(Q) What can be done now to remedy or eliminate pain in left
leg? and how can pressures be overcome to eradicate it?
(A) Keep on treating it! In the applications, as has been
outlined, pressures having existed in the locomotory areas,
and the tightness being of such a nature as to cause the
muscular forces along the left limb to contract, has made for
a slight difference in the length even of the tread, or of
the limb. This being straightened, or exercised, tends to
make for a more over-activity than normal, and brings rather
that of pain at times. The rest of the applications, as for
eliminations and for the correction of the conditions
existent in the lower portion of alimentary canal, or colon
itself, is as necessary of correction, that the PAIN be
alleviated in the limb, as to make corrections in the
locomotories from which the limb receives its incentive for
distress signals; for one having produced same, or the
condition in the locomotory, in the alimentary canal, having
produced the condition in limb, becomes a result - not a
cause. Hence at times, with the local treatments to bring
about a normalcy, this makes for pain, or more excruciating
pain in the limb itself. Then, we would keep all of the
treatments for the period, and have the rest period, that
there may be the adjustments of the nervous system, of the
muscular forces, of the nutriments or the mucus membranes in
intestines, in the whole general system may adjust
themselves. Hence these may become then a normal reaction,
or normal activity.
(Q) Would more frequent irrigations help, and is it
advisable?
(A) The proper precautions and the proper numbers were
given. We would not change from that. They have not been
given sufficient to eliminate those conditions in the colon;
transverse, ascending or descending. These should not be
given so high, but these should be given in the manner that
the whole of the colon will be cleansed.
(Q) Should irrigations contain medicants? If so, what kind?
(A) As given, these should always contain an antiseptic, or
an antiseptic lubricant. Such as in a portion, or the first
injection should contain - to each gallon of water, at least
ten to twenty grains of saline, or salt, with twenty to
thirty grains of soda, and then the latter portion may - the
second waters - contain Glyco-Thymoline or Fluoris (?)
[Lavoris?], or of that nature. Glyco-Thymoline would be an
excellent antiseptic in the second. In the last injection,
or the cleansing, were those of the petrolagar that are of
the non-acid or of the alkalin stirred in the water, or in
the injections as given, they will be found to be most
beneficial.
(Q) How often should sitz baths be taken, and of what
duration each treatment?
(A) Sitz baths are merely as a relaxation for the lumbar, or
the lower locomotory area, and should be taken whenever
adjustments are to be attempted. When the manipulations, or
just the massage of the lumbars are to be made, or of the
lower limbs, not necessary for the sitz baths - but this
relaxes the system so that the adjustments and the muscular
movements, where there are alignments that are out of line,
will be the easier and more active or applicable to the needs
of the body.
(Q) Would you advise me to continue taking Lacto-Dextrin for
intestinal flora changes?
(A) Lacto-Dextrin is an excellent colon or intestinal
antiseptic, and produces an activity in the muco-membranes or
in the emunctory and lymph circulation through same. We
would keep same, though we will find that so much of same
will not be necessary if the proper precautions and the
proper precautions and the proper intestinal antiseptics are
given with the irrigations, or the proper precautions or care
taken with the diet - as causes for the peristaltic movement.
There ARE conditions where Lacto-Dextrin is an active force
and a stimuli to the movement of the muscular forces in the
intestinal system. Then there are conditions, such as exist
with this body, where there are the activities deadened by
the muscular impingement so as to prevent the proper activity
in the circulatory system, that Lacto-Dextrin at times will
produce a cramping by the forcing of one fold of the
intestinal system upon another. Hence the precaution as is
given, using the proper precautions in the movements as are
made from internal activity, and the proper muscular forces
or manipulation and massage given, that the nerve energy -
which carries the stimuli of the circulation through the
portions of the body from the nerve centers and plexus from
each portion of the system - receives its impulse and
activity, ARE necessary. Also that, with the laxatives
taken, or forces as are given with those of the active
forces, either in the digestive system or in the use of the
irrigations, will aid more than taking too much internal
activity.
(Q) Would the Sun-Lamp Quartz or Carbon help eliminations
and general condition? If so, state manner of treatment.
(A) These may be given occasionally, but should not be a
continued portion of the treatment. They assist and
stimulate, especially when there are movements made in the
muscular forces, where the activities come from impulses in
centers along the cerebro-spinal system. At such movements,
or when adjustments are made - though, as given, the
adjustments should not be made at each treatment given, but
when adjustments are made - and two to three minutes of the
mercury quartz lamp, not carbon - but mercury quartz lamp -
would be beneficial. To this body, this should be with the
mercury quartz lamp at least thirty-six to thirty-eight
inches from the body when applied, and applied over the area
where the adjustments ARE made.
(Q) Are exercises which Reilly gave, and which are being
done, too strenuous for me?
(A) Not too strenuous, if the body doesn't get the idea that
it is. If he does, why then it will be too strenuous. Just
so there is not a stretching of the muscular forces and
fibres in extremities father than the relaxing of the centers
from which those portions of the limbs or body receive their
impulse have been relaxed for their activity. Get that - and
what it means!
(Q) Shall we now rest for two to three weeks as outlined in
previous reading?
(A) After the next two to three treatments, we would.
(Q) How often should head treatment be administered?
(A) Two or three times each week.
(Q) Is diet correct, or can you suggest any change to help
eliminations?
(A) If you will follow that as has been outlined, it WILL be
correct!
(Q) Do you find any improvement in intestinal tract; that
is, discharge in rectum?
(A) The improvement is evidenced throughout the entire
system. There should be more of the cleansing, that there
may be less muco-producing in the intestines themselves.
That is all the questions on this body.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS
11/19/31 Letter: "...I was indeed very sorry to learn of
your unpleasant experience in New York, during which time I
tried to see you at the Hotel Victoria and made several
unsuccessful efforts to talk to you by telephone.
"However, I was pleased to learn through a recent
conversation with Dave Kahn that the matter has been
satisfactorily settled, and I sincerely hope this will be the
end of your troubles.
"It is now six weeks since I have stopped my treatments, and
as you know, you arranged that I was to receive a check
reading on November 9. I am patiently awaiting your word
regarding an appointment, as I intend to resume treatments on
Monday, November 23, and am very anxious to receive your
report as near to this date as possible.
"Will you therefore kindly advise me by return wire when you
will arrange to give me this check reading, as any further
delay would only mean the breaking down of what benefit I had
received from my previous treatments. For this reason, I
hope you will give this matter your careful consideration..."
11/23/31 Letter: "...Would you be kind enough to add the
following questions to my copy of check reading: Is the diet
satisfactory or would you make suggestions for improvement?
Will present treatment for ringworm between the toes correct
this condition or can the Forces give me a positive remedy or
cure?..."
