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.
3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These are rather a complication of disturbances.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3043]:
5. From the effects of a deep cold, combined with some intestinal disorder, there has been produced inflammation that has upset the coordination between the lymph circulation and the central circulation, also the nerve impulses.
6. So, we find a great deal of trouble through the intestinal tract; forming gas in the lower portion of the duodenum after almost each meal, a great deal of discomfort, and the reflexing of these to the circulation between the heart, liver and lungs.
7. At other periods through the lower portion of the abdomen, and through the liver area, there are tendencies for contractions.
8. These, we find, are the sources - and the disturbances with this body.
9. In the blood supply irritations are produced at times, oft, to the superficial circulation - areas on various portions of the body, extremities as well as the torso itself, becoming irritated; while we find an irregularity to the circulation or to the pulsation itself. There is a great deal of disturbance in the soft tissue of face, head, neck. Also this disturbance between the lymph and the impulses as supplied by nerve forces of the circulation of the blood force in varied areas through the body.

Especially over the abdomen these produce cold areas, even to the touch; showing the irregularity of the circulation.
10. As we find, all of these disorders, and the effects that have been produced in the functionings of the varied systems of activity in the body, should be taken into consideration in making applications that would prove the more beneficial for this body.
11. First, we would take internally a preparation made in this manner:
12. To 2 ounces of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin as the base, we would add: A fusion of Wild Ginseng...................1 ounce, A fusion of Wild Ginger..................1/4 ounce. Take a teaspoonful of this each evening when ready to retire.
13. Also, when this is begun, begin having at least once a week a mild fume bath or sweat, using in the fumes Witchhazel.
14. Follow this with an ultra-violet light treatment, preferably with the projection of the green glass between same and the body. Stay under the light some ten to fifteen minutes, five minutes on the front side and five on the back, or such a matter.
15. After the light treatment, have a thorough rubdown, preferably with Peanut Oil.
16. Keep these in their regular order, being mindful of the diet.
17. Occasionally, when the hydrotherapy treatment is given, - say once in twenty days, unless it is necessary oftener, - have a colonic irrigation. Do use soda and salt in the first waters, in the proportions of a teaspoonful heaping full of salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to each gallon of water. In the last or rinse water injected, use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the gallon of water, as an intestinal antiseptic. These will prevent irritation, and these should rid the system of these disturbances.
18. When there is acute pain through the abdomen, apply a Castor Oil Pack. Use some three thicknesses of flannel, preferably old rather than new flannel, well saturated with the Castor Oil, and apply directly to the skin. This preferably as we find, in this case, would be applied over the right side, extending from close under the ribs to almost the caecum area. Then we would apply to this the electric pad, even though the Pack should be put on hot. Let this remain on an hour.

19. DO NOT take any carbonated drinks of any kind. Carbonated waters are not good.
20. DO use a good deal of sea food, a great deal of leafy vegetables, and the character of foods that are body and blood building; as celery, lettuce, radish, carrots, beets, beet tops, water cress - all of these should be taken quite often; not every day, to become tiresome for the body, but these will be found to be most helpful.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) What causes the migraine headaches? (A) This is from the stomach. As we find, these applications should get rid of a great deal of this disturbance.
23. We are through with this Reading. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. H. J. Reilly, RCA Bldg., Sixth Ave., N.Y.C., who can follow the directions for the Fume Baths, etc.) " " Ass'n file (See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs.)
