TEXT

1. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [5450]. This we have had before. In SOME ways we have improvements; in others not much change. There is continued that in the blood stream which forms accumulations in various portions of the system, producing those of the eruptions between the cuticle and the epidermis.
2. We would give this, at the present - see? Prepare in this way and manner: To 1/2 gallon of RAIN water - not distilled, but RAIN water - add:

   Wild Cherry Bark..................1 ounce,
Sarsaparilla Root.................1 ounce,
Burdock Root......................1 ounce,
Yellow Dock Root..................1 ounce,
Dogfennel.......................1/2 ounce,
Cinchona Bark...................1/2 ounce.

3. Reduce this by simmering, not boiling, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add 2 ounces of Grain Alcohol, with 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in same. This as the preservative. Shake solution together before the dosage is taken. The dosage should be half a teaspoonful four times each day. Take it before the meals, but eat the meals regularly - and on time! Do not overtax the system with too much meats, and especially of highly SEASONED foods.
4. We would ALSO use the high enemas to cleanse the colon. At first these should be taken once each week, until at least four have been taken. Then they may be taken once each month.
5. Do this until the whole quantity of medicinal properties have been taken. This will last a month just a month. Do that.
6. (Q) Should glasses be discontinued at once? Or be changed?
   (A) Changed.
7. (Q) Why do eyes hurt?
   (A) Glasses! That's why we said change 'em!
8. (Q) What causes pains on top of head?
   (A) Pressure from conditions in colon.
9. (Q) What is cause of red mark under right eye?
   (A) This from conditions prenatal.
   Do as we have given for the present.
10. We are through with these readings.

REPORTS

1. 3/14/30 Letter: "...I am sure - in that you are so busy down at the hospital - that my medicine (Tim) must have slipped your mind, and since I am in urgent need of it, I wonder if I may again call this to your attention?
   "Instead of these small abscesses disappearing, it seems that I am still being bothered with them; in fact, nothing I do helps, and so I must appeal to you again.
   "I wonder if you would be so kind as to give this your immediate attention and see that some Tim is sent to me immediately?
   "Dr. Theodore Berger suggested that I write you again as he is of the opinion that there must be some at the Hospital by this time.
   "May I expect a favorable reply soon?"
2. 3/19/30 EC's letter: "...Replying to yours of the 14th. We will include a check-up for you in the readings next Monday afternoon, from 3:30 to 5:00. Let us know immediately, just where you will be at that time, and then if it is still necessary for the ointment in question, we will see that you get it right away..."
3. 3/21/30 Letter: "...I have your letter of the 19th. I shall be in Room ..., Building ..., N.Y.C. ... Please answer the following questions in the reading: Shall the violet ray treatments for the eyes as given be continued, and for what length of time; that is, how many treatments more should be taken before glasses are removed? Are the correct osteopathic treatments being taken, and shall they be continued? What causes the small abscesses on body, and how can they be removed and prevented from reappearing? Would it be injurious to go without glasses whenever possible; that is, when eyes aren't being used strenuously..."
4. 3/24/30 EC gave the third reading - 5450-3.
