In his church Time of Reading (Catholic) Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. near his home Taken 11:00 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. at ..., New York, N.Y.
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, [4020].
3. As we find there are those tendencies, which unless taken in time, will cause a growing disturbance. Here we find the effects of poor eliminations, with an infection that is weakening the locomotory nerves and muscular forces of the extremities. The areas of disturbance are the conditions existing in the lumbar-sacral and, at times, in the secondary cardiac or the upper dorsal centers.
4. We would begin immediately having hydrotherapy treatments once each week, including the short wave treatment - one time with the application in the upper dorsal and the next time to the lumbar-sacral area or over the lumbar axis.
5. These treatments should include occasionally, about every other week, a mild Fume Bath followed by a thorough massage with special reference to the locomotory centers.
6. Occasionally, when there is the fullness in the colon, do have a colonic irrigation.
7. Have the hydrotherapy treatments and massage in periods of three weeks straight running, then, a rest period from these for three weeks, and so on.
8. We would have these done at such a place as Reilly's.
9. In the diet be mindful that plenty of sea foods are taken, with fowl and lamb occasionally. These carry those elements that will supply chemicals needed in the body.
10. Do use a great deal of raw vegetables, prepared in varied manners.

11. Occasionally about twice a month, have the Jerusalem artichoke in the diet. This should be prepared in its own juices; that is, do not prepare it except in Patapar paper and the juices cooked from same should be mixed with the bulk of the artichoke that is to be eaten. Use one about the size of a hen egg, and season it to suit the taste. This carries sufficient insulin [inulin?] to correct the diabetic tendencies or the improper assimilation of sugars, so that these should be eliminated in the greater part from the diet (sugars). Then, no usage of candy, cakes, or things of that kind, though honey may be taken occasionally to supply the sweets, or the natural sweets of vegetables and fruits; such as figs and those things that cause better eliminations.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What is source of infection? (A) The lack of proper assimilation in the areas indicated, affecting the locomotory centers.
14. (Q) Is it due to a muscular condition or to a spinal injury in the past? (A) These conditions will be corrected in the manners indicated, through the massage and the treatments that should be given regularly each week.
15. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Self (one for Dr. H. J. Reilly, R.C.A. Bldg., 1250 6th Ave., N.Y.C.)
