TEXT

1. HLC: 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, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2806].
3. Now, as we find, conditions are very serious with this body. The effect of the tubercle through the digestive system is that which prevents the body's being able to assimilate foods.
4. For, the activity of the lacteals and the secretions in pylorus and duodenum have destroyed any association of the necessary fluids for assimilation.
5. Thus the inability of the body to build up. This necessarily, then, has become the involvement to the lungs, the liver, the kidneys.
6. This need not necessarily be fatal, - if there would be the beginning, immediately, with the taking of the ACIGEST; about three-fourths of a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred in a glass of raw milk. And if this milk is fresh from the cow, still with the animal heat in same, all the better. Though the body in the beginning may not be able to take more than one or two glasses of the milk, so treated, within two or three days, do begin this as quickly as possible. This may be kept in the icebox until the glassful is consumed. Do not attempt to take too much of same at first, in the beginning; but even though it is only half a glass, or a quarter glass at the time, try to take it. And then a few hours later take a part of the rest, and then the rest of it later. Just do not overtax the body.
7. Do give other pre-digested foods; as the eggnog (very weak), the strained oatmeal; but no heavy foods nor fat foods.
8. Do have, at least every other day, the CALCIOS - the quantity that would be spread as butter on a whole wheat cracker.
9. Do prepare Pure Apple Brandy (not Applejack, but pure Apple Brandy) in a charred keg. In a gallon or gallon and a half keg, put two holes in the end of the keg (not through the bung) that may be corked up, - one a small hole for air, the other sufficiently large to put a tube, a vent or a reed through same through which the body may inhale ONLY the fumes from this brandy, - not the brandy itself. Hence in this size container, there would be used not more than half a gallon of the Brandy. Keep the keg where the Brandy will evaporate, but keep the keg corked tightly when not in use.
10. Use this two or three times a day.
11. Begin with the Acigest as soon as practical. Don't overdo it. Don't take more than a whole glass of the milk treated with the three-quarters teaspoonful of Acigest in one day; not more than that. If this is overirritating, cut down the quantity to half a teaspoonful. Stir this in the milk warm from the cow. ONLY raw milk is to be used.
12. If the body responds, then in three to four weeks we would give further instructions.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) How will those giving the Acigest know whether or not she is getting too much?
    (A) By the burning in the stomach, or the vomiting of same, or the causing of same to produce blood in the stool.
    Do these things, if we will give the body the opportunity to respond.
    Be consistent, be persistent; and the body will respond according to the faith and the persistency with which these things are used.
15. We are through for the present.

    (Acigest and Calcios are both distributed by The Colloidal Health Products Co., Atten. A. A. Nichoson, Greenvale, Long Island. The Acigest sells for $1 a bottle; it is a form of hydrochloric acid that is easily assimilated if taken in the manner indicated. Calcios is free calcium, easily assimilated, being a syrupy paste in a jar that sells for $2.50.
    See drawing [which was enclosed] which illustrates the manner in which the charred oak keg should be prepared for inhaling Apple Brandy Fumes.)

BACKGROUND

1. Tuberculosis (last stages...sent home from hospital, no hope offered.)

REPORTS

1. 9/15/42 Wire to A. A. Nichoson: "Please advise when you mailed Calcios and Acigest..."
2. 9/19/42 Mrs. [1548] phoned: "The medicine hasn't come yet. We're just using the keg, and she seems some better - more strength. We feel she will recover if we could just get the Acigest and Calcios."
3. 10/08/42 Phone call from another cousin, Miss [...] [who had heard Mrs. [2743]'s reading and followed the treatment for her]:
   "Mrs. [2806] got a lot better after following the treatments. They received the Calcios and Acigest, and she was a lot better after that, but she was just too far gone - I felt all the time it was too late, but we believed there was a chance. She died Monday morning, 10/05/42. Now I'm calling to see if we can make an appointment right away for a Mr. [2827]..."
