TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body and many of those impressions that have been made in these environs and surroundings by the body - MANY.
2. Now, in the physical forces of this body, [767], we find there are disturbing conditions that may be materially aided and much relief brought to the body in many ways and manners.
3. These are the conditions as we find them. While to give a complete analysis of the conditions would be to give rather a history, these are they as we find in the present:
4. The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates disturbing factors in the digestive and assimilating system; heavy in the toxic forces that should be eliminated from the body, even carrying those effects from not only the accumulations from what has been the first cause through the colon area but carrying the effects from too great an active force in the pancrean and the liver reactions to the system, as well as an engorgement in the spleen.
5. These are the effects, as we find, and while they cause the diabetic tendency - this is in effect, the causes arising from conditions in the colon and in the glands in the system. To be sure, the pancrean activity is as a gland secretion - and there is carried or produced a large quantity and an over-activity in the kidneys; which, from the prostate condition, is the greater effect upon the bladder secretion and activity, and the greater quantity or flow at times of the secretions or urine from the system is - in the major condition - produced as much from this as from the sugar and from the tendency of the torpidity in the liver and the secretions from the pancrean and spleen activity.
6. As we find in the main, that which would be the most beneficial to this body in this time would be to first - through colonic irrigations - reduce the prolapsus and the engorgement in the colon area; using one at least every week until four or five have been taken, then one may be used every month for three or four months. Such colonic irrigations should carry in same a very decided alkalin reaction, or an antiseptic of an alkaline nature - much as found in the Glyco-Thymoline.
7. We would find most helpful also the heat applied through the Elliott machine for the glands in the rectum, as we have indicated that show a great disturbance. Give such treatments preferably every other day, for periods of at least fifty to sixty minutes - or beginning preferably with forty-five and gradually increasing to sixty minutes each day.
8. For the assimilating system we would have a compound prepared in this way and manner:
9. To 6 ounces of Dried Garden Sage add 32 ounces distilled water. Reduce by slow boiling until there is only a quart left. Strain while warm and add 15 grains of Ambergris dissolved in 1 ounces of pure alcohol. Then add:

   Simple Syrup made from Beet Sugar
(not from cane sugar!)............2 ounces,
Gordon Gin...........................6 ounces,
Cinnamon.............................3 drams,
ESSENCE of Wild Ginseng..............1 dram.

10. The dose would be 1/2 teaspoonful before each meal.
11. In the matter of diet be very mindful that there are no sugars, no red meats, and a limited amount of starch. Then, such an outline as this may be followed:
12. Mornings - citrus fruits or stewed fruits or dried cereals with very small quantity of milk or cream; but do not eat citrus fruits AND cereals at the same meal. A cereal drink may be taken, or coffee without either sugar or cream. Dry toast, preferably whole wheat of rye bread.
13. Noons - preferably a vegetable stew or meat broths, provided not too great a quantity of grease is in same. At times small quantities of beef juice may be taken. Stewed fruits. Vegetables raw.
14. Evenings - preferably all the vegetables, or most of the vegetables should be of the leafy nature; one of the bulbous nature (as peas and beans) to two of the leafy vegetables; such as spinach, mustard, cabbage or collards or such natures. Leave out potatoes; though if Irish potatoes are baked - occasionally the jacket or that very close to it may be taken, but not the pulp. Fish may be taken at times. Buttermilk may be taken in small quantities. Any of the cereal drinks may be taken. Not too great a quantity of those foods that produce an alcoholic REACTION in the system, as from the fermentations of sweets and of starches. While a form of alcohol is to be taken in the compound outlined, this - prepared in that manner - will be found to act with the system as an essential portion of the digestive fluids for the assimilating of the character of diet indicated.
15. Do these.
16. Ready for questions.
17. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 11/17/34 Friend Mr. [370]'s letter: "He has recently been confined at home by illness, the nature of which I am not familiar with but is considered by him and his friends as more or less critical, and from which he needs relief. He has expressed himself as willing to do anything to obtain relief. He is not familiar with your work but is asking for a Physical Reading as soon as possible."
