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 those conditions and the body here, [2288].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions. These are the effects produced by a disturbed glandular system, in some respects not active enough and in others overactive.
4. Hence a source of infection is produced in the lymph circulation, producing in the joints and locomotories the inclination towards an arthritic and neuritic reaction. One arises from the glandular disturbance, the other is the effect from the attempts of the body in its assimilation.
5. Thus there is a variation in the blood stream as to the characters of the hormones.
6. We find that this disturbance may be eliminated. While the salts and properties that have been taken tend to keep down the disturbance, or pain, we find that the causes are not being eliminated; neither are the disturbances being corrected in the glands of digestion, assimilation or distribution through the system.
7. With the persistent and consistent use of these applications which we will suggest here, we find that the body may be materially aided.
8. The effects in the glandular forces are from the lack of sufficient properties, which may be materially aided through the use of the iodine in the system in the manner which we will indicate.
9. Hence we would take it in the form of Atomidine (which is iodine in an atomic state that is not poisonous to the system). When there are the larger doses, as will be indicated, there will be a quickening of the pulsation, but with the use of the other applications which we will indicate, this disturbance will be brought to near normalcy

under the activities of the body.
10. Begin with one minim of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before the meal is taken, but each day increase the dosage one minim until eight minims are being taken.
11. Then leave off for three days.
12. Then begin again with the one minim, increasing each day one minim until eight minims are being taken.
13. Then - on the eighth day in the second series - take an Epsom Salts Bath; almost a saturated solution, and lie in same in same until there is the absorption of same through the system. Let it be as warm as the body can well stand, having sufficient water to submerge the body in same. In a large tub that would hold fifty gallons of water, put at least twenty pounds of Epsom Salts.
14. Have a thorough rubdown afterward, massaging especially the cerebrospinal system, and through the joints of the extremities, with Peanut Oil.
15. Rest from the Atomidine - after the Bath - for five days. Then begin again in the same manner as first indicated.
16. Continue until the two series are taken. Then have another Epsom Salts Bath, followed by the Peanut Oil rub.
17. After the FIRST there may be the feeling of some little stiffness. After the second Bath there will be little or none. After the third - with the properties taken in the manner indicated - it should be eliminated almost entirely.
18. As to the diet - refrain from any foods carrying any elements as of silicon, lime or the like. Hence not much meats - unless fish, fowl or lamb.
19. No fried foods of ANY character.
20. Do these, and we will eliminate the SOURCES and causes of these disturbances.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Company, 64 E. Sidney Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y.) N.Y.)
