Fifth Ave., Time of Reading New York City 3:50 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. (Now either at Radio City or Medical Center, N.Y.C.) (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have rather the impressions from the home surroundings, as we have transient conditions as respecting the locating of the body-individual. [GD's memo: I phoned Mrs. [509] immediately after the rdg. and she told me that Mrs. [511] was definitely in transit at the time.] As we find in this environ, ... Fifth Avenue, of [511]:
2. There are those conditions existent wherein there is tissue in lung, in breast, involved; from conditions where they in their very activity are CREATIVE from that they produce in the system, or are of the malignant nature - thus not only sapping the life force but filling the blood supply through the character of the condition or the nature of the bacilli so involved throughout the system. [GD's memo: She also told me that Mrs. [511] did have cancer of the breast and lungs. No intimation was given previously as to diagnosis of her condition. Mrs. [509] simply made the appointment for Mrs. [511] and subsequently sent wire. See 511-1, Par. B1.]
3. Thus excruciating pains are produced at times, and there is a gradual sapping of the very life force in the physical body.
4. To give only hypnotics or narcotics is to gradually allow the body to lose its resistance or ability for resuscitation.
5. To operate under the existent condition would prevent proper coagulation in tissue; for, as indicated, not only does it involve the tissue in which the condition has centered, but along veins and arteries and their walls as well.

6. As we find, if these properties were combined, this would relieve the excruciating pain. Though at first it may produce or cause some nausea, this may be subsided (the nausea) with equal portions - or a tablespoonful limewater and cinnamon water combined, and small sips taken. We would include in same a few minims of 10% solution Iodide of Potassium, 3 to 10 minims of a 10% solution in this quantity. When this has settled the stomach somewhat, then give another dose. We would combine this, then:
7. To 2 ounces of compound simple syrup, add: Oil of Eucalyptol...............40 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp............5 minims, Tincture of Benzoin.............20 minims, Codeine......................1 1/2 grains. (This compound, or Codeine compound, well powdered before added, so it may dissolve when shaken together.)
8. The dose would be a teaspoonful three or more times each day, or in the beginning when necessary to keep the body from severe pain. This is to act in the place of injections of narcotics. This is not a curative, yet it is an active force and easily assimilated by the respiratory system in such a manner as to create for constructive influences IN the blood supply. And will also aid the body in being better able to breathe and clarify the blood supply. THIS taken internally.
9. Each day we would take one-quarter grain Animated Ash; half of it (or one-eighth grain) taken about nine or ten o'clock in the morning and the other half (of the quarter grain) taken about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
10. Five minutes after the Ash has been taken, apply the ultra-violet light for one and a half to two minutes, at least thirty-eight to forty inches from the body, over the lower cervical and upper dorsal area. Preferably use the quartz light, or mercury quartz light. This is the heavier of such machines. Should this redden the body too much, then we would use the green light or glass BETWEEN the body and the ultra-violet, which will prevent so much irritation to the superficial circulation and such strong light - taken twice each day for this period. Or the light may be moved some more distance away from the body.
11. The light taken after the Ash will cause the action of the ash of the carbon to clarify through the releasing of oxygen in the blood stream, by being centralized in the portions of the lungs thus affected, and in the tissue adjacent to same.
12. At least every day, preferably in the evening after the

last dose of Animated Ash, we would use a compound prepared in this manner:
13. To 1 ounce of the compound commonly called or known as Iodex, add 2 grains of the Animated Ash. This we would mix thoroughly together and use as a rub over the portion of the breast from the joining of the collar bone to the end of the breast bone. And this would be massaged into this portion of the body.
14. Do this, and keep the diet and the eliminations so that these are as near normal as possible.
15. And these, as we find, should bring not only helpful but resuscitating forces to this body.
16. Ready for questions.
17. All of these, as we find, may be applied by nurse in charge, and not necessary that there be any hindrances - but insisted that these be done.
18. And do not use the hypnotics or narcotics nor operative forces unless further suggestions are given for same.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [509] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
