TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Now, as we find, there are abnormal conditions in the physical forces of the body. These, in the manner, while the body is yet developing, are of comparatively long standing as to causes of same. In times back there was an injury to the body that made for later developments of pressures that have hindered in the coordination of physical energies, as exercised by organs of the system. Hence those recurrent conditions that make for spasmodic conditions of the nature that make repressions in the system. In the activity of same, these produce a reaction in the glands as affect the assimilations. Hence there are hardened conditions produced in the sympathetic cardiac plexus, or secondary, also in the region about those glands where digestion takes place in the system. These affecting the respiratory system makes for the reducing of the blood supply, under the strain that has existed, as well as making a form of condition in the system of the nature that prevents normal developments.
2. In those of pressures for the digestive system, these make for those reactions from those pressures in the sympathetic system, as produce those reflex spasmodics that cause the congestions to be reactive in the system.
3. In meeting, then, those conditions, as we find, while these may be aided, this will require some systematic consideration of both repressions that are produced in the body and those changes for the general physical conditions that may arise in the varied conditions as they appear from time to time.
4. In the beginning, then, we would add first as these:
5. Use the Radio-Active Appliance, the applications being made in this manner: Both plates or anodes should be of the size at least as large as a dollar, or larger on the one that is attached over the lacteal area, or that just below the liver and the end of the umbilicii, toward the right and toward the lower portion of the duodenum. The one attached to the secondary cardiac plexus, or the 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus, would be attached first. Then the one over the other area the last. This should be given at least thirty to sixty minutes each evening as the body is to rest.
6. Should this produce nausea, or an over reaction in either the jerking or spasmodic conditions, either from those that affect the lung or the brain's reaction through the sympathetic system, these would be reduced in period - but continued in their activity. Be sure that it does not short circuit by filling too much of the water in the container in which the appliance is placed.
7. In the matter of the diet during this period, we would make it that most easily digested by the system, and that is blood and nerve building; or, as in this:
8. Mornings - citrous fruits and nuts.
9. Noons - fruit juices that are seasonable, followed with arrowroot or junket, or the like.
10. Evenings - rather the malted milk, dry milk, and the meat juices. These taken in small quantities and more often are better than large quantities.
11. Do this for thirty-six days, and then we would give further instructions.
12. This, as we find, will require time, patience, persistence - but should bring about a much nearer normal condition for the body, [4823].
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Will the boy be cured?
    (A) That depends upon whether they are to do, or how the reactions take place in system.
15. (Q) About how long will it take?
    (A) Depends upon how the body responds, and how consistent and persistent the applications are. As will be seen, it will be necessary for several changes - and would require some months, but it should be worth it for those whom the body is dependent upon, as well as for the building up of the body.
16. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/21/32 EC's letter to [4823]'s father:
   Dear Mr. [...]:
   Enclosed you will find a copy of the information obtained for your son this morning. It seems that there will be some time required, and necessary changes as the conditions progress. This first outlined treatment is very simple and can be carried out at home. After the period given there should be a check-up, with specific questions as to what may be further done. You no doubt will talk with Mr. Levy concerning this. He will be able to explain to you just what is meant, and just what is needed. The appliance suggested would have to be obtained from the young man who makes a specialty of preparing these according to specifications, and who has charge of this department. His address is, Mr. Gray Salter, Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
   I hope that you will let us hear from you. Rest assured that if it is possible for us to be of service, that is our whole idea.
   Hoping that we may be of service in some way or manner, I am
   Sincerely, ASS'N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC. EC:GD
2. 7/26/32 Mr. Levy wrote asking EC to order the appliance according to specifications for young [4823] and to send him [David Levy] the bill.
3. 2/03/33 Mr. Levy's letter: "...Mr. [...] never followed out the reading for his son, [4823], and therefore never called for the battery. It is here and I will send it to you or if you care to leave it here in case anyone in N.Y. orders it I can deliver this battery for you to whoever orders same."
