TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the main the conditions are improving; while specifically those disturbances where there is the swelling and where there are the inclinations for the system to eliminate through broken tissue in the lower limbs become somewhat more inflamed.
3. This is an effect of excesses of poisons in the system.
4. We would cleanse the alimentary canal with first the Simmons Liver Regulator, and then follow same with the Castoria in not too broken doses but not too much; rather as a flushing, or a teaspoonful about every hour until the bowels move and flush good. After there has been the flushing with the Simmons Liver Regulator, of course, begin with the Castoria.
5. Also we would find it most helpful to keep the Mullein Stupes but in between bathe off the portions with a tuft of cotton and Tolu Solution, so as to heal and to make for assisting the circulation to absorb and not cause so much irritation.
6. The rest we would keep much in the manner as has been indicated.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What proportion of Tolu in Solution?
   (A) It is just the regular Tolu in Solution, or the Fluid Extract.
9. (Q) How much of Simmons Liver Regulator?
   (A) This will have to be governed by the body, as it has taken same at times, but enough to act upon the system even though it may require the second dose, have the activity from the Liver Regulator before - and do not begin for at least six to eight hours after with the Castoria.
10. We are through with this reading.

    Wired also:
    "Flush system with Simmons Liver Regulator, even though necessary for two doses. Then begin with teaspoonful Castoria every hour until thorough action. Continue Stupes, but between these bathe affected parts with tuft of cotton and Tolu Solution. Continue rest as indicated."
