TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical conditions of this body at the present time, giving particularly the cause of the lump in the right side, what produces it, and how it should be relieved.
2. EC: The body and the conditions in same are very much better than that when we had it before. While it's not feeling good this afternoon, and there has been some trouble and distress in the lower portion of the stomach proper, yet the general condition in body is greatly improved.
3. The lump, or the hardening of tissue in the region of the body here, in right side, as we see, is and was produced by the centers of the hypogastric plexus becoming engorged on account of the strain produced in the body, and is a form of impact in the intestinal tract. This condition only needs to be kept in that manner and way as outlined, until the condition is removed by the system adjusting itself, and the equalization is created in the system. Keep up the packs of hot oils over the portions of body causing the distress, and let the cloths be large enough to cover the other portions of the body, from the lower portion of the duodenum to the seat of ascending colon. Still taking in the system the properties of the ragweed, until the whole intestinal tract is thoroughly cleansed.
4. Let the diet be those properties easily digested: Bran, whole wheat, eggs (coddled), milk, better using that which has been churned than the cream milk; vegetables, those that carry a great deal of stimulus in them, such as salsify, celery, carrots, radishes, potatoes (Irish) prepared in the correct manner for the body, which would be with the cooking whole, either in fire or boiling, with the jackets on. Whole wheat bread when any bread is taken, and as much of sea foods as the body may desire. No meats, save the fish or fowl, using the manipulation over those portions in the dorsal region that will continue to assist in the eliminations through the liver, so treating the liver as to empty the gall duct and allow the system to rest sufficient to take care of these needs. This, we see, will do away with the nausea that the body experiences when there is the odor of foods being prepared.
5. Exercise most should be taken in the open.
6. (Q) How long at a time should the hot packs be left on the body?
   (A) About two applications in an hour's time. Keep them for about an hour each day. Keep this up. We will through these conditions bring this body to the normal forces.
7. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 11/16/24 Letter (requesting a check-physical for her little daughter [4281]): "...I am better but not well yet. I have not had time for the rest I should have had, this past month. I am still using the packs and the tonic, too. The lump is about one-third the size it was in the beginning..."
2. 11/29/24 Letter: "...Now, I want you to go over my case again, as the lump in my side continues about one-third its former size. Dr. Layne wants to know if the hot applications of water wouldn't help to remove this lump. I am yet using the hot oil and taking the ragweed tonic. Please see if there is anything else I can do to get this lump reduced and to soon regain my strength..."
3. 12/15/24 EC gave her a fourth reading - 4280-4.
