TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [243]; this we have had before.
3. In some respects conditions show an improvement from that as we have had here before; in others we find a great strain upon the locomotories and the limbs, the knees and the feet; also those conditions which have existed from cold, through the head and the face, give disturbance, - producing a great deal of poison and toxic conditions, and the needs for better eliminations as related to those particular areas especially.
4. For the antrum, throat and face, - we would use another inhalant, in addition to the cough syrup and compound as we have indicated. Prepare same in this manner:
5. To 4 ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol, add - in the order named:

   Oil of Eucalyptus....................20 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.........15 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp................10 minims,
Rectified Creosote....................5 minims,
Tolu in Solution.....................30 minims.

6. Put this in at least an 8 ounce dark glass bottle, prepared with two vents into the space above the solution, but not entering the solution itself. Keep these corked, or prepared so they may be kept well corked, - either with glass vents or quills, - glass preferably, as it may be kept corked the better.
7. Shake the solution well and use it night and morning; night just before retiring - or during the night if there is the arousing by filling of the throat or nasal passages - and morning upon arising. Inhale into each nostril (holding the other nostril as it is inhaled) and deep through the soft tissue of the face; also in the throat, - this to be inhaled into the lungs, NOT taken into the stomach or the epiglottis itself.
8. As for the limbs, - each evening, or at least three to four evenings a week, soak the feet and limbs to the knees in a fluid made from boiling old coffee grounds. It is the tannic acid in this that is helpful, which can be better obtained from boiling the old grounds (but not soured). Too much of the new coffee grounds is not well, but sufficient that the water is colored well from the hardboiled coffee grounds.
9. Following such a foot bath, massage Peanut Oil thoroughly into the knee and under the knee, through the area from the knee to the foot, and especially the bursae of the feet.
10. And we will find, if this is done consistently, we will relieve these tensions.
11. Also, in the diet:
12. At least once each day take an ounce of Raw Carrot Juice. Use a juicer to extract the juice from fresh raw carrots.
13. Have plenty of vegetables.
14. Not too much meats; only fish, fowl or lamb. Do not eat beef or ham. Bacon may be taken occasionally.
15. Do not mix cereals and citrus fruit juices at the same meal.
16. Do not use milk or cream in coffee or tea that is taken.
17. These as we find will bring bettered conditions for this body.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What can be done for the kidney condition?
    (A) The massage and the carrot juice will change much of this condition.
20. (Q) What causes pain on the right side, just below the breast?
    (A) The inability of the liver to assimilate the greases or heavy foods that have been taken at times. Hence the diet as indicated. [Cholecystitis?]
21. Do that as outlined for the body.
22. We are through with this reading.
