TEXT

1. LS: You now have before you the body of [4491] who was present in her home, ... Avenue, ..., Ohio, at eight o'clock in the morning, November 13th, 1924. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief for this body. You will answer any questions I may ask you relative to the physical conditions of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body and these may be corrected. They have to do with the functioning of organs as affected by conditions as have existed, and do exist, in the body, produced principally by improper eliminations and by nerve strains, produced by lesions that are formed in the system.
3. In many respects we find the body very good, yet the vitality in the system is often disturbed by congestion as is produced in portions of the body, causing distress in different functioning portions in the system, coming in the form of catarrhal conditions, and if allowed to become malignant conditions would be destructive to tissue in such conditions. In the condition then we have much minutia of tissue involved, but these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4491], we are speaking of.
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this a condition that arises from this poor elimination and that causes destruction in red blood supply, though at times the body is strong in resistive forces. Again the same condition would produce distresses in portions of the body.
5. In the division then we find the red blood below normal, though pressure normal. The white blood supply below normal, though leucocytes above normal; that is, the lymph and the destructive forces in white blood is at an excess in the body.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are conditions in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar where distresses and irritation are produced in the body at times. The body has been well cared for in many ways, else we would have more destructive forces in the system than we have at present. In this region (lower dorsal, upper lumbar) we find lesions that disturb the eliminations, especially in the kidneys, producing irritation at times and again producing irritation through the functioning of the glands in the pelvic region. In the reflexes from these we find conditions in the upper cervicals that disturbs the circulation through facial portions of body at times.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, in this we find the greater distress at times.
8. Brain forces very good. Active.
9. Sensory organism, the organs of same, very good. Only under strain at the times, headaches produced by condition in pelvic region and in upper cervicals.
10. In the throat, bronchials, larynx, we find these show the strain of the eliminations through this congestion that comes in the blood supply from conditions in the body, as we will see.
11. Lung forces show this same effect; hence the depressions that come to the body at times through respiratory system. Not an exaggerated condition, not distressing, yet subnormal, by the circulation.
12. Stomach and the digestive tract in upper portions show nerve reaction, especially in the spleen. Hence the body is by nature, or by natural forces, either very much depressed or shows elation, or the reaction of same in body.
13. Liver and the digestive organs of the intestines show the effect of this elimination, and the congestion forms in duodenum and in the intestinal tract. Hence the troubles the body has at times through the intestinal system, for with these congestions being thrown off and eliminated by the system being forced into elimination gives distress through overtaxed circulation. Hence the increase in the lymph and leucocyte, or that to produce the coagulation in the system and to give the vital forces necessary to keep equilibrium.
14. Poisons as produced this in the body have come from toxins as formed in the region of the Peyers' Gland, and of the lacteal ducts. This has been in times back and lesions formed in pelvis, lower dorsal and upper lumbar regions, has only exaggerated conditions, and are two specific conditions in the body.
15. In the lacteal ducts we find the walls thinned. Hence the food values to the system are not always proper. Hence the body should, as has been at times, be careful of the diet for rebuilding in the body.
16. Lower hepatic circulation, hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, shows the strain of full flow. Hence the depression in the central portion of body, or just above the umbilicus at times. Only a taxation to the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, and not an organic or depressing condition to be warned of, other than to keep equilibrium in the body.
17. Then to bring the normal forces to this body, in their correct manner, would be to keep equalized eliminations through the whole system, by diets, by the kind of water taken, and by vibration as would be accorded from electrical forces, carrying properties that would be healing to centers, especially in the nerve system.
18. Taking then as these, at least once each week: Good, thorough, manipulations, osteopathically given - DEEP.
19. The diet of those properties of green vegetable forces and matter as much as possible. Little of meats, save of beef or beef teas, carrying properties at times of iron as we would find in Wythe's Beef Iron and Wine, taking the vibrations of electrical forces from these:
20. To two gallons of rain water, add:

    Heavy Sea Salt...........1 pound,
Plain Charcoal...........1 pound,
Sulphuric Acid C.P...1 1/2 ounces,
Common Zinc..............6 drams,
Copper Sulphate......1 1/2 pounds.

    These would be placed in a glass container.
21. These, as we will find, with the copper sulphate, would produce a vibration, yet these should be charged with low voltage and high vibration until the discharge reaches at least five and one-half ohms.
22. While this solution is being charged, we would keep in this one pound opaque container of iodine, using the heavy copper and the heavy nickel plate when these are being charged, as poles, using the nickel and copper plate when the vibrations from same are being accorded the body, attaching small wires to the ends of poles, to which small plates would be attached, and these plates (small plates) attached the one to ankle the other to the wrist, on opposite sides of the body, yet changed every second day. These should be given at least for one hour each evening; keeping these vibrations, these eliminations, this diet, the vibrations in the osteopathic eliminations, we will bring the body to a normal condition.
23. Do that.
24. (Q) Is there anything organically wrong with the lungs or respiratory system?
    (A) Only as the congestion shows in the form of catarrhal conditions. No organic conditions, or broken cell tissue, other than full cell tissue.
25. (Q) Should one pole be made of copper and one of nickel?
    (A) One pole shall be of copper, the other of nickel, heavy metal, half inch wide, quarter inch thick, sufficient length to reach to the bottom of container and high enough above, through a plank or cover, for the wire to be attached to.
26. (Q) Should both plates be of copper, and what size?
    (A) One of copper, one of nickel, very thin, just sufficient size that the vibrations may be received by the body, so that they will fasten around wrist and around ankle, left side and right side.
27. (Q) How long shall the electrical vibration be accorded the body?
    (A) Until at least the vibration has been charged twice, which would be from eight to ten weeks, whole time.
    Do not let the feet get damp, or wet, during the time that these vibrations are being taken, else we will have a repression to the congestion in the lower dorsal and the lumbar region.
28. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 11/18/24 Mr. Shroyer wrote to Steel Sales Corporation, Chicago, Illinois:
   Gentlemen:
   Please rush special delivery parcel post c.o.d., 1 pc. of bar nickel 1/2" x 1 & 1/4" x 14" to the following address: Linden Shroyer, 21 Emmet Street, Dayton, Ohio.
   [This was needed by Tim Brown in order to make up the Wet Cell Appliance for Mrs. [4491].]
2. 11/11/29 Husband [5580]'s letter: "...Mrs. [4491] is not well and in spite of various treatments which we have been giving her, she does not seem able to regain her strength. I therefore want a physical reading for her as soon as we can get to it..."
3. 1/04/30 Husband [5580]'s letter to Dr. L. A. Lydic at the Cayce Hospital: "...[4491] and [...] both feel that there are no other doctors in town since you have gone. We both hope you will like it and that our paths may cross again many times..."
4. GD's note: Some correspondence passed between Mr. [5580] and EC regarding his wife [4491] coming to Cayce Hospital for treatment. Early in 1930 Mr. [5580] had a business reading but no second physical reading was given for Mrs. [4491] and she did not come to Cayce Hospital for treatment.
