EC: Yes, we have the body, Dr. [
5618]. This we have had
before. Now, we find there are accentuations of many of
the disturbances as have been given as concerning physical
conditions of the body. Those wherein the pressure as
produces those paroxysms of the short breath, coming from
that distress as has been apparent in the upper dorsal
regions, or that receive impulses to the cardiac portion of
the system. Hence the cardiac plexuses are most involved.
This reaction causes the fullness of the heart's action,
as has been given, producing the tendency towards plethora,
and the NECESSITY of the body being erect - which, acting
WITH those pressures, as produce from such conditions that
fullness in the lower extremities, HINDERING the circulation,
and the swelling as indicated in feet and limbs comes from
this, as WELL - as is seen - those conditions as HAVE been
apparent in the stomach proper. The mental depressions as
come from same, keeps the body from the proper reactions.
For the betterment, we would change the surroundings, the
environs - for the pressure is such that this will CONTINUE
to produce depressions until this relief can be accomplished,
through the changing of the pressures in this region - which
would require, as we find, complete rest - cool - not too
high, not too low - an altitude, and with those properties as
have been given in those of the iron, the camphor, and those
of the rhubarb. THESE will prevent the heart's pressure, as
will be necessary for small quantities of Digital, or those
that will keep the system cleansed and aid in keeping the
nerves in accord one with another. The manipulations should
be to RELIEVE the pressure, and NOT cause the strain to
remain in this direction. Ready for questions.
(Q) Where would the body go to have the manipulations given
properly?
(A) Either in such a place as Dayton, or Nashville, or in
Atlanta, or in Macon.
(Q) What should be given at the time of the paroxysms of
hard breathing?
(A) Any condition or element that carries sufficient of the
ammonia, or of those properties that will relieve pressure
in the bronchia and lungs; for it is the over fullness of the
blood to same which FLOODS, rather than leaving lungs, see?
(Q) What specific diet should the body have at this time?
(A) Those of alkalin reactions, and especially blood and
nerve building.
(Q) Should any stimulant of any kind be taken?
(A) This has been given, what should be the stimulant
- Digital. Ammonia is a stimulant, also the Digital, or
Spirits Frumenti - very weak, and not too much, but just
enough to stimulate the circulation to other portion, rather
than to these; would be better if they were of the BRANDIES,
rather than of those of other character of the Frumenti.
We are through with this reading.

9/18/29 Wife's letter: "Breathing better since Dr. Lydic's
treatment yesterday...terribly stirred up, no appetite."
9/20/29 Wife's letter: "Dr. Lydic talked so discouraging
- says his heart is as bad as it can be, with the least
exertion is likely to go out like a candle...such sick
stomach."
9/23/29 Wife's letter: "He is so exhausted after such hard
breathing. Dr. Lydic says he has lost ground daily since
he got here. He advised [
5618] this morning to go to the
Osteopathic Hospital, but he doesn't want to go - said
he would be guided by your check reading. So despondent,
looks so bad, so thin...last night it seemed minutes
between breaths."
