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 she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [379]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are fair in the general physical forces.
4. There are indications of there HAVING been the disturbance through the lacteals, the gall duct area, as has been indicated to which the body is inclined, or the tendencies with the gall duct and the liver area.
5. These as we find have responded very well, though there needs to be those precautions.
6. And we would continue with the Oil Packs across the abdominal area, extending to the caecum; with the eliminations increased.
7. In the present, however, colonics would be better than cathartics; for there are poisons sufficient in the colon area in the present to cause some disturbance, especially with those tendencies in the lower portion of the descending colon where there has been, as indicated, the tendency towards prolapsus and the disturbance in the areas from which the disturbance of the hemorrhoids has been a portion of the activity.
8. Hence use the soda and salt solution, with the colon tube; following same with the Glyco-Thymoline as an intestinal antiseptic.
9. Be very well to take a few drops of Glyco-Thymoline internally, each day - in water - for a few days at the time.
10. Then be very careful about lifting and pushing things about; getting overheated and overtaxed or overvexed.
11. And if these are kept and adhered to, we should bring better forces for this body.
12. Of course, it is not necessary to keep the Packs continuously; but so long as there is the least soreness or heaviness in the liver and gall duct area and the caecum, use same.
13. Let the use of the colon tube be not too close together, but sufficient to keep the colon cleansed from the accumulations as naturally arise by the system's reaction to the application of the external influences.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Should the aconite and laudanum be used, too?
    (A) If there is pain, use same. If not, not necessary; but have a thorough massage after each of such Oil Packs. Rather a gentle kneading; not so hard as to cause any disturbance but sufficient to make better peristaltic reaction.
16. (Q) How long at a period should the Oil Pack be kept on?
    (A) For an hour to two hours.
17. (Q) Why is it that after eating I have pains over entire area of abdomen?
    (A) The filling of the upper portion or cardiac portion of the stomach.
    Use a little Alcaroid after each meal.
18. (Q) What about the diet?
    (A) Keep to those foods that are easily assimilated. In these conditions it would be very well to try OUT various things, for at some times some will agree when others will disagree. Not overeat, but sufficient, of course; for remember, with the application of such conditions or applications there is the tendency to make for the activity of the lactic forces through the stomach proper, and these may of themselves cause pain in the abdomen unless food is supplied - see?
19. (Q) Should I continue using battery for condition in throat?
    (A) We would continue using battery.
20. (Q) Cause of pains in head at times?
    (A) From the stomach and gall duct area.
21. (Q) Pains in back?
    (A) Accumulations of poisons through the colon.
22. (Q) Do glasses need changing?
    (A) After there has been a better condition through the general physical forces, it would be very well to have these tested. We do not find an especial change unless other developments arise.
23. (Q) Any other advice for the body?
    (A) These we would do at the present.
24. We are through with this Reading.
