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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1031]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions in some respects are not so well; in some other conditions have changed, - some apparently for the better, others - as to environs, surroundings or attitudes - not so well.
4. We find that there is a continuing of the process of deterioration of nerve flexus, or nerve impulses, as related to the cerebrospinal system.
5. This, as we have indicated, is a result of a glandular disturbance, - the nature of which is to prevent or to induce or to cause this lack of the increasing or the replenishing of energies that go to make up this reaction in the nervous - even the cerebrospinal system.
6. And, unless there are the applications as we suggest that may be made to retard the inroads, we find that there will be a gradual process of deterioration.
7. By persistency, however, the condition may be retarded and eventually overcome.
8. This is indicated by the inability of the body at times to sit, stand or walk erect, without a great deal of disturbance in portions of the spinal system, in the locomotaries themselves, and in the activities of the body.
9. As we find, with the conditions which exist in the present, we would change some of the applications that have been suggested; though these have NOT in the main been applied as yet:
10. First, we would suggest that there be used the low Wet Cell Appliance, but with rather a heavy charge to produce that vibration necessary to carry - for THIS body - the products of metals to the system, and other properties.
11. Consequently, to the gallon and a half of Distilled Water, put:

    Copper Sulphate.............2 1/2 pounds,
Zinc............................8 drams,
Sulphuric Acid C.P..............2 ounces.

    These would be the ingredients for producing the charge.
12. Then, connections would be used for carrying into the body one day the vibrations from Chloride of Gold, and the next day Atomidine.
13. When using the Gold, - attach the copper plate to the 9th dorsal plexus, and the larger nickel plate - through which the vibration passes from the Gold Solution (in the proportion of one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water) - would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus - which is four fingers from the navel center to the right and two fingers above and in a straight line from same. Make the attachments in this manner every other day, for thirty minutes - during the first series.
14. Every other day, - that is, on the days between the Gold applications, - when using the Atomidine, - attach the small copper plate to the 4th lumbar, and the larger nickel plate - through which the vibration from the Atomidine passes (commercial strength Atomidine, but using two containers, or two of the two-ounce bottles of same) - would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, the same as the Gold. Make the attachments in this manner every other day, for thirty minutes - during the first series.
15. Do these for the full thirty days, - that is, fifteen full applications with each solution, you see, - and then recharge the Appliance; continuing then in the same manner, except making the attachments THEN for ONE HOUR each day - rather than thirty minutes each day! but only use for thirty minutes for the first series. After the thirty days, recharge the Appliance and also change the Gold Solution and the Atomidine - preparing same in the same proportions; the only difference in the treatment then being in the longer period of application.
16. Also each day - following the use of the Appliance - massage the body thoroughly with an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Olive Oil. Massage the cerebrospinal system, from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, in a circular motion on either side of the spine and down the area of the spine; also massaging the limbs, - especially the under side of the limbs.
17. Take at least thirty minutes each day of administering this massage, and let it be done not just as something to be gotten through with, but that the body may be benefitted by same. Massage all the body will absorb, especially into those areas along the spine, and across the hip area, and the lower portion of the base of the brain, and under the knees.
18. Then, the diet:
19. Especially have at least an ounce of Carrot Juice each day. Use a Juicer to extract the juice from fresh, raw carrots. This quantity would be taken during the morning.
20. During the afternoon, take an ounce of Beet Juice. This would be prepared by cooking the beets - with the tops chopped with same (that is, the beet tops, see?) - in Patapar Paper; no water in same, just the pure juice from the beets and their tops, you see.
21. Both of these juices would be sipped; not taken in one gulp, but sipped very slowly; taking at least fifteen minutes to drink that amount, - sipping a little at the time and letting it mix with the mouth fluids.
22. Of course, have plenty of well-cooked vegetables; not raw vegetables so much for this body, save a little of celery and lettuce occasionally (AND the carrot juice, to be sure).
23. Fish, fowl or lamb may be taken occasionally; and plenty of broths. No fried foods.
24. Plenty of cereals, as the whole wheat or cut oats or Maltex - cooked a long time.
25. Plenty of citrus fruit juices, but DO NOT take these at the same meal when the cereals are taken! Alternate these from day to day.
26. A little exercise may be taken, and keep in the open as much as possible - getting as much of the sun's rays as possible for all portions of the body.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) What is the reason for the one-sided headache, pain behind the nose, disorder in the eyes, and the feeling of discomfort and disorder in my right side?
    (A) All of these are the nerves that are gradually disintegrating.
29. (Q) Will my sense of balance, orderly procedure and well-being, return?
    (A) If there is the consistent use of those applications as we have suggested here, yes.
30. (Q) What is responsible for the unusual increase in weight, when food is so uncomfortable and I feel so wretchedly?
    (A) This is from the wrong character of diet, as we have indicated; by the suggesting of the character of foods that are to be taken in the present.
31. (Q) Where should I plan to live?
    (A) Where the climate is much warmer, if it is practical for the body.
32. (Q) Should I drive a car?
    (A) No!
33. (Q) What can I do about employment?
    (A) Employ the best of self in the present for the retarding and the correcting of the disturbances; and then there will be the abilities to use self in those directions in which the greater aids may be had for the employment of mind and body.
    Do these, as indicated.
34. We are through with this Reading.
