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.
3. As we find, there is the acute condition of the muscular forces from the effect of incoordination between the upper and lower hepatic circulation, - or that as has been termed by some lumbago, or the effect of uric acid in portions of the eliminating system that causes disturbance.
4. Make immediately quite a strong Watermelon Seed Tea. Begin taking this in little sips, or a teaspoonful at least every two hours, until there is seen decided reaction of same through the activity upon the kidneys.
5. Over the kidney area, but rather high up, apply a Belladonna Plaster. (If you will use Energine you won't have any trouble taking it off; otherwise, it may be a lot of trouble!) Put the plaster on, though, good and tight.
6. Apply heat, of course, over the plaster area; preferably of heavy salt, heated - make a pad of same.
7. Have a good evacuation through the alimentary canal by the use of colon enemas; this means using a colon tube. Have the water body-temperature, using a salt and soda solution; at least a level teaspoonful of soda and a heaping teaspoonful of salt in a gallon of water. In the last water (not in that which has the salt and soda) a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart of water.
8. These - by the time the enema has been taken, if the others are kept up for three to six doses - should bring relief.
9. After there has been brought relief, have a correction made in the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal AND through the upper dorsal and lower cervical areas.
10. Thus we should find near to normal forces coming back for this body.
11. Have these corrective treatments about twice a week until - by the administrator of the adjustments - there is seen to be normal alignment.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What caused the terribly bad taste in the mouth about 3 weeks ago?
    (A) The incoordination between the upper and lower activity of the hepatic circulation.
    It's a very good indication of how those very influences that are disturbing the body are beginning their congestion.
14. (Q) What makes the body tighten up as if under great strain, especially around the liver and through the diaphragm?
    (A) Just as indicated, - this disturbance in the muscular forces ABOUT the activity of the ducts and glands from the liver and kidney circulation.
15. (Q) What changes are taking place just now in this body, and how should they be taken care of physically?
    (A) As just indicated, - and those activities of same are to be kept in the normal reactions.
16. (Q) Should this body perspire more freely than it does, and how can it give off more of its waste through the skin?
    (A) By the Fume Baths, - which would be very well for the body; or blanket sweats.
17. (Q) How often?
    (A) Whenever you have a bad taste in the mouth!
18. (Q) Please tell how the bowels can be made to act more naturally?
    (A) As indicated, if there is the stimulation to the activities of the hepatic circulation through those corrections that should be made in the specific centers, and watching the diet and using vegetable and fruit juices rather than cathartics as eliminants.
19. (Q) Why is it that all foods seem to create gas either in the stomach or the bowels?
    (A) The incoordination between the upper and lower hepatic circulation, or lack of flow of the gastric forces to the digestive forces in the pyloric end of the stomach itself. And the corrections of these will make for those inclinations and tendencies for a better coordination in this direction. And there is the need of the use of fruit juices and raw vegetable juices until there is the full activity. Combination of lettuce, carrots, cabbage and such - the JUICES ground and taken from same, see?
20. (Q) Even a teaspoonful of potato affects the liver, causing a hardening for 24 hours or more. Why is this?
    (A) Then leave 'em off! Just don't take 'em! Should know better! Anything that comes from below the ground almost, save such as carrots OR the oyster plant, will affect the body near the same way; and these don't try to eat them cooked eat the juices or the raw!
21. (Q) Should I eat raw artichoke?
    (A) If you don't eat too many! Until the corrections are made.
22. (Q) Is the menstruation period about over with?
    (A) About four to six months yet. [See 404-14, Par. 11-A.]
23. (Q) Is Zilatone good for the body?
    (A) Be better after the corrections, but don't use this unless there is the failure on the part of the fruit juices and the raw vegetable juices.
24. (Q) What fruit juices are laxative for this body?
    (A) ALL of them if taken properly; especially figs, prunes, raisins.
25. (Q) Why is the body so tired always on awakening, after apparently a good night's sleep?
    (A) Poisons - incoordination between the liver and the kidneys.
    Do as has been indicated, if we would bring the better forces for this body.
26. We are through with this Reading.
