TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [538]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are those conditions that disturb the body both mentally and physically. Those activities in the physical forces of the body, as has been indicated in times back, are showing a greater amount of irritation and the congestions that have been indicated in other portions of the body are tending to make for a settlement in those areas and those activities of the organs of the pelvis and as related to the liver and the kidneys.
3. As we would find, in making applications for the removal of these distresses, we would use a vaginal douche with the electrical treatments that have been indicated; the vaginal douche being of a mild antiseptic, see; as Glyco or Lavoris. Either of these should be tepid when used. And use the electrical forces as indicated would make for the greater improvement in these directions.
4. As for the general physical forces, those in the matter of the diet as related to the body-building are the better, keeping - of course - those towards an alkalinity for the whole system, and the eliminations and those tendencies for the laxatives should be more alkalin in their reactions. High enemas taken at times, using the soda and salt as indicated - a heaping teaspoonful of soda with a level teaspoonful of salt in a gallon or a gallon and a half of water. These would be much preferable to so much of the acid-producing laxatives which tend to make for the leaving of fecal forces in the colon area itself, in the pockets as may be indicated by the tenderness or the soreness that may be seen in the descending colon and a portion of the transverse colon. These would relieve these conditions and bring the better physical forces for this body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) In referring to the electrical forces, does that mean the violet ray applicator?
   (A) The violet ray vaginal applicator. This should be taken as indicated, two or three times each week for a minute or a minute and a half.
7. (Q) When laxatives are taken, what are the best for this body?
   (A) Those that are alkaline in their reaction.
8. (Q) How is the condition in the lungs and pleura area?
   (A) With the general tendencies for acidity in the blood, and the irritations, these make for a tendency for adhesions, see? While there's no active force there at the present, these same CHARACTERS of conditions are TENDING to show in the organs of the pelvis. Hence the manner in which these should be eliminated.
   We would, then, make for a general alkalinity through the whole body. The electrical forces and the douches and the eliminations from the alimentary canal by the high enemas, these we would do at regular intervals to keep the better forces for the body.
9. (Q) Anything needed for the kidneys or bladder?
   (A) As indicated, these are inflammations that arise from sympathetic conditions, and as these corrections are made and as the acidity is reduced these should be helped or aided.
10. (Q) Anything for the blood?
    (A) Purifying the assimilating forces will make for the better conditions for the blood supply.
11. (Q) Any advice regarding the mental?
    (A) Keep those attitudes that have been indicated, of the helpful and the hopeful influences in those surroundings and those activities, and these make for the better conditions and reactions for the body.
12. (Q) Do the glasses need changing?
    (A) The glasses need changing.
13. (Q) What else will help the eyes?
    (A) The reduction of the acidity in the system.
14. (Q) Any other advice for the body?
    (A) These we would do in the present.
15. We are through with this reading.
