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, [2980].
3. As we find, the conditions here - while not in the immediate serious - are the greater effects from the gradual deterioration which comes from not that as might be called senility, nor merely old age, but from the central nervous system and the central blood supply not coordinating with the superficial or sympathetic nerve and blood supply.
4. Hence it may be said that ofttimes there are short circuits. Thus the heart, the liver, the lungs and the kidneys become involved with the overcharge of eliminations, or that to be eliminated, and the lack of the vitality being restored through the assimilating system.
5. Thus the languidness - at times; at others feeling very good.
6. As we find, the metabolism shows that the katabolism and the metabolism are somewhat at variance; that is, there is the quickening of the pulse at times, and then the slowing of same; especially through that circulation from lungs, heart and liver, and also the kidneys at times become rather in that state of not being controlled in their activity.
7. The effect upon the general nervous system is such that it is in a state of collapse, rather than in a state of being overexercised or overexerted or overtaxed.
8. Thus we find that a form of stimuli to set up better eliminations would be well.
9. It would be well for this body to use the Tyrrell's elevator as a means for cleansing the colon. This should be used with solutions that do not cause irritations through the colon. In the first water used for the filling of the elevator, and have it body-temperature, put a heaping teaspoonful of salt and a level teaspoonful of soda - but

dissolve these thoroughly in the water before it is put into the bag. Then in the last waters put a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline. This last water may be a little lower in temperature, but not cold - to be sure, rather tepid. But the first waters used should be body temperature.
10. The consistent use of this would be beneficial for this body.
11. Also each evening when ready to retire, we would use the violet ray (hand machine, bulb applicator), very lightly, for about a minute and a half, along the spine and especially across the lumbar and sacral, and on the shoulders and arms and neck - as a stimulation on these areas, and along the limbs.
12. This done, with the colonics, will tend to relieve tendencies towards sciatica, rheumatism and neuritis - which are the tendencies that naturally arise in this short circuiting of the nerve forces and energies, and the slowed circulation, and quickness of the pulse in some portions and the slowing in other parts of the body.
13. In the diet - keep those things that will aid in good eliminations for the body; such as more vegetables, some raw, but most well cooked; the leafy being preferable to those of the tubular or bulbular nature.
14. These as we find, if we will do, will make for better conditions for this body of [2980].
15. Do that.
16. Ready for questions.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Daughter " " Ass'n file
