1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4320], Jr. Now, we find conditions rather serious with the physical forces of the body. There are abnormalities, or abnormal conditions, as we find, that have been produced from DEFINITE, or conditions that are in the physical forces so that the functioning of the organs of the COORDINATION of the system has been hindered.
2. These, as we find, are from strains in the structural portion, affecting directly the nerve impulses and centers that make for the wasting away, the inability of coordination in the cerebrospinal centers, and the inability of resuscitating forces in the supply in the system from those of assimilations towards any degree of normalcy. Hence the general debilitation that comes to the whole system from this cause.
3. In the lumbar and sacral do we find the PRINCIPAL cause, or centers. While those in the upper dorsal and cervical are secondary, they - in their reactions in the present - are the greater cause for those conditions in the physical functioning, especially through the lung and bronchial area. THESE are the conditions that in the PRESENT bring the greater distress, for these make for the inability of the blood supply to be so vitalized as to give any replenishing or resuscitation, and the gradual wasting way will be the result.
4. In meeting the needs in the present, rather drastic forces, as we find, will be necessary.
5. First we would begin with one-eighth grain of medicated or animated ash, and this given twice each day. At least twice each week we would give the ultra-violet ray over the small of back and over the hear and lung area, that the oxygen may be loosed in the system as to give more vitality

to the body.
6. We would also use those deep inhalations from the FUMES from brandy - apple brandy; not the brandy itself, but the brandy kept in a charred - or oak charred container, at least twice to three times the size of the quantity; that is, half a gallon in a gallon and a half container. This kept sufficiently close to heat that the evaporation will be rather fast. This kept sealed, but twice each day - especially mornings and evenings - inhale into the lungs the FUMES from same.
7. The diet will be those that will aid in the replenishing for the blood supply. Those of calves' liver, tripe, pig knuckle, milk, eggs - preferably goat's milk. Those that are easily assimilated or digested.
8. We will find it necessary to change as conditions progress, but this begun - we will find that in ten days to two weeks there should be decided change for the better. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) If medical men are not in sympathy with this diagnosis and the treatment recommended, can the family administer it properly? (A) The family can administer ALL of this properly, provided the light is obtained - because the body should NOT be moved too much for the use of the light, and the hand ultra-violet light may be used in the room - the rest may be given directly.
10. (Q) What was the superinducing cause of this illness? (A) That condition as has been outlined that existed, a strain in the small of the back and in the lower dorsal; this affecting or causing an impingement in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, sympathetically, cut off the supply of the blood forces to the lungs, throat and bronchia themselves.
11. (Q) If he responds to treatment recommended will he regain complete normalcy? (A) We will be able to tell this in ten days to two weeks, as has been given. Begin with the ash immediately, see - one-eighth grain twice each day, preferably nine and three in the day - see? Every third day, or twice each week, give the ultra-violet over the small of the back and over that area of the lungs - both front and back - the ultra-violet. THIS makes for the reaction of the oxygen in system.
12. (Q) How long a time should the light be used? (A) From three to five minutes; that is, with the hand ultra-violet - and this being at least twenty to twenty-two inches from body - the light itself.
13. (Q) What is the cause of his intermittent high fever? (A) The strain on the lung cells themselves, or the extra
4320-1 Page 3
amount of blood that is left in body passing so often through that portion of system makes for high temperature. Cells breaking, see? We can relieve this, will we add these, as we see at present. The ash, or the animated ash - this LOOSENS, of course taken in water.
14. (Q) What is the matter with his right nostril and what is the remedy? (A) Don't worry too much about this at present, for as the conditions clarify in the bronchia, in the lung, in the general debilitation - we will find that it will be able to throw off much. This produced from improper circulation through the soft tissue of the face itself. As the inhalations are taken into lungs, this will be found to be benefitted by the gases that form from pure apple brandy.
15. (Q) What is the condition of his pleura? (A) This shows for inflammation, naturally, from the quick pulsations. These are not INFLAMED, though there is inflammation through the region - see?
16. (Q) What causes disturbance of his intestinal tract? (A) When there has been dosed as much as these have in various forms, there would be a great deal of disturbance - especially when circulation is so needed for this portion of the body. These, as we find, will be clarified, as we make for easier assimilation, through the outline as we have given - see? Do that. Then in ten days to two weeks we would give conditions as to be met then.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Father " " File
