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, we have the body here, [462].
3. Many changes do we find in the general physical conditions of this body from those as we have had here before.
4. The inclinations for a hardening or a filling of portions of the digestive tract becomes the greater disturbance to the body, in hindering the eliminations through the activity of the excretory functionings of the liver as well as the kidneys.
5. As we find, here the combination of two juices taken alternately would be preferable for this body, and for this particular body both should be cooked - but in Patapar Paper.
6. One day take about an ounce of Beet Juice; this means the tops also.
7. The next day take an ounce of Carrot Juice; this does not include the tops.
8. The juices from these are to be prepared fresh each day. Do not attempt to keep them from one day to the next, - it would be injurious rather than helpful; but the activities of this combination upon the system, with the general activities of the body, will be MOST beneficial.
9. Preferably take these before retiring, or at the evening meal; one taken one day, the other the next.
10. Take them for at least a month. Leave off then for a few days, and then take them again; but the beneficial effects from these will make the body desire to keep them pretty regularly.
11. In the preparation of these, of course, it would be very well that they be cut just before they are wrapped in the Patapar Paper, instead of remaining cut very long beforehand.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Please tell the trouble and cure for the left side.
    (A) This is an after effect of the injury to the structural portions of the body. The elimination of the poisons from the system, through the use of those things as we have just indicated, will aid in keeping this down.
    This rubbed each evening with the equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor, and then hot packs put on same, will be most helpful in assisting the circulation to take away the poisons as accumulations.
14. (Q) Is there any rib broken there?
    (A) Rather it is a muscular condition, though there is a fracture.
15. (Q) What causes stiffness and swelling in joints at times, and what can give quick relief when I suffer from same, also what can bring about a permanent relief?
    (A) As indicated, the poisons from the inactivity of the liver and the kidneys as related to the tendencies for thickening of tissue in the stomach itself. Those properties as indicated are the quickest, the surest, and the longer lasting relief, as we find, - if taken consistently.
16. (Q) What causes the rectal irritation and itching, and what will relieve and finally cure same?
    (A) These come from the hemorrhoids, which is a part of the general effect from lack of proper eliminations. These will be materially aided by the use of those juices; also the local application of Pazo Ointment occasionally - used with the tube, of course, that makes the injection high into the rectal area.
17. (Q) What causes the headaches?
    (A) Worry! and the general nervous conditions from the stomach! These should be materially aided with these juices as indicated for the body to be taken regularly, one used one day, the other the next.
18. (Q) What is a good laxative for this body?
    (A) Eno Salts is the best laxative for this body, for this is of the fruit nature and not mineral, - that would cause disturbance or hardening activities through the conditions in the stomach, as well as through those activities in the liver and the kidneys. This also should be taken in just small doses, almost every day, for periods of a week at a time, and will be most beneficial.
19. (Q) Why can't this body eat cereal and milk in the mornings?
    (A) Condition in the stomach, as indicated.
20. (Q) What should be a good breakfast for this body?
    (A) A cooked cereal, or fresh fruits of various kinds, - or as they change, keep in season with them, - these are very well.
21. (Q) Is tobacco harmful or am I using too much or the wrong brand?
    (A) If it is taken in moderation it is not so harmful for the body.
22. (Q) Am I using my body to exhaustion?
    (A) Under the existing conditions, it tires easily; but we should find abilities and the greater strength when the corrections are made as indicated through those activities of the system.
23. (Q) Should I change my occupation? [See 462-12.]
    (A) Not necessarily. As may be seen by the changes coming about, this may be something that will stand well in stead!
24. (Q) Any other advice?
    (A) Keep the mental and spiritual attitudes in constructive ways of thought; for, the Mind is the Builder.
25. We are through with this Reading.
