1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions physical and mental as surround the body, as have to do with the physical functioning of the body, [2359].
2. Now, we find there are conditions that may be materially aided, as we find, as affect the physical force and physical functioning of the body. While there are pressures as have caused ruptures in the blood stream, these have been active only in such a nature - thus far - that they may be aided in being segregated, or through absorption and drainage prevent further inroads in their activity as DESTRUCTIVE forces for the locomotion, and particularly for their production as for INCOORDINATION between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve supply, or that pressure as hinders in the impulses through brain activities; also those conditions as make for the repressions and overactivity in the heart's action, and the pressures as are producing same are - as WE find - FUNCTIONAL, rather than organic in their nature. While the stimuli as has been and is used aids in keeping this in check, yet - as we find - these may be altered as to BETTER assist the circulation and heart's action, and respiration, were those SOURCES from which this FUNCTIONAL disorder emanates given more consideration, which - with the activity in the nerve reflexes - is seen from those of the cardiac plexus, especially as related to the crossing in the hypogastric and pneumogastric region. This, as we find in this PARTICULAR case, seen in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal and in the 4th, 5th AND 3rd cervical centers, especially as their radial activity have to do with the central circulatory and nerve system.
3. In the activities, then, as would bring about the better coordination and make for an easier and for a much nearer NORMAL reaction, as we would find, would be with the drainages set up in the respiratory system, the removing of the pressures through manipulations in the upper dorsal and
2359-1 Page 2
the cervical region, with the stimuli for heart's action changed to those which do not tend to engorge same, with a stimulation in the circulation and elimination with Gold Chloride and Bicarbonate of Sodas with same - these will make for a stimulation as will aid most. When this is IN-system, stimulate same also through the centers along the cerebrospinal system with the VIOLET ray, using the applicator or appliance as will be moved about the system - the regular or glass anode. Also following such, that that carries the vibrations to the central nerve system, but DO NOT increase the vibration to too high a tension. Not the ultra violet in the beginning, but the VIOLET. Let those of the properties of the Soda and Gold be in system - taken internally, through the mouth - for at least thirty minutes but not OVER that period, before the application of the electrical forces are given.
4. The manipulations will be as for stimuli to the drainage and to the circulation, especially as related to those centers as has been indicated.
5. As much of exercise in the open as is in keeping with the strength of the body, though we would not overtax same; as to those conditions as we will find that will be in the beginning of the changes or alterations, in the superficial activity of the capillary circulation, this will be a RESULT of these applications, not a cause from other sources - but these will be met by the usages of those of the sweats in the bath as carries the FUMES of iodine, that these may be allayed in their activity, and that taken in THROUGH the respiratory system, through the pores of the skin of this nature, will be healing and also addition to the lymph and the emunctories, preventing that tendency of quivering and giving more stability in the circulation.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Will his mental condition improve or be cured entirely? (A) This, as we find, will MATERIALLY improve. As to cure entirely, that will depend upon the RESPONSES in the system. The PRESSURES as exist in the present PREVENT the normal reaction between sympathetic and cerebrospinal impulses. Not dementia; not a softening, not even a distribution of disorders as of a malignant nature, or of a conservatory nature - yet these are as distortions of the sympathetics, attempting to coordinate in or under pressures.
8. (Q) If this treatment is followed, how long will it be before he will be cured? (A) The RESPONSES should show their BEGINNING in three to five weeks. As to be cured, that will depend upon the response of the system.

In the matter of diet during the whole of the treatments, this must of necessity be kept in as alkalin reactory force, so that - as the blood supply, through the impulse in the system, is aided - the replenishing will be to carry more of those of less acid in same. After the third WEEK, we will find that the ash - medicated ash - in the eighth grain doses - one each day - will be most helpful in releasing carbon and reducing gas. Not in the beginning, for the responses of too much oxygen released in the system would be too severe, until the heart's action is made nearer normal.
9. (Q) Will he be able to go back to business? (A) That depends upon the responses. Let's begin with this and THEN worry about that as we get farther along!
10. (Q) What was the cause of his condition? (A) The overtaxation of the system, physically and mentally - and the excess as caused eruptions in the blood cell itself.
11. (Q) Was it through the fault of any particular person that his illness was caused? (A) Most himself, but the response was from outside forces, to be sure. These through mental forces, however.
12. (Q) How often should the manipulation be given? (A) This will depend upon how the drainages set up in system. It will be found that for the heart's action it will be necessary to treat lightly and often, while for those of the conditions to the head and for the setting up of stimulation in the circulation, these will be deeper but NOT so often given; that is, in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical region. Of course, not neglecting those in the lower centers, where cerebrospinal and sympathetic coordinate for the locomotories - for we would not have that tendency as to where the slowed circulation causes too much swelling in the lower limbs.
13. (Q) What dosage of the Chloride Gold and Soda? (A) Prepare as this: The one grain of the Chloride of Gold to one ounce of distilled water. Five grains of Bicarbonate of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. When the dosage is given, give - in the beginning - one drop Chloride of Gold the first day - two drops of the Bicarbonate of Soda. Increase the dosage in the same proportion, one drop each day of the Gold, two of the Soda, until there is ten drops being given. Then rest one day. Then begin all over again, one drop - increasing each day. This given thirty minutes BEFORE the application of the VIOLET ray, see? This should be applied along those centers, especially, of course, from the solar plexus radial centers and those that work from
2359-1 Page 4
same, both to the front and back, for at least five increasing to fifteen minutes - a little bit more each day as the dose increases. Then, for at least five to fifteen minutes have that anode as held in hand - body lying prone. This for the internal, or the charging of the system, see?
14. (Q) How often should the sweats be given? (A) These, we will find, about once to three times each week. DO NOT raise the temperature of the box, or of the cabinet bath, HIGHER than ninety, allowing the fumes to be the active force in system, see? Be mindful, when such are given, as to the heart's reaction to same.
15. (Q) What treatment for the abdominal hernia? (A) This, as we will find, will come with the manipulations and the binding of same in the beginning. Later, as we increase the strength of the body, we will find that by placement and by bandaging, and by the masseuse of same with oils that are a combination of mineral and vegetable, this may be SO strengthened as to be reduced entirely.
16. (Q) Is the mental condition of body such that he recognizes relatives? (A) At times this is vague; at others VERY definite. Do as we have given. Then the changes, as they appear, may be aided.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Daughter " " Ass'n office " " Research Department Two copies to Dr. Lydic
