1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [394].
2. Now, as we find, those conditions that disturb the better physical forces of the body are rather of the complex nature. For, there are both causes and effects that must be considered in giving or bringing any relief for the body.
3. Many of the disturbing conditions have been of long standing; hence have become of such a nature that the system has adjusted itself to the disorders.
4. Hence, in bringing relief or resuscitating forces to the system, all of these conditions must be taken into consideration. For, many have reached the proportions where not only the physical body but the mental body is also affected.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [394] we are speaking of:
6. We find the BLOOD SUPPLY very low in vitality, and while the circulations become disturbed - the ability in the circulation to carry on through a strong heart action has oft saved the body from disintegration.
7. There needs to be assimilated in this portion, then, that which - with the strong heart's activity - will build resuscitating plasm through the circulatory system.
8. The NERVE SYSTEM, as we find, has reached such a condition that at times it has become almost exhausted. Hence there are periods when there is not in any way near the normal reaction from the administrated forces or powers; or that reaction which might be expected to be the result from the administration of active principles within the system.
9. Hence little medicine, as medicine, is effective; only palliatives, sedatives or hypnotics, and THESE at times lose their effectiveness in the system.

10. What, then, are the causes in the physical functionings? Are the organs so involved in their functioning, or have such inroads been made, as to cause organic conditions? or are the conditions of a general or a constitutional nature, with all of the organs working at variance one to another?
11. All of these, and more; for, as seen, there has long been a disturbance in the sensory organism wherein the auditory forces have been affected. And in periods back there was such a plethora condition in the organs of the pelvis, in the activities of the assimilating system, as to necessitate the removal of portions of the organs themselves. Thus we have had an inroad into the effectual activity of the nerve forces in the action OF organs, and in the creation of resuscitating forces in the system, until - working under the strain and stress of adhesions and lesions - little of a normal activity in digestion; surfeiting of the system, in relation to assimilations through the body, has been poor.
12. Hence a general debilitation has set in throughout the system, so that all of the organs are effected; not in the manner as of organic disturbances, other than in their abilities to create the proper functionings of their respective cycle of activity in the body. Hence the conditions in the present.
13. Then, in meeting the conditions, as we find, the addition of certain forces that will work with the activities of the body may bring a much nearer normal force for the ability of the system to respond and become nearer in the way of distributing the necessary resuscitating forces throughout the system.
14. One necessary factor, then, as we would find, would be in creating more oxygen, as released in the system, as to revivify the activity of the circulations (blood supply) in their relationships to the organs that function not only for the creating of necessary plasm for giving physical reaction in the body (in life forces) but that will aid in STRENGTHENING the resistances in the system.
15. This, as we find, may be materially aided by the addition of small quantities of carbonated or carbon ash in the system; given one-eighth grain each day, and - to produce or make a better activity of the same - thirty minutes after the dose is given we would apply the plain violet ray vibrations over the portions of the body where assimilations would be created, for the activity of the ash to the blood supply. Hence, it would be applied over the upper dorsal and the cervical area, or the cardiac and secondary cardiac area. Then it would be applied from the
394-1 Page 3
9th and 10th dorsal area to the 3rd and 4th lumbar area.
16. We would also find that it would be MOST beneficial, in supplying the necessary vitality, to add the active forces of low electrical vibrations that will carry into the system elements to create a better coordination in the nerve impulses to the system, that add to the sustaining forces in the activity of the GLANDS themselves. These we would give in the wet cell battery formation, and using those anodes that carry medicinal properties - THROUGH the low vibration - into the system; in three characters, that would be given in rotation day by day.
17. One would carry the Chloride of Gold solution. In attaching the battery to the body for this particular activity, we would attach FIRST the anode WITHOUT the medicinal properties to the body at the 3rd and 4th dorsal segment or plexus of the system - and the larger plate carrying the Gold solution (1 grain to 1 ounce of water, or 15 grains to 15 ounces of distilled water, using about 4 ounces in the solution) would be attached to the plexus over the umbilicii center, but more over the lacteal ducts or glands. The period of application would be for thirty minutes.
18. The next day use a different connection but the same battery. The same plain or positive connections would be attached at the base of the brain, and the other - carrying Spirits of Camphor - would be attached to the 4th lumbar plexus area, see? This would be applied for a period of thirty minutes also.
19. The next day use a different solution (not in same containers, to be sure, but using the same battery - or activity of the vibrations). The first anode would be attached to the center entering into the stomach itself, or the cardiac center of the stomach, or cardiac end of stomach, see? and the other plate or anode, carrying Atomidine in solution, would be attached at the 9th dorsal plexus - or that which distributes through the whole of the solar plexus area. Apply this for thirty minutes.
20. Then begin over again.
21. We would use a massage every other day, with a compound combined in this manner - or put together in the order given:
22. To 2 ounces of cocoa butter (put into solution, while still warm), add: Russian White Oil................2 ounces, Sassafras Oil..................1/4 ounce, Witchhazel.......................1 ounce.
394-1 Page 4
This will only PARTIALLY solidify, and should be stirred thoroughly each time before it is massaged into the spine. Especially massage it along those portions where the tired, achey feelings have come to the body from the bed - or over the portions in the lumbar and solar plexus area, and in the brachial area - and ESPECIALLY from the 4th and 5th cervical to the base of the brain.
23. In the matter of the diet, keep much in the way and manner that has been outlined.
24. When necessary, continue with the medicinal properties that rest, or keep quiet the body to make rest. See?
25. See that the eliminations are kept as near normal as possible.
26. And in thirty days from the beginning of these treatments we would give further instructions.
27. These may be all applied at home.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) Which person in the family would be the best to see that these instructions are carried out? (A) Anyone that may insure that these ARE given the opportunity to show their effectiveness in the existent condition. The brother, the husband, or the son, or the daughter.
30. (Q) What part of present treatment should be continued or left off? (A) As just given, continue when necessary the ministration of properties that make for quietness to the body; of course, reducing as MUCH as possible - as improvements begin - the bromides that affect the MENTAL activities. For, the properties that we have given here, as indicated, are to make use of the physical resistances that still exist in the circulation - and to make response from all functioning organs and assimilation and distribution of that assimilated for recuperative forces in the body. These in low electrical form will aid, see? The addition of the ash is to relieve the pressure on the general system and revivify the blood supply; and the activity of the violet ray, given for fifteen to twenty minutes over those portions indicated, thirty minutes after the ash is taken, is only to make the effective activity of the ash or carbon in the system. The properties given through the battery formations are resuscitating forces to the organs and the glands of same,
394-1 Page 5
in the respective portions of the body, as they are applied through the low electrical force, to sustain and revivify the body. While, the massage of certain portions of the body, as given, is only to relax and make better coordination in the cerebro- spinal, sympathetic and sensory system. The MIND will be much better! Let the body ITSELF KNOW the source from which these treatments are instructive, and what is to be accomplished by each!
31. We are through for the present. Two copies to Son Copy to file
