TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [480]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the main conditions are developing very satisfactorily. While there are those disturbances as arise from time to time, with the proper precautions these may be cared for.
3. As to suggestions for cold, congestion as disturbs the body:
4. Cold is an affectation of the mucous membranes and arises from congestion or from infection that enters through the mouth or the breath. Hence spray throat and nasal passages with a weakened solution of Atomidine - teaspoonful to an ounce of distilled water. Keep the body alkaline. And we will find no cold will disturb the system. Do not use the spray at a lower temperature than near to body temperature, but have this warm - not hot; about a temperature of 85 to 90.
5. In alkalinizing the body, make for the eliminations to be alkalinized - as with the use preferably of Milk of Magnesia. Occasionally with same take a few minims - two or three - of Glyco-Thymoline. This will keep the intestinal tract alkalinized and thus prevent any disturbance.
6. The spray as indicated for the nasal passages and throat, that may be taken once a day or twice a day if there is the tendency for sneezing or coughing, will aid in creating a better balance for this body in those disturbances with the circulatory system, adjusting itself to the changing conditions by the developments of the body with the body - or of the foetus.
7. In these manners as we find, with other precautions, we will gain the better conditions for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) How often should the Milk of Magnesia and Glyco- Thymoline be taken?
   (A) Tablespoonful at a dose about two or three times a week, in the evening preferably, and in one of the doses during the week take a few drops of the Glyco.
10. (Q) Have annoying itching of the abdomen.
    (A) This is a natural effect of the expanding tissue owing to the developments of the body. A gentle massage or rub with equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh will be most helpful. Not too much; gentle, but just what the body will absorb of same will reduce those disturbances that are necessarily or naturally local, and are the expanding tissues of the body-functions. But with the use of these we will find the muscular forces, as become relaxed by same, will be kept in better force and less disturbance to the abdominal area itself.
11. (Q) How often should this rub be given?
    (A) Once or twice a week, dependent upon how often there is the disturbance, see?
12. (Q) Have had frequent nose bleeds.
    (A) As indicated, this is an adjustment of the circulation - and with the sprays this should be adjusted.
13. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Keep those attitudes mentally. Be precautious, but be active as conditions permit - and we will find developments will be normal.
14. We are through for the present.
