1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are gradually on the improve.
4. We would change very few of those conditions about the body in the present; a little as to some applications, and some as to the manner of the massage with the applications that we would change in the present.
5. The reasons for the changing are that, as nerve ends are becoming more alive through the tendency for atrophy in the nerves and muscles of the lower limbs and through the ends of the feet, there is too much acidity. And with the great quantity of pus that has been in the upper circulation and through parts of the body, it is necessary that the applications be not only alkaline in themselves but alkalin-producing to the superficial circulation as it picks up same - with its circulation through affected areas.
6. These we would do.
7. Keep the massage. The masseur is very good. Be a little bit deeper, especially in the sacral and the lumbar; not to produce bruises, not to bear down more, but rather to use the muscular-structural portions as leverage, kneading the muscles and tendons through the area; in the area close to the end of nerves at the end of the spine, or in the coccyx area of the spine - but this more by leverage used of the hip and the nerves at the head of the sciatic centers centers, and the larger nerve down each side of the limbs. And these will change, especially with the applications we would indicate.
8. In the use of the Appliance - use all three of the solutions indicated. If the connections are kept clean, the same anodes may be used, see?
9. Apply the Gold to the umbilical center through the larger plate, and apply the copper plate at the 9th dorsal.

10. The Atomidine attach to the inside area of the left knee, but the upper portion. For the use of the Camphor, alternate. This should be at the inside of the foot. This will be put TWICE on the left foot to once on the right foot. But keep that straight, and use it in its turn.
11. Do this, and then each day - of evening - bind at least four times around the knee (the left knee) a strip of cotton cloth well saturated with Glyco-Thymoline. Also use at least three thicknesses to the lumbar and sacral axis.
12. Occasionally - but not every day - perhaps every other day, apply such a pack also to the feet.
13. Let these remain on for at least an hour. The body will rest better, and it will respond more to the treatments as the massages are given.
14. The Wheat Germ may be taken dry in the cereal if this is desirable. But it may be taken at times in the Wheat Germ Oil. But the Wheat Germ itself, on the cereal, will be good.
15. To supply the elasticity to the nerves and muscles, as to enable the body to assimilate same, with the application of the Gold and the electrical forces - take internally at least once each day about a quarter teaspoonful of Gelatine, thoroughly dissolved. Dissolve preferably in a little warm water, and then cool it by adding a little ice water, and then cool it by adding a little ice water, and drink it before it begins to congeal, see?
16. These will be the ways and manners.
17. Swim as much as practical in the general activities, but keep active and keep working AT IT! For you will grow strong within the next two to three months. And you should be on your feet and running around, and be able to kick up your heels considerable!
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) How often should the massage be given? (A) Every other day if possible.
20. (Q) How long should each of the solutions be attached? (A) For thirty minutes. Of course, don't use the same solution for longer than fifteen treatments. Do not leave the connections in the solution when not in use.
21. (Q) Any suggestions regarding diet now? (A) Keep that which is body building, but don't get too fat! Use those that are good, but not too much meat - occasionally smother the steak when you can get it! Use a great deal of fish, and use shark if you can get it also. But don't eat horse meat!
22. (Q) Would any form of violet ray be of help? (A) DO NOT USE THE VIOLET RAY - NOW!

23. (Q) For the information of Dr. Melvin Craig of St. Petersburg, is it possible for the nerves which were damaged or destroyed to be wholly made well? (A) Look at the body and what it's doing! It answers itself! They are BEING made well!
24. (Q) Would any of the gland treatments of Dr. Craig be of help for this body? (A) Might have been the day when they could have been of help, but it was long before the body became ill! Not good for the body in the present condition! We have got to build back to the activities of the glands. Do these things as indicated, and keep the attitude of the body in that way not merely of being good, but good for something.
25. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Air Mail " " Ass'n file le
