TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5621]. In the general physical forces of the body, we find there are disturbing factors that, taken in time, may be corrected comparatively easily. Allowed to remain until system adjusts itself, or ATTEMPTS to adjust itself, may become very hard to combat - for these conditions have to do with the nervous system, and of the CHARACTER of eliminations at periods in the system. Hence pressure exists that causes congestion, and prevents the organs of the system adjusting themselves to the general conditions as SHOULD be NORMAL for the body. This produces, then, as we find, that tendency of the distress periods becoming over exaggerated to such an extent that the pains and the reactions become excruciating at times, causing nausea, headaches, cramps, and the DIGESTIVE system becomes involved through those conditions as would NOMINALLY, UNDER the stress, relieve or bring for the physical forces that of the bettered condition. This position, these pressures as exist, must either bring about that of the lesions that would necessitate, eventually, that of an OPERATIVE measure FOR correction, or - taken in time - these, as we find, may be adjusted through manipulation, and through those treatments as would bring for the system the proper adjustment of the conditions in system, to bring a NORMAL force and normal activity to the body.
2. The pressures, as we find, exist in the coccyx, and also in the lower LUMBAR region, with the natural reflexes as come from same to the upper portion of the body. With the taxation, those conditions in the secondary cardiac plexus brings for the system that of a disturbance in the thyroid, as well as in throat and bronchia. At PRESENT they are merely a reflex condition. Will the system adjust itself TO the conditions, these must either produce that of thickening of the walls - unless the CAUSE, or that nerve PRESSURE in the lower portion of system IS relieved.
3. With the beginning of the manipulations as would make for the adjustments in system, we would prepare THIS compound - which, we will find, will assist in bringing for the organs of the system, especially in the pelvis and in the whole of the blood supply as related to the assimilations, and those of the body as related to the functioning of the glands as SUPPLY that portion of the nutriment in system as is eliminated in periods; using that of plain simple syrup, or compound simple syrup, 2 ounces, we would add to this:

   Essence of Indian Turnip.........3 minims,
Essence of Wild Ginseng.........10 minims,
Essence of Ambrosia Weed (preferably
prepared from green)..........5 minims,
Essence of SILKWEED..............3 minims.
[Silk-Weed - Milk-Weed?]

4. The dose of this would be half a teaspoonful once each day, beginning with the fourth or fifth day AFTER the treatments are begun. This, as we find, would extend over the period, and bring for the system bettered, more regulated, and the nearer normal conditions. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Is the pain in the chest caused by a gastric ulcer?
   (A) Caused rather from properties taken to relieve distresses in the physical forces as are abnormal. These, as we find, with the rest, with the creating of the system for those of an alkalin reaction, will remove all the strains through this portion of the system. NOT a gastric ulcer. There have BEEN lacerations.
6. (Q) Is the sinus trouble caused from the general condition?
   (A) This the natural result of conditions, as has been given, as related to those pressures that are brought to bear on the upper portion of the system, which LEAVES that of the mucus - or those of the mucus PRODUCING forms in the sinus, and in all of soft tissue. These are natural results from the choked eliminations as occur from the periods, and from the ulcerations as come in the system THROUGH such times - or ACCUMULATIONS; not ulcers, in the greater sense. Rather those of accumulations of mucus that SHOULD be relieved. THIS produces the LACERATIONS, see?
7. (Q) Should the body take aspirin or whiskey to relieve the menstrual pains?
   (A) If the body will use this as we have given, this will relieve the pain; and if the corrections are made, we will find these will be RELIEVED entirely.
8. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given?
   (A) During the first period - that is, for the twenty-eight days - there should be at least fourteen treatments. Later they may be made ONCE a week, or oftener NEARER the periods.
9. That is all the questions regarding this body.
10. We are through with this reading for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 6/21/30 Mother [5622]'s letter: "My daughter [5621] is such a sufferer each month [for 3 years] at her menstrual period that I fear for her. I have done everything known to science for her with little benefit."

REPORTS

1. 7/07/30 She had her second reading, 5621-2.
2. 8/18/30 GD's note: Today I heard EC give Mr. [257] this prescription over the phone, to bring on menstruation for someone in his family I think. It has nothing to do with Case [5621], except the reference to Silk-Weed which I wish to get listed here for index purposes:
   Put a heaping tablespoonful of Silk-Weed in about 3 ounces of water. Reduce to 1 ounce. Add to 1/2 pint whiskey. Take a teaspoonful three to four times a day. Also take a big dose of Calomel.
3. 8/19/30 Mr. [257] wired he was unable to locate Silk-Weed. EC wired back: "Essence Silk-Weed Eimer & Amend, 18th St. & Third Ave., N.Y.C."
4. 8/27/30 See Mr. [257]'s report on it under background for his wife's Check Physical Reading 903-14.
