TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [5449]. Now, we find, while there are distresses physical with this body, these are rather of the sympathetic nature. While the body [is] not wholly that as may be termed a neurotic, yet the conditions as are apparent are rather from worry and distress of the nature as comes from same. While there are specific physical conditions, these are produced mostly from the effects of such reactions in the physical body, causing - as it does - the return of drosses in system, so that varied effects in clogging of the system become the result. The effect of the action in nerve ends in extremities, hands, knees, fingers, and the like, are the result of the poor elimination. The elimination [is the] result of disturbed circulation. Circulation [is] the result of distresses produced by the system functioning under strain of the nerve energies overtaxed.
2. In meeting the needs of such conditions, we would find that physical reaction will be apparent from those things that will give the body the better rest in the normal physical manner, and that will also act with the digestive system, the assimilating system, and the eliminating system, as those function together for the replenishing and resuscitating of the physical conditions. These will be aided by taking all into consideration, for if the body becomes able to rest, or sleep in the nominal manner, this in itself will aid the body to meet the emergencies as they arise. It will also add to the resistive forces in the system, aiding the eliminations and the reactions then in this manner.
3. First we would give that, each evening - for at least five to ten days - we would relax the body thoroughly with the electrical driven vibrator. This used as the body is ready to retire, along the whole of the cerebro-spinal system, and especially DEEP across the lower plexuses and to the ends of the nerves as course along the INSIDE or back portion of the lower limbs, along the sciatic nerve, and to its base. The same along the brachial nerves, and at the base of brain - using same for at least fifteen to twenty to twenty-five minutes for the treatment.
4. We would also take, after such a treatment, these properties:
5. Prepare them separate, but put together before they are taken into the system - allowed to stand together for a few minutes - one to two minutes - before taken.
6. Take 10 grains of Chloride of Gold, into 10 ounces of distilled water. Keep this in a separate container.
7. Then prepare 10 grains Bromide of Soda in 2 ounces of distilled water.
8. When the dose is to be taken, take 2 to 3 drops the first day of the Gold - and 3 to 5 drops of the Bromide, and put together in half glass of water.
9. The next day INCREASE 1 drop of the Gold and increase 2 to 3 drops of the Soda, until at least 5 drops are being taken of the Gold - and the proportion of the Bromide.
10. Then discontinue for 3 to 5 days. Then begin again. Keeping this up for at least 30 to 40 days.
11. As for the diet - do not burden the system with too much MEATS. These may be taken in moderation, but preferably the juices, or stews, or such. No fried foods of any character, but rather those in keeping with that as is held sacred by the body itself. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What is normal weight for body in present physical condition?
    (A) The weight doesn't matter so much, as does the body's abilities to function normal. For this body it should be 150.
13. (Q) Should the body attempt to diet to reduce weight?
    (A) Should not.
14. (Q) What causes continual internal pains?
    (A) Pressure produced by poor eliminations.
15. (Q) Have the baths such as the body has been taking been beneficial?
    (A) These are very beneficial.
16. (Q) What kind of water should body drink to clean internally to relieve conditions now existent in body?
    (A) These as has been given.
17. (Q) Any other information that the body should have at the present time to bring about normal condition?
    (A) Do that, as we have given. We are through for the present.
