TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the treatment and care of same. You will also answer any questions that I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Now, we find the conditions somewhat changed in the body from those we have had before. While in many respects the body is better than that as we had before, yet there are those conditions that cause distress in the body at times, especially is this shown in eliminations in the body, and some portions of the system in its functioning shows the distress in the tissue and in the action of the organs. This produced, as we see, by poisons in the body, left, as it were, by imperfect eliminations throughout the system and affecting these specific places, or producing specific conditions, as we find in the upper antrum in face, which comes from a form of catarrhal condition in nostril, and the teeth, affecting the throat, the bronchials, and the region of the upper portion of epiglottis. This, we see, gives then this distress, producing dull headaches through the lower cervical region, aching through the upper portion of the dorsal region, trouble in the neck, as of cold and congestion, tendency to find congestion through nostril, and is one of the contributing causes to the condition of eyes.
3. The digestion at times seems overtaxed, a forming of gas, or fullness after eating, that causes unpleasant, though not specific, pain at times. These, we see, are from poor eliminations.
4. Then, to relieve these conditions, we would first of all take more water in the system. Drink quantities of water, even as medicine; that is, have specific time and keep the system well flooded with water until eliminations are fully set up throughout the system; using every third day, for at least six treatments, equal parts of salt, soda, Tartaric Acid, with water sufficient to make in the form of a solution easily snuffed into the nostrils, until it is felt coming into throat; using occasionally, alternately, these as gargles for throat: As we see, these are used for local conditions, and would be used when distress is caused in these portions of body.
5. First, dissolve two five grain Aspirin Tablets in half a glass of luke warm water, using this as gargle. Second day, or when next distress is caused, put two teaspoonsful Listerine in half glass of water and use as gargle; keeping the exercises, as has been outlined for this body, for upper portion of body; that is, when water is taken in the evenings before retiring, circulate the body with the exercises until the system absorbs the greater quantity of same; using the vibration of violet ray occasionally, very strong over the dorsal and cervical region.
6. Do that, and we will bring the better and the normal conditions for this body, [779].
7. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 779-6 on 2/28/24.
2. 12/07/24 "I had an examination this last week for insurance. The Dr. says I seem to be perfect in every way as far as he could see, but they don't always know. I am glad to say I am doing just fine, 'good as new,' but at times my throat gives me quite a bit of trouble - get very hoarse, can hardly talk. You will remember you said something about the throat in one of the readings more than a year ago, also said unless it was corrected we could expect other developments. You know I don't want anything of that kind. Mr. [4499] has been having trouble with his throat and went to the Dr., he says they [the tonsils] have to come out. No, not mine, unless YOU say so... Give cause & tr. for occasional hoarseness, soreness & phlegm."

REPORTS

1. 12/22/24 He wired for urgent Physical Rdg. for his second son, [781].
2. 12/31/24 He reported on 781-1, also saying: "I want to thank you very much also for the rdg. you got for me. I want to say right here that it told the exact way I felt. I could not have expressed it near as well. I am more than pleased... I have been drinking, it seems to me, about a barrel of water a day and for the last few days the eliminations have been much better and you bet I feel much better for that reason. Then I am taking the other treatment, salt, soda and Tartaric Acid as per rdg. - three treatments so far. I am pleased to say that my head and through the upper antrum feel so much more open, and my throat feels nearer normal than in some time, and, too, I stick the hot violet ray to the given places.
   "Yes, I had some trouble with my tonsils several yrs. ago, had fever from them with pus, too, the Dr. said take them out, but I didn't - still have them and hope to keep them by your help."
