1. EC: Yes. Not so good in the immediate, as we find; yet we find there are some improvements. Naturally, from the very age and the general conditions, the reactions for the betterment are slow.
2. We would continue with the manipulations that have been indicated; using the vibrations from the Wet Cell Battery for bringing strength to the body.
3. And, as we find, the body would be aided materially were there given internally very small quantities of Gold with the common Soda. The two solutions would be made in these proportions, and kept separate: One solution would be in the proportion of 20 grains Bicarbonate of Soda to 10 ounces of distilled water. The other solution would be in the proportion of 1 grain Chloride of Gold to 1 ounce of distilled water. Do not put the two together until the dosage is to be taken, which should be the first day 1 minim of the Gold solution and 2 minims of the Soda solution in half a glass of water. Increase each day 1 minim until there would be taken 5 minims of the Gold solution and 10 minims of the Soda solution. Then leave it off for five days. Then begin with the 1 minim of the Gold solution and 2 minims of the Soda solution, gradually increasing each day in the proportion indicated. Repeat this procedure for three or four rounds. While the Soda is a very strong alkalin, and the Gold is an acid, with these combining with the gastric flow of the stomach we will find they will become active with the reproductive glands in ALL portions of the system. They will make for the flow and stimulation to the flow of the nerve forces in a much bettered condition.
4. For the condition in the hip and that which has caused and does cause such excruciating pain, the inability for the locomotion or for the body to stand, we would continue to use the massages or rubs. And we would apply the saturated

solution of Epsom Salts in hot packs, following the application of those properties combined that will relieve the pains - such as we have indicated for such conditions; that is, whenever the pain is VERY severe, spread on the area of the hip FIRST - before the use of the Salts packs, a combination of three parts Tincture of Laudanum to one part Aconite - PAINT the hip with it. These, as we find, would be the more helpful for this body.
5. Be patient. Be persistent. And, as we find, while we may not CURE entirely, we can - through these measures - bring relief from the suffering WITHOUT the administering of the narcotic effects upon the system. If these are ever resorted to, we will find that the Codeine will be the more effective and the less harmful to the body; one-eighth to one-twentieth of a grain.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Having never handled a Wet Cell Battery - (A) (Interrupting) Then use it just as we have given! Note these changes - these are the effects it creates: An equalizing of the circulation from the head to the feet, to the lower portions. Possibly you've never noticed, either, that there is a difference in the pulsation in such a body in the various extremities! that is, there would be found in the right wrist a different pulsation to that in the left ankle, a variation of some five beats; or in one that would be 80 and the other 85 to 89, see? These are, then, the characterizations; that we will find a more uniformity when these applications are put on - to pass directly through from one plate or anode to another; we will find the body more quiet; we will find the general mental reactions more normal. These, in this particular body, are the reactions from such applications.
8. We are through with this reading. [GD's note: Indicating another check reading might be given, for someone else, before waking up.]
9. That is all.
10. We are through for the present. Copy to Dr. [657] " " Ass'n file (See copy of directions [which were enclosed] for applying Epsom Salts Packs.)
