1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time - with special reference to growth in lower part of abdomen; giving cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1712].
3. As we find, the general developments physically and mentally of the body are very good.
4. Irrespective of the condition existent in the broken cellular force which has formed itself into a fatty cyst, there needs to be consideration given to replenishing the blood supply - not only with the operative forces (which as we find would be necessary) but afterwards; and to keeping vitamins that are necessary for the better development of the body.
5. But these as we find should be given in such a way and manner as to coordinate with the system, and not the system gradually depend upon same.
6. Hence as we find, we would take the Halibut Oil with Viosterol; about one pellet every other day, with a glass of milk - or when drinking milk, see? This would be kept up especially throughout the periods of the winter months, - consistently.
7. And keep the body in the open and sunshine as often and as much as is practical with the general conditions.
8. As to the condition which has developed here: This as we find is a broken cellular force, or a cell, that is accumulating - and would gradually become a growth.
9. So long as it is not static, nor stayed in the present, - that is, so long as it is able to be moved, as we find it is not so harmful; but SHOULD there become an injury, or through some manner this cause a greater strain, then it would adhere or join to some portion of the body, or even to the lining of the lower portion of the abdomen - in such a
1712-1 Page 2
manner as to become practically a very serious disturbance.
10. Hence while the body is young, as we find it would be the more practical for this to be removed; for it would mean very little in the present, if carefully removed, and consistently - consistent with the general condition; save for the natural period of time for recuperative forces, no inconvenience should be experienced by same.
11. Then, we would have same removed.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Is the body physically able to stand a surgical operation for the removal of the growth? (A) As indicated, it will be very well if there's a little time given for body building, with the better blood supply. But it is in very good condition, if these applications are kept in the manner indicated for body and blood building afterwards - with these additional properties for the assimilating forces of the system.
14. (Q) About how long should it take the body, under these conditions, to be ready for the operation? (A) It'll be ready, of course, immediately - if the general tests show that it is in proper condition, see?
15. (Q) Would you advise that we have Dr. W. P. Herbert, surgeon, of Asheville, N.C., to perform the operation? (A) Dr. Herbert is very good, and is well in keeping with the proper consideration of the general conditions which exist. Very well.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [843] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
