1. EC: Yes, we have those conditions that surround this body.
2. As we find, there are those factors that disturb the body; that are from infectious forces that attack the nerve plexus of the body - which produce, with the ravaging of the ganglia and plexus, that of paresis or contraction of the nerve and muscular forces. Hence there is prevented a normal activity and development by the WASTING of those centers or bulb gland or plexus forces along the spine; attacking principally the locomotary centers.
3. In the particular or specific condition at present, as we find, there may be added to the system that which would bring a more normal reaction and a preventative to this wasting of the body; reducing the temperature to such an extent as to bring eventually the nearer normal reactions to the body.
4. Should the fever continue, it will be necessary for transfusion from a body that has been cured or relieved of that known as infantile paralysis.
5. But, as we find, if the following applications are made in the present, this would not be necessary - but should the fever continue it will be necessary for such a transfusion, or infusion of blood, from such a body.
6. Begin with Atomidine in three to five drops three times each day.
7. Begin immediately each day, or oftener if the body continues to suffer or the fever rises, to massage into the spine a compound prepared in this manner, with the ingredients added in the order named:
547-1 Page 2
Russian White Oil............2 ounces, Oil of Cedar Wood..........1/2 ounce, Oil of Mustard..............20 minims, Tincture of Benzoin..........1 ounce, Oil of Sassafras.............3 minims.
8. Shake these well together each time before the application is made, and massage the spine with same, using just what the body will absorb; and specifically - or more specifically - in the centers of the upper dorsal and the latter portion of the cervicals, and across the back in the lumbar and sacral area. Do not massage too briskly, so as to produce blisters, but to redden the skin.
9. Each of these ingredients will have its effect upon the supply of blood and reaction, and reduce temperature.
10. Massage from the base of brain downward; not toward the body, but downward all the way, you see, even onto the lower limbs.
11. Do this.
12. After these have found response, we may give further instructions, [547].
13. (Q) How long before it will respond, if following this treatment? (A) In the next twenty-four to thirty-six hours.
14. (Q) How can we get the present doctors to cooperate? (A) That isn't our job. You have asked for that which will aid.
15. (Q) How did this infectious force get into the system, or what caused it? (A) The general condition, and coming under the influence of those things that brought same about. Do these things. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [...] - Special " " Ass'n file Phoned to Mr. [257] and Mr. [...] Wired Day Letter to Mr. [...]
