TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, with special reference to the weak feeling and the difficult breathing; also with suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here.
Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal physical functioning. These as we find arise from the inclinations and tendencies that have allowed the absorption or contraction of a malarial reaction in the system.
Hence we find reactions of a weakness in the general physical activity, debilitation as it were in the whole of the feelings; with a little achey feeling over the body, especially in the afternoon, and then later in the evening feeling somewhat better, with a tiredness returning as it were of a morning - and we would find a little temperature.
In the general forces then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1528]:
We find in the blood supply the effects of the toxic force which has been indicated as being a part of the general disturbance.
In the lumbar, as well as in the upper dorsal and portions of the cervical, we find subluxations that produce an impingement which has allowed or caused these inclinations to arise.
And the effect of these has been upon the activity of the hepatic circulation and particularly the upper portion of same - the inclinations to overeat, and the inclinations at other times for lack of any desire for normal appetites.
In the nervous system, then, we find the greater inclination; though the effects are through the activities of the organs as indicated, with special reference to the lung forces and the respiratory system.
As we find, then, in making applications:
First, there should be at least six or eight DEEP adjustments made in the upper dorsal and cervical; coordinating particularly the lumbar axis with same.
Then, after the first or second such adjustment, we would take internally the Bromo-Laxative Quinine tablets - four a day; two of morning and two of evening - until about six have been taken.
Following same, then, after the eliminations have been begun by the Bromo-Laxative Quinine, we would take a whole small sized bottle (900 drops) of Fletcher's Castoria, in broken doses; that is, about a teaspoonful every hour until the whole quantity has been taken.
Then, after there has been a flushing of the system - when sufficient of the tablets have been taken to cause the perfect elimination, or a flushing of the system - with the Castoria, we would begin a tonic such as may be had in Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic (it is not very tasteless, but it's called that!). This would be taken regularly as is indicated for same on the bottle.
As to the activities of the body then, following these courses, we find that it would be well for the body to be in the woods and "rough it" for at least two or three weeks.
This should then make for the eliminating of the causes and "TUNE" as it were the whole strength and vitality of the body to the activities. Preferably, such should be in the North wood, or the mountain - as around Asheville, or in portions of the desert - as a part of Arizona or Colorado. Any of these, or any one that would be the more appealing to the body would be the course to pursue in THAT particular direction, see - AFTER the above indicated course of treatment is followed.
Ready for questions.
Do these and as we find the condition should be corrected.
Of course, during the whole period there should be the taking of precautions as to diet; but AFTERWARD there should be rather a ROUGH, plain diet - as would be taken in the outside activity, see?
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

8/17/38 Wife [1101]'s letter: "I would like to have a Physical Reading at once for [1528] at ... What is the weak feeling? What causes the occasional difficulty in breathing?"

REPORTS

2/05/39 Wife [1101]'s letter: "We would like a check reading on my husband, [1528]. The most convenient time for us would be some Sunday morning at our home ..., N.Y.C... What can we do for the condition of the first and second fingers on the right hand? What will improve the condition of the scalp and hair? In case diet and general condition isn't very thoroughly gone into please ask questions about them."
