TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
EC: Yes, we have the body here: [5402].
Conditions, as we find, are rather serious and grow more acute and are progressive in their nature. As we find there has been, from an outward pressure by a fall or the like, an injury to the segments in the lumbar area. This, combined with arthritic tendencies which have existed from toxic conditions in the colon, produces excruciating pain where there is the attempt to use locomotory centers. There is some swelling in the lower extremities as well as contraction in feet.
These, as we find, are the sources of the disorder. There may be brought some relief. Under the direction of the physician there should be applied Laudanum and Aconite - three parts Laudanum and one part Aconite - preferably apply this with a camel's hair brush over the lumbar and sacral area. Then, the next day, apply wet heat, and then make osteopathic adjustments of the segments where pressure exists.
Then we will find that the use also of Atomidine would be well as a purifier for the glandular system. This would be taken one drop each day for five days. On the next day take five drops and have an Epsom Salts Bath. This would be given with at least twenty pounds of Epsom Salts to forty gallons of water. The body would be put in this and massaged over limbs and the spine from the 9th dorsal at least on to the end of the spine; the limbs, the knees, the feet, the ankles, all of these. Then massage into the spine and limbs Peanut Oil; then rest five days.
After the series of these, there should be real relief from the pain. It may require at least two or three adjustments but will have to be preceded by the application of Laudanum and Aconite for the body to be able to stand the osteopathic adjustments and these should be preceded by relaxing the area with wet heat.
Do these and in the diet keep away from animal matter. For this body there should be little or no animal fat or animal matter. For the form of the activity of the infection is that which is created by, or lives upon, the animal matter.
These will bring the better conditions for this body.
We are through with this Reading.
Two copies to Daughter (one for the osteopath - If you do not already have a preference you might like to get in touch with Dr. John W. Mulford, 1818-19, Carew Tower, Cincinnati, who has had one of our members go to him with a reading. If not, please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)

Two for indexing
(You have to have a doctor's prescription for the laudanum and aconite mixture. Perhaps the osteopath can arrange to get this for you, however, since it is only for local application.
Atomidine is distributed by The Atomidine Co., Attn: R. S. Bisey, 1326 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn, N.Y. It sells for $1 a bottle.)

BACKGROUND

11/10/43 Request from daughter: "Last December she fell and from that time on she has been gradually losing the use of her legs and arms. The doctor declared there is some arthritis but more a degeneration of the spinal chord and an operation would not help. Her organs function normally but sometimes she has nervous indigestion. And she is mentally very alert." Q-1. What may be done to ease or correct the condition? Q-2. May anything be done for the pain?
