1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1287].

2. Now, as we find, the disturbances in this body may be relieved a very great deal, and with care and precaution be brought to much nearer normal reaction. However, the conditions that cause or produce the disturbances are of long standing. Thus it will require, as help or assistance comes, that still there be kept the precautions and the insistency in following close to those necessary activities for proper eliminations of poisons that have been accumulations for long periods. Not only through the alimentary canal (the poisons), that have produced by reinfection and by cold, exposure, a congestion in the muscular forces of the lower limbs, through the lower lumbar and the sacral area, but the blood stream itself - in the diet and the creating of the proper balance in same.

3. There will be periods when the body will revert and have days or periods when there is the return of inability for the full, complete activity. But these, too, will pass and there will come better reactions - if the activities are sustained that may be indicated for the elimination and the helpful forces through the eliminations of the body.

4. The blood stream indicates how the toxic forces from the whole of the hepatic circulation, or from the liver and kidneys, and from the poor eliminations, cause a prolapsus in the colon area itself; how that the pressure from these is upon the organs of the lower portion of the abdomen, especially making for this taxation upon the locomotory muscular forces. Thus there is the neuritic effect, also a congestion of all the tissues through the area, and a rheumatic reaction that comes through the muscular forces of the lower limbs and through the torso. Thus at times there is the affectation of the kidneys and the activities of same, disturbing at times the bladder and the scrotum itself, and through the glands and the ducts about the eliminations. Thus as we find a pressure is produced upon the glandular forces, so that there is pain at times through or when there is the evacuation of the bladder itself; there is a swelling a little under the lower portion of the abdomen, and this general inability for activity.

5. As we would give then for these conditions, these in the present - and it may be necessary to change these after they have been used for three to six weeks, and then we will find the activities should be really relieved and a good deal of help brought to the body:

6. We would begin by the preparation of Toris Compound. Make two quantities, half a pint of each. One of the compounds would be made with the Simple Syrup, see. Take two teaspoonsful of same after each meal. Make the other compound with the spirits frumenti or whiskey, you see, and then combine the two together.

7. At least twice each week use a high enema. Whether the eliminations are begun by the taking of the Toris Compound, or whether these do not act so freely upon the alimentary canal, take enema regularly - twice a week for at least three to four weeks, so we may cleanse the colon and give the opportunity of the eliminating forces of the body to take from the system through the alimentary canal the poisons and accumulations there.

8. We would also find it helpful that we combine these together for massaging: Equal portions of Mutton Suet or Mutton Tallow (that is melted), Spirits of Camphor, Spirits of Turpentine and Tincture of Benzoin. Put these all together. Of course, heat the Mutton Tallow so that it will dissolve and the others mixed with this. Massage this across the hips, through the groin and over those portions of the body. And each evening when retiring lay an electric pad - not of the high temperature - across the lower portion of these, to drive this in, see? Massage this, all the body will hold, then apply the pad. Do this each evening for at least two to three weeks.

9. In the matter of the diet be MOST careful. DO NOT take pork in ANY form, other than a little breakfast bacon. Do not eat too much white bread. These tend to make for accumulations. Use rather either corn bread or whole wheat bread. These as we find are the things to abstain from. Beef, not fried but roasted, or fowl or fish, these are the meats that may be taken. Do not eat FRIED potatoes. They may be taken at times boiled or mashed, but not too great quantities of same; just a little of these.

10. Be persistent with these, follow these through, taking all of the quantity of Toris Compound. Be sure these are prepared with the ounce of the compound of the Syrup of Sarsaparilla for EACH quantity, you see, making one with the Simple Syrup, the other with the Spirits Frumenti or Whiskey. Then put the two together. Dissolve each property thoroughly before being added. Then take the dose as indicated.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) What should be used in the high enema? (A) This should not be warmer than the temperature of the body, and should always be used with the soda and salt. Use the Fountain Syringe; that is, with the long tube, and the regular rectal applicator, and put in each application or each bottle of water a level teaspoonful of baking soda and a heaping teaspoonful of table salt. Dissolve thoroughly in water before it is put into the bag.

13. (Q) Should the colon tube be used? (A) Not yet; only the rectal tube.

After this has been taken for three to six weeks, we would give further instructions.

14. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/15/36 Letter: “I am improving in my walk and am still taking your treatment and think it is doing good. Of course I do not expect to walk as good as when I was young.”

R2. 4/23/37 “My health is good except my walking. I can hardly walk without a cane… Brother [244] is fairly well but I can tell he is going down hill. There are just three of us [brother [244] and me and sister] left, and we are not here for long. We are having some real cool weather here. I have planted my garden but it is not doing much good except potatoes. Cut worms are as bad as I ever saw them.

“Edgar, I am going to ask you to read my case again for me. I know I am not old enough to be in this fix.”

R3. 5/3/37 See 1287-2.
