1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same, and you will answer the questions regarding this body that I will ask you.

2. EC: Now, we find there have some unsatisfactory conditions arisen in the physical condition of the body, yet in many ways and manners we find the body gradually on the improve, and the vitality and strength of the resistance in the system gradually on the improve; while the great care and attention as has and is being given the body, yet we find that these conditions at times break through, as is were - that is, those conditions that bring distresses to various portions of the system.

3. That condition as is seen in the functioning of the lymphatic circulation, which has caused some distress through the bronchials, nasal cavities, and through that of the thyroids and the portions of the throat proper, shows how that the system becomes easily excited or exaggerated by an increased circulation. The temperature as is produced at such times comes from the inability of the system to eliminate properly.

4. We would reduce, by the manipulation, the temperature; also using lukewarm or cool enemas. This, as we find, will remove much of the condition that is excited by this undue circulation, see? and we would keep many of those conditions for the system as have been given.

5. In the application of the Coco-Quinine at the present time, this we would rather massage in the system than taking internally. That would be massaged in the lymphatic circulation - arm pits, elbows, abdomen, thighs, with cocoa butter - Coco-Quinine and cocoa butter massaged together into this portion will give strength, and will also reduce the circulation, you see, through the capillaries. The lymphatics taking this up, this will act directly on this circulation, see? Be careful that the feet are kept dry, especially. Not over heated, yet allowed to take sufficient exercise that we have a good full capillary circulation, see? Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Is there any trace of tuberculosis in her blood or system anywhere? (A) No.

7. (Q) Are her tonsils involved in any way? (A) All the portions of the throat, and all the conditions in the lymphatic circulation, as we see, are involved; not to the extent that these have been derogatory to the system at the present time, yet these should be looked after, see? Hence the conditions as we have given for the blood supply and for the stimulation of the circulation in its proper channel of elimination.

8. (Q) Should the tonsils be removed? (A) No.

9. (Q) What causes the earaches? (A) This same effect as is produced in the throat and bronchials, in the lymphatic circulation, affects directly the Eustachian Tube. This gives the earache.

10. (Q) Should she take milk from cows tested for tuberculosis or diphtheria? (A) Those that are inoculated the body should not take milk from. Those that may be tested would be a different condition. Those that are inoculated give an undue effect to one that is easily swayed by even suggestions through the milk, see? All milk, as has been given, should be heated and boiled, or sterilized.

11. (Q) Has the body any malaria in the blood now? (A) Little. This is shown through the liver and the poor elimination, or an unbalanced elimination.

12. (Q) Does she need salt or soda baths now? (A) Rather that as outlined. Of course, soda baths may be given when the body is bathed off from that of the massage of quinine and butter.

13. (Q) Should she have any codliver oil now? (A) This is always good to build the system, yet do not OVER stimulate the system with drugs, or ANY nostrums that give an unbalanced condition for the system. Rather be controlled by the diet and by the activities of the system, see?

14. (Q) How soon can she have sweet milk on her cereals now? (A) When there is no trace of the malaria in the blood.

15. (Q) Any special diet for the body? (A) None than that as has been given. Follow that.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/10/26 Drs. Al. C. and Mary E. Layne’s letter: ”…The reading on little [4281] came in due time and we greatly appreciate all your untiring efforts to help us. She seems to be improving some now, though slowly. There are just a few other questions that I want to get you to answer for us, as soon as you possibly can. You say she has malaria yet. I thought she must have, as her temperature hangs on in spite of all we have done to stop it. Please see just where and how she contracted the malaria. Did she get it through the water or milk supply at …, Georgia, or from the mosquitoes or decaying vegetation? Would a change of climate benefit her condition? If so, please tell where we should take her for the summer. Would Prof. Weltmer’s Hot Hand magnetic treatment, of Nevada, Missouri, cure her? The baby specialist in Atlanta advises giving her a malaria tonic #138,473. What does this tonic contain and would it benefit her? I have used Winter-Smith’s Chill and Malaria Tonic with grown people very successfully. Please see if this would benefit [4281]. [4281] begs to eat beets, squash, fresh ripe tomatoes, raw, and ripe strawberries, also blackberries, string beans. Please see if she can eat the vegetables well-cooked and mashed? The raw tomatoes or carrots? Also strawberries? Can she eat ice-cream made of boiled milk and eggs? Or sherbet or fruit juices? And which fruits? Should she eat egg custard or chocolate custard in very small quantities or at all? She still runs a temperature, so please see if she should have any fresh butter or a little boiled sweet milk on her cereals? She cannot eat them without something, she says! She is taking the boiled B.B. Culture buttermilk now. Would the B.B. Culture benefit her for a tonic? Should she eat any corn-muffins or butter-cakes made of scalded meal and cooked without grease? When can she eat any sweet or Irish potatoes? Should she take lemon juice with either salt or sugar? She craves lemonade! Or fresh pineapple juice, sweetened? Should she go bare-footed at all this summer? She is always asking to leave off her shoes since the warm days have come! We want to know if she should return to …, Georgia, in a few weeks or remain in Griffin, where she can get the treatments daily?

“Now, we ALL sincerely appreciate all your wonderful helpfulness and Mr. [4283] wants to send you an offering real soon. He would have long ago, but had to let his store go at a great sacrifice, because he could not stand the indoor strain. Had to get an outdoor position! Please let us hear from you at once, just as soon as you can…”
