TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - we have had this before, you see. The body is not very good in its physical forces, at the present time, for the poor elimination over the whole system, caused by congestion and the improper oxygen within the system, leaves these forms of toxins in the system that cause distress to some of the muscular forces, produced by the taxation to the centers governing the portions so affected.
2. (Q) Do you find other abnormal conditions in this body?
   (A) No, these are the conditions that we find in the body.
   The congestion shows over many portions of the body, as we see through the lung forces, through the plexus that govern the locomotory action of the upper portion of the body, and the muscular and tissue forces, suffer from this impregnation of toxins to these lymphatic cells, and cause the distress to the body in the efficiency through the physical forces and actions.
   The body should have more open air and oxygen for the system, and exercise therein.
   For the local conditions, and for a solvent of the toxins now in the body, we would take those properties as found in TORIS compound, as is given here, and keep the body with the full action of the liver, by cathartics of a cardiacal nature - such as would be found in:

   Senna...........................2 grains,
Licorice Compound...............1 grain,
Prodofyllum [Podophillin].....1/2 grain.

   Three doses of this would be taken in three days.
   Keep the stimulus to the system to remove the condition from the system, then the body must overcome the inertia of the physical if it would become physically efficient.
3. (Q) Would it be well for this body to use the violet ray?
   (A) Not under present conditions. No. This becomes the over-stimulus to the nerve centers, and localizes the condition in the centers over the system, without reducing the condition producing it, see.
4. (Q) Will this treatment remedy the condition in the shoulder?
   (A) We have just given it. When we remove the causes, we remove the condition.
5. (Q) Have you anything else to say about this body?
   (A) There might be many things said. We have nothing else to say here.
6. (Q) What should be the diet for this body?
   (A) With these properties as we have give there will be very little diet for the time. Those that are easy of digestion, and that do not work a hardship on any of the organs, but those that are solvents for all of the conditions - found in fruit, vegetables of easy character, grapefruit, berries, tomatoes, spinach, eggs and such. No stimulants. No coffee or tea should be taken.
7. (Q) Should body eat meat at all?
   (A) Not under these conditions. Fish or fowl may be eaten at times.
