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, she prays. We have the body and those disturbing conditions here, [5280]. As we find, there are real disturbing conditions here. These have been long standing.

3. These arise from conditions which existed in some time back, beginning with the effects of flu settling in the abdominal area and organs. With the administrations given through those periods causing a plethora through colon first, and then with the manner of treatments there has been produced a plastic (spastic?) colitis, so that the inflammation in the areas sometimes causes a great deal of distress through constipation, that leaves sediments in the system and these find pressures on the nerves through the body, causing a great deal of pain.

4. Though not in the form as from the uric acid, or rheumatic, these have caused sometimes fever that has produced disorders in all of the lymph centers and emunctories and throughout the alimentary canal.

5. There is nothing to indicate that these are as yet of a consuming or of a malignant nature, yet the stools would indicate at times, because of the inflammation, that there is bleeding, or such, in the internal activity of the organs.

6. As we would find, first there would be the application of crushed grapes over the abdomen. Preferably these would be the Concord variety. None are available at present except the preserved or California grapes. Hence the next best would be those of the purple variety. Crush them, place on gauze and apply on the abdomen. Let remain, then, until apparently these have almost dried on the body. This would

require an hour and a half to three hours.

7. These then should be removed, and massage the whole area with Camphorated Oil. Rub this, though, not by too heavy a kneading, into the whole abdominal area.

8. Do have colon irrigations, scientifically given, and not too much as to cause too great dilation of the intestinal tract or colon area.

9. Then we would prepare a fusion or essence of Wild Ginseng, one ounce of same, also the Essence of Wild Ginger, one-half ounce. Then add to the solution sufficient of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin to make six ounces. Shake this together and take a teaspoonful twice a day, or about nine o'clock of morning and three o'clock in the afternoon.

10. When this has been taken for five days, begin with a gentle massage neuropathically, or a Swedish massage; this particularly along the area of the spine from the brachial center to the end of the spine; massaging again the abdominal area with the Camphorated Oil.

11. In the matter of the diets, while not too great quantities of raw foods, particularly celery, lettuce should be taken; grated, but preserve the juices of same and prepare oft with gelatine.

12. And thus we will bring bettered conditions for this body.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) What can be done for the eyes? (A) Do this as suggested for the general health. Take head and neck exercise for the eyes.

15. (Q) What doctor would you advise to apply these treatments? (A) Most of this may be applied at home, if it is desired so. Don't need a doctor. Few people do.

16. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing (See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to be sent to Mr. T. R. Wirsing, ..., Va., who can prepare the compound for you. Head and neck exercise: Sitting or standing erect, bend head forward, slowly, three times; then backward three times; to the left side three times; to the right side three times; then circle to the right three times, to the left three times.
