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, [2321].
3. As we find, there are many disturbing conditions, but these all arise primarily from the conditions which have existed - and do exist - through the pulmonaries.
4. This arose from the dust of silicon nature, which caused such irritation that later there came the infectious forces from the tubercle - that, from the very nature of the activity of silicon upon the body, HAS been more detrimental to the circulatory forces as related to the liver AND the digestive system.
5. While there have been those administrations that have in a great manner allayed the inroads of the condition through the lung, a portion of same has adhered to the sac or pleura. THIS causes the greater distress there.
6. Also there is the inability of the assimilations, as from the effects upon the digestive forces that are acted upon through the circulation in the liver. There is the lack of acids in the proper relations or proportions, also the lack of sufficient of the elements of the calcium nature in the body.
7. Thus the greater weaknesses are produced, and the inability of resistance being completely built up.
8. As we find, the diets, the care in the open are excellent; but if we would add these - as we will suggest here - there may be found a great deal of assistance, and the eventual gaining of strength to the body:
9. First we would prepare an antiseptic for the bronchi and the lungs, the trachea, that will be most effective in stimulating circulation through that portion of the lung where the lesion and the opening occurs at present. Prepare
2321-1 Page 2
it in this way and manner:
10. In a two gallon oak keg, charred inside, put one gallon of Pure Apple Brandy. Close the bung tight. Make two openings in one end, one that may be kept tightly corked and only opened as an air vent when the other would be opened through which the fumes from the evaporation of the liquid would be inhaled. Through keeping the keg in a warm place, the evaporation that takes place in the space above the liquid in the form of gas or fumes may be inhaled into the lungs two to three times each day. At first only take one or two deep inhalations at the time, through the mouth - to be sure, but breathe or draw into the lungs, NOT the stomach. Then after three or four days there may be two or three whiffs at the time, and the amount gradually increased as the strength is aided by same.
11. At least once each day take a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred in a glass of raw milk (sweet milk). This is to aid in carrying the proper balance of the digestive foods or compounds that will assimilate with the gastric flow of the stomach; thus enabling the body to better assimilate those foods that are taken.
12. Twice each day we would add the calcium through the compound known as CALCIOS; just about the quantity as would cover a small whole wheat cracker, eaten in that manner. In the beginning, though, take this (the Calcios) twice a day for two or three days; then leave off entirely for three days; then begin again and take it for six to ten days, then leave off three days; then begin again, and so on.
13. Keep the rest of the care - and we will find we will aid in eradicating the conditions produced in relationships to both the upper and lower hepatic circulation, as well as purifying the lungs.
14. Of course, be mindful of night air, rain or heavy drafts; but these are a part of the precautions in the environs and surroundings at present.
15. Do these, if we would bring the better conditions for this body, [2321]. Ready for questions.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [2321] " " Ass'n file (See illustrated drawing [which was enclosed] of charred keg for inhaling the fumes from Apple Brandy. CALCIOS and ACIGEST are both manufactured and distributed by The Colloidal Health Products Corp., Atten. A. A. Nichoson, Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. The Calcios is a syrupy paste that sells for $3.50 a jar, and according to the Readings,

it is the best way of assimilating free calcium. Acigest is a liquid that sells for $1.00 a bottle, and according to the Readings is the best way of furnishing hydrochloric acid - when taken in raw milk.) )
