TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. The acute conditions in the present are arising from cold, congestion, torpidity of liver; and the increase in circulation and temperature of the body is disturbing.
4. We would apply an Antiphlogistine Pack, at least a quarter of an inch thick, on the back - between the shoulders. In the frontal portion of the chest, and the areas just below or just at the bronchi and trachea, apply an Onion Poultice. This should be mixed with a little yellow corn meal, cooked just a bit to make it adhere.
5. These Packs should be applied at least twice between now and ten to twelve o'clock tomorrow morning.
6. Take small quantities - half a teaspoonful - of Syrup of Squill.
7. These do.
8. Following this, set up the eliminations with a saline eliminant as a good dose of Sal Hepatica or the like.
9. After these eliminations have been set up well, do have colonic irrigations - and we will eliminate this disturbance, we will quiet the heart's activity and the pressures produced in the extremities.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What causes the back, the right side and hip to hurt so much, and the abdomen?
    (A) Pressures from poisons, through congestion in liver, and disturbed circulation - or temperature in same.
    Do these things as indicated, and we will make better conditions for this body.
12. We are through with this reading.
