Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.C. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are much bettered conditions in the body from those we have had here before; yet there are many conditions that are desirable for the clearing up of same. And, as we find, while improvements have come, at times there is a reversal to disturbing conditions - through the tendency for the reversal to some of the disturbing conditions in the cuticle, from the activity or lack of activity in glands, and from the effects that have been created in the blood supply that find their expression in the cuticle and portions of the extremities, hands and feet at times - and in face.
3. There has not been at all times as close consistency in carrying out the diet and other suggestions that were indicated for the body, in the present we would change these - disregarding all other suggestions now, and doing these in the present:
4. The Atomidine we would take in THIS manner in the present: Begin with two minims before the morning meal and two minims before retiring of evening; continue in this manner for five to six days, or a week - say from Monday until Saturday, you see, inclusive. Leave off, then, for a like period. Then begin with five minims morning and evening for a like period. Then leave off for a like period. Then take eight minims in the same manner for a like period. Then leave off for a period of two weeks. Then begin all over again in the same manner, with the two minims twice each day, five minims, eight minims, the rest, and so on. Repeat the whole procedure for three or four rounds.
5. Also, ONLY at the periods when the Atomidine is NOT taken, we would take internally the Animated Ash - one-eighth grain morning and evening. Empty the Ash dry on tongue and wash down with water. Do NOT take Ash IN the capsule!

6. Three to five minutes after the Ash has been taken (and be very mindful that this is done each time), use the violet ray for three to five minutes (only when the Ash is taken, and not during the period of taking the Atomidine) along the cerebrospinal system; about one minute over the lower cervical and upper dorsal area, and the rest of the time (not too fast!) along the cervicals, the dorsals, the lower lumbar, the lumbar and the sacral, and even to the coccyx area. Preferably apply this as the body lies prone; this means lying down, on the face, see?
7. Also we would prepare a lotion consisting of one ounce of Iodex with three grains of Animated Ash worked together very thoroughly. Use this as an ointment on hands, feet, and those portions where there are the abrasions; dressing same with the antiseptic that is of a very mild nature, such as would be found in using a tablespoonful of Lavoris to a pint of water - when this is necessary. Dab off not with cotton but preferably with a dressing cloth, that is sterilized.
8. As to the diet, these would not be the ONLY things - but these are listed as an outline for those that SHOULD and should NOT be taken:
9. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, brown bread toasted, coddled egg, very crisp bacon, stewed fruits or baked apples, or things of that nature.
10. One meal each day should be wholly of the fresh, green, raw vegetables.
11. At the other meal we would have a well-balanced vegetable diet, with three vegetables grown above the ground to one grown below; though such vegetables as turnips, parsnips, beets, carrots or radishes may be included among those grown ABOVE the ground - that may be used either raw OR cooked as the regular vegetables. But either Irish or sweet potatoes, or rutabaga (turnips and rutabaga will be different for this body!), are those vegetables to be warned of. No hog meat that is flesh of any kind; no bacon that is not VERY crisp - and this only at the morning meal. No fried foods at ANY time. No raw apples, no bananas. Quantities of grapes may be taken at any time; these will be found to be effective.
12. After each meal, during ALL of the periods (that is, the whole time), take a quarter teaspoonful of BiSoDol in a full glass of water.
13. Keep the eliminations regulated, preferably by diet. When necessary have a cleansing or a bath for the intestinal system, or the colon - by high enemas; which IS necessary at least once a month. These will remove refuse forces that are increased in the eliminations, and the tendencies for
677-2 Page 3
the turning of the eliminations of the poisons from the system to their correct channels; for two-thirds of the eliminations should be carried through the alimentary canal and the kidneys themselves.
14. The kidney conditions in the body are improved, though they cause distress at times owing to the inflammation that lies between the hepatic circulation (that's the liver and kidney circulation, you see). The irritation or the excess amount of the acidity in the urine makes for some bladder disturbance, but with the constant taking of the BiSoDol in the small quantity indicated - for a period of six to eight to ten weeks - this should be entirely eliminated.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) By what may I know that the condition has entirely cleared in my body? (A) That the conditions disappear, the body feels better, is clear of the headaches, the dizziness, the rash and breaking out on the body, the eliminations are near normal, the tastes are near normal, the activities of the vision, the speech, and that there is the lack of the trembling sensation. All of these; these are general indications. Do as we have outlined and we will bring for this body near normalcy.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Helen Storey " " Ass'n file (See copy of letter [which was enclosed] explaining Ash, and where obtained.)
