TEXT

HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here.
As we find, the conditions with this body continue in some directions to be on the improve, and in others we find they are causing some anxiety, - especially as to the conditions which exist in the locomotory areas, or in those centers from which the nerves of the lower limbs receive their impulse.
Now, we would change considerably the applications being made for the body in the present. We would leave off the vibrations of the Camphor and the Atomidine through the low electrical forces, yet these should be taken - or especially the Atomidine - in another form and manner, as also the Gold, for the general conditions; though we would keep the vibrations of the Gold through the Appliance.
Keep up the reducing of the pain through the use of the cobra venom, which as we find would be kept now about three times each week in the present, especially while there is the breaking up of those conditions which exist in the limbs as well as in the lumbar and sacral areas.
And there will be required a great deal more of the manipulative forces, - these deeply given through the sacral and lumbar especially, and especially the limbs. These would be given especially after there has been, or is the effect of the venom in the system. Attempt to straighten, or stretch the limbs more; though DO this OSTEOPATHICALLY, see? that is, relaxing the sciatic nerve center - both ends, - that about the lower portion of the sacral and that about the end of the cerebrospinal system, and also under the knee.
The rubs should be continued, but MORE the corrective forces osteopathically through the sacral and lumbar and the limbs should be given especially while the body is under the influence of the venom. These we would make, then, at least three times a week. These should be given the day following the venom, or after there is the effect of same, or at least ten hours after the venom is given, see? but give these corrections DEEP; not, of course, to bruise the body, but to STRETCH same, see? for these conditions will be absorbed in the system not only through the gold taken internally but as applied vibratorially, as well as from the effect of the Atomidine upon the internal activities of the system as affected by the heavy Epsom Salts Baths given as we will indicate.
Give the rubs daily, after or before the bath is given, - using Peanut Oil and Olive Oil - the mixture, half and half.
The Appliance attachment for the Gold would be to the lumbar center and to the umbilical plexus - each day, as well as taking the Gold internally.
The solution for charging the Appliance should be at least double strength, as indicated; that is, instead of the one and a half pounds to the gallon and a half of water, use three pounds. The zinc also would be doubled. The strength of the Gold would NOT be doubled. Of course, the other ingredients, as the Acid, should be doubled. Do not increase or double the Charcoal, - in fact, this may be left off entirely in this case.
Prepare the Gold in this manner for being taken internally: Add one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water. Also add two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled Water.
For five days in succession, give one drop of the Gold Solution and two drops of the Soda Solution in a good swallow, or small glass, or jigger of water.
On the fifth day, leave off. Rest one day, and then begin with one drop of commercial strength Atomidine in a quarter glass of water each day for five days (leaving off the Gold and Soda during this period, but continuing the Gold vibratorially throughout the entire series of both the Gold and Atomidine internally, see?).
At the end of the fifth day of the Atomidine, give a heavy Epsom Salts Bath; letting the body REMAIN in the water for at least twenty to twenty-five minutes, as warm as the body can well stand same; being massaged especially in the limbs and through the hips during this time. This will require at least two individuals to give same, for at least the first four or five periods. Only give same about twice a month, or a little bit oftener, - only at the end of the five day period of the Atomidine. Use at least twenty pounds of Epsom Salts to thirty gallons of water, and let this be hot!
Do not necessarily apply the Packs when or during the next series that the Baths are given, but the rubs daily as indicated.
After the Bath, leave off the Atomidine for one day; then begin with the Gold and Soda again for five days; leave off one day, and then the Atomidine for five days, - and THEN the Bath again!
Do that, and keep the diets and the general conditions as we have outlined; and we should see, in the changes that are coming about, and the change in the seasons, the better abilities of the body to get out more in the open air, and the conditions improved.
The Ultra-Violet Ray is very well, but ONLY during those periods when there is not the sunlight and the air that may be let into the room from same, or the body in same; for nature's sources are much preferable to the supplying of same through makeshifts. However, on dark days give the ultra-violet ray - EVERY DAY that it is dark and gloomy, and the ozone that is produced in the room should be KEPT in the room and breathed by the body.
Ready for questions.
Do these for this next period.
We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

2/18/40 EC's letter to Mr. [1005]: "[849] had his treatments changed a few days ago and each time it upsets him for a few days at least, but seems to be on the improve. Has put on a bit more weight - but can't get the kinks out of his legs as yet, but a little more movement in them."
2/28/40 EC's letter to Mrs. [903]: "[849] seems to be on the improve. The Dr. who has been giving the cobra venom said to HLC last summer that nothing could be done but keep [849] easy, but he told [849] yesterday, 'Well, soon now we will have you on crutches and you will get better faster.' Some difference - but what a siege that boy has had!"
3/05/40 EC's letter to Mr. [779]: "[849] is doing very nicely. The Dr. who comes 3 times each week to give him cobra venom said last summer he couldn't get any better. Told [849] last Friday, 'Well, [849], if you keep this up we will have you on your feet this summer.' That has boosted him a lot."
