilated that will
work with the glands of the system. Let it be charging,
of course, when ready to attach; and disconnect all of the
attachments when not in use, taking the connection out of
the solution carrying the Gold. The Gold solution would
be one grain to one ounce of distilled water, requiring
about ten ounces for each of the application periods of
eighteen to thirty-six days - though the anode passing
through same should be cleansed each time and taken from
the solution - dependent upon how clear, or how well corked
the solution is when not in use.
The Spirits of Camphor application would be with the same
quantity, but it would be used in its regular strength.
The first anode attached (the copper one) would be to the
axis center, the 1st and 2nd cervical, at the base of the
brain. The other anode, the larger plate or nickel anode
passing through the solution, would be attached last - at
the 9th dorsal plexus.
Each of these applications would be made every other day;
that is, the Gold one day and the Camphor the next, for
fifteen to twenty minutes - not longer than that, until these
have been taken for a period of twenty-eight treatments EACH.
Keep the mental attitudes in HELPFUL, hopeful surroundings.
As to the matter of the diet, eat those foods that are of
the alkaline reaction.
Keep the eliminations rather in an excess through the
alimentary canal.
As to the osteopathic adjustments and corrections,
the ADJUSTMENTS only would be in the coccyx area; though,
to be sure, the other centers along the spine would be made
for coordination - NOT corrections.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes the peculiar formation of the pupils, and
can the sight be improved?
(A) With these pressures that are the effect of the dilation
of the ganglia from which the sympathetic and the sensory
organism receive their impulse, it makes for the same
reaction in not only the sight but in the hearing, the taste,
the feelings at times. ALL are as of an excess, and will be
materially aided with the correction of these conditions in
the manner as indicated.
(Q) Would organic iron or onion juice be harmful for the
body?
(A) Organic iron would be harmful. Iron taken as a muriate,
with a very SMALL quantity of sulphate of morphia (not a
quantity that would be harmful), would be helpful; but don't
give this as yet.
Onion juice would be helpful.
(Q) Would iodine be helpful for the body?
(A) The atomic iodine (Atomidine) would be helpful, but
let's not combine this with the Gold and Camphor solutions
- YET. This may be added for the system in the next
corrections that may be outlined through these sources,
as changes come about. For it would affect, of course,
the glands - but HERE the glands need rather the stimulations
from the ATOMIC forces in Gold and Camphor, to HEAL, to
revivify, rather than the atomic iodine that would produce
greater secretion. Not that the quantity of the secretion
of the glands is not there, but with the repressions that
have been long standing - that have caused the irritation
and now have found a centralization in those portions of
the system we have indicated as needing corrections - these
treatments as we have outlined would be the better, as we
find.
(Q) What doctor in Washington would you recommend to give
these treatments?
(A) The treatments of the battery may be taken at home -
but they must be consistent and persistent!
For the corrections in the cerebrospinal, for the six to
eight that would be taken - and three weeks between before
they would be taken again, we would recommend Painter - as
we find. [Ruby Painter, D.O.]
(Q) Will the treatments as suggested restore the pigment
condition?
(A) You see, the destruction of same is owing to the pigment
separation through the exterior portion of the system, or the
superficial circulation. This will be restored.
(Q) Why is the nausea present generally in the mornings?
(A) From the upsetting of the hypogastric center through
the sympathetic cardiac center, which controls the roll -
as it were - of the stomach itself, which has not settled.
Hence the centers from which the applications of the
electrical forces are made. See, the 1st and 2nd dorsal
are those areas from which the sympathetic or secondary
cardiac plexus to the stomach receive their impulses;
while those for making the SETTLING of same are from the
9th dorsal plexus - and these are vibrating with the
vaso-motor centers from the centers in the hypogastric and
pneumogastric area at the axis - or atlas.
(Q) Until relief is received from the treatments suggested,
is there anything that can be done to relieve the nausea in
the mornings?
(A) Use this: To 1 ounce of Limewater add 1 ounce of
Cinnamon water, 20 minims 10% solution Iodide of Potassium,
and 10 minims 10% solution Bromide of Potassium. Shake
together and take a teaspoonful in half a glass of water
before arising of mornings. This may be repeated in two
hours. It will keep down nausea, and will make a general
condition of relaxation to the body.
(Q) What causes the trembling when only mildly excited?
(A) Incoordination between the sympathetic and
cerebro-spinal, the basis - as given - arising from those
pressures, or which will be found as a nodule or knot, in the
form of a lesion, in the 2nd coccyx segment.
(Q) How can these treatments as suggested be financed?
(A) As given, very few are required other than at home;
and for these the arrangements may be made in any systematic
way and manner - to be taken care of as is seen the needs
of same.
(Q) Are there any other suggestions for the better physical
conditions of this body?
(A) We would do these; and, as given, in thirty-six to
forty-eight days we would give further instructions - if
they are necessary.
We are through for the present.

(10/15/34 GD's notes: See letter [which was enclosed] to
The Reilly Service, to Dr. Painter, and a list of Alkaline
Reacting foods - of which it seems the diet should
principally consist.
Should anything not be clear, don't fail to ask. When the
treatments have been followed as given for the length of
time advised, let us know so that we may make an appointment
for a Check Reading.
Also see slip [which was enclosed] carrying prescription for
nausea. You should be able to get this filled by any
druggist. If not, send to our local druggist - Snyder;
however, I do not believe this will be necessary - as it will
only take a few minutes for any druggist to prepare it.)
REPORTS
11/07/34 Mother [
687]'s ltr.: "I have sought so long for the
cause of, and a remedy for, my daughter [
697]'s trouble.
As I talked with you and you told me the story of your son's
healing after being burned, I was so deeply moved and so
filled with hope for my own child, that it was with the
greatest difficulty I was able to get away without showing
my emotion. I left abruptly; you may have noticed it at the
time and I tell it to you now that you may be sure I intend
to carry out the instructions to the letter, as soon as
possible...but regret to state that for financial reasons
have been unable as yet to begin to carry out
instructions..."
