In the pharmacy at the Time of Reading Western State Hospital, 11:15 A. M., Eastern Standard Time. near Hopkinsville, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [51]. Now, we find the body-physical very good in many respects. There are conditions which, if corrected, will save the body from distresses later on, and the body-physical may function the nearer normal.
2. These conditions, as we find, have to do with the assimilating system and the eliminating system, as related to the character of the plasm as goes to make up the replenishing or the resuscitating of the cell forces in the system. This at times called the metabolism of the system, or the katabolism and metabolism. These differentiations have produced for the system, and do produce that wherein there is too much calcium in the system, too much potash, and not sufficient amount of iodine as related to the ironizing [ionizing?] and oxidization as takes place in the system. This is also illustrated in the conditions as have existed, and do exist, in the injured portion of the extremities, as seen in the body. Here we find, while the bone, or the osseous in the blood itself is of such a nature as to produce more of an ossification than is NORMAL in body. Hence the conditions where, with tissue that builds for cartilaginous forces, becomes centralized, and stiffness ensues, or the bone becomes in those portions where many work with, the flexors of the muscular forces of forearm become STIFFENED in their activity.
3. In the meeting of the conditions, as is known by the body, when these conditions are presented as those of verifications, as may be done by the blood tests in same, by the various serums as may be magnified and counted in the rectifying of the conditions; the food values as taken, and also those additions of the salts, or those properties as may be taken in the system as to create a proper balance in this direction.
4. First, as will be seen, it will be NECESSARY, then, to
51-1 Page 2
CLEANSE the system, or to produce an incentive or IMPULSE as to remove this excess of potassium and of the calcium. Then BUILD for those serums as may rectify the condition, and later prevent those of the effects as come from neuritis, rheumatic conditions, arthritis, and such inflammatory centers or conditions as affect the centers as related to the connection of nerve ganglia, or cushions, or of cartilaginous centers to the bone structure and flexors themselves. Such we may find in the use of that as is made in those of Merck's [Merck & Co.'s]* iron and of those in arsenated iron. In THIS particular case, these, we would find, would be taken BEST in the salts state. After we have cleansed the system, then we may ADD those conditions necessary in those of the iodine and of silicon, in the form NOT only of foods, but those as prepared in that of Romano's iodine. In taking same, these as we will find in the pellet form, with the salts as come from those of fruits, rather than those of minerals, will assimilate in the system.
* [6/16/76 GD's note: Pharmacist at Ingram's Pharmacy informs me that about 5 yrs. ago Merck & Co. merged with a big industrial firm, J. T. Baker, and is no longer known as Merck & Co.]
5. As to the specific conditions as are already existent in forearm, or wrist - right side - these, we will find that with the building up of the system in the manner as has been outlined, for at least three to five weeks, we may then begin with the massaging of same each evening before retiring with that of a saturated solution of plain salt, PREFERABLY that that has not been clarified, or in as near raw state as may be had, or with sea salt evaporated, or evaporated salt from sea water. These would be the preferable, making same with a saturated solution of pure apple vinegar. Heat, not to be HOT, but as to be warm even for the body, and for ten to fifteen minutes each evening massage this thoroughly into the wrist and hand. This FOLLOWED, in the next cycle or afternoon, with an application of the plain VIOLET ray, and every third day we would take that of the sinusoidal in its high frequency, from the flexors of the brachial plexus and that in the elbow in the internal side. This given for at least one and a half minutes, and we will find this will be a much BETTER manner of RELIEVING the conditions than by operative measures; for with the massage, not ONLY is each bone, or each segment put in its proper position one with another, but their RELATIONS, of the cushions, or of the cartilage lying between each, are magnified or retarded; that is,

built up or removed from, in such a manner as to bring the better activity for the body.
6. Then, first prepare body, with those properties as given; keeping a high elimination, keeping the diet in such a position as to make for least of calciums and least of potashes in the system. Then begin with these corrections as outlined. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) In what manner, or what should be the dosage of the arsenated iron? (A) This may best be determined by the body itself, for it's a physician! We are through for the present.
