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 may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, the unbalancing of a chemical reaction - which has caused an increase in the quantity of the lymph to be active, forming and becoming inflammatory in its nature through infection - causes such accumulations in face and head and eyes as to become of such measures as to attack even the structural portions of the system there.
4. To be sure, it affects - through the areas attacked - the organs of the sensory system.
5. This as we find may be allayed, and possibly - with the very close following of same - eventually brought under control.
6. First, we would apply to the affected areas, especially about the neck and head, compresses of the Beet Leaves, finely chopped together - made into a poultice or pack. Use the raw beet leaves, to be sure, not cooked. Bruise and chop them and pour boiling water over them, in an enamel or glass container not metal. Then apply between gauze, about half an inch thick. These poultices or packs should be changed about every two hours, until swelling has begun to allay.
7. Under the direction of a physician, and ONLY by same, we would have an injection in the spinal area - though not in the spine - of a hundred and twentieth (120th) of a grain of Atropine - to react upon the lymph circulation.
8. If it is necessary to repeat the injection, hypodermically, this may be done every second or third day, - dependent upon the reactions.
9. Also the compresses, or the poultices of the Raw Beet Leaves will aid in reducing this disturbance.
10. Give the properties in the diet and in the activities

that are well for a better cleansing of the eliminations. These also should be directed by the physician.
11. Do these - and we may then have the opportunity - if these react properly - for the aiding in other directions.
12. Ready for questions.
13. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file e
