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

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before.

3. Now, the body shows improvement throughout, through the application of those conditions as have been given. While we find that the gold, with the diet as has been used for the body, has not reacted to the eliminations in the proper way and manner, this produced, as seen, by the diet. The vibratory forces, as is set by the application of the Violet Ray, have proven beneficial throughout. The reaction as produced - those dizzy spells - is from the non-elimination centers being stimulated by this vibratory force, in liver, spleen, and in the intestinal system. Hence, we would use now, added to these, those properties as will produce more eliminations - not leaving off the gold, or the vibratory forces in Violet Ray, in the manner as has been given, but keep away from those diets that cause fermentation in the intestinal tract, through the lower portion, through the colon, and through that portion of the body. Rather those to bring the laxative forces, and the elimination, with a stimulation to the liver, see? These, we find, would be in more GREEN vegetable forces, see? No meats - not too much broths, or things of that nature. Beef JUICES may be used, but NOT the MEATS, see?

4. Keeping up those same conditions as have been given, and we will find we will bring the relief for these conditions in this body. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) What is it that disturbs my sleep? (A) The inability of the system to react to the vibratory forces, as we see, disturbs sleep, see? This will be assisted by the production of more eliminations, in a normal way, and of the liver and the spleen acting in a nominal manner.

6. (Q) Why does my stomach not digest my food? (A) Improper eating causes much of the condition - the liver and the activity of same are not being carried on properly.

7. (Q) Am I taking the treatments right? (A) Treatments are very good, for these, we see, are bringing results in the system. The diet has not been right, see? as has been given.

8. (Q) What is hindering a quicker improvement in my general condition? (A) Diet.

9. (Q) Why do my legs swell just below the knee, especially the right knee? (A) Poor elimination, and the poor circulation as is created to the lower extremities. These would be assisted more by the adjustments of those conditions in the lumbar and sacral region, by the action of the osteopathic adjustments as would be necessary there for same.

10. (Q) Why is eyesight affected also? (A) That of the nerve vibratory forces, as is set by sympathetic system by the pressure as is created on same in the cervical and dorsal region.

11. (Q) What causes the large white spots on my hands and forearms? (A) Poor elimination.

12. (Q) Why are my arms so strong and my legs so weak? (A) The hindrance in the lumbar and sacral region, as needs correction for the circulation in these portions. Six to eight adjustments and treatments osteopathically given should correct these conditions.

13. That is all the questions.

14. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 9/22/26 “I placed my order for the violet ray hand machine, so I get it tomorrow and I will start in again. I think the other treatments [in Dr. Haney’s office] were too strenuous for me. I will take the osteopathic tr. from a regular osteopath. Dr. Haney was a chiropractor, but he gave the electric tr. and was handy to reach from my home. He said I needed spinal adjustments. He gave me 3 and I haven’t been the same since. It made my back ache, or sore rather, and I haven’t been back for a week. So now I will have to start all over again, and I will say that if the cause of all my sick troubles is removed, I will be the happiest woman in the world, and you will be a very clever man to bring it about. All of my doctors here call my condition a nervous breakdown and that there is no permanent cure for it. It certainly is a queer ailment. Just when I think I am feeling fairly good, down I go and it takes weeks to recover enough to attend to my daily duties…

“Never mind about the Life Rdg. You do not owe me that, and I hope you are feeling alright again yourself, for nothing takes the joy out of life like a sickness, for then we are helpless. I will write again in another week or two, after the new order of things, and thank you all very much for the personal interest in my case. It gives encouragement.”

R2. 10/3/26 “If this tr. is like the case in the Bible, where Elisha told the king Naaman to wash seven times in the River Jordan, but the king thought the rivers of Abana and Pharpar were just as good or better to wash in, but he was not healed, so was advised to do as he was told and he was healed [11 Kings 5:10-14], then we will all have to be strictly obedient. Another thing, if it is not worth going after it is not worth having. As soon as my foot heals up I will go to an osteopath in all meekness. A slab of marble fell on my left foot and cut it open 8 days ago, and it is still sore and makes me lame. I work all the time around the house and it doesn’t get a chance to heal up. I haven’t time to be bothered with a little thing like that… I am still taking the violet ray and the gold, hoping for the best.”

R3. 10/16/26 “I have reached the stage where I don’t know what to do. This morning finds me like Dempsey, knocked out, I am sorry to say. I have taken 3 tr. from the osteopath. I do believe these doctors give me the once over and think (not out loud) that she is a big, fat, husky woman who just imagines she is sick, then they go at me. Accordingly, my condition this morning is the result. I was out for a ride last night down town and back and when I got out of the car they had to almost carry me in the house. My hips and legs gave out. I was ready to cry from disappointment, for it is for that purpose that I went to you first. My weak legs have been a mystery to all who know me. This is the second time I have gone that way during the tr. and never before, so that is the reason I am undecided whether to continue the treatments or not. It is almost at an end anyway, the 22nd of this month - makes 4 months.

“If you think another rdg. might throw some more light on the subject, alright - we will arrange for it. I don’t want to be your Jonah patient. Of course I have to work very hard all the time and I am stiff from the unusual work I had to do this week, and twice as sore from the osteopath’s work on my spine and hips. We are having some rooms papered and I had to prepare the rooms for it, besides all of my regular work - washing, ironing, cooking and waiting on first one and then another. Believe me, a mother’s life is a busy one, and it doesn’t come so easy to me any more. In fact, it never did come easy, only easier. Be that as it may, you have a very sorrowful patient on your hands, and a very much disappointed one. Not only for the lack of healing but for the lack of faith in God. Where CAN we go for help?”

R4. 10/22/26 “You are very kind to make another appt. for me so soon. Your diagnosis of my case is correct, and it is not your fault that my body does not respond to the tr. Enclosed is a $5 gift for the rdg.” [Appt. was for 10/30th but EC had to postpone it due to death of his mother.]

R5. 11/15/26 “I am feeling some better that when I wrote you last. Well enough to do my work. I hope things are alright with you.”

R6. 11/18/26 See 464-3.
