TEXT

1. 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.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body [5407].
3. As we find, there have been disturbances for long durations in this body. First, there was in some times back a wrenching or straining in the limbs, knee and hip, and this then, with general debilitation which came on from a cold or congestion, has brought a neuritic condition, as combined with a tendency towards a reaction in the assimilating system as to cause a general weakness through the body. Especially does it affect, then, the lower limbs.
4. As we would find there should be given the hydrotherapy which would include short-wave treatments to the hips and the lower limbs. This should include the Fume Sweats to aid in stimulating eliminations, also the ultra-violet lights, or heats, which will aid in disseminating the accumulations in soft tissue around the hips, the knees, and the Diathermy, or short-wave to break up these disturbances so that, with the general elimination set up, we will eliminate the poisons in segments or sediment which disturbs the segments of the lower portion of the spine.
5. Do build up the body with the vitamins, especially the B complex with E as an addition in supplying energies in body-forces. We would have these from Reilly's. These will bring much better conditions. Have a series of from ten to twelve treatments, about twice each week. Rest a period of two to three weeks, and then have six to eight more. The body-building forces need to be supplied through foods, as well as supplementing same with B-1 Complex in capsules, see?
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What causes and what should be done for the pain, off and on, in my lower right side?
   (A) As has been indicated. These are the effects of the disturbances in the limbs, hips, and lower portion of the spine.
8. (Q) Knee weakness?
   (A) All of these come from the pressures there, you see?
9. (Q) Double vision?
   (A) The massages will aid, as particularly all vitamins added to the body, of the E will aid in giving strength. Head and neck exercises, as well as massages, will aid in strengthening coordination in the sensory system. Do these if we would bring bettered conditions for this body.
10. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/08/44 "Thirty years ago when a student in a western college, I without any cause would stumble and fall. When I returned home to the East the falls became more frequent. Examinations by leading N.Y.C. doctors - in hospitals and out - listed 'obscure glandular disturbance' but although through the years I've had periods of seemingly robust health, always under any strain my knees would crumble under me. I do not faint - simply remain fully conscious, but am very weak and have difficulty in rising. After a difficult day at college - teaching - I am utterly exhausted and go to bed at six o'clock. So I am a slave to this knee-weakness, and medication is useless. Life is not easy. I feel sure you will fathom the cause and help me understand both the nature and cure of the restraining disability."
