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 with this body that may be corrected, and these are abnormal for this body. This will require care, attention, and a persistent outlined condition to be adhered to in a strict manner, for many of these conditions are prenatal, yet these may be overcome in the condition, for the cycles of the organs are such that those that are involved in the condition are in that position where the change will come, and these may be eliminated entirely from the system, and, as this condition is created by the system taking from that added to it for its building in the body, and setting up a system as a parasite system within the functioning organs of the body, this may be overcome by adding that to the system that will eliminate this, or adding sufficient to the unit forces of the atomic conditions of the body that builds PROPERLY to a normal condition of functioning, rather than this as is seen; for, with the present condition, the diet of the body is such that this condition is aggravated at times, rather than assisted, yet much of the physical exercises of the body, and the outdoor, and the close to nature, in many ways good. The cleansing of the system externally very good - internally very poor.

3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [43], we are speaking of.

4. The blood forces show this contamination, or that humor as is carried in same that expresses itself in various manners over portions of the body, affecting often the breath, affecting the capillary circulation, affecting internally at times the digestion and the assimilating system. In the exterior portion called by different names.

5. In the nerve system, this very good, save there has been a strain in the 2nd lumbar that needs correction very much. This will eventually give the body trouble, unless this is corrected properly.

6. In the functioning of the organs of the body, all show the strain under which these labor, and many of these, especially the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs, show the effect of this long-standing condition in the blood, and the effects of prenatal conditions for the body.

7. Now, to overcome these would be first to have the condition in the dorsal and lumbar region corrected, chiropractically. Should take eighteen (18) adjustments, which should bring the body to its normal.

8. After the adjustments are taken, see? (not taking medicinal properties unless the adjustments are made) take this as the medicinal properties:

9. First prepare the carrier for these, in this: To 1 gallon of rain water, add 8 ounces Wild Cherry Bark. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 1 quart. Strain and add 4 ounces of sugar, first dissolved in 1 ounce of very hot water. Then add this to the solution (Cherry, or tea of the bark):

Syrup Compound of Sarsaparilla…2 ounces, Tincture of Stillingia…1/2 ounce, Tincture of Yellow Dock Root…1/2 ounce, 10% solution of Iodide of Potassium…40 minims, 10% solution of Bromide of Potassium..60 minims, Elixir Calisaya…1/2 ounce, Essence Tolu in solution…1/2 ounce.

10. Shake this solution well together. Then add 4 ounces pure grain alcohol. The dose of this will be teaspoonful 4 times each day, see? before each meal (and eat the meals - never eating too heavily) and before retiring. Don’t retire too soon after the evening meal is eaten. Don’t sit up too late, but don’t retire too soon afterward. Give full time for digestion - changing the diet from this one system diet. Not meats, especially not fat meats. Lean meat of beef or mutton may be eaten. No hog meat or any fish for this body.

11. Keep the intestinal tract open, even though high enemas are used; not using too much of any cathartic, but keep eliminations good.

12. Rest a little in the middle of the day, see? Follow this closely, making corrections first. Do not take the medicinal properties unless the corrections are made first, for though they would assist, they would not correct the conditions in the body, unless adjustments made first.

13. We are through for the present.

Background

B1. 6/1/26 Letter from [43] to EC: “A friend of mine recommended me to write you that they were positive that you could help me.

“I cough at night when I get the least bit warm, some time I vomit and spit up phlegm, it seems, to be in my throat. I have a good appetite but don’t get much sleep on the account of coughing.

“I have also been to several other doctors, they don’t seem to do me any good. I have lost weight in the last two months. I lay that on hard work as I am working a hundred and sixty acre farm alone, and without any rest. I think that is why I am loosing in weight.

“Hoping to hear from you soon…”

B2. 6/14/26 Letter from [43] to EC: “I am enclosing one dollar at this time, and after the 30th when I hear from you, I will follow your directions and, if any results at all, will be more than pleased to help the work along…”
