TEXT

1. 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, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes. The disturbances as we find with this body arise primarily from the lack of keeping a balance in the chemical forces of the body.
3. Primarily, certain elements are the sources of the changes that assist the organisms of the body in reproducing themselves. Here, as it were, the "batteries" of the body, or the nerve systems, have not been allowed to be kept charged - because of the lack of sufficient water in the "batteries". Or, the mental and material things have been at variance too oft one with the other.
4. Thus we have a congestion in the larger gland (the liver), in the right lobe of same, and this has caused the digestive forces of the body to become lacking in sufficient supply to glandular bodies.
5. Thus the conditions in the blood stream are such that there is a lack of proper ability toward coagulation. This is indicated by conditions about the head and portions of the body. The lack of supply is to the lymph circulation that is reduced by the incoordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic or vegetative nerve forces. These produce, then, rather a complication - or complex conditions through the general organism. Then we have the heart, the liver, the lungs and the kidneys (as the central nervous forces, the central supply, as indicated) gradually running down in their ability to supply the energies for same.
6. Here we find that the greater energies may be attained by the use of the low form of electrical vibrations that would supply to all organs a varied vibration set in motion.
7. Use, then, the Wet Cell Appliance as the Radio-Active Appliance is commonly used, except here we would have the anodes or the points made into rods and these would be held in the hand and placed on a piece of glass and the bare foot set on same. Use the regular charge for the Appliance. Recharge the Appliance every thirty days. Make the applications each day for thirty minutes.
8. Periodically, once a week, we would have the distributing of these energies through the body by mechanical mean, - that is, the osteopathic or Mechano-Therapy treatments; not chiropractic methods here, but those that carry over between the neuropath and the osteopathy - stimulating glandular centers; that is, where the lack of coordination has existed in the larger patches - between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system. These should be stimulated to activity - the coccyx, the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 3rd and 4th and 2nd dorsal, 3rd cervical, 1st and 2nd cervical - along the spine. Also there should be the stimulation on the frontal portion of the body at the base of the thorax, just at the pit of the stomach, and at the pubic centers. Stimulate all of these areas once a week, and we will gradually find the body gaining strength.
9. In the matter of the diet, - this we would keep well balanced with additional quantities of iodine to the body - that may be supplied in an abundance of shell fish, sea foods and the like. Of course, have plenty of fresh, raw vegetables; especially carrots, beets, lettuce, celery and water cress. These may often be prepared with gelatin.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Do I have heart trouble?
    (A) What is it that you haven't got, if you set yourself to look for it! This is a part of the conditions indicated; not as heart trouble but as a sympathetic condition, with the weaknesses in other organs of the body.
12. (Q) What are the two lumps on the side of my spine, just below the waist, that are moveable?
    (A) These are accumulations of the ducts there. With the massage and with the use of the Appliance, these will be dissipated through the system rather than setting themselves up as a body within themselves.
13. (Q) Pain and stiffness top of neck or base of brain?
    (A) These are a part of the conditions indicated that need dissipation through the application of the low vibrations of electrical forces, coming from lack of eliminations and poor circulation at times. For, in the body it will be found that oft the hands and feet are at quite different temperatures, or the mouth and the torso would be quite different in temperature. Do those things indicated and we will find help. Be persistent, be consistent. But with the applications, use that attained for good.
14. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/28/43 Mrs. [3324]'s letter: "On Oct. 28th at your request I will be at 232 4th St. No. between 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. ..., Fla.
   My questions are.
   1. What is causing this head trouble, I have had for nine years and have had 13 Drs. none have helped me. 2. Can I be cured? 3. Have I heart trouble? 4. There are two lumps on the side of my spine, just below the waist. I can move them around, what are they? 5. At the top of my neck or base of the brain I have a constant pain - my neck is quite stiff."
2. 10/16/43 Mrs. [3324]'s letter: "Shall I sell my property in the north now if I have an opportunity and what price can I get for it?"
3. 10/25/43 Mrs. [3324]'s letter: "I have had this trouble for nine years, and thirteen Dr.'s have not been able to relieve me. I have it once in every 24 hours, lasting some times all day or all night and then (?) again only five or six hours. It starts with sneezing many times, and in a minute later my nose will discharge most profusely a water like substance, and can have a bath towel wet in an hour. After this discharge my nose and head seem to tighten up and I can hardly breath, but once over it I feel all right. I have been given all kind of treatment - Osteopathic - Chiropractic and medicine nose drops - diets and then told to come to Florida, but nothing has helped. In the last week another trouble has developed when I turn over on my side at night or try to get up from the bed or chair, I get these dizzy spells, and feel and if I was being carried to the ceiling, but really never loose consciousness. I fear this may result in a fall.
   "I would appreciate if you could give me an earlier appointment. I shall eagerly wait your reply."

REPORTS

1. 11/08/43 Mrs. [3324]'s letter: "Your reading received, and feel well satisfied and really believe you have found the trouble and will be glad to do my part, as you have suggested. I am a stranger here, and find there are many Osteopath, or therapy Dr.'s but fear I will not get the right one. Can you suggest one to me here I would appreciate it very much.
   "...Am I to send check for the 'Wet Cell Appliance' to you or Mr. Godfrey or do I pay it on delivery."
   [GD's note: Mr. Godfrey's record shows that she did order the Appliance, but we have no follow-up.]
2. Routine mailing in 1948 was returned marked NO ADDRESS.
