TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Body not feeling so good. Weakness. As we find, with the general treatment as has been indicated, we would only add a tonic to be taken as medicine, though, not as JUST a stimulant because it IS a stimulant that would aid the body materially.
2. Keep away from Coca-Cola, the soft drinks that carry the carbonated water. If limeade or lemonade is taken WITHOUT the carbonated water, very well.
3. The treatments we would continue REGULARLY.
4. As we find, the tonic to be taken as MEDICINE would be taken of a morning and in the evening WHEN through with the labors, see? It would be prepared in this manner:
5. To 2 ounces of Strained Honey add 2 ounces of PLAIN water; preferably boiled water, not distilled water necessarily. Boil this together, or let it come to a boil, sufficient to make the refuse forces rise. Strain off. Then add to this:
   Apple Brandy; pure apple brandy,

   NOT Apple Jack...................6 ounces,
Tincture of Stillingia..............1 ounce,
Syrup of Wild Cherry Bark...........1 ounce.

6. The dose of this would be a teaspoonful mornings upon arising, evenings as soon as through work. This may be taken in the evening if there is the cough or restlessness; not more than a teaspoonful at the time.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What should I do for the tired, achey feel in shoulders and chest?
   (A) Keep the eliminations more in order, even though it's necessary to take an enema each day. This is NOT harmful if the enema is not too great a quantity or too high a temperature. Have same the temperature of the body. Use a saline solution; a heaping teaspoonful of table salt to a quart of water is not too much.
9. (Q) Why this stingy feeling in my hands and arms at times, and the profuse perspiring at times?
   (A) Poor circulation; needs the stimulation to the respiratory system as has been indicated by the use of those properties as given; stimulating through the kidneys from the activity of the brandy through the respiratory system and digestive system with those properties given. These will be helpful with it.
10. (Q) Should I continue with the yeast?
    (A) Well to take it NOT continually but take it for a week two or three times a day, leave it off a week; but KEEP THE ELIMINATIONS EVERY DAY!
11. (Q) Is smoking a detriment to me?
    (A) In moderation not harmful. Too much is VERY harmful. DO NOT smoke of mornings BEFORE MEALS!
12. (Q) Why the absolute uselessness of my left foot and ankle at times when I sit for a while? Is it caused from these enlarged veins in my legs?
    (A) Circulation. This needs the stimulation and correction through the manipulations that will make for a balancing in the body.
13. (Q) What must I do to get rid of this cough?
    (A) Use those things as has been indicated.
14. We are through with this reading.
