TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [555].
2. As we find, the conditions that disturb the better physical forces of the body are of an acute nature arising from poisons that have accumulated in the system, aided by those conditions that have arisen from infectious forces in injuries in portions of the body.
3. These, then, need the local applications that are of the greater antiseptic nature; and with same should be used those compounds in Resinol.
4. Bathe the back portion of the neck, head and to the waistline, with rub alcohol.
5. Begin immediately with Fletcher's Castoria; a teaspoonful every hour until a whole quantity of the 900 drops has been taken.
6. Then immediately (after finishing the Castoria) take two Alophen pellets, which carry with same sufficient quantity of the strychnine to make for a change in the activity of the circulation.
7. Do these and, as we will find, we will meet the existent needs in this physical body of [555].
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the cause of high temperature right now?
   (A) As given, inflammation from the condition of poisons in system, exercised by the activities in injured forces in portions of the body.
10. (Q) What causes lumps on head and neck when having an ordinary headache?
    (A) From the nerve forces, that make for the localization of the accentuated conditions from pressures created, in the temperature and those conditions that follow same.
    For at least forty-eight hours there should be no food values taken save citrus fruit juices (preferably lemons and grapefruit); and after that begin with first liquids that carry the concentrated vegetable juices, and then buttermilk.
11. (Q) What injuries are referred to that caused the troubles?
    (A) Those to the lower portions of the body.
12. (Q) What antiseptics should be used?
    (A) Bichloride. Hot.
13. (Q) And the Resinol should follow the bichloride applications?
    (A) Then apply Resinol.
14. (Q) Any other advice for the better welfare of the body?
    (A) These, as we have indicated, are acute; that is, they are conditions that have arisen from immediate activities in the physical forces of the body.
    These treatments adhered to and followed as we have given, as we find, will - within the thirty-six hours - bring relief for the body.
15. (Q) How often should the alcohol rubs be given?
    (A) About three times between now and ten o'clock.
16. We are through with this reading.
