TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [849].
3. As we find, the improvements are continuing, and there is becoming gradually the better use of the nerves and muscles of the locomotory centers of the body.
4. These are to be continued, then, with as much exercise as practical without overtaxing or straining the body.
5. And we will find that the use of the packs of the combination of those properties we have indicated, will still the better assist in breaking up and eliminating the static conditions; these applied over the lower portion of the sacral and the sciatic centers, the knees and the ankles and feet.
6. Massage with oil, preferably those combinations as we have indicated, after the exercise.
7. These as we find are the necessary precautions, and that will be needed more than ever, as the body gradually improves.
8. Do not become impatient with self nor with others. Use the constructive thinking; and creative forces in the thinking will aid in keeping bettered conditions through the body.
9. Of course, keep up the eliminations in rather the excess. As we find, the Senna Pods, or occasionally the salts - or salines, preferably the citrocarbonates or of such natures, - are the better for eliminations, and to keep down inflammation.
10. Beware of getting too cold and, of course, too hot; but do keep up the vibrations from the Wet Cell Appliance, as this supplies those energies in the body - especially the Gold - to the nerve forces of the body. Keep these consistently, and keep the plates clean and connections in order. These are the more helpful influences ye have in the body from the PHYSICAL angle, as the massage - and this should be kept daily whenever practical, but a thorough massage should be given at least two or three times each week.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Any change in diet?
    (A) A regular diet, now, but keep the body-building forces; that is, all the foods that carry especially vitamins B and B-Complex. Do not attempt to take these as a complementary for the foods needed to be taken, and that are needed in the body. Any B-Complex may aid, but it may also counteract some other reactions, see?
13. (Q) Will change to environment of ..., Va., be beneficial? [Too expensive in Clearwater in winter; water is too cold for me to swim; besides, we are losing Mrs. Townsend - her husband is going into the service...]
    (A) It can be MADE beneficial, provided there is the ability to have sufficient exercises to continue the elimination of used energies, and the building up of strength and energy.
14. (Q) Any specific schedule for me now that I am walking?
    (A) Just be consistent in the application of all those things as indicated.
15. (Q) Any other advice?
    (A) Keep, as indicated, the mental attitude. This will be more needed now than ever, if there will be the continued improvement to the body.
16. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 849-65 on 7/02/42 and subsequent Reports.

REPORTS

1. 12/03/42 EC's letter to Mrs. [264]: "Hugh Lynn saw [849] last week. He is walking on his crutches now and doing nicely. Quite a marvelous demonstration."
2. 12/03/42 Mr. [849]'s letter:
   H. L. has probably given you all the news. We got here O.K.; in about five hours, and the trip was so much easier than I expected; couldn't get a driver for Monday so we came Sunday and took two Catholic U. boys along. We're still in a state of chaos here but are gradually settling down. Thought it would be wise now to have a Check R., as I am situated in the climate and environment; massage isn't so good, so I'd like to ask if as a substitute I could take Epsom baths in the tub say, once a week. Only other thing really bothering me is my sinus; since coming north they have given me a fit, constant discharge and frequently bloody; could I ask what to do for it? I've worn my faithful inhalant out, and need another. Would you ask Gladys to call Bill M. and have him send me another COD. Otherwise I'm walking fine, and when the skeptics, newspapermen, etc. come to see you in the spring by golly I'll be there to show them...too bad about John O'Neill. If you have his address at Saranac I'll write him...as one shut-in to another...waiting like a racehorse at the post for that book to arrive...[1102] and [1521] send love and [5436] sends his regards...he is going to get two of the books and send them as Xmas presents...
   Love to all...want to catch the mail with this...haven't a satisfactory typewriter table as yet...had to leave my little one in Wash....no room in the car...doggonit the soldiers have moved in HERE too. [849]
   Have had a treatment here from a colored man, ex-W&L trainer, but it was merely a rubdown...
3. 12/09/42 See 849-67.
