TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [808].
3. As we find, conditions are very satisfactory in the GENERAL way and manner.
4. That there has been and still is anxiety at times, owing to the very NATURE and character of disturbance which has existed, may be expected.
5. In the present we would advise a tonic for the body in the form of Codiron; not before this would it have been well, else it would have been given. For the glandular forces were not sufficiently advanced in their coordinant activity to have given a tonic of this kind for the body.
6. Take one pellet each day at first, for at least ten days; take it preferably at the meal of the day at which the MOST food is taken. After taking it the first ten days, then leave it off for five days. Then begin again and take TWO tablets at the one meal, for ten days. And then leave off for five. Then begin again, but at that time taking ONE tablet at EACH meal. And this means WITH the meal, not before, not after, but during the meal; so that the properties, the vitamins that are released by the use of this IN the digestive fluids may act better with the body. This quantity of iron will not overstimulate the heart, but will make for a better rhythmic vitality and a better or nearer normal metabolism, because of the vitamins and the sources of activity of the cod liver oil in same, as well as making for a more normal katabolism.
7. We would take often the liver, or Liver Extract. If it is preferable to take the liver, take a little of it broiled, at least twice a week.
8. Do these, and keep those exercises that have been indicated, that are well. Keep as much in the open each day as practical.
9. And when there is the inclination or tendency towards the weakness, or even a slight headache, REST sufficient, and take a hot and cold bath. This means one right after the other, two or three times; and we will find a great change and a betterment for the body.
10. And a little of weight will not HURT the body, - but just keep the diets in the order as indicated, and we will keep better forces for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Should I continue taking Atomidine? and Emmenin gland medicines?
    (A) As we find, when there are the periods of the rest from taking the Codiron, during those five days take the Atomidine AND the gland medicine only on those days.
13. (Q) What causes periods of exhaustion?
    (A) Nerves!
    There is not sufficient activity between the red blood and white blood supply through the plasm by the activity of the energies in the coordination between the glandular assimilating and the activity of the glands that aid in the distribution of assimilation.
    Hence, as we have indicated, there will be added by the use of this tonic those hormones that will aid in the hemoglobin to make the metabolism as well as katabolism more normal, and will make for the ability of stored energy. It is almost as if the energies of the body are run down, and need to be wound again.
    But do those things as indicated, and we will have the better conditions for this body.
14. (Q) Occasionally I get quite severe pains in the abdomen. What causes this?
    (A) Those conditions in the lower end of the cerebrospinal system, or the brush end, which is through the sacral and lumbar areas, and thus have their reflex activity through the abdomen and to the organs of the pelvis, - that cause the nerve exhaustion. And this has a reaction upon the nerves of the organs of the pelvis, thus causing those unpleasant disturbances. With the change as indicated, and the hot and cold baths when such exhaustion occurs, it will tend to equalize through the very change of the temperatures the superficial and deeper circulation, and thus sooner equalize the body-energies.
15. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/24/39 She referred Mrs. [1935] for a Physical Rdg.
2. 6/28/39 "By the way, I have taken two doses of the liver extract and I can assure you that you were right in saying it was terrible - ahhhhh I can still taste it!!!"
3. 7/10/39 Mrs. [808] wrote that her friend Dr. M. Bolkhardt had died suddenly and she was heartbroken - "We have not only lost a good doctor but a good friend."
4. 8/25/39 "Did you know that 'Codiron' has been changed to 'Adiron'?"
5. 10/21/39 Saturday morning - letter to EC:
   Dear Edgar:
   Received your letter and it surely was a tonic to hear from you. I have been home in bed practically all week, but today feel a little bit better although terribly weak. I don't understand why I have these spells. I take such good care of myself and do everything that you tell me. However, perhaps a check reading will tell what is causing it and what to do. If you are giving any real soon, would you include me in them? If you will let me know I will arrange to be home at the time specified.
   Questions are on other page. Will write you more when I get some strength.
   Love from us both to all
   1. Would adrenalin injections given by Dr. McCue build up my glands to normal? 2. If so, how often should they be given? 3. If not, what would be the means of building up my glands permanently? 4. What should I do to increase blood pressure? 5. Would the seeds in figs be too much roughage for this body? 6. What causes mental fatigue and what is remedy for it? 7. When I get these glandular spells is it necessary for me to rest completely? 8. Why have these spells been coming more frequently in the past year? Is there anything I am doing that is causing this?
   (If the reading gives me something else to take you might ask if it will be alright to continue taking Adiron as indicated before and liver extract.)
   I want to explain that first question. I used to have a room in the house that Dr. & Mrs. McCue owned. Now Dr. McCue after years of study and research has turned out to be quite a gland specialist. We have seen them on occasions and he insists that these injections would cure me once and for all. He claims that he has had similar cases and cured them in 6 to 8 weeks. So I would just like to know what the reading has to say about it.
   It surely would be wonderful to feel good all the time. I'll feel good one day and the next day feel bad enough to stay in bed all day. If I did things to cause this exhaustion I wouldn't mind, but I take such excellent care of myself. I think one of these days I'll go out on a good drunk and then when I feel bad the next day I will know the reason. This way I can't understand it.
   Well, anyway, to get back to Dr. McCue - He gave me three of these injections last week and I have had what I call a bad reaction. He said it wasn't from the injection but just one of my bad spells. However, I shall not have another unless the reading says so.
6. 10/27/39 See 808-11.
