TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [413]; this we have had before.
2. A great many changes we find in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Most of these are for the betterment.
3. As we find in the present, there needs to be a little adherence to those suggestions we have given for the corrections in portions of the cerebro-spinal system, through the activities either of the physical nature or from the applications of outside influence; and to keep the body nearer in an alkalin reacting condition through these periods of distress in portions of the body; and we will rid the body through the bronchi, through the throat, of those conditions or tendencies for cold and congestion, and the pains in other portions of the body will be prevented from becoming severe; and a normalcy will be kept.
4. Make for the proper eliminations from or through the alimentary canal by emptying the colon with the enemas, at least once a month or oftener when it becomes necessary; for keeping a cleansing in this respect will keep a nearer normal condition for the body, [413].
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Should I continue treatment previously outlined?
   (A) Those for some corrections where there has been the tendency to slip back, in the upper dorsal and cervical area, would be well. Not so many will be required in the present.
7. (Q) What should be done to build resistance against colds?
   (A) Keep the body more alkalin. This may be done by taking food values that are more alkalin in their reaction, and occasionally - say once a week (but do not take it every day) - take a small quantity of plain baking soda; using Glyco-Thymoline as a mouth wash, and occasionally swallow a few drops, for it's an intestinal antiseptic - and there is none better for keeping the eliminations throughout the body, tending toward alkalinity in the alimentary canal - where most disorders arise.
8. (Q) What should I do for present condition of cold?
   (A) Make an expectorant, as this: (To be sure, we would keep the alkalinity in the system, but this for the specific condition, see?)
   To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add:

   Oil of Pine Needles.............20 minims,
Syrup of Horehound.............1/2 ounce,
Syrup of Ipecac.................10 minims.

   Shake this together before the dose is taken. When there's the tickling in the throat, or the tendency for cough, take a half a teaspoonful as a dose.
   In about the third day it will be all gone!
9. (Q) Any other advice for this body at this time?
   (A) In the physical, keep these as we have outlined; and we will keep the better physical conditions; for the general reactions are much improved from those we have had before.
   In the mental attitudes and aptitudes, keep that as we have outlined, in studying to show self approved unto Him in whom thou hast put thine trust, knowing that He is able to keep that committed unto Him against any circumstances that may arise in thine experience.
   LOVE one another.
10. We are through for the present.
