TEXT

1. EC: Yes - we still find there are the effects of those conditions and tendencies for the accumulations of those poisons from the digestive forces, as well as the inclinations for the head and face to swell, and especially when the body gets cold or when there are the tendencies for the MIND to become inclined toward moroseness.
2. As we find, we would cleanse the alimentary canal; preferably with such as the combination or alternation of Syrup of Figs AND Castoria; first one taken and then the other, or these mixed half and half and the dosage taken - about half a teaspoonful every thirty minutes until there is a thorough cleansing of the system.
3. Also we find that the application of the electrical forces following a general manipulative treatment would bring the better normal conditions for the system.
4. And then it is necessary that the body keep out of colds, keeping the feet quite warm; and at times rubbing the feet and lower limbs with any good stimulating activity such as mustard water or an equal combination of Mutton Suet (melted), Turpentine and Camphor.
5. All of these will tend to make for keeping the better conditions.
6. In the diet, - keep away from those things that tend to make for the forming of too great a quantity of acids in the system.
7. Of course, fumes are very well.
8. Do these for the best for this body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What should be done for gaseous condition and severe pain after meals?
    (A) These are from conditions as we have indicated heretofore and here.
    First we would cleanse the system, you see; and then keep those foods that are easily digested or assimilated.
    Alcaroid would be well to be taken after the meals - during the periods when there is such a reaction.
11. We are through with this reading.
