TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [19] - this we have had before. Through the accumulations of congestion, as produced from overheat - with the wrong character or with the such character of fermentation in the system - we find a tendency for an accumulation of PHLEGM-like portions along the intestinal system. These, as we find, are not of the same CHARACTER or nature as HAVE existed in system.
2. Only would we CLEANSE same, or cleanse the whole system, so that these do not become attached to, or cause - in the folds of the system itself - irritations that become lacerations, ulcerations, or such natures. We will find that we should take TIME to get the system in a position where the activities of the body, or of the vital forces in same, have more resistance to such conditions.
3. We would take, then, AS that as will act as an eliminant, those combinations of the active forces in same, that keep for the non-acidity in system - as will produce, or is produced from phlegm-like combinations or congestion centers. Those of the Milk of Magnesia, Milk of Bismuth, and those that come from the combination of the forces as in teas of saffron and of camomile - half and half - made first in that of one to ten and allowed to steep for twenty-five to thirty minutes. There may be added every third day those also of the massage, or of the nature that will produce an ACTIVITY with same. These altered from day today, will cleanse the system. Those that will act as the best antiseptic, as we find, may be found in those forces of a nature whose reactive forces in same are of a very mild form of an antiseptic that is ALKALIN. These may be found either in those of Glyco, of Lavorice, or any of these natures. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is the cause and treatment of pain in stomach area?
   (A) That's just what we have been talking about all the time! Now, to aid in these sorts of conditions - as has been given - the body should take the time to give the reactions long enough, or sufficient time to build resistance.
5. (Q) Is it of a cancerous nature?
   (A) We have just given, it's of a phlegm nature!
6. (Q) What diet would you advise?
   (A) That as will be of a blood and nerve building, and not too much of that as carries acids.
7. (Q) Any other suggestions for the good of the body?
   (A) Take sufficient of those of the manipulations, and of the cleansing of the colon, as to keep the system cleansed. Keep the body in that manner of clean internally, externally, and the mind - not high-minded, but well balanced.
8. (Q) How often osteopathic treatments?
   (A) At LEAST twice each week.
9. (Q) How often colonics?
   (A) Once each week would be sufficient, until four - then it may be made every month.
10. That is all the questions regarding this body.
11. We are through with this reading.
