Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, Dr. [1613].
3. As we find, there are rather the acute conditions; arising from superacidity as combined with the high nervous state of the body following the attempt to dilate or to cleanse the urethra to the bladder (and this is also a part of the cause).
4. We find that this has caused a disturbance in the prostate. This is the greater disturbance as we find now.
5. And we should use the hot applications as may be had through the applicator of the Elliott Machine, or such type of machine, so that the hot water may be put in and taken out - or to increase the temperature there, to allay the inflammation. This should be used at least every day for two or three days, and then every other day for twice the number of treatments, and then farther apart if the condition is allayed.
6. Also we would use a small quantity occasionally (about twice a week, or perhaps oftener) of Watermelon Seed Tea, as a purifier for the activities of the bladder and kidneys as related to the reduction of the uric acid in the system. This would be prepared by pouring a pint of boiling water over a teaspoonful of crushed watermelon seed and allowing it to steep as tea. Drink this within two days, dividing it into equal quantities. And then after two or three days, repeat this, see?
7. Alkalize the system by the use more of fruit juices.
8. Do these, if we would bring the better conditions for this body, Dr. [1613].
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is there a growth of any kind? (A) As we find, it is only irritation in the present. Do

not have more probing, or metal contacts; else it MAY be made a growth.
11. We are through for the present.
