CASE — COSTIVENESS AND HEMORRHOIDS – Edwin Babbitt

Mrs. C. A. von Cort, of New York, author of “Household Treasure and Medical Adviser,” and a lady of considerable medical experience, received from me a bottle of sugar of milk which I had charged with yellow-orange light, and the usual dose of which was an amount as large as one to three peas.

Concerning its effects she wrote me the following letter, speaking of her experience in giving it to Mrs. VanKeuren, of Morrisania, and enclosing a note from the latter:

“Mrs. VanKeuren has suffered with hemorrhoids so severely that all ordinary purgatives which her physicians have given her cause intense pain, and prove very prostrating. Your medicine charged with the yellow light is elegant, and works gently and admirably.” — C. A. VON CORT.

The following is Mrs. Van Keuren’s letter:

“Mrs. von Cort:—Please tell the doctor that the medicine you gave me has had the desired effect. The first needed a little assistance, the last one after 24 hours relieved me without help almost free from pain. I feel easier to-night than I have been for months.”

The first dose was doubtless too small, on account of her great costiveness. In severe cases it would be well to take two to four teaspoonfuls of charged water before each meal, until the bowels move, or even every hour in an emergency. The water can be charged somewhat in a few minutes of bright sunlight, but I allow my lenses to lie out of doors on the window ledge where the light can strike them constantly, meantime putting in fresh water every two or three days in hot weather to keep it pure.

I have tested the power of water charged in these yellow-orange lenses in a great number of cases, and uniformly with the same effect, excepting with two or three persons whose bowels were already in a positive and active condition. With these no change was discovered. I also had a patient whose bowels were so very much constricted as to resist all ordinary medicine, and which resisted a single dose or two of the charged yellow water, but I feel confident that if the water had been taken hourly the proper result would have been accomplished during the day.

I use deep blue lenses for water to check diarrhœa, or inflammation, or sleeplessness, as will be seen hereafter. I have also a few purple lenses in which I charge water for indigestion, although I may not be able to supply the public yet, excepting a few physicians, to whom it is highly important, as their manufacture for a small number is troublesome.

The above examples, and all of my experience with the yellow-charged water, or blue-charged water, go to prove the gentle, safe and enduring effect of these refined elements, and their influence on the mind, in harmony with principle XV of Chapter First, and the reason of this deep and radical influence is that they deal directly with the nerve-forces which lie at the seat of power, instead of the blood, or muscles, or other subsidiary functions, and that, too, without clogging the system with coarse and poisonous elements, such as is too commonly done with drugs.
