1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [712].
2. Now, as we find, we have a complication of conditions that are serious and are gradually growing the more serious as the body attempts to adjust itself to the disorders and distortions that have been produced in the system by the effect of the operative forces, as well as those disturbances that have been created by the effect of the hypnotics and the bromides in the system. While under the existing conditions the operative measures WERE rather the most promising, but there certainly should have been taken into consideration the periods of the cycles of activities of the BODY when this was performed, and more preparation made for same.
3. Hence we have, as we find, not only a physical condition but a mental aberration that is gradually increasing, to combat; and unless some very definite and specific measures are taken, as we find, it will not be so good!
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body - these that are, as we find, not all the disorders, but those that we have primarily to deal with now in making any evidences of recuperative measures for the body that will be of a permanent or lasting nature, that may give the individuality and personality a clear body and mind in which to function in the rest of this experience.
5. The BLOOD SUPPLY is lacking in its abilities to carry the proper coagulative forces within the system itself. Hence we have conditions that arise from time to time in various portions of the organs that should be dealt with as individual conditions. These are making for the greater STRAIN upon the whole of the general organisms themselves; for such poor assimilation and distribution of the energies is shown, with the lack of the forces that may be supplied through a corrected blood stream.
6. The tendency to attempt to keep the subjugation, by
712-1 Page 2
cutting off the nerve influences or forces that are necessary, produces pains, the inability to sleep, restlessness, and such activities. These are destructive to the proper drainages being set up in the system, even though there WERE a perfect coagulation and a perfect assimilation and distribution through the blood supply. Hence we have flitful periods in the mental conditions; flitful conditions expressed in the pulsations and the heart's activity, when - if these were more normal conditions - we do not find organic heart disorders, but rather the reflexes from a condition where the nerve reflexes become such that those that are of the voluntary nature become involuntary in their actions, and oftentimes those that are involuntary must become voluntary - or the according to, or the suggesting to, of a very deep nature, to find responses in the body itself.
7. These are the conditions, then, to be combated:
8. As we find in the present, these taken into the system in this form and manner would be of the most beneficial nature for this body, [712] we are speaking of:
9. We would take each day a quarter grain of the Animated Ash; and in three to five minutes after it has been taken we would give the ultra-violet ray for two minutes - and let it be extended from the upper portion of the cervical area to at least the lower portion of the dorsal area; this means by moving the central radiation point on the body, see? Not over two and a half minutes, and this at least thirty to forty inches from the body.
10. Also we would make application of the vibratory influences to the body from the Chloride of Gold and Spirits of Camphor, carried into the body through the currents of the wet cell appliance that charges itself. These applications would be made for twenty minutes in the morning with the Spirits of Camphor and for fifteen minutes in the evening with the Chloride of Gold. At each period the anodes should be charging through the solution for at least five to ten minutes before attached to the body. With the Camphor solution, make the attachments as follows: The first anode (or the small one) would be at the 9th dorsal plexus. The larger anode, through which there is the vibration of the solution, would be at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical centers. We will clarify the head vibrations with these conditions.
11. In the evening, with the Gold solution, the attachments would be made as follows: The first application, or the smaller anode, would be to the brachial center. The larger anode would be over the umbilicii and lacteal duct area.

12. Apply for the length of time as indicated.
13. With these stimulations from the vibrations, from the variations that would be made by the Ash to stimulate the circulation and slow down the heart's action and those periods of smothering that occur, we would gradually leave off as much as possible the heart stimulant and the hypnotics that are being taken; GRADUALLY diminish same.
14. Each evening we would have a massage along the whole of the cerebrospinal system; a gentle massage; not a correction in any segment of the spine but rather as to make a coordination by a circular motion over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 9th dorsal, and the 4th lumbar plexus, that we may make a coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. And we will find greater rest and ease for the body.
15. Then, in five to ten days we would give further instructions for this body, if it maintains any strength from these applications.
16. Keep the diet in that which is easily assimilated and body- building, without creating too much heat for the system. Beef juices in very small quantities given often. Junket, arrowroot, beef juices combined even with vegetable juices - without the vegetables - will be found helpful. Very small quantities of a very light wine, just so that it does not produce heat.
17. Camomile tea and Saffron tea altered from time to time, a little of these in place of water at times, will settle the stomach and make for the releasing of the irritations.
18. Ready for questions.
19. Do these.
20. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [333] " " Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] explaining the Animated Ash; also letter to Reilly Service with specifications for battery. You probably understand other treatments and can obtain them alright. IF the body responds we can give check-up while in New York. See letter [which also was enclosed] to Dr. Robertson [Lawrence S. Robertson, D.O.] with directions for ultra-violet treatments. GD.)
