1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find there are those conditions that may be assisted. There are others [the epilepsy?] that are of such nature that the effects will remain and be to this body the normal conditions, though abnormal to others.
3. In that that may be corrected lies that condition that is to prevent the inroads of those conditions that are of the nature that produce the sapping of the vitality through the pulmonaries [emphysema?], and that condition wherein nerves are being so relaxed by the giving away of the portions in system that cause stability in the whole system. These, assisted, will bring better conditions for the physical forces of the body.
4. To meet the needs, then, of these conditions at the present time, we would first prepare three (3) capsules, with this in each:
Eucalyptol.................1 minim, Canadian Balsam..........1/2 minim, Rectified Oil of Turp......1 minim, Benzosol*..................1 minim, Heroin..................1/60 grain.
This should be taken one every other day.
* [9/63 GD's note: Meredith Druggist tells me this is called Guiacol Benzoate.]
5. Massage the whole of the cerebrospinal system with equal parts of pure Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh. Heat the oil, then add the myrrh. Only prepare sufficient for one treatment at a time, which would be three (3) tablespoonsful. Massage thoroughly in the spine each evening at the time for retiring.

6. Let the diet be those of as much of those pre-digested foods and liquids as the body well assimilates - that is, we find the conditions are such that there are times the body assimilates better than at others. Do not overload the system so as to cause retractions through the inability of eliminations in the digestive system, see?
7. After two (2) quantities - that is, six (6) capsules - have been taken, and the massage has been made each day during this period, then we would give the changes necessary, and as will be helpful for those other conditions [epilepsy?] as are produced by the inability of nerve centers to coordinate between the nerve system, the brain forces, and the laxness throughout the functioning organs.
8. We are through for the present.
