  1. EC: Yes. As we find, the delay has not been beneficial for the betterment of the body; for this has produced in the minds of those about the body any thought of either acceptance or the use of that which might be given.

  2. However, if there would be applied for those disorders that exist a compound rub prepared in this manner, we would bring for the body a much better response:

  3. Obtain common clay from the surrounding territory, or even in the own yard - not that with grit, but dig sufficiently deep to get rid of the gravel and cinder on the surface - and mix with same sufficient olive oil to make almost a putty substance. Apply this to the area from the 1st dorsal to the 12th dorsal on the spine of the body - next to the skin itself, see? about half an inch thick, only covering the spinal area. Let this remain on the body for twenty to thirty minutes. Then remove and cleanse with tepid water.

  4. Then apply this lotion or compound:

Rub Alcohol…6 ounces, Russian White Oil…2 ounces, Tincture of Benzoin…1 ounce, Tincture of Lobelia or Essence of…15 minims, Oil of Sassafras…5 minims.

Necessary that this be kept in a glass corked container. Shake together thoroughly before a small quantity is poured out for use. Massage in the spine from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, and especially over the locomotary centers. Massage from the base of brain DOWNWARD, and never toward the head - but away from head.

  1. This would be done each day:

  2. Also following same use the Radio-Active Appliance to equalize the circulation.

  3. Be mindful of the diet, that this is kept of those things that are easily digested.

  4. This has been a stoppage, to be sure, of the circulation; forming the inability of locomotion in one portion of the body, see?

  5. Ready for questions.

  6. We are through for the present.
