Time of Reading 11:45 to 11:55 A. M. ..., Fla. [As of yesterday, 11 to 12 A.M., had to switch to today due to emergency reading reg. accident for Mrs. [1129].] (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [550]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, while there are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here, some of the conditions have become in a manner acute; from the general building up of poisons due to the lack of proper eliminations through the proper channels of elimination.
3. And these poor eliminations tend to make for an acidity in the body that is of a disturbing nature. Not the character of acidity so much that comes from the character of FOOD as always taken, but the very nature of poor eliminations and inflammation in the circulation from the lack of the proper circulatory forces being assimilated or carried makes for specific conditions that become disturbing in extremities; as in the lower limbs, in the feet; as in the throat, nasal passages, and those tendencies for the mucous membranes of same to become inflamed.
4. These are the effects of poor distribution and assimilation throughout the body.
5. In meeting these conditions as we find in the present:
6. First we would begin with the neuropathic applications for the body, making the treatments to follow the nerve impulses from solar plexus center - or 9th dorsal downward to the extremities; then from the solar plexus upward - as TOWARDS the arms or OUT the arms from the brachial plexus or center. These we would take every day for periods of two weeks, and then rest from same a period; for in this manner they will be much more activative.
7. We would also use an inhalant to act as a tendency for preventing the activity of bacilli that produces reactions that become disturbing; or to act rather as a cleansing than as a curative agent for the nasal passages. Such an

inhalant would be prepared in this way and manner:
8. To 4 ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol, or at least 85% to 90% alcohol - pure grain, in a 6 ounce container (preferably with a glass cork or stopper), add - in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus.............10 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin....20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp..........5 minims, Canadian Balsam................5 minims (because this turns the solution white at times, do not become disturbed; for it will be assimilated, when the solution is shaken well), Tolu in Solution..............30 minims. Shake the solution well when the fumes are to be inhaled, especially night and morning - or when there is the tendency for the sneezing or for irritation in the throat and in the head.
9. We find it would be well also to use the Radio-Active Appliance, for it would be helpful to the circulatory forces in making for the body's being able to rest and to overcome this tired condition that is so prevalent at times when there are these disturbances from poor eliminations. Keep the anodes of the Appliance clean, or polish well before being attached. And let the Appliance be in the ice solution for fifteen to twenty minutes before applying to the body; opposite extremities of the body. Keep same attached to the body from thirty to forty minutes each evening as the body is ready for retiring, or it may be kept on for an hour or an hour and a half - this is not too long. But do not make the applications as ROTE. Rather KNOW within self that the purposes for helpfulness are being accomplished.
10. Keep the diets tending towards an alkalin reaction, but body-building forces. And when starches are taken, do not take these with too great quantities of carbohydrates; neither take fats with too great a quantity of starches. These kept in the outline that has been indicated would be much preferable for the body.
11. Ready for questions. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (GD enclosed letter with directions to Neuropath; also enclosed letter with directions to the Health Home Remedies Co. for preparing Radio-Active Appliance; including an
