TEXT

1. EC: One and one half miles north-east - yes, it's one and five-eighths.¹
2. Yes, we have the body here, [3599].
3. Here we have a result of the absorption of certain food values that arise from eating a certain character of foods. The character of dross it makes in the body-functioning causes a fungi that produces in the system a crystallization of the muscles and nerves in portions of the body. These have been in the pelvic organs, the whole lumbar-sacral area, portions of the sciatic nerves, the knees and feet - all of these are giving distress. These began as acute pain, rheumatic or neuritic. They are closer to neuritic-arthritic reactions.
4. This is pork - the effect of same.
5. As to activities or administrations that may purify the body-forces here, if properly given there would be necessitated an attendant or a nurse - not necessarily a trained nurse, though of course, this would be better, but at least a practical nurse who knows something about the anatomy so that she may give the body the massages properly every two weeks following the Epsom Salts Baths.
6. Use at least forty gallons of water and twenty pounds of Epsom Salts, just as warm as the body can well stand to remain in same. While the body is in the bath let the massage be given especially to the limbs, the sacral areas across the hips over the back. Follow this with a good shower and a rubdown, and rub the body over those areas - the limbs, the feet, the sacral, the lumbars, all along the spine, with an equal combination of Olive Oil (heated) and Tincture of Myrrh.
7. The body should first be prepared for such an Epsom Salts Bath by the taking internally of Atomidine, one drop each morning before breakfast in half a glass of water for four days, and on the fifth day take five drops. That evening take the Epsom Salts Bath. But be sure there is an attendant. Be sure there is the massage given while the body is in the Bath, as indicated, and then massage with the oils afterwards.
8. There should be the series of these Baths for at least three times, two weeks apart.
9. Thus we should find help for the body.
10. Make changes in the diet. Do not take hog meat of any kind. Very seldom have beef. Fish, fowl and lamb may be taken, but not any of these fried.
11. Do have raw vegetables as a portion of one meal each day, especially water cress, onions, radishes, celery, lettuce, carrots and cooked beets (not pickled). These may be prepared with gelatin quite often. It is not necessary that all of these be taken the same way each day, but have some of these every day.
12. For the sources of disturbances that will be an aid to the general physical forces of the body, do have each week warm or hot douches with Glyco-Thymoline - as hot as the body can take. Use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart of water, only with a fountain syringe. These will be helpful in correcting the disturbances of the leucorrhea that has caused a great deal of disturbance to the body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What causes sore spot on my back?
    (A) Read what we have just given. Crystallization of muscular forces for the body. Do as outlined.
15. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/10/44 Letter: "I have suffered for years from some form of Rheumatism in my knees. Last summer I took treatments from an osteopath. He told me I have arthritis. Am I taking food that is harmful to me? Is there some kind of foods I should have that I am not getting? What causes sore spot on my back?
   Nearly 2 yrs. ago I had my womb removed. Since then sexual intercourse has been so painful it has caused much unhappiness for my husband and me. Is there a remedy for that?"

REPORTS

1. 4/02/44 Mrs. [2072]'s letter: "Also, Mr. [...] whose wife [3599] you recently gave a rdg., approached [1861] down town and said they had been very well pleased at the results she had gotten from the rdg. already. We were glad to hear of Mrs. [3599] as we had not heard of her since before she had it."
