Time and Place: 4:05 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Tenn.

TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the desires, the inclinations; and those disturbances in body and in mind, and in the contemplations of this body.
Apparently greater disturbances have arisen as in association and connection with the organs of elimination in reference to the uric forces, as well as the effect of these upon the extremities.
We would keep up the rubs as have been indicated, in a consistent manner.
And in the present we would take small quantities of Atomidine, in a consistent manner as we will indicate; not becoming lax and yet not overdoing it, but being consistent with same; that is:
The first day take one drop in half a glass of water before the morning meal, or upon arising. Do this for three days.
Then increase the dose to two minims each morning for three days.
Then increase it to three minims for three days.
Then leave it off entirely for three days.
Begin then with one minim (or drop) again, for three days; increase one drop each three days as before until FIVE drops are taken on the fifth series or cycle, see?
Then leave off for three days.
Then begin with one drop again, adding one more drop every three days until the dosage is TEN drops on the last three days, see?
Then leave off for one month.
Then begin all over again.
In the meantime, have at least two or three GENERAL manipulations osteopathically, to equalize the system; or else don't take any of the suggested treatments.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1/19/39 EC's letter to Mrs. [1645]:
"...Do hope the suggestions will help. Of course you realize it is the carrying of them out, not merely just having them. It is like our religion - no good unless you practice it in your daily life with others - not much to just talk about, but much to be lived in one's daily life; for as we do to the least we meet every day, so we do to our Maker.
"Let me hear from you. Take some more treatments of Dr. Shackleford. Give him an opportunity to do something for his fellowman, and not for just money. With best regards..."
1/23/39 [1645]'s letter to EC:
"...I received your Reading Saturday morning, January 21st, and took it to Dr. Shackleford that afternoon. He called two of our largest drug companies in the city and neither of them knew what Atomidine was. Said they had never heard of it, so Dr. Shackleford asked me to write you and ask you what it is and where to get it as he had never heard of it also.
"I was very much surprised to get the Reading, as I had written you that we would just postpone the Reading for a while. However, I appreciate it very much and hope you are not displeased at my asking for it. I felt sure you could tell me something that could help me. However, you did not mention the anemic condition. I was very anxious about that. It has been one of my stubborn troubles all along, and felt sure you could help relieve that.
"I shall try very hard to carry out all of your instructions, just as I did last fall, but you know when you have to go two and three times a week to a doctor it doesn't take it long to run up into a large bill and that was what mine was doing.
"Kindly tell us all about the Atomidine that you can and just where you think we might get it.
"I sincerely thank you for the unexpected Reading..."
1/26/39 EC wrote sending circular on Atomidine.
3/01/40 Report by EC's sister, Mrs. W. A. McPherson:
"...She came to me for oil packs about 3 weeks at beginning of treatment. It was all in opposition to husband and daughter - she followed it only a short period. I tried to contact her for report. They say she is on the bed a great deal of her time. As yet I haven't been able to talk to her..."
