Time of Reading 3:40 to 4:05 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 here, [1897].
3. Now as we find, there is such a combination of disturbances that apparently there is a great deal more physical disturbance than would be indicated if there were the correct analysis made, and if there were the applications for improvement that would relieve many of these.
4. For, a blood condition, a tendency for weakness, tendency towards the formation of clots, the general physical reactions of splotches and spots over the superficial circulation - all of these, as we find, indicate a glandular condition and an unbalancing in the chemical reactions - or assimilations - of the body.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1897] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates there is the lack of elements, which causes weakness through the body, improper coagulation, and also the conditions existent in the gums and mouth - which, though localized, is a part of the whole general condition. However, as combined with other portions, there will be required local attention or application for the conditions which have been produced.
7. For this has been of such long standing - the whole general disturbance - as to form conditions in separate circulations, or centers from which the impulse is received by the various portions of the body that suffer within themselves.
8. As indicated, though, a general as well as local application will relieve these disturbances, as we find.
9. Also, through this blood disturbance, and the glands of the thyroid as well as the glands about the liver
1897-2 Page 2
excretions, and the adrenals in the area just above the kidneys, we find that spots occur at times over portions of the body. These become irritations, discolorations, and then at times may disappear without any disturbance, as the system is able to accumulate sufficient of those elements lacking which need to be added to the system.
10. In the nerve forces there has been produced this same disturbance, as well as in the glands indicated which have become involved - and unless corrections are made these will make greater involvement later on, forming in some portions of the system either as a crystallizing in the extremities or at times stiffness in feet, ankle, knees, limbs, and in the hands and arms.
11. All of these are the effects of this general disturbance.
12. As we find, in making application of those things which would be most beneficial - first:
13. About three times each week, with the meal, we would take as much of CALCIOS as may be spread (as butter) on a wafer.
14. Also we would take a teaspoonful of Acigest in a glass of milk (only using raw milk) once each day for five days; leave off three days and then take for five days more - and so on.
15. During each three-day rest period from taking the Acigest, for at least two or three periods, we would have the general adjustments with the hydrotherapy; that is, the hot and cold baths and the massage following same. These, kept with the other things indicated, in three to five periods should make a great deal of change.
16. Also we will find that the specific conditions will gradually be aided; but for these conditions already existent, we would use the following:
17. For the soft tissue of the face and nasal passages, the disturbance indicated by the inclination for the running of the ear, we would prepare a solution in this manner:
18. To 1 ounce of Glycerine add 7 drops (well, WELL stirred) of Carbolic Acid.
19. When ready to retire, drop about 2 to 3 drops in the ear.
20. Then at least once a week the ear would be thoroughly cleansed, preferably with an ear syringe, see?
21. For the teeth and gums - we would use IPSAB three times each week as a massage, and as a wash.
22. As to the general diet - have a great deal each day of raw as well as cooked vegetables. Not a great deal of meat, but fish or fowl only. These as we find are the better for

the body.
23. Also include in the diet, once each week, a small Jerusalem artichoke - to assist in the activities from the adrenals upon the liver and the kidneys, in their relationships to the glands of digestion - as the spleen, the liver and pancreas especially.
24. Keeping these persistently, with the general and the local treatments indicated, we will find bettered conditions for this body.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) What has caused hair to lose its color, lustre and texture? (A) The effect upon the glandular system - and, as indicated, with the general disturbances eliminated, and better conditions in the blood supply, we will find these will be much improved.
27. (Q) Does this also cause the finger nails to constantly break off? (A) This is also from the glandular forces - the thyroid, as indicated, which is being affected by the general poor circulation, as well as the activity of the gland force itself from a very debilitated nervous and blood supply. Those things indicated will correct these. Do that.
28. (Q) Why has concentration become difficult? (A) The lack of the proper impulse - caused by pressure upon the general nerve system, from toxic poisons in the body. These as we find will be purified by the hydrotherapy, as well as the change in the effect upon the general system by the use of those elements indicated which will supply that as will be assimilated by the system. Better digestion, better assimilation, better circulation, - and then local conditions will be better throughout the body.
29. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for hydrotherapist. We would refer you to: Dr. L. H.
