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 which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1926].
3. Now as we find, there are physical and mental disturbances with this body. These have their inception from conditions which have arisen from the general strain upon the physical body by childbearing, and conditions which have existed since the last of such - as combined with some attempts for prevention of same.
4. These, then, are disturbances as we find with this body.
5. In the mental reactions do we find the greater disturbance.
6. The continued use of sedatives or hypnotics, and these combined with those forms of the compound from saltpeter, will only tend to make for a greater destruction to the impulse of the nerve force as related to brain AND to the activities in the body, as they reflect through the mental, imaginative and physical forces of the body.
7. These have begun to produce conditions in the portions of the brain where there is felt at times quite severe pain, of which the body complained before there was the breakdown.
8. This is NOT in the form of a tumor, but is rather a thickening of the tissue there - owing to those conditions and pressures which exist in relationship to the organs of the pelvis with the nerve forces as related to the glandular reaction in the base of the brain, as well as to the frontal and the side portion of same where the glands in the head coordinate with the SYMPATHETIC nervous system.
9. As we find, we would bring the better conditions for this body if there were the transferring of the body from the

present environs or surroundings to such an institution as in Macon, Missouri. For, there the body might have the hospitalization under more sympathetic environs, and also the use of manipulative forces to correct those pressures that exist along the cerebrospinal system; also the use of applications that, by absorption, might reduce those conditions which exist in portions of the brain cavity, or brain cellular force itself.
10. Under such supervision, then, six months should see the body restored near to normal.
11. THAT we would do.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What specific treatments would be necessary? (A) As we have indicated, those to reduce the pressures which exist in the lower portion of the spinal system, as well as the application of the low electrical forces for the breaking up of the conditions of thickened tissue in the areas at the base of brain and through the cavity itself as indicated.
14. (Q) What kind of low electrical treatment? (A) Let this be administered by those in charge there, as they will find and see the needs of the body and the character of treatment needed for producing absorption, see? Do these, as we find - as well as the care, the precautions, and the KINDNESS will make a great change.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self through Mr. [...], ..., N.J., marked Personal " " Mr. [...] % [257], ..., New York City - this copy to be sent to Still-Hildreth Sanatorium, Macon, Missouri, Atten. Dr. R. H. Still " " Ass'n file (See under separate cover to Mr. [257] some literature regarding Still-Hildreth Sanatorium. At your convenience we would appreciate a history of this case to the time of obtaining the Reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information. This is valuable for our records.) .)
