TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1018].
2. Now, as we find, the conditions that disturb the body in the present are rather an accumulation of disturbances that have made for destructive forces building in the body; causing the lack of the proper circulatory forces, impoverishments in the blood supply, lacking of those activities in the eliminations which has produced and does produce the tendencies for the drosses to become so heavy upon the system in portions as to cause numbness to its nominal or normal sensitivity. Also there are the tendencies, that, through the lack in the revivifying of the system, prevent coordination between the nerve forces of the body and the activity of the organs in their supplying the resuscitating forces to the activities of the body.
3. As we find, it may be termed a condition such that portions of the system have WORN, as it were, to the regular activities in the body.
4. The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates the lack of those impulses sufficient to produce the coagulation and coordination in the functioning of the organs as a whole. Then specific conditions arise from a toxic force in same that has made and does make for the centralizing or localization of disorders, and hindering in the functioning of organs as related to the locomotory forces of the body.
5. As to the activities in the NERVE FORCES, as indicated, there is an incoordination between the internal and superficial or external activities. Hence while those activities that make for mental reactions are good in most portions, the lack of the vital forces makes for periods when there are the lapses, as it were, in the coordination.
6. In the ORGANS themselves of the body we find centralized or localized conditions through the general activity of the body, especially as related to the heart's activity as associated with the hepatic circulation.
7. These are the general conditions, but as we find these may be aided materially. And with the supplying to the physical forces of the body through creative forces, as it were, RECHARGING the body in its activities, we may bring a great deal of aid and help to the body in making the applications. And this may be done, as we find, in this manner:
8. We would not change those things that have been administered, or that are being given - as to the diet and the rest periods.
9. But as for those that may activate with the depletions that exist in the system, we find THESE would materially aid in bringing better coordination to the WHOLE of the body itself:
10. We would first prepare the low Wet Cell Appliance, the low electrical vibrations that would carry to the system the vibrations from the Gold solution (in the ratio of two grains to an ounce of distilled water). The attachments to the body would be as follows:
11. The small copper anode would be attached first, to the 3rd and 4th dorsal center.
12. Then the larger nickel anode would be attached, last, (passing through the Gold solution, you see) at the umbilicus center.
13. Such attachments we would make for thirty minutes every day.
14. Each day following the application of the Wet Cell Appliance, we would massage those portions of the cerebrospinal system between the 9th dorsal and the base of the brain, with a compound prepared in this manner:
15. To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil as the base, add:

    Olive Oil.........................1 ounce,
Cedar Oil.........................1 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles.............1/2 ounce,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin......1 ounce.

    These ingredients will separate, to be sure, when standing in solution. But shake well together before using. Massage into these portions of the body just what the body will absorb.
16. Make these applications for sixteen to twenty days, and then there may be given that which may be added for the more specific conditions; though these all will be aided with the use of these applications.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Will the treatments as suggested bring real relief, or is this condition permanent?
    (A) As indicated, this condition has been a long time building. The applications that we have indicated are for the basis of a permanent relief, but it becomes necessary that there be added - as through these applications - that which will furnish the basis upon which permanent relief may come.
    As may be seen from that which has been given for the body as to the conditions, there is the lack of the vitality to create the RESISTANCES in the system.
    But the activity of the low electrical vibrations from the Wet Cell Appliance will be to recharge the body, as it were, furnishing the vibrations which are as Life itself in motivative active force in a material body. Then the vibrations from the Gold solution carried into the system through this manner will create an activity in the GLANDS of the body, through supplying elements that revivify the activity of the organs themselves - not only in the nerve impulse but as to the vitality of the organs themselves.
    Taken in this manner, then - that is, with the attachments, for the stimulation from the cardiac activity of the heart itself and to the reflexes to the system from its activity - and for the assimilation forces of the system that carry the revivifying forces, the effect will be very beneficial.
19. (Q) Would it be well for the body to remain in the hospital, or could these treatments be given satisfactorily at home?
    (A) These would be given satisfactorily at home with the cooperation of an attendant or nurse, really better than in the hospital. And, as we find, the improvements would be - if this is plausible or possible - more effective.
20. (Q) What diet should the body follow?
    (A) As indicated, that given recently to the body - that is a body-building diet - is as effective as may be had in the immediate.
    After the sixteen to eighteen to twenty days of following these applications as indicated, then the diet may be changed owing to those conditions that will be gradually aroused to activity in the system.
21. (Q) By following the suggestions outlined, what percent of improvement may be expected - and over what period of time?
    (A) As we find, in a few days there should be some INDICATED response; say in five to six treatments. This does not mean that the body would be able to get up and walk around that soon, but there should be indicated the air of hopefulness, of expectancy, that must first be established. For all healing, as we have oft indicated, must come from the divine forces from within - and the abilities for the individual in using or applying the opportunities in its associations to make for helpfulness and desire for activity within self.
    By the end of the first week, or second week, we should see a still greater change. And by the end of the entire treatments (for the twenty days as here outlined) we should see a DECIDED improvement.
    As to the percent, we would say from thirty to fifty percent change will be indicated.
    Do these things, as we find, in the present. And we will find helpfulness and hopefulness for THIS body, that hasn't been experienced for some time.
22. We are through for the present.

    (GD's note: See letter [which was enclosed] to Health Home Remedies Co. with specifications for the type appliance to be used. Be sure to send this letter with your order, so no delay will be experienced. Also notice the price list [which was enclosed], and the article given to [...] (daughter) on Electrical Appliances. The oils for the rub may be bought separately and then added as given. If everything is not clear, let us know. Also let us know when you have followed the applications for the sixteen to twenty days, so we may make an appointment for a Check Reading, in time to line up the treatments that are to follow.)

REPORTS

1. GD's note: Her daughter later phoned saying they would start on the treatment in a month or so, after plaster cast has removed from Mrs. [1018]'s back. HLC had talked with the daughter and he indicated to me that the condition seemed to be a long standing case of arthritis.
