TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [303]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while there is much to be desired, in the way of improvements through the body, in the main conditions are not wholly unsatisfactory; yet not altogether good.
4. Those disturbances and those natures of the resistances in the body are not given as full time for recuperation as they should be given. Thus we find there are periods when the body almost collapses from fatigue. Yet there are resistances being builded, when there is the adherence to those suggestions that have been indicated.
5. These we would not change in the present. Keep up the rubs, take those stimulations that have been indicated from time to time.
6. Keep the eliminations well with the suggestions that have been indicated. These we would do.
7. When there are those greater disturbances through the lack of proper eliminations through alimentary canal, put over the abdomen for thirty to thirty-five minutes a mixture of a tablespoonful - half and half Tartaric Acid and Baking Soda - spread on a damp gauze and applied.
8. Then massage the abdominal area afterwards, thoroughly, with the Peanut Oil. These will relieve those tensions and aid in stimulating better eliminations.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What is cause and remedy for backache, especially above the coccyx area?
    (A) The lack of strength and vitality. The better would be to rest. This the body will not do, but then apply or massage the oils that have been indicated, of an evening, to rest and strengthen the body.
11. (Q) How may I get rid of this cold?
    (A) Get up better eliminations.
12. (Q) How may I clear up the wheezing in my right lung?
    (A) This naturally comes from weakness and the general debilitation. A few drops of Compound Tincture of Benzoin will relieve the wheezing - this taken internally.
13. (Q) What is cause and relief for coldness and aching in ankles and back of limbs?
    (A) Weakness and lack of circulation. REST! Do those things as we have outlined, being as consistent as practical. The body is not always practical with itself, but DO those things indicated, for the better conditions of the body.
14. (Q) Have my kidneys and liver recovered from the effect of the sunburn; if not, what shall I do to bring about a normal condition of my body?
    (A) Keep up those rubs and better eliminations. There is not a full recovery, but much bettered. Of course, both of these - their distress is the attempting to eliminate the poisons produced by those conditions brought about in the body. And the soda and tartaric acid will aid in this, in the alimentary canal.
    Do not use this too often, else it may cause too great a tendency for too often movement in those areas over which this is applied.
15. (Q) Please give a diet that will aid in producing strength and vitality.
    (A) This has been outlined again and again. Just look up some of these! Just adhere to those things given. This the body very well knows. Adhere to those. Those things that are easily assimilated, and those things that are body and blood building - these we would use the more.
16. (Q) How often should I take colonics?
    (A) This depends on how often they are needed. These are things that are used as aids. They are seldom curatives, unless there are those measures taken to aid in correcting the cause of the disturbance. When there is lack of the eliminations through alimentary canal, then to cleanse the colon have the irrigation. Whether this is necessary once a week, twice a week, once in six weeks or once in six months, depends upon the manner in which the body treats itself. But these are well to be used when needed. If they are given body-temperature with the water used, and with the cleansing solutions in same, the salt and soda in proportions indicated, and the Glyco as the purifier - or the like - these will not be weakening but will help. But too often given, too cold or too hot a water, they will be disturbing.
17. (Q) What is cause and relief for aching in back of neck and head, and in eyes?
    (A) Tiredness! REST - would be the better! Again we would give, use those rubs and be CONSISTENT with self. We are thru with this Reading.
