Time of Reading 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Tenn. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes (very pretty surroundings), we have the body and those conditions that surround the body, Mrs. [2217].
2. Now, we find there are disorders that disturb the physical forces of the body. The are rather complicated, or complex, in their nature; and while applications have proven beneficial at times, they - lacking in that as reaches the cause of the disturbance - soon lose their effectiveness towards bringing about normal conditions.
3. The condition that causes the inertia of the distributing forces from that assimilated, causing the anemia, is from drosses that come from non-eliminations, produced by the tendency of too much of elements in the system - as produces in the system itself, especially in those of tendons, extremities, in MUSCULAR forces even at times, a sedimentary condition as of calcium - or too much of those that make for structural portions, while the centers from which the blood receives its greater incentive for cellular building is impoverished. Hence we have those conditions first where the bone structure itself, especially in rib, clavicle, sternum, and such, are in DISTRESS for the want of nutriment!
4. The attempt of the system to make those necessary contributions to the structural portions draws from the system in such a manner as to bring acute pain, in extremities, hands, feet, limbs, across the torso of the body at times, and especially along the region of the diaphragm, at TIMES producing even soreness and swelling, to say nothing of the ache and pain and inflammation that becomes apparent in the lymph itself. In the activity, the lack of plasms for the blood supply result. Hence the anemia as results.
5. The organs themselves suffer more or less, though ORGANICALLY most of the organs appear to function normally - save at intervals there are disturbances to the liver, the spleen, the kidneys, and the breath at times is painful even; the pulmonary system seems under stress, as does that

condition as apparently makes for dryness in throat, in the soft tissue of the face, the sensory system as a whole becomes acute in directions - as that the vision is impaired by too much activity of the lachrymal ducts; the nasal - too much activity of that dryness as occurs in face and nose; throat irritated by a dryness and an activity as of a little hacking cough that results from dryness; the feeling or sensation over the body as of those conditions that make for thumping, or tingling sensations, making for ringings or hummings for the ears, and the whole general INABILITY of physical forces to be OVER active in any direction.
6. Now, as we find, in meeting the needs of the conditions for this body, [2217] we are speaking of, all of these conditions that are effects - also those conditions that are causes - MUST be considered.
7. This we would outline for an application, or treatment, to be kept for at least five weeks. Then we would change somewhat the applications.
8. We would not alter the diet from that as has been given for the blood building and nerve supplying of the system.
9. Then, this is given as an outline - and manner - of those applications:
10. On Tuesdays we would give a full or complete bath of almost a saturated solution of Epsom Salts - see? PREFERABLY, these would be given as fume baths. This not being given, then we would mix at least - in a full bathtub of water - five to ten pounds of Epsom Salts, as warm as the body may well stand without taking from the vitality of the body. Remain in same until it is well cooled, by being massaged or rubbed over the body. Sponge off and rub well with THIS combination - these would be the proportions, see? Rub alcohol....................2 ounces, Russian White Oil..............2 ounces, Witchhazel.....................1 ounce, Olive Oil....................1/2 ounce. This would be especially massaged in and about the radial plexus of the extremities, as WELL as from tip of fingers TOWARDS the body and from tip of toes TOWARD the body - see? along the limbs, also along or across the brachial centers region, also across the hip and the lower dorsal region.
11. Also on Wednesdays and Saturdays we would take - for at least twenty minutes - those of the Infra RED light. This is to be taken WITH those of the bone structure, for an enlivening of same - see?
12. On Mondays and Thursdays we would give those of Chloride
2217-1 Page 3
of Gold with those of Soda - THIS proportion:
13. 15 grains of Chloride of Gold in 15 ounces of distilled water, see? 15 grains of Bicarbonate of Soda in 15 ounces of distilled water. When the dose is given (which would be at least TWICE during those days, see? morning at 8:30 to 9:00, and another dose at 1:30 - the dose being, in water, 3 drops of the Gold solution and 6 drops of the Soda solution), at 3:30 make the application of the VIOLET ray over the cerebrospinal system, and follow along the lines of the main MUSCLES and tendons to the extremities - see? This treatment would be given from five to fifteen minutes, on the same days (Mondays and Thursdays) the properties of the Gold and Soda are taken. Then, follow the violet ray treatment (immediately) with a GOOD massage of pure olive oil, CLEANSING the body with a weakened alcohol solution.
14. Keep the body warm, but not too warm. Keep as much fresh air, or open air and sunshine, as is possible.
15. At the end of the five WEEKS we will give further instructions.
16. This, as we find, will prove helpful, beneficial, and reach the SEAT of the disturbance, that MAY be ELIMINATED FROM the system. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Where should the Infra Red be applied, and for how long? (A) As for how long, it is given - for twenty minutes, see? should be applied along the spine; that is, at a distance sufficient that the whole of the spine, especially - or CENTERING over - the solar plexus, this will reach - in its aura - that of the brachial and lumbar plexus also, see?
18. We are through for the present. Copy to Husband " " File
