4/20/44 Wife's letter: "At the suggestion of our friend,
Mother [
1010], I am writing you for a Physical Reading for my
husband who is now in Ward 9 A of the ... General Hospital in
..., Tenn. Our friend thinks this case is really desperately
urgent, and hopes you will be kind enough to give it your
immediate attention before my husband is moved to another
ward and the doctors want to perform a spinal operation just
because they don't know what is wrong with him. He has a
terrible aching pain in his body some place most of the time.
Started on Jan. 1, 1941 under his left shoulder blade. In
May it was across the small of his back, and some times in
his chest. October 1942, he had terrific pain in right hip
and could not walk, was in hospital 6 weeks, and doctors
could not find cause of pain. About 2 months later, the pain
started to travel throughout his body. So far, he has had no
relief whatsoever from this, nor can they tell him the cause
of it. These last 2 weeks he has been in constant pain,
seems to be getting worse. In hips, back, legs, or some
place all the time. (1) What is the cause of this pain?
(2) Is it nerves, muscular, in the bones, blood stream, or
what? (3) If caused by some poison being thrown off in his
system, where is it coming from? (4) What can be done to
give him some relief from this terrific pain? (5) Can he be
cured and how? The questions are as Mrs. [
1010] suggested to
me, and I put my plea with hers to please give him your
immediate attention before this constant suffering affects
his mind, or the doctors start cutting. Can you possibly
tell what is causing this pain that is in his body most of
the time?"
5/03/44 Wife's letter: "Could you possibly set my husband's
reading up to May 6 or May 8, at the same time of the day, as
he is being discharged because they cannot find out what is
wrong with him, or do anything to give him relief. So he may
not be there on the 11th. If you possibly can, please do; if
not, go ahead on the 11th, unless I wire you he has left. I
am leaving here the 6th to go to Memphis, and do not know
where I will be located, so will have to notify you next week
as to where to mail his reading. Sorry to have to bother you
with extra instructions, etc., but can't be helped this time.
You know how the Army is. Thank you in advance..."
5/08/44 Wife's letter: "This is to inform you that my husband
will still be in the hospital as per the information I sent
you... I will remain here at the hotel until then, so please
mail his reading to me here. I will appreciate it very much,
as we are so very anxious to know what is causing all his
trouble"
REPORTS
5/20/44 Mr. [
2998]'s letter: "Yesterday, Mrs. R. I. L.
[[
5085]'s wife] came into the office with her husband's
reading. He expects to be released from the ... Hospital,
Monday or Tuesday. His plan is to leave Tenn. for Calif.,
Wednesday or Thursday, and he and his wife hope to be able to
get a treatment or two before leaving town, so as to prepare
him for the discomforts of the trip. I was very glad that
you sent Mrs. R. I. L. to me, as I soon learned that she and
her husband know practically nothing of your work and needed
a good bit of explanation and encouragement. Her husband has
been in Government hospitals for a long time, and has been
x-rayed so often that he could paper a house with the
negatives. He has had every type of treatment, yet no one
has yet discovered the cause of his condition, and no one has
been able to give him even temporary relief.
"Your diagnosis and treatment was so astoundingly simple that
these people questioned it. I believe that Mrs. R. I. L. can
now be classed as a convert, and will take sufficient hope
and encouragement to her husband. I arranged for the
treatment, and drilled into her skull the necessity of
following the treatment literally. I pointed out that her
husband was not to be talked into accepting any substitutes;
that when you said 'put the body in hot water and massage it
there', you meant in a tub and not under a shower bath. I
also told her that when you said general massage was to be
given with half Olive Oil and half Peanut Oil, you meant just
that, and no more and no less, and that these items are to be
used and substitutes are not to be considered. I finally
told her that if he did not receive the expected relief, it
would be because the instructions were not literally
followed, and I suggested a check reading with questions. I
just wanted to make this report to you, so that you would
know the [
5085]'s are getting attention... I know that you
are too busy to answer this letter, and no answer is
necessary."
7/44 Second class test mailing returned with forwarding
address.
8/44 Wife's letter: "Will you please change my address in
your files. This is the second notification I have sent, and
as you can see by the enclosed envelope, the lack of
correction has been a nuisance to many people. Please take
care of this."
3/21/45 Wife's notation on publication order: "I have
checked 2 reports below [Arthritis and Streptococcus
Infection] that I should like. Would you kindly check and
see if there are any reports on 'ostitious' or 'osteoitis'
that I could have? Enclosed is a dollar for copies of
'Arthritis' and 'Streptococcus Infection.' Keep change, if
any."
7/02/50 Questionnaire sent. No reply.
8/06/52 No record of verbal or written contact on this case
since
3/21/45.
