Time of Reading 10:45 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1013].
2. As we find, conditions in many respects are very good; yet there are tendencies and inclinations in the physical functioning of the body that unless corrected must eventually lead to very distressing conditions.
3. These, as we find, have to do with the separation of the lymph circulation and the emunctory activities from the deeper circulation. And when cellular forces become so aggravated, either by bruising or lack of elements in the system to keep a continuity of life force, they set up within themselves. Thus they draw upon the system, becoming - ORDINARILY, and oftentimes - malignant in their nature.
4. As we find in the present, these have not assumed such proportions; though there are the tendencies - through the pressures upon the superficial or vegetative nerve system and the lymph carriers - for fatty tumors, or wens, or a plethora in some duct or gland or just OFF of same an accumulation of the circulatory forces that BECOME at times as pits in which drosses are left through the very poor circulation created by this separation in the system.
5. In the deeper circulation and in the blood supply, and in the segments along the cerebrospinal system, do we find those conditions that are contributory causes to the disturbance. And by building these for a unification of activity throughout the body they would be first suppressed and no others forming. Gradually by stimulating the deeper circulation such drainages would be set up for these to become absorbed and gradually eliminated from the whole of the system.
6. We find that this will, however, require persistence and consistence on the part of the body in its relationships to such conditions and such applications.
7. Also with the correcting of these we will make correction of disturbances in the manner in which there are the
1013-1 Page 2
eliminations through the alimentary canal, the coordinations through the eliminations of the system with the hepatic circulation and the alimentary canal, the respiratory system, that are disturbed at times naturally from the disturbances through the lymph and emunctory activity. Thus we will make for a great deal better condition in every way for the body.
8. First, then, we would prepare a compound to be taken for the GENERAL system. This will at times produce some irritation, or the appearance of the forming of other centers that have weakened; but as soon as these have been taken in whole, and there has begun the stimulating and the relieving of pressures in centers, the formations will stop and absorptions will gradually begin, see?
9. Then, to 4 ounces of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin as the carrier, add: Essence of Wild Cherry Bark............1/2 ounce, Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla.........1/2 ounce, Tincture of Stillingia.................1/4 ounce, Tincture of Valerian...................1/4 ounce, Syrup of Cascara.......................1/4 ounce. Then to this add 1 ounce of Grain Alcohol into which there would be cut 1 dram Balsam of Tolu.
10. Shake thoroughly before the dose is taken, which would be 4 times each day, 1/2 teaspoonful before each meal and before retiring.
11. When one-half or two-thirds of the quantity has been taken, BEGIN with the gentle massage of the nobules or areas where there is indicated the rising of the wens or the soft or fatty tumors, with a combination of equal parts Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor and Oil of Pine Needles.
12. Now, the Oil of Pine Needles is not the same as the Turpentine, though akin. One is from the body or the sap, the other is from the needles themselves.
13. GENTLY massage this compound into those places.
14. And at the same time such gentle massage is begun, begin also with the osteopathic treatments; making corrections and causing drainages to be set up, especially in the upper dorsals and through the cervical area, COORDINATING - about every other treatment - the LUMBAR plexus WITH the dorsal and the brachial and cervical plexus.
15. These would be twice each week for a period of two weeks; that is, the osteopathic adjustments.
16. Then rest from same for two weeks.
1013-1 Page 3
17. Take then two weeks of treatments again, osteopathically.
18. By that time the whole of the properties in the compound will have been taken.
19. Then rest a week, and prepare the compound in the same proportions and take again.
20. In the diet keep towards those that are the less acid-forming foods; more of the alkalin-reacting. One meal each day should consist of the raw vegetables; made into a salad and used with dressing or olive oil. The fats should be principally from nuts, not from meats. Meats when taken should be lamb or fowl (but none ever fried). No fish should ever be taken by this body during these treatments, or during these properties.
21. Do this, and we will find the better conditions for this body, [1013].
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) If I follow these treatments, how long before the knots will be completely cured? (A) Four to six months. As indicated, these will first be HELPED - you see; that is, less of these forming; then the absorption through the eliminations will be begun.
24. (Q) What should I do about my teeth? (A) These need some LOCAL attention.
25. (Q) Are my female organs in good condition? (A) With the disturbances of such nature with the body, there are repressions and at other times an overflowing in their activity. As we have indicated, these conditions will be aided; also the digestive forces, and the sympathetic nervous forces as related to the organs of the sensory system. Do that.
26. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to DRUGGIST for preparing compound. See letter [which was enclosed] to Dr. Richardson explaining osteopathic treatments. See Alkalin-Reacting Diet List [which was enclosed].)
