Time of Reading 10:35 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
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 here, [3287].
3. As we find, while in many respects the physical forces are very good, there are disturbances that need correction in the present. For, gradually, with the disturbances, the resistances are being broken down; and may later affect other portions of the body.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body:
5. The blood supply indicates that there has been and still is a form of strep. Not sufficient to produce too great a strain, nor such a great strain as to break down the body, but where there has been infection it continues to produce sufficient disturbances as to cause the body not only to give way to the injuries but to gradually cause the structural portions in the pelvic area to become out of balance.
6. This produces a strain on the whole body. This, combined with the infection and the continued disturbance at the knee, will give way to greater disorders later - unless corrections are made.
7. These, to be sure, act upon the nerve forces of the body. Oft there is produced irritation and aggravation through the whole mental as well as physical forces of the body. Also, through the giving way to the unbalanced condition, these are causing aggravations to the nerve forces that make for a better balance between the impulses of the body and the general physical forces. And these prevent the body, then, from keeping the better influences about its own activities.

8. In meeting the needs of these, not only is it necessary to consider the organs that are being involved - as in the pelvic area and the heart - but the general nervous system, as well as the blood stream itself.
9. Then, in removing the disturbances or in making corrections - first there should be the purifying of the blood stream. This we would do by giving those properties that would clarify the glandular system.
10. Begin taking Atomidine internally, one drop in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for five days. Then leave off five days. Then take again five days.
11. THEN begin taking (not before) the Saffron Tea, a cupful each day - or at least two ounces. Put a pinch of the American Saffron in a teacup and pour boiling water over it - allow to stand for twenty to thirty minutes - strain and drink. A pinch between the thumb and forefinger, in the cup of boiling water. Drink two ounces of this, once each day.
12. Also at the same time begin taking mullein tea, prepared in the same manner - one dram to a cup of boiling water, allowed to steep - drinking only an ounce of this, once each day.
13. Once each week we would apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs about the knee.
14. Once a week (at different periods, of course, but have a regular time to do it each week) apply Mullein Stupes on the knee. Use the green Mullein if possible, though it will be rather seared at this period of the year. Use as broad or large leaves as possible, allowing them to remain in boiling water a few minutes to wilt them thoroughly, and apply in layers about the knee.
15. Each of these Packs would be left on for one hour.
16. The Glyco-Thymoline is alkaline, while the Mullein is tending more toward acid - but these are acids and poisons in the knee that cause the stiffness, where the oil has been taken from the system, see?
17. Following the packs each time - which would be twice a week, you see, but at opposite periods of the week - massage the knee with a combination of oils in these proportions: Olive Oil.................2 ounces, Peanut Oil................2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied).......1 teaspoonful.
18. When beginning with the second round of the Atomidine, - begin with osteopathic adjustments and corrections in the pelvic areas, and to correct these disturbances in the unbalancing of the body. This would require at least six of such adjustments, properly made. We would have one like

Irvin to give these.
19. Keep up, then, the Saffron and the Stupes and the Packs, also the Mullein Tea, and we should correct these conditions for this body.
20. Keep good eliminations, even though it may be necessary at times to take colonics. Do take colonics rather than too much of cathartics. But the use of the Saffron as well as the Mullein should correct the eliminations.
21. In the diet - keep away from too much starches. Have plenty of sea foods, fowl; little or no hog meat or beef - for this body. Use plenty of vegetables that are grown above and below the ground, but in the proportion of two above to one below the ground.
22. Ready for questions.
23. (Q) Will this treatment get rid of the arthritic condition? (A) This is neuritic, NOT arthritic in this body - and it's a blessed thing it is! but taking these properties indicated will purify the body.
24. (Q) Will the stiffness of the knee be overcome, so that it will be moveable? (A) It should - it WILL, if the massages are given properly! Give the oil massage each time after the Glyco-Thymoline Packs, you see, as well as following the Mullein Stupes.
