1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, there HAS been rather the acute condition. While this is somewhat on the improve, we find that imprudence or too great a stimulation in some directions electrically might bring on a recurrence; or the lack of the prompt carrying on of eliminations of the disturbances which have existed, or too great an activity might bring on a hemorrhage - by too fast an attempt of the stone to be carried either by the natural impulse or increased impulse through the area between the bladder and through the penis.
4. Here as we find, there would be - at home - the better applications as follows:
5. Apply Mullein Stupes across the pubic area. These would be applied about every hour for a whole day, or for twelve hours, see? changing them about every hour.
6. It would be well for there to be taken a mild tea made from crushed or ground watermelon seed. The proportions would be about a teaspoonful of the ground seed to a pint of water, allowed to steep as ordinary tea. About two ounces of this would be taken every four hours, you see - until there is the relaxation to the system.
7. The Mullein Stupes would be applied over the pubic area, in front, you see, as indicated.
8. Also we would apply Turpentine Stupes across the kidney area, or just below the kidney area - that is, across the lower portion of the back or the lumbar area, just below the
1839-1 Page 2
edge of the 4th lumbar of the lower portion of the kidneys. This will tend to rest the body. A tablespoonful of Spirits of Turpentine would be put in a quart of hot or warm water, you see, and then cloths wrung out of same - preferably flannel cloth - and applied over the area.
9. Do not get on the feet too soon. No stirring about until there is almost normal reaction from all of the eliminating forces of the body.
10. Keep up that which will tend to make the perspiratory system react normally, but don't keep the body in too close an area - have plenty of fresh air.
11. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What should be done to relieve hiccoughs which he has had for 6 days? (A) Let this be done by suggestion, through such as Kuhn.
14. (Q) Should he be taken home today? (A) If there are great precautions taken that there is not too much activity on the part of the BODY.
15. We are through with this reading. Copy to Wife - Special Delivery - Phoned also " " Mr. [257] " " Ass'n file (GD's note: I am sending a copy to [257] as he will be able to help you get started on the treatments correctly. Get Watermelon Seed from SEED STORE. Dried Mullein Leaves may be purchased from any crude drug place. You might try Eimer & Amend. You make the Poultice by steaming the leaves with hot water and applying directly to the body between thin gauze. [257] or Hugh Lynn can put you in touch with Dr. Kuhn [Leslie Kuhn, M.D.?] I think he is associated with Columbia, and was on the radio one night with Hugh Lynn. Please let us hear how he responds. We have had another case similar to this - in North Carolina. He has gotten along MARVELOUSLY through following the reading suggestions, which were similar to these here given. I'm sure he would be glad to tell you his experience, if you care to write him: Mr. [843] ..., N.C.)
