Time of Reading 3:20 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Alabama.
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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2866].
3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the nearer normal physical functioning.
4. While the conditions in the present are quite different from that which as we find produced same, these are at present very disturbing - especially to the abilities of the body in locomotion, and the excruciating pain there is to the body at times.
5. We find that the beginning of these was neuralgia through the organs of the pelvis. And the applications that were made, in the heat and the purifying, brought about a condition where there are those tendencies of infection - or more the lack of coordination in the activities of the glands as related to kidney's activities.
6. These, tend to produce, then, from the congealing of the forces of the lymph circulation through same, pressures in the body; at times assuming inflammatory conditions, and causing arthritic and neuritic effects, and at times - from the amount of the uric poisoning - a rheumatic reaction.
7. We find that these may be materially aided. While it will require some patience, a great deal of persistence on the part of the body, if these applications are made there may be brought relief - and without the administration of too much of a sedative, if practical. These may require some changes later, but these we would begin:
8. First, we would take internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken, for two days. Then take two drops for two days. Then take three drops for two days. Then take four drops for two days. Then take five drops for two days.

9. Then on the next day have a good Epsom Salts Bath. Put about twenty pounds of Epsom Salts in fifty gallons of water, and lie in same; during the time the body is in the bath having the hands, the limbs, the arms, and portions of the spine massaged; especially along the area from the 9th dorsal downward. Have the water as warm as the body can well stand. And from time to time, to keep the body warm, add hot water. Remain in same, with the massage, for the greater part of at least thirty-five.to forty minutes. Be mindful that there is sufficient of water taken, even during the time of the bath, that it does not overtax the body too much.
10. When taken out of the bath, sponge off and rub thoroughly with a combination of oils along the spine, especially over the sacral and the lower dorsal area, the limbs and the rest of the body, but more in this particular area, with this body. Put these oils together, in this manner; adding each in the order named: Peanut Oil.................6 ounces, Oil of Pine Needles......1/2 ounce, Oil of Sassafras Root....1/2 ounce. Shake together, though they'll tend to separate a bit, and pour some into a saucer so that the fingers may be dipped in same. Massage the body with this compound.
11. Then rest from this about three days.
12. Begin then, again, with one minim of Atomidine each morning for THREE days, two minims for THREE days, and so on, increasing the dosage after each three-day period until there are EIGHT drops being taken for three days. See?
13. Then have the second Epsom Salts Bath, in the same manner as indicated for the first, with the oil rub following same.
14. Then rest for three days, and have the third round of the Atomidine; not increasing the dosage at this period - but taking it in the same manner as indicated for the last series, see? followed by the Epsom Bath.
15. After THAT the body should gradually begin to feel better, though some disturbance will arise following the second series of treatments. After the third series of all the applications, the body should be MUCH improved.
16. THEN we would give further instructions.
17. In the diet, keep the foods that are easily assimilated.
18. Do have the eliminations well. There should be at least one good elimination through the alimentary canal each day, though it requires laxatives to be taken - or even the
2866-1 Page 3
colonic irrigations, do have these.
19. Take beef juice as strengthening, but take only small quantities at a time and let it be absorbed, rather than taking the spoonful at once and swallowing it to be assimilated only in the stomach.
20. These as we find will bring bettered conditions for this body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Is there pus anywhere in my body causing this condition? (A) As indicated, this arises from the congestions about the glands in the body. Hence the necessity of purifying and breaking up these congestions through the Baths and the massages at the time of Bath as well as following same, with properties indicated.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (GD's note: Atomidine is manufactured by The Atomidine Co., 9 South 8th Ave., Mt. Vernon, N.Y., and sells for $1 a bottle; though you may be able to obtain it from your local druggist, as it is well distributed in some parts of the country. See directions [which was enclosed] for preparing Pure Beef Juice. When you have followed all these applications for the three complete rounds, let us know so we may make an appointment for a Check Physical Reading to give further instructions.)
