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 the body here, [2317].
3. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal physical functioning. These with their effects produce rather a complication of disturbances, and would gradually grow worse unless some definite or specific measures are taken for the correction of same.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2317].
5. In the blood supply we find the effect of an organic disturbance, as well as in the nervous system; where these disturbances of the nature that arise from the genital forces cause irregularities in circulation, elimination, producing the incoordinant reaction in the nerve system - through those centers and areas that are associated with the coordinating of cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve systems.
6. We find the nerve forces affected sympathetically; with pressures being produced, as well as the activities and reflexes from same; being causes and effects of other disturbances.
7. As to the organs themselves of the body - these all in a manner suffer from the reactions to the blood, and to the nervous system.
8. Thus there are weakened conditions in the abilities of assimilation, as well as in the ability for digestive forces and the distribution of such energies through the system.
9. Then, all of the organs - brain reflexes, vision, teeth, tonsils and soft tissue of the palate, and lungs - all of these show indications or the effects of the disturbance in the blood system, as well as in the nervous forces and reflexes from the generative forces of the body-functionings

themselves, from which the re-infectious forces cause constant strain upon the whole mental and physical body.
10. Then, in making helpful administrations for the body, we would first give that there be prepared a solution to be used as a penis douche.
11. To 2 ounces of Distilled Water we would add one teaspoonful of Atomidine. Use a penis syringe full of this solution as a douche for the genitive system, through the urethra, at least once every day. This is to prevent the activities upon the kidneys becoming more involved in the disturbance.
12. Also each morning before the meal, take internally three drops of this solution stirred in water - that is, drinking same, see?
13. We would prepare another solution as a tonic and as a purifier for the bodily functionings, and for the blood stream.
14. To 1 gallon of Rain Water or Distilled Water, add - in the order named: Yellow Dock Root...............1 ounce, Burdock Root.................1/4 ounce, Prickly Ash Bark.............1/2 ounce, Dogfennel....................1/4 ounce, Mandrake Root..................5 grains, Buchu Leaves..................15 grains, Elder Flower...................4 ounces. Reduce this by slow boiling, using enamelware - not tin, metal or aluminum, but glass or enamelware - until when strained through the paper for purifying there is 1 quart left.
15. Add to the quart, then: Pure Grain Alcohol......3 ounces, after 1 dram of Balsam of Tolu has been cut in same.
16. The dose would be a teaspoonful four times each day, - before the meals and upon retiring.
17. At least twice during the period that this compound is being taken, have a colonic irrigation - to overcome those tendencies for the prolapsus which has been created in the colon area, and to cleanse the colon from drosses which will naturally be thrown into the circulation with the taking of this compound.
18. As to the diet - do not partake of any drinks with carbonated water, but drink plenty of good fresh water.
19. Some quantity of either fruit or vegetable juices, or
2317-1 Page 3
both, should be taken each day.
20. Refrain from white bread, white potatoes, and those things that cause acidity.
21. Meats if taken should be fish, fowl or lamb, but even these in moderation.
22. Do these consistently, persistently; and we will rid the body of the disturbing conditions, allowing the system to purify and adjust itself, and bringing better activity, coordinant activity with the organs of the body; clearing the vision, the mental aspects, purifying the system, removing all of those nervous depressions, also the insomnia will be eliminated from the experience of the body.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) The dull headaches? (A) These arise from the unbalancing between the coordinant centers of sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. These will be eliminated with the purifying of the system, and with better eliminations being established.
25. (Q) Lack of memory and concentration? (A) These are a part of the effects from those conditions indicated. Do as we have outlined, if we would bring the better conditions for the body.
26. (Q) What should be done for the burning of eyes and feeling as if they are being drawn deep into their sockets? (A) This is a part of the infection that is causing the strain upon the organs of the sensory system, as we have indicated. Purifying the system, ridding it of all the toxic conditions, and purifying the blood stream, will eliminate these conditions.
27. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file file
