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 conditions here respecting [2945].
3. As we find, if there would have been much accomplished, this should have been done some time ago. Conditions are rather serious; and there are such accumulations through the system that draw on the vitality until there are other complications - in the loss of vitality, in the speed with which there is the necessity of the circulation - through the temperature produced by the system's attempting to create resistances.
4. Unless there is quick response, this must grow more serious.
5. While those administrations of X-Ray have in many ways retarded, these as we find have not produce curative effects. They have allayed.
6. With the X-Ray treatments farther apart, we would use every other day the Ultra-Violet with the projection of the green glass between the ultra-violet and the body; and more reaction may be had in the character of the hormones produced in the blood supply.
7. This should be given for at least a minute and a half to two minutes, but with the green glass projected about twelve to fourteen inches from the body, between the ultra-violet and the body itself.
8. The X-Ray treatments would be farther apart, you see, while the ultra-violet would be given - or may be given - every other day.

9. Also if there could be administered the tea from Plantain, this would supply an element in the body-forces that will be beneficial to the body. As to whether this may be obtained sufficiently quick may be a question. Preferably the Plantain should be green. It may be obtained from the Asheville, North Carolina crude drug company. [S. B. Penick & Co., crude drug house, Asheville, N.C.] This added with the others, will be beneficial - if it can be obtained quick enough.
10. Obtain the green Plantain; the tenderer the leaves the better, of course. Pour two ounces of boiling water over about two drams of the Plantain and let it set for some ten minutes. Strain, drain off, and fit - by cooling - to be palatable. This amount may be taken at one time, and every day.
11. It would be better if this Plantain Tea is in the system when the ultra-violet is given.
12. For the bed sores, and the broken tissue, the application of Ichthyol Ointment will be the more beneficial to the body, if there are the opportunities from the other applications for this to prove of a beneficial effect to the body.
13. The causes of these, or the sources, are the conditions created by unbalancing of the chemical forces of the body. The accumulations of the lymph pockets that produce the tumors which consistently arise in bursa even in the muscular forces, as well as in the tissues in the body, are from the attempts of the system to build unresistances; but these are gradually becoming more of the consuming nature in their effect upon the body.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What is causing this paralysis? (A) It is the pressure of the bursa, or upon the bursa of the locomotory centers.
16. (Q) If these treatments are followed, how long should it take to see results? (A) As indicated, unless these are done soon there will be no need for them.
17. (Q) Is there any special doctor in Chicago who would be interested? (A) We haven't the doctors in Chicago. All should be interested in this special case, because of its unusualness.
18. (Q) Can anything be done to make me more comfortable? (A) Only sedatives or narcotics will make the body more comfortable.
19. (Q) Would it be possible to stop the tumors from coming back? (A) This would depend upon the response, but these are the purposes of that being indicated here.

20. (Q) Has the past deep therapy X-Ray treatment had any harmful effects on me? (A) As indicated, it has allayed. It has NOT been curative.
21. (Q) Is the numbness concentrated in the hips and rectal region an indication of anything wrong there? (A) Only the accumulations of the tumors in the soft tissues through the areas, and these are becoming more harmful in their effect upon the body.
22. (Q) Is there anything else besides the Plantain and the Ultra-Violet that might be suggested? (A) As indicated, these are to be ADDED to those administrations being given. Do these things that have been indicated, and they offer the greater hope for beneficial effects to the body. But these are very serious conditions, and growing weaker from the insistence of the system attempting to create blood supply and producing complications in the deeper circulation.
