Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Hopkinsville, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [715]; this we have had before. (These surroundings [in the office, 129 East 7th St., Hopkinsville, Ky.] - there's been many associations in the activities.)
2. As we find with this body, conditions are not so good as when we had them last. There have been many changes to come about. There are, as we have indicated, two definite disturbances with this body; and each has grown somewhat more aggravated than last we had it.
3. The changes that have been wrought, the changes in the applications because they have been somewhat easier - to have someone else give a shot or to give a tablet or a compound - have not worked well with or for the body.
4. The body then MUST choose, either to have the one or the other application. These become part of same. Not that there may not be gained help if there is the full adherence from either application, but as we find these would be MUCH better conditions and would make for the removal of causes - assisting the body to create sufficient of the vitality to be able to carry on. Otherwise we will find there must come a time when either there will be such a discouragement as to end it, or a dragging out for a long experience under very adverse circumstances.
5. These then are the disturbances to be reckoned with:
6. First there are those conditions that indicate the tubercle in its inceptive forces, through portions of the body. There are those disturbances in the genitive system, genitive organs, that make for an aggravation to the nerve system; keeping the body reduced in weight, in resistance, and making for a general irritation that becomes a contributory cause to that which is to be combated in the blood supply of the system as well as in the resistances of the whole physical organism.
7. Then in the present, we would first find it well to use douches at least twice a week; oftener if there is the
715-4 Page 2
irritation that is more and more disturbing.
8. First we would take douches with two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline in a quart of water, the temperature of the body. After these have been taken as a cleansing for the organs, for the uterus, for the accompanying organs that throw off the disturbed forces, then we would use Atomidine douches - a teaspoonful to each pint of water that may be used, see; this proportion, whether there's a pint or a quart. If it's a quart, use two teaspoonsful; if it's two quarts use four teaspoonsful of the Atomidine, see? This is to reduce the irritation there, sufficient that these may not become a part of the disturbing conditions. For if the hepatic circulation is once a portion of those activities from the blood supply from the lung forces as well as the other portions of the organism, then the end is near.
9. Also we would prepare an inhalant in this manner:
10. To a gallon charred keg put half a gallon of Pure Apple Brandy. Have a small opening so that the fumes may be inhaled; not the brandy but the FUMES from same. Keep tightly corked and where evaporation may take place and be kept as the fumes from same. This would be inhaled night and morning, much in the manner as you would inhale a cigarette; this into the throat and the lungs for the strength, for the cleansing forces it will give.
11. Take Calcidin tablets; these may be taken about once a day, twice if necessary.
12. Then be very mindful of the diet.
13. Occasionally we would take a spray prepared in THIS way and manner:
14. To 1/2 ounce of Pure GRAIN Alcohol (not that which is denatured in any manner, but at least 85% to 90% pure grain alcohol), add - in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptol.........................10 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp......................2 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin...............4 minims, Tolu in solution..........................10 minims, Rectified Creosote.........................1 minim. Put these in 2 ounces of Distilled Water to be used as a spray for throat and for nasal passages mornings OR evenings, or both if the throat and the nasal passages continue to give disorders.
15. Of evenings have grain alcohol rubs along the spine to reduce these temperatures.
16. As to the diet:
17. Mornings - there should be cereals and fruits and
715-4 Page 3
vegetable juices; that is, such as kraut juice, tomato juice or the like; or citrus fruit juices, or fresh fruits, or melons, or the like, see? But do not have cereals at the same meal when citrus fruit juices are taken! A cup of Cocoa or Coffee may also be taken, with a BROWN BREAD toast!
18. Between the morning and noon meal, take a cup of Malted Milk with a raw egg beat in same. The WHOLE of the egg, you see, in a whole glass of Malted Milk - not a large glass but a whole glass - a tumbler, see?
19. Noons - soups, vegetables soups, vegetables or the like.
20. Evenings - the meats that are taken would be fowl or lamb. No hog meat. No BEEF, though beef juice may be taken of an EVENING. Beef juice - this does not mean beef broth, but beef juice for the strengthening. And NO FRIED FOODS AT ALL! Especially not fried potatoes or fried meats or fried eggs or fried foods of that nature.
21. Keep the eliminations, though at times it may be necessary to use each day an enema for several days. Have the enema the temperature of the body, and to each quart of water put a level teaspoonful of salt in such an enema. These are preferable to taking cathartics, but do not allow a single day without an activity from the alimentary canal.
22. Do these consistently, persistently, for the better conditions of this body.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) What is this constant numbness in my feet, legs and hands? (A) Poor circulation produced by the lack of strength and vitality. Do those things in the ways and manners indicated. The rubs of evening will make for the strengthening, as will the reducing of the temperature aid the whole body.
