TEXT

1. EC: Yes. As we find, conditions continue to be rather severe and rather acute with this body.
2. Unless there are the proper eliminations by the use of those properties indicated, and the tepid enema, we will continue to have those reactions from the liver producing in the blood supply the temperature - which arises, as indicated - from the broken cellular force and inability of the body to produce the proper coagulating forces.
3. If we will follow, as we find, very specifically, very CONSCIENTIOUSLY, those suggestions fully as indicated, these should bring relief - unless other conditions arise.
4. These must be aroused to their activity (the eliminations); not merely by the movement of the alimentary canal but the CLEANSING of the system of those poisons that are thrown off by this production of the activity of same.
5. Keep the body quiet; not too great a quantity of foods and especially of those things that are hard to digest.
6. Do this.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Are treatments being given correctly?
   (A) Not all in their full entirety, as outlined. DO as has been indicated.
9. (Q) How often may the enemas be given?
   (A) Sufficiently often to keep away the arising of temperature. Whether this is every day or every other day or once a week, let it be sufficient to keep down these congestions. For this is a portion of the condition as indicated, causing the breaking of cellular forces and congesting of same - or the inability of the blood supply, through the lack of the activity of the liver, spleen and pancreas through its activity with the other effluvia of the system, to produce sufficient quantity of the leukocytes to war with those destructive forces that create those in the form of the temperature in the system.
10. (Q) Is there anything that will enable the body to sleep or rest?
    (A) Give a sedative, if the condition is not allayed through those things suggested; but this should be under the direction of a physician.
11. (Q) Does the Apple Brandy have a tendency to constipate the body?
    (A) Not if the other properties are given as indicated. Do not take too large quantities. Small sips of same are much preferable to large quantities. Half to a teaspoonful, and this sipped rather than just swallowed.
12. (Q) If it becomes necessary, what doctor would you advise?
    (A) One who may be able to administer the sedatives, and the necessary conditions as we have indicated.
13. (Q) Why is it so hard to set up eliminations through alimentary canal?
    (A) Owing to those congestions, or the very nature of same - the breaking of cellular force in the lungs, the chest, the liver; congestion of the liver and the inability for the flow through same - makes for the continued reaction in the body, producing the temperature.
    If the colonics are given (not just the high enema but the colonics) to cleanse the alimentary canal, the eliminations should start with the system and thus reduce the temperature - from a normal way and manner.
    Do not give solid foods to the body through these periods, or while there is temperature.
    Do these, as we find, consistently; and we should find not only rest but the removal of the causes, and thus we may begin those activities that would make for the recuperative forces through the body.
14. We are through with this reading.
