TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as surround same here. Now, as we find with this body, there is rather the complication of conditions that disturb the body, and these have been and are of such natures that when some conditions have been aided by specific applications, the apparent detrimental conditions to other forces in system have proven unsatisfactory.
2. These, as we find, are in the functioning of the heart's action, the pancreas disturbance with digestion, and the effect upon the kidneys and their conditions in the system.
3. These make for some very unsatisfactory conditions at times, and at others the body rests rather easily - when the heart has, as it were, adjusted itself to the conditions in the system. The kidneys, and the strain on the various organs as affected by same, and the disturbance in the hepatic circulation, cause - or are of greater distresses at times, with concurrent or altered effects to the heart's action, which is rather of a sympathetic than of the organic order, as is the effect of the pancrean disorder in the system, affecting the digestion and assimilation - which is a contributory cause of the heart's depression.
4. In considering, then, changes - or that that would be beneficial to the body under the existent circumstances, as we find, it would be rather hard on the system to make any decided changes in the present conditions; for the heart stimuli in the one direction is necessary, that the pulsation and the respiration be kept well active. While these are at times overtaxing to the system in the elimination (that is already disturbed), yet - as we find - were these properly added (while they are already of the proprietary, or of the nature that may easily be had), these, in their proper relation, with those that are being applied, would be helpful and beneficial to the body's gaining the better control of the incoordination in the system, especially as relative to the disturbing forces that have been and are combative one with another through the applications as have been made, and are being made for the body at times, [3833] we are speaking of.
5. We would, then, add - after the meals (and we would not change the diet as has been outlined at present, though this may come sometime later) - one to two tablets of the cod liver oil, White's the preferable, or Pearls of Cod Liver Oil. That necessary in same is, that these will act - as we find - with the assimilations in such a way and manner as to be less affecting the heart in the circulation with those properties that are being taken for the aiding of the circulation in the present.
6. Then, at least once each day we would take Atomidine - this to be effective with the glands in the system. We would not take more than three to five drops in half a glass of water, of evenings. Now, with the first, second or third dose of this, we will find there will be the appearance of some disorder - a fullness to the head, or as of a thumping or drumming in same. This will pass off, if these are continued, and will make for those reactions in the vibratory forces of the system as to be most beneficial with those properties that are being taken, or given, both in diet and in other manners, for the disturbance in the pancreas and the duodenum, and of the kidneys especially. We would do this.
7. In the applications be consistent and persistent, and in three to five weeks we would give further instructions.
8. Ready for questions.
9. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. Born 9/26/1898.
2. 4/02/32 Mr. [437] wrote EC: "I am enclosing herewith application for physical reading for Mr. [3833] which was solicited by his close friend Mr. Emil Mossbacher."

REPORTS

1. 4/12/32 EC's letter to Mr. Goetz:
   We are sending to you the original and a copy of the information gotten for Mr. [383] this morning. I trust this will prove of some help.
   Mr. Goetz, don't misunderstand me about individuals making requests. Such may be made through very close friends, but the individuals should at least be acquainted with the fact and willing for this to be done. The more often we find we have requests through the solicitation of some very close personal friend or member of the family. For instance, we are in receipt of a request from a very close friend or relative of Mrs. [5640] - a Mrs. [4164] who says she has seen the results in Mrs. [5640]'s experience. Of course, as you say, that's just the way the work SHOULD spread. The booklets will certainly assist us in keeping the suggestion before individuals.
2. GD's note: Mr. [3833] died from brain tumor five years later. We doubt if he ever knew of or followed the reading.
