Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Georgia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2975].
2. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These have in some measures been long standing, and have gradually undermined the vital forces.
3. And then with the lack of proper eliminations (for these tendencies also have been a part of the general trouble), there are such toxic conditions as to become a hindrance in not only the activities of the body but as to produce a great deal of distress at times.
4. As we find, it is not of an arthritic nature, but more of a neuritic - not neurotic; though it does cause at the present some distressing conditions in the muscular and nerve forces that give a great deal of pain.
5. We find that these conditions alter the regulation of the pulsation. They also disturb the activity of the liver and kidneys.
6. And the attempts of the kidneys to do some of the work that should be done in other eliminating channels cause these to give some distress.
7. Thus we have the effect of uric acid, or a rheumatic reaction in the body.
8. These as we find, combined with the disturbances which have existed in the mucous membranes of face, head and throat, are the sources of the disturbance in or with this body at present.
9. To bring about bettered conditions, we should have - for the first portion of the applications, at least - about six to ten hydrotherapy treatments with massage, and this should include at least, during that period, three colonic irrigations. And this should be among the first things given the body - a good, systematically given, colonic irrigation.
10. Then a mild cabinet sweat, then a thorough rubdown;
2975-1 Page 2
using an equal combination of Pine Oil and Peanut Oil for massaging, and this as we find will materially relieve the present distresses.
11. We would give these about twice each week (that is, the general hydrotherapy treatments, not the colonics) for the first four or five. The first two colonics should be within ten days of each other, but these should be carefully administered.
12. As an inhalant to cleanse throat and bronchi of those disturbances that contribute to the upsetting of the liver and the digestive forces, which have caused the tendency for toxic forces from lack of proper eliminations, we would prepare this combination of ingredients.
13. To 4 ounces of grain alcohol (at least 90% proof) add, in the order named: Oil of Eucalyptus...............20 drops, Rectified Oil of Turp............5 drops, Tincture of Benzoin.............15 minims, Rectified Creosote...............3 minims.
14. Put this solution in a large-mouth bottle, so that two vents in the cork may be put into same; these not to extend into the solution, but prepared so they may be corked themselves.
15. Use this night and morning, and then if there is a tendency for the cough in the evening or through the night, use same. Shake the solution well, then remove both of the small corks from the vents, inhale into the mouth and throat. Do not swallow, but inhale so that the fumes go into the bronchi and lungs - only the fumes, not the spray from same. When not in use keep tightly corked.
16. Do this at least twice a day, regularly, and when there is an irritation in throat do the same.
17. After there have been taken at least ten of the hydrotherapy treatments AND the massage, then begin taking (not before) the Purity Cross Vitamin tablets, but take them only three times each week - and take when ready to retire; one tablet three times each week.
18. We would also be mindful of the diet. Do not overcrowd the system with starches, but have plenty of raw vegetables, some each day; celery, lettuce, carrots and greens of any kind. This may include tomatoes if so desired.
19. Do not take too much sweets.
20. But we will soon find much improvement for this body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) What should be done for constipation? (A) As indicated, the massage - and especially the colonics
2975-1 Page 3
should relieve this. Then the diet. If there will be used fruits and vegetables more than starches, we will find this will change as these things are corrected in the system.
23. We are through with this Reading. Two copies to Husband (one for son, to be turned over to a good physiotherapist who will follow these suggestions; such as Dr. H. J. Reilly, R.C.A.
