1. HLC: 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 any questions that I may ask:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the physical forces since last we had same here. Some have been towards the creating of a better balanced condition; others have become at times rather acutely disturbing.
4. In the present we find that the disorder arise primarily from the lack of the proper character of eliminations through the system, and an unbalancing between the eliminating systems.
5. For, some are attempting to eliminate where they should be carried off in the other systems.
6. This, to be sure, produces disturbances then to the superficial circulation in the form of the disorders there, as well as a disturbance to the respiratory system AND the lower hepatic circulation.
7. In making administrations for the beneficial conditions of the body at present:
8. We would have a series of that ordinarily called the Turkish Bath; though we would make some alterations as to the manners in which these would be administered; that is:
9. Rather than using the steam rooms, we would use the Dry cabinet Bath - AND this not raised too high, owing to the irregularity in the circulation between the heart and the liver; using a FUME with same. Preferably use Witchhazel as the fume, in the cabinet - either in an open container where water is boiled, or in some form that allows the steam from same to come over the body during the period of the heat - or the dry heat; thus becoming a part of the perspiratory

activity to the system. If it is in an open container, then put about an ounce in a quart of water, you see. If it is used in a fume as from a croup cup or the like, put a teaspoonful to a pint or pint and a half of water.
10. We would take at least two of these during the first week, then in a week take another, then in ten days another; and then farther apart, dependent upon the reactions and the eliminations being set up.
11. The Fume Bath would be followed by the tub, you see. Use Pine Oil in the tub, of course.
12. Following the tub, there would be a thorough rubdown with an equal combination of Peanut Oil AND Olive Oil.
13. The absorption of these will not only stimulate better activity through the joints and the locomotory centers, but aid in establishing a better connection between the circulatory forces in the perspiratory eliminations and the deeper circulations that act towards the alimentary canal eliminations.
14. Also we would take the combinations of the vitamins A, D and G, or A, D and B-1. These - as a tonic, and as an aid to producing a better activity in the manner of assimilation, and as to resistances that may be built - will give the better influences for the body. These combinations are prepared by Sharp and Dohme in the correct proportions for these vitamins. Take one each day, especially through the winter months.
15. Do these, and keep regular with the better eliminations through alimentary canal - as the changes are wrought in the body; and we should bring the bettered conditions for this body of [1942].
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Any suggestions regarding diet for the body? (A) These things are very well in the mind of the body itself, and these will be altered to meet the needs, as we find.
18. (Q) Any other suggestions at this time? (A) These as we find we would do for the present.
19. We are through. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to Physiotherapist in giving the Fume Baths. Please let us have a description of your condition at the time of the Reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information.)
