Time of Reading 11:25 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Wisconsin.
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 - behold he prayeth.
3. We have the body here, [3275].
4. As we find, there are disturbing conditions that are preventing the better physical forces in this body and that are causing a gradual dissolution or atrophy of nerves and muscles of the lower limbs.
5. We find that these may be materially aided, if there is kept first the correct attitude. For, as these conditions are partially karmic, with the correct attitude, in grace much may be accomplished.
6. Do not promise self nor Maker more than ye fulfill, but as ye measure out, so may it be measured to you.
7. Here we find there is a condition, in regard to the manner in which the liver has acted and is acting, that causes the lack of ability of the glands to reproduce the plastic forces in the nerve and muscular tendons in the lower extremities. Not completely as yet, but these have gradually grown, and will continue - until there are those measures taken, first to check conditions and then to rejuvenate and rebuild those portions of the body forces themselves.
8. Circulation will then be reestablished, nerve flow and energies from all the centers through which the associations and connections between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerves receive their impulses, must be rejuvenated, revivified.
9. This, then, will require long, patient and persistent application. But, after a period of three to four months at the earliest, we should begin to see the staying and then the building up of better forces for the body - if first the
3275-1 Page 2
correct attitude is kept and then the consistent application of those things necessary.
10. For, we will find, there will be changes gradually brought about, also as these responses are made, there must be changes in the applications for the betterment of the body.
11. First, then, in the beginning of the applications:
12. Use the Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area for one hour each day for three days in succession each week. On the evening of the third day each week, following the third Pack, take internally a tablespoonful of Olive Oil. Keep this up consistently for a period of at least three to four months. Use the Packs the same three days each week. Use at least three thicknesses of flannel (old flannel preferably) soaked in Castor Oil. Apply to the body over the liver and extend to the caecum area, then put an electric pad over same to keep warm for one hour.
13. Once each week - not on a day when the Packs are applied - also massage the body, especially from the 9th dorsal downward along the spine, and then along the limbs (after these areas have been thoroughly relaxed by the application of hot cloths) with this combination of oils: Nujol or Usoline, as the base...........6 ounces, Olive Oil...........................1 1/2 ounces, Oil of Pine Needles.....................1 ounce, Oil of Sassafras Root.................1/2 ounce, Oil of Peanuts..........................2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied)...................1/2 ounce. These will tend to separate, but when ready to use, shake together, pour in a saucer, dip the fingers in same and apply to the body. The relaxing would be done by using towels wrung out of hot water, applied over the spine and around the limbs for ten to fifteen minutes, just before the massage is to be given. Let the massage be not too deep, but to stimulate the circulation.
14. After the complete series of the Castor Oil Packs (that is, three to four months) and the weekly massage as indicated - we would then begin with the use of the Wet Cell Appliance. This should be made regular strength, that is: Copper Sulphate.................... 1 1/2 pounds, Sulfuric Acid C.P.......................1 ounce, Zinc....................................3 drams. DO NOT USE CHARCOAL IN THIS SPECIAL SOLUTION.

This Appliance would carry to the body vibratorially one day Chloride of Gold (in the proportions of 1 grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of distilled water), the next day Spirits of Camphor (commercial strength).
15. Each day the Appliance would be attached for thirty minutes.
16. When using the Gold Solution, the larger plate - that passes through the Solution - would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct center, which - on this body - will be four fingers from the navel to the right and three fingers up from that point. The copper plate would be attached to the lower portion of the 9th dorsal center, or between the 9th and the 10th.
17. The next day, when using the Camphor Solution, the larger plate would be attached the same way - to the umbilical and lacteal duct center, but the smaller plate would be attached to the lumbar axis, or the lower portion of the 4th lumbar.
18. Have different connections for these solutions. Change each Solution after it has been used fifteen times. Change the charging solution for the battery every thirty days.
19. Keep up the massages when the Appliance is begun.
20. Do these, and in six to eight months we will give further instructions.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Is my trouble traumatic or pathological in origin? (A) Pathological and karmic.
23. (Q) What can be done for the spastic sphincter on my bladder? (A) The massages should aid this.
24. (Q) Osteopaths tell me I have a hyper-mobile sacroiliac. Can that be made flexible by wearing a belt? (A) The type of massages indicated should aid this condition. When the body is very active it would be well to wear the belt.
25. (Q) What should be done for pain in sacroiliac joints? (A) This will begin to be much better, especially after the beginning of the low electrical forces.
26. (Q) What causes this pain? (A) Pressure. Do these things and then in eight months we will give further instructions. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing

(10/10/43 GD's notes: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs. See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of the Wet Cell Appliance, also sheet of directions to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., who will make up this Appliance according to specifications in your case. When you have gotten started with your treatments, let us know the approximate date at which you will finish the eight months series, so that we may make an appointment for a Check Physical reading to give further instructions.
