Marshall Time of Reading Sanitarium, 10:30 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Linden Avenue, Troy, New York.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are improvements in the general physical forces of the body; though, to be sure, the body is far from being in that position of full recuperative activities in the system.
4. In the present, we would not give the stupes too often, but keep them sufficiently - as yet - that there are the activities of the kidneys and bladder without mechanical means. These would then be left off one time, and then kept the next time, in the manner as suggested.
5. The beef juice we would give in the manner indicated, as medicine, often; a little at the time, but not just gulped. For, when there is the realization that this is not the medicated but nature's sources, it will be taken by the body.
6. To the diet we would add one Jerusalem artichoke each day - this taken wit the meal, you see; one about the size of a guinea egg. One day let it be cooked - boiled as a potato. The next day let it be cut up and eaten raw. This will be better assimilated insulin for the system than the shots; though it will be necessary for one or two or three more periods of giving shots, you see.
7. Each evening, for twenty to thirty minutes, give a spinal rub. This would be given - by the nurse - when the body is prepared for sleeping, or for bed. Rub with pure Peanut Oil, in a circular motion, down either side of the spine. This will not only aid in the absorption of this to create a better superficial circulation, but will aid in making better coordinations between the reflexes of the sympathetic system AND the cerebrospinal system.

8. The rest we would keep in the general manner as is being done.
9. We should find the body returning to normalcy, if this treatment is CONSISTENTLY administered for ten days to two weeks.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What is meant by uremic poisoning? (A) The necessity of the catheterizing allowed the urine to so act upon bladder, urethra and kidneys as to form poisoning in the system from the urine itself, see? For, the very nature of same is as the purging of the system of poisons, which are BASICALLY uremic or urine poisoning, see? and this is the activity of the kidneys. Thus with this becoming stale, or old, or with the lack of the ability to act through the system, it caused same. This produces, or has produced, pressures upon the nerve system. Hence, as just indicated, the massage downward along the spinal centers with the Peanut Oil to aid in stimulating a circulation to relieve these pressures from centers, will alleviate the disturbance between rationalism and normalism in the physical reaction.
12. (Q) Is the Marshall Sanitarium a good place in which to care for him? (A) For the present. As we find, in ten days or two weeks the body will be able to be removed home, or wherever desired; but keep one nurse with him for a time afterward, at least.
13. (Q) Explain condition in 9th dorsal area? (A) That is where the block has been, for those activities between liver and kidneys especially, that has caused much of the disturbance.
14. (Q) Is there still danger of hemorrhage or convulsions? (A) As long as the poisons are being eliminated from the system, and the system is reacting to same, this is becoming lessened all the time; but if there is the accumulation, or the reactions as to block the system, this might become possible. Hence one of the reasons for the assimilating of insulin from foods rather than from the injections; for one bcomes a shock to the nervous system, the other assimilated becomes a stimulation to same as to remove tensions - WITH massage AND the OIL.
15. (Q) Will it take a long time before his mental balance is restored? (A) As just indicated. Do the things outlined.
16. We are through with this Reading.

Copy to Miss [813] - Air Mail " " Ass'n file (GD's note: See detailed instructions [which were enclosed] for preparing Beef Juice. I intended to include this last time, but on account of the rush left it out. The Jerusalem Artichoke should be on the market now. If not, it can be obtained from the John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin. As you perhaps know, it is the artichoke that looks something like an Irish potato, but grows like a carrot or parsnip.) )
