EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as surround this body. Now, we find there have been specific conditions as have affected the body, and these are at present allayed, or some improved. This produced by the eliminating from the systems the creation of poisons by the lack of assimilation, yet these tendencies as are produced in this body, [5607] we are speaking of, are from rather the lack of distribution of that assimilated, and is from the lack of the ability of the blood forces to receive the proper impulses, as well as give to that portion of the replenishing within system sufficient of the red blood energy for the system. With these recuperations, we would find that - while under the present regime or manner of treating the body, it will respond - yet we find there are other conditions, were THESE applied, would BETTER facilitate the body for the NEEDS as NECESSARY to bring the nearer normal forces for the system; that is, we would give for this condition, even at the present time, small quantities of those properties in Castoria. While that is ordinarily considered as only of a senna reaction, or a senna as the active principle - yet we will find that this, taken in broken doses for a period, will be assimilated rather by the system of the OTHER properties that will act BETTER with the digestive system. Also will form for the assimilating of the system through the activities as are necessary in liver, spleen, pancreas, duodenum, lacteal ducts, and all in system that NECESSARY for PROPER assimilation and proper blood building. We would also keep this up until the system is thoroughly cleansed, or until we are sure of the full reaction from these properties; giving as the dose 15 drops every 3 hours for at least 3 or 4 days. ONCE each day we would give a small quantity of Milk of Magnesia - say half a teaspoonful, to assist in sweetening and in aiding the stomach to assimilate the properties as taken as food values.
-
The food values for the system, we would use those of the beef juices - only the juice; not as broth, but as JUICE, or blood pudding, or calves’ liver, and codliver oil. THESE as assimilating forces and blood building, but most of all - as for those conditions as exist that form a basis for the conditions as exist in this body - those elements with which the associate or dependant of this body is associated - those that will bring the better elements for the conditions as exist in the structural portion, through which the blood supply or red blood forces of body create that necessary element for assimilating the proper building in the system - these, as seen, will be aided through the addition, then, of the Infra Red Ray, for the blood and bone and nerve building tissue for the system. As these are developed, the body then receiving these under the instruction or the direct application of same through the instruction of that one upon whom the body depends, we will find these conditions as exist in the limbs, those as exist in the structural portion of the bone itself, may be - through the proper adjustments AND manipulations - kept then in a nearer normal condition. Do that. We are through with this reading.

B1. 8/26/29 Letter from [5607]‘s father, an electrical engineer, an executive with a large electrical firm; he previously had obtained his own physical reading:
”…Knowing how very busy you are it is with much reluctance that I write to ask for some of your valuable time. My little girl has me considerably worried and medical attendance here do not seem to be making much progress.
“[5607] was five years old May 17. About four weeks ago she awoke around midnight coughing and vomiting. I got bicarbonate of soda and water down her and cleared it up, she was o.k. the remainder of the night and two days when at the same time the same procedure was repeated. This kept up for about two weeks. Dr. Pierson of Baldwin [Long Island] found nothing very wrong; however, gave her citrato-carbonate to make her system alkaline. About the third week she repeated these spells every night (once). This was followed by an attack of diarrhea which took a week to clear up to about 75% normal (still not o.k.). This work was done by Dr. Alice Higgins of Rockville Center, Long Island, who has been attending her for about six days. She used castor oil followed by taking all foods from her excepting crackers, toast, Farina, cream of wheat, buttermilk, broth, rice, jello.
“We desire a physical reading of her condition advising what is wrong. What should be done for the child medically? What should be done for her in diet? Is Dr. Alice Higgins a suitable doctor to attend her? Is bathing in salt water detrimental to her? Is exposure to sunshine detrimental to her? Can manufactured ice cream as on the market here be included in her diet? Can any information be given as to the direct cause of her upset, such as might indicate certain normal foods detrimental to her system?
“Also chocolate was on Dr. Higgin’s diet list. Although refusing to eat much of any of these except for crackers, she had a vomiting spell again this morning at 5 A.M. (milk was added to her diet yesterday - we stopped it today). She has lost four of her forty pounds weight.
“We would certainly appreciate your assistance and I am enclosing a list of questions for the director of this reading if you can do this favor for us…”
