TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [91], - this we have had before. Now, we find there are a good many changes in the physical forces of the body from that as we have had before. There are many conditions as were indicated, and as existed, that show for an accentuation in the present. These, especially, have to do with those of the colon, and especially that condition in the rectum, where distresses are seen from the enlarging of those of the muscular forces and attachments thereto, that cause distress and worry. These, as we find, make for the nervousness, as does the NERVOUSNESS make for this condition with the form of prolapsus as exists in the descending colon. Also this makes for those conditions as we have with the blood supply.
2. As we would find, these would be as for those that would make for the immediate relief, as WELL as for a PERMANENT relief of these conditions.
3. First, we would keep off the feet; applying heat, PREFERABLY that of the saturated solution of Epsom Salts, across the lower lumbar and sacral and coccyx, keeping the feet elevated to a great extent; and then we would apply, as an ointment, that of Tim.
4. When these are RELIEVED of so much of the soreness, we would find that the proper precautions would be the removal OF the cause, or of those of the hemorrhoids as exist, in operation. This, as we find, would be better taken - not by knife, but by the manipulations, and by those of the cords as may be used in removal of same; else we may expect to find distresses produced through the formation of double outlets in the region.
5. We would also have those of the corrective measures, as has been given, for this condition existent in the colon itself. These would be by the reduction of the acidity in the system, and by the cleansing of same through the use of the irrigations, and using oil, and those of the conditions as make for EASING of same in an enema OF oil, and this that applies in same, see? Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Any special diet?
   (A) Those throughout the treatments should be rather of the pre-digested, and those that do not cause STRAIN on the system.
7. (Q) How often should the Tim be applied?
   (A) At least two or three times each day. We are through for the present.
