1. EC: Now, we find there is a great deal of difference in the body at the present time and that as we had it here before. While there are some of the same incentives in the functioning of portions of the system, we find the body physically a great deal better than when we had it before, and we find the conditions at the present time are improved and bettered from what they have been recently. We find that with the proper discretion in the diet, in the physical movement of the body, this may be kept in better accord. We find, however, there has been too much of some medicinal properties taken in and at improper times and periods, and not taken consistently. The strain, the distress, the uneasiness, the pains as are caused through the intestinal tract is the taxing of the system so that too much of the secretions from the glands secreting the acid saline in intestinal tract have become exaggerated in their functioning, without the proper excretory functioning in the secretive glands in liver, this causing the distress in body. Better that the body should not eat meats, nor any of the vegetable matter that carries so much of the tubrous [tuberous] nature that produce this kind of alcohol in the system, exciting these glands to the extra secretions and functionings in the upper intestinal tract and in the lower portion of the stomach proper.

2. The diet should be more whole wheat, Graham flour and Bran, and not too much sweets, for these cause and produce distresses in the system. Sufficient of the properties to cause the kidneys to function nearer normal. In the present condition we have the too much secretions and eliminations being attempted through these organs, producing some inflammation in the bladder. Better that without so much medicinal properties those vibrations through the manipulation of muscles and tissue be applied the system with the violet ray over the lower portion of the system. That is, along the sacral and ilium plexus region and over the locomotories and lower portion of body. This will prevent this swelling of the limbs and the trouble as experienced in the lower portion of the body. Well also with the diet, and with the water that is taken let there be those properties of elm carried in water, that we may heal and supply lactic fluids for the intestinal tract. Not hot water, nor hot cold, but palatable to the body. Persistent, consistent, in diet, in mental and in physical actions of the body, that nearer the line as would be given in the sensible usage of the physical forces; not overtaxing, neither too lax in keeping the movements of the body.

3. Do that.

4. Small portions of stimulus to heart action is necessary, but do not take this except in the very small dose, nor very great quantities at any time. Rather those properties that are as astringent at the present time and healing properties to the system.

5. We are through.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/13/24 EC’s letter to Mrs. [325]: “[3776] had all of her children with her for Thanksgiving dinner. She is getting very feeble. Has never recovered from her spell a year ago, though is greatly improved, so I am told, but she shows her age and is quite feeble.”

R2. 2/4/25 Mrs. [3776]‘s letter: “I have been real sick this week with my bowels, they give me so much trouble, and then I cough badly. I stay so weak I can hardly use my hands. [243] had Dr. Beard [Martha Beard, D.O.] to come one day last week to give me a treatment. I think it helped me, it made me rest better. So if you will I sure would thank you to give me a reading, and I will try to do what you say do.”
