Time of Reading 3:15 to 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.J. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [675].
2. Now, as we find, there are conditions the correction of which would make for better physical functionings with this body of [675]. These conditions, while the results and effects of the disturbing forces are varied, cause something of a combination or complication of disorders; and with the corrections or alterations that may be brought in the activity of the vital forces and energies of the body, there may be the resuscitating and recuperative energies that are capable of being reproduced in this body.
3. The disturbances in the BLOOD SUPPLY are the effects of the poisons, and the waste tissue not being eliminated sufficiently from the system to allow the new or the assimilated energies from the vital activity and digestive organs of the system to supply the energy necessary. Hence we have a disturbance in the metabolism of the system, a lowness at times in the blood pressure, disturbances in the eliminations through the kidneys and the bladder disorder; the abrasions that occur in the skin (or the rash) are the effect of these same types or characters of disorder. The headaches, the dull languidness, the pains to portions of the body; as specifically in the feet, in the side, throughout portions of the system, from these accumulations in muscular forces at times, are all effects of the lack of eliminations. Yet to increase only the gastric flow through the alimentary canal will not be found, and has not been found, to be sufficient for bringing permanent recuperations to the body. While this relieves, and makes for at times temporary relief, the conditions return - and with the corrections of these disorders, and the proper activity for the system to bring about a better condition, we will find the body being relieved of many other disturbing factors also, and some of the more specific conditions that have been diagnosed as the causes will be found to be eradicated

and eliminated entirely from the system.
4. As we would find, in bringing about bettered conditions for this body of [675] we are speaking of:
5. First we would begin with the use of those properties that are compounded and known as the Crazy Water Crystals. These we would take regularly for a period of at least a week, each day, so that there are at least the evacuations once, twice, yea three times each day from the alimentary canal. In the beginning we would take a heaping teaspoonful in hot water of mornings before any meal is taken; and in the evening take a level teaspoonful upon retiring, in hot water.
6. Then, after these have been taken for about a period of a week, we would begin taking a compound prepared as directed below, that will make for a much better condition, relieving those pressures in the lymph circulation where the conditions in the nasal cavity, in the head and portions of the bronchi have been of a disturbance to the body; and the general system will be built up:
7. To 4 ounces of Compound Simple Syrup, add in the order given: Essence or Tincture of Wild Ginseng......1/2 ounce, Essence of Indian Turnip.................1/4 ounce, Tincture of Stillingia...................1/2 ounce, Fluid Extract of Yellow Dock Root........1/2 ounce, Elixir of Calisaya.......................1/4 ounce, Tincture of Capsici........................5 minims. Shake the solution together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful three times each day, just before the meals.
8. And eat the meals more regularly and more consistently. Be mindful of the diet throughout the whole treatment; for in following these, and the diet in a systematic and in a consistent manner, there would come - only in doing such - any way near a permanent relief from these disorders. As to the matter of diet, let this be as an outline - not that these would be the ONLY foods, but those food values that make for the same reaction as these in the system:
9. Mornings - first a small cup of tea, or the Ovaltine; followed in twenty to thirty minutes with orange juice, grapefruit or the like, or (but not at the same meal with the citrus fruit) a dry or cooked cereal. A coddled egg at times, with dry whole wheat toast. Do not use white bread at any time, but only the whole wheat or rye bread - and this preferably toasted.
10. Noons - preferably either a raw green vegetable salad -
675-1 Page 3
that may include tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, celery, carrots and the like - or all vegetable juices; not those juices that are cooked with meats, but the juices that are combined of themselves, cooked either in a heater or Patapar paper; or meat juices - though it should never be a combination of meat juices together; either chicken broth, lamb broth or the like.
11. Evenings - well-cooked vegetables. Fish may be taken occasionally; preferably that which is NOT fried but boiled, broiled or the like. Fowl and mutton may be taken. Do not have fried food, such as steak or very fat roasts - they are detrimental to the better eliminations from the system.
12. It would be WELL that the body make associations or connections whereby, at least one day a week, there may be had a general rubdown; as in the Swedish massage or the Turkish bath, and the exercises - after the steaming of the body, and the exercising of the body.
13. Do this consistently, persistently, and we will bring near normal conditions for this body, [675].
14. (Q) Should the other compound be taken at the same time as the Crazy Water Crystals? (A) The compound is taken just before the meal, you see; while the Crazy Water Crystals would be taken some little time previous. But the compound isn't to be taken so much until AFTER the eliminations have been set up by the Crazy Water Crystals. When the compound is begun, leave off so much of the Crystals, you see; but take more of the rubs then - beginning with those, but do not take the rubs and baths during the period the Crazy Water Crystals are being taken.
15. (Q) What brought about this condition? (A) Debilitation from the poor eliminations. Overtaxation. Too much work, not enough play.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (9/29/34 GD's note: See letter [which was enclosed] to druggist. If you have any trouble getting this filled there, send it to our local druggist Snyder and he'll fill it for you. I think you can get the other treatments alright; if anything is not understood, please let us know.)
