1. EC: Yes, we have the body [348] - this we have had before. The body shows considerable improvement from that condition as has existed with same, and needs only to keep up the eliminations in the proper direction as has been outlined; that is, keeping down the acidity - not becoming overbalanced in an opposite direction, to be sure, but the added forces as the system builds from the proper assimilation of the foods taken, and the reduction of irritation produced in the digestive system, aids the body in storing energy. This is needed as much as any condition. In the water, we would keep adding those properties of the elm, also of the other conditions, as has been given for the body. The ELM should be taken at LEAST three or four times each day - just the pinch in the glass of water, stirred thoroughly. The saffron once to twice each day, that the irritation may be kept down and PREVENTING any re-occurrence. Well, too, [if there were] were small quantities of olive oil taken for the system to store energy for the whole intestinal tract. Just the quantity as may be easily assimilated by the body. The manipulations, as has been outlined, should be kept occasionally for the body, so that the ENERGIES as are exercised by the system - both as to the mental and physical forces - may have the proper distribution of USED forces, as well as the proper building up of those replenishing elements that must take place in the physical functioning of a system. Then keeping these much in the way as has been outlined, altering only to meet the needs of the physical forces, we will find the conditions gradually - but consistently - on the improve. Do that. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/16/29 Wife [304]‘s letter: “I was so relieved that you said [348] is improving, and I judge from what you say the ulcers have gone, and the thing to do now is to continue the same suggestions to prevent a return of same. He has gotten the olive oil as you suggested. You are a wonder! I feel quite confident if [348] will just do what you tell him to he will gradually get well and normal. He hasn’t had any pain for about six weeks now, I guess.”

R2. 4/21/29 Mr. [348]‘s letter: “You have been very kind to [340] and me…we certainly do thank you for all you have done for us… I feel about as well as I ever did; considering the long hrs. we put in on this job [managing 104 hotel apts.], I don’t believe we could feel much better.”
