TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, here. You see, it is more West than North. [GD's note: On 6/30/24 she verified this statement by listing her address for her 8/02/24 appointment as "6 mi. N.W. of ..., Mo."]
2. Now, we find the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with the physical, the mental and the spiritual elements in their operation and manifestations in the physical, though the physical conditions have to do with eliminations in the system, and the effect is produced in the nerve system, which in turn has its effect upon the mental attitude and the spiritual forces in the entity.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [5700], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this deficient in quantity and quality, and the vitamin forces and the vitality of the system well taken up by nerve energy and by the condemnation of self. In the circulation in the system the suppression and the taxation through portions of the system give rise to these conditions, yet these must be met fairly and squarely, as well by the mental attitudes as by physical conditions that may be assisted in the system.
5. THE NERVE FORCES, we find many centers that are taxed, and the perineurial of almost all centers in the sacral, illium and hypogastric plexuses show inflammation. These make pressure on those direct to the brain through the pineal nerve through the cerebro-spinal and both branches of the sympathetic. Hence the body gives up. Does not fight against conditions, but rather gives in to the feelings, as it were. In the pressure on nerve centers, we find these through the genitory system, and through those organs of the false and the true pelvis cavities, so all of the organs of gestation have become involved, as those through the womb, through the ovaries and through the Fallopian Tube all show this inflammation, and the excess of the pressure that this brings on nerve system producing the taxation to nerve system, blood supply and all of the organs in trunk portion of the body.
6. ORGANS OF THE BODY, as to the organs of the system, other than this, these we find taxed under this strain. This, we see, is produced by specific condition in pelvic region, and this may be corrected when proper adjustments are made through local applications, but to reach these would first to prepare the system, that these local packs may be used in the system to bring the healing properties to the body, take in the system this. This will give appetite, strength, relieve pain and give the correct incentive for eliminations in the body.
7. To one gallon of rain water, add:

   Wild Cherry Bark............2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces,
Black Root..................2 ounces,
Yellow Saffron..............1 ounce,
Elder Flower................1 ounce.

   Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm, and add two drams of Balsam of Tolu, and one dram of Balm of Gilead (in the buds) cut in four ounces of grain alcohol.
8. The dose would be two teaspoonfuls four times each day, before meals and before resting or going to sleep in the evening.
9. Give also the diet of properties that carry much protein or iron. Not so much meats, very little. Vegetable diet, that is fresh and that grow above the ground, not of the tuberous nature.
10. Apply the violet ray, and use the electrode in the vagina proper for at least three minutes each evening. Then apply the other vibrations across the sacral and illium plexus. That is, across the small of the back, and up to the upper dorsal.
11. After this has been taken for at least twenty days, then begin the local treatment or local packs for those conditions and those lacerations that show in the organs of the pelvis.
12. Do that at present.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/18/23 Letter to Mr. [953]: "In accordance with arrangements made while you were in Dayton, I am sending you, herewith, a number of our requests for diagnoses." [These forms were filled in with dates for appointments which Mr. [953] had specified.]
2. 1/23/24 Request form returned by Mrs. [5700], giving her name and address where she would be on the 2/01/24 11 A.M. appointment: "Will be at my father'a home, about 6 mi. North of ..., Mo." [This was the first and only communication we had from her before the reading. GD]

REPORTS

1. 2/06/24 Letter: "I received the reading you made for me, February 1st. My idea on this is that you explained the cause of my suffering better than any physician I have ever taken treatments from.
   "I am writing you in regard to the violet-ray. Where can we get one, and how much will it cost? Can we get a small one? Would it do just as well? Does the electro go with the machine or do you buy it extra? Should I use it at the mouth of the vagina or inside? And how strong should the current be? We have failed so far to get most of the medicine you spoke of here, but we're trying a different place yet. Would it be at all o.k. to dig some of the medicine and get the wild cherry bark here or should we get it at a drugstore. Would be glad to here from you soon."
2. 5/12/24 EC gave her second reading, 5700-2.
3. 6/23/24 Letter: "...I am writing you in regards to let you know how I am getting along. I have been taking the medicine three weeks and have never missed a dose and have also used about right each evening as given in the reading and I can't tell if it has helped me in any way yet, but my bowels are also in an awful shape which I never mentioned before. I have to take something for them each evening. I still have enough medicine to last another week longer, so I thought I would write you in time that you might give me further information by the time I finish taking rest of medicine. Please give me the names of the foods which I should eat. Was afraid I surely didn't understand the reading right in some way or I would be better by this time. Very anxious for a reply..."
