TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there are the effects that are indicated by pressures upon the nervous system; causing such severe headaches, with the aching through portions of the upper body (as through a portion of the lung and shoulder, and the acute conditions).
4. These effects are from toxic forces, arising from disturbances through the alimentary canal, - especially colon, - and some of the old disturbances that have been indicated.
5. We find that the better applications in the present would be a series of the Eno Salts (the fruit salts). Take this for ten days, at least; then rest a few days and then take for ten days more, and so on.
6. But with same take occasionally the COLON douches, see?
7. Also we would use or take the compounds that have been indicated, with the Wild Ginseng and the Wild Ginger, and those combinations that have been indicated for the better conditions through the activity of the system. [See 340-23 giving colitis tonic.]
8. After the use of the Eno Salts (or in the periods when same is not active, you see), it would be well to Use SERUTAN as a bulk, - which will be helpful in keeping the proper character of effluvium through the colon and the alimentary canal.
9. The diets we would keep very close to those things that have been indicated.
10. Do that.
11. Occasionally we would have the [osteopathic] adjustments; but the necessary forces WITHIN THE SYSTEM are most needed in the present. The adjustments are only needed to keep the centers relaxed, from which impulses arise for all portions of the system; and this once a week should be sufficient, until there is entire relief of the condition.
12. Do that.
13. (Q) Was the acute pain in left side pleurisy or neuritis, or what?
    (A) Neuritis.
    Do as has been indicated, and we will find better influences and conditions for this body.
14. We are through with this Reading.
