TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have those conditions that have surrounded this body here, [274]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, while conditions have shown a great deal of material improvement, there have been indiscretions on the part of the body - especially as in reference to starches for the system.
3. The more alkalin reacting foods should be kept; but we would give in the present rather an outline for the diet.
4. First we would find that the Upjohn's Citrocarbonate taken after the meals now will be much more in keeping with keeping the gastric juices of the stomach in an alkalin reacting state. And this would be an outline for the diet:
5. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, especially the grapefruit juice. Afterwards there may be added the whole wheat brown toast, coddled egg or such.
6. About nine to ten o'clock there may be taken a malted milk with raw egg, but only the yolk with same; or dried milk, or milk that has been heated so that there are NOT those fermentations with same.
7. Noons - principally fresh green vegetables, raw.
8. Evenings - principally well-cooked vegetables. If meats are to be taken, use preferably fish, fowl or lamb.
9. After each meal take a teaspoonful of the Citrocarbonates in a glass of water.
10. We would continue to take exercises that make for the better eliminations through the alimentary canal. When necessary take the Caroid Bile Salts tablets. And if there is a return, with this diet, take the Al-Caroid - as the strain will be removed from the curd formation of foods with the use of this.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Why the burning in cardiac portion of stomach?
    (A) Acidity, from indiscretions in the eating - as we have indicated; and the tendency of the position of the stomach, which SHOULD be corrected by the manipulations and the activities of the body.
13. (Q) What treatment should I follow for the next two weeks while on my vacation away from city surroundings?
    (A) The diet, and the outdoor or physical activity - as indicated.
    Do this and, as we find, we can make the vacation a very much more helpful and beneficial experience to the body.
    All forms of green vegetables; lettuce, radish, celery, peppers, tomatoes and the like, all of these may be included, you see.
14. We are through with this reading.
