Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ky.
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, [2392].
3. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances; and these have been rather a series of changes that have occurred, that have brought about the present disturbing conditions.
4. These have to do with the eliminating system and the effects - with those administrations and complications - that have been produced upon the glandular system.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2392] we are speaking of:
6. In the blood supply we find the indication of the character of disturbances in eliminations, and how there began the first unbalancing in which there was the losing of weight and a general nervous disturbance; also the lack of elements to create or to bring the proper coagulation in the blood flow - that is, as related to energies used and the nerves being sore, and a form of rheumatic reaction.
7. The administration of injections, and then the unbalanced condition produced by the lack of the proper assimilation of the diets, brought on rather a complication in the glandular forces of the body.
8. Thus we have a neuritic, with an arthritic tendency in the present.
9. As it is affecting the extremities, the locomotion, the activities of the body in its nature, it requires that the body remain quiet as much as practical, until at least two-thirds of these administrations are made that we will suggest. Then there may be begun those violent rubs and massage activities that may bring about not only the relief of the excruciating pains at times in the attempts of locomotion, but in the tendencies for the muscular forces to

contract at times.
10. Begin first, then, in this manner:
11. Take one minim (drop) of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken. Each day increase the dosage two minim; that is:
12. The first day one minim; the second day three minims; third day five minims; fourth day seven minims; fifth day nine minims.
13. Then leave off (after the nine minims) and take an Epsom Salts Bath - either that same evening or the next evening. Have an almost saturated solution; at least twenty pounds of Epsom Salts to forty gallons of water, as hot as the body can stand same. Take at least thirty to forty minutes to give such a bath.
14. Then have a through rinsing and rubdown with Peanut Oil, when the body comes from the bath.
15. Then rest; and the next two days do not take the Atomidine; but on the third day afterward, begin with same again; taking one minim the first day, and increasing the dosage ONE minim each day until five minims are being taken, see?
16. Then have another Epsom Salts Bath, followed with the Peanut Oil Rub the same as before.
17. After this, then begin taking Chloride of Gold and Soda, prepared in two separate solutions and only added when the dosage is to be taken.
18. The Chloride of Gold Solution would be in the proportions of one grain to one ounce of Distilled Water.
19. The Soda Solution would be two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of Distilled water.
20. Keep these separate, until ready to take. Then take one minim of the Chloride of Gold Solution and two minims of the Bromide of Soda solution stirred together in half a glass of water. Each day increase the dosage in this manner:
21. 1st day one minim of the Gold and 2 minims of the Soda Sol'n 2nd day two minims of the Gold and 4 minims of the Soda Sol'n 3rd day three minims of the Gold and 6 minims of the Soda Sol'n 4th day four minims of the Gold and 8 minims of the Soda Sol'n 5th day five minims of the Gold and 10 minims of the Soda Sol'n
22. After the fifth day, leave it off; and begin then with a thorough massage each morning and each evening with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. This is not to be in the form of other than a massage, that we may loosen the muscular forces, the tendons and the spinal system.
23. In the diets - keep away from any meats, especially hog meats. A little fish or fowl may be taken.
2392-1 Page 3
24. No fried foods. No white bread. No white potatoes.
25. Little of sweets, save honey in the honeycomb.
26. Vegetables and fruits, raw and cooked, should be the principal portion of the diet.
27. After the series of the last indicated massages for four or five days, if necessary take the Atomidine again AND the Epsom Salts Baths, in the same manner as first given.
28. Do these, if we would bring the better conditions for this body, [2392].
29. Ready for questions.
30. (Q) Will this treatment if carefully carried out give permanent cure? (A) This will depend upon the body's returning to those things that would bring back the reaction. Keeping off of hog meat and fats, and too much sweets, and these eliminated as indicated should be, we find that it should be a permanent cure.
31. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Air Mail " " Ass'n file (At your convenience please let us have a history of the case to the time of obtaining the reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information.) )
