1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that surround, and that produce the disorders as we find with, this body - Mrs. [4996].
2. In the physical forces we find there has been for some times back an accumulation in the drosses of the system, produced - as we find - principally from the water, or the character in some waters what have been taken by the system. These affect the glands of the system, especially those of the adrenal, and pituitary, in such a way and manner as to cause an improper separation in the cellular forces in system, until we have engorgements in the system, ESPECIALLY in the spleen itself; so that in the destruction of, or the taking or replenishing of the red blood cellular force, this has made for those disorders in the FUNCTIONING system, until MANY become (as in the RESPIRATORY system) as of ORGANIC disorders, AFFECTING - as is seen from the first causes - that of the lower hepatic circulation, or the kidneys, as well as the organs of pelvis, reacting through same to those of the circulation through the lungs proper; the liver engorged from same.
3. In the general disorders, we find there are few elements that apparently digest properly, or that are properly assimilated - as may be seen from the divisions that are produced in the blood supply. These conditions are rather of an unusual nature.
4. In meeting the needs, or in the applications for conditions - as will be helpful for the body - we will find that first consideration will be necessary to change, as it were, the vibrations for the whole system - see? This we would accomplish best, as WE find, by the massaging in the cerebrospinal system - from the base of the spine to the upper portion of the cervical area - at least twice each week - those of Balsam of Sulphur. Use at each treatment with such at least two to two and half ounces - see? massaging this thoroughly into the cerebrospinal system, across the sacral especially.

5. Be sure that during this period (and this we would keep for at least three weeks) the system is kept well drained; that is, that the eliminations are kept going thoroughly - see? and CLEANSE the intestinal tract, especially the colon, with those of the high irrigations, using in the waters for such (at least a gallon and a half) half a teaspoonful of common salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda - see? Also after such irrigations use a small quantity to the half gallon (a tablespoonful) of Glyco-Thymoline as the last injection - see?
6. As for diet during the period - this we would follow much in THIS manner:
7. Mornings - fruits and cereals, these may be combined, those that are of easy digestion - see?
8. Noon - dried milk, malted milk - with the egg - also those of the arrowroot and junket, and such, that the system may change its vibratory forces.
9. Evenings - meat juices, but not the meats themselves. As much of the tomato juices as will be assimilated following same, with those of the codliver oil or olive oil - see?
10. These forces for the vibrations of system would be applied each day. Twice each week - Tuesdays and Thursdays - apply the massage of the Balsam of Sulphur.
11. Then, at the end of three weeks we would change those vibrations, for we will find it necessary for ELECTRICAL forces to change these vibrations in the glands.
12. The water that will be taken in the interim, or during this first treatment - let each carry either small quantities of elm (ground) - this made fresh as it is taken - a pinch between finger and thumb for each glass, preferably kept cool but not with ice in same - see? or a small quantity of Yellow Saffron - this may be made one to twenty, or steam or steep as for tea - see? and taken, not too strong - but to change the vibrations for the whole system. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) How often should colonics be given? (A) At least every THIRD day, until the system is cleansed in this direction - then they may be made farther apart.
14. (Q) Does climate have any effect on her condition? (A) More in the waters than in the climatic conditions. These, of course, make for those depressions - as for the asthmatic forces, or those repressions in the RESPIRATORY system - but this is not ORDINARY asthmatic force - see?
15. (Q) Where would be best place for her to live to alleviate her suffering? (A) Begin this and after three weeks we will change - see?
16. (Q) Will this treatment be for only a temporary relief
4996-1 Page 3
or permanent? (A) We are changing for permanent conditions. Balsam of Sulphur is made, of course, with the boiling of sulphur in linseed oil - it must be boiled in water - see?
17. (Q) In what proportion? (A) Make same so that it is not ENTIRELY dry, but not entirely WET - see? enough to stir same well together - see? Then cook together - We are through for the present.
