TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now there are a great many changes in the body since we had it before. There are many abnormal conditions in the body - some are better than when we last had it, others are exaggerated, and there are some abnormal conditions that have been aggravated by the condition in the system. Some are brought to bear from within and some are from without.
2. Now, these are conditions to be corrected at the present time: The condition through the lungs, larynx and bronchials is aggravated rather from within than from without. The effect of particles of foods or stimulus in the digestive system has worked a hardship on the properties inhaled in the lungs, larynx and bronchials and makes an aggravated condition there at times, though the whole condition is bettered than when we had this before but with the stimulation through the diet and stimulus to the pneumogastric with the changes in the circulation to the secondary cardiac forces and that to the lungs and bronchials, become overtaxed, producing a choking, full, achy sensation, for the circulation does not relieve or get away, as it were, from the local position fast enough, hence the higher blood pressure, the fuller heart action caused.
3. The inhalant should be kept up, but we would renew the properties as taken and give them in this manner and form at the present time:
4. To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, we would add:

   Eucalyptus Oil............15 minims,
Benzosol...................5 minims,
Balsam of White Pine or
White Pine Oil.........10 minims.

5. This is to be inhaled into the bronchials or mouth and into the system three to four times each day or when necessary to prevent the tickling sensation or the spasmodic condition occurring at times in the bronchials.
6. The condition through the left side and just above the hips where we had strained muscles and ligaments about the lumbars, needs massage, not only with the vibrations or by exercise of the body, but two to three adjustments by the Osteopath or Chiropractor with the osteopathic movements.
7. The ligaments about the knee we would massage well with almost a saturated solution of pure apple vinegar and common table salt, preferably the very heavy salt than that carrying too much of the chalk [calx?]¹ or ingredients to prevent sticking. We rather prefer the baser or common salt for this purpose, see.
8. The vibrations and the exercises for the body are good and, as often as possible, the body should take same with the suggestion to self or self control over the physical conditions, especially, the exercise that will expand the lungs, raising the body at the same time to tiptoes as much as possible, arms extended at right angle from the body.
9. The diet should not be of one particular thing but changed and regulated as needs be - as much lime for the system as is possible, just so it agrees with the body, but all vegetables and properties carrying as much of lime as possible. Fruits, especially apples, pears or grape fruit is of assistance in producing assimilation throughout this system. Do that.
10. (Q) This body received a fall some weeks ago. Where was it injured most?
    (A) The knee cap and the strain to the body where we have given adjustments should be made, the upper lumbar region and to the right side, see. The pains are more in the left. The strains to the lungs are more from indiscreet diet and of stimulation, see, in the stomach than from the fall.
11. (Q) What is this body worried about most, at present?
    (A) The condition of affairs with those associated with him [son [294], etc?] in the work present in hand. This, we see, is working itself out gradually. The body should handle the situation only to care for the present outlook, for condition are adjusting themselves and will bring about the normal and the better circumstances all around, see. The changes that are to come are set and the financial change will be the better for all concerned. Follow along the lines as are outlined and all will be well. Give the correct advice by word and precept and will, and good will come of the condition.
12. (Q) Do you mean that this body should not worry and should wait and let things come as they will?
    (A) They are coming and they will set. Worrying will not change them, see.
13. (Q) How or what forces will bring about this change?
    (A) The forces as are commonly called circumstances and conditions in every day life and business, see. The operations of the business are to be handled by the propositions that have been made to this body, [304], we are speaking of, see, eventually. The forces will work well with the betterment and for all concerned. Do that.
14. (Q) Will [294], [304]'s son, help bring about this change?
    (A) We haven't him here. We see only the moral support is necessary just at the present. Other forces must be decreed after a time, though, as we have given, will be forthcoming when necessary, see.
15. (Q) Will the [294] Art Company be sold at auction?
    (A) It will be taken over, as we have given here, by the forces that have been set in motion, you see.
16. (Q) Have you anything else to say relative to this body?
    (A) Follow the lines as we have given both for the physical effect and for the conditions as arise. Do that. We are through.
