TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. The vitality and energies of this body in the present are not good. And there are the needs to produce better eliminations to cause betterments for the body. This will require that the body NOT attempt to overexercise itself; else these applications as we find necessary in the present may become too severe.
4. This does not mean nor indicate that there is to be NO activity, but don't tire out self too much.
5. The neuritic reactions all arise from the general pressures produced by the need for better eliminations, as in the wrist, hip, limbs.
6. As we find, it would be better to take Eno Salts daily. Begin with a level teaspoonful of morning before any meal is taken. Take for five or seven days, then leave off three to four days, - then take again.
7. Also apply daily the saturated solution of Epsom Salts over the areas where there is the catch, or the pain in the joints or limbs, or the body. Apply these hot. Do not put heat on same, as from electric pads or other heat. When the pack has become crusted, or dried, remove; bathe off, and massage with a little peanut oil.
8. Take daily, at least twice daily, a teaspoonful of Beef Juice, as an aid to better assimilation. Don't take it at one gulp, but let the body be a minute or two minutes in sipping the spoonful. Have it warm and seasoned to taste.
9. Each time after taking the beef juice, take about two drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in a tablespoonful of water, as a strengthening for the body.
10. The beef juice may be taken with a cracker, if desired.
11. Do these, as we find, for the better conditions of the body.
12. Though these are trying, they will not be so much if there is not the overexercise, as indicated. And the eliminations are needed, if the conditions would be improved.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Any suggestion for the eyes?
    (A) The general vitality is that most needed for the helpfulness in the eyes. The ability to assimilate is that which will give the greater strength to the body.
    When there is a little improvement, Zyrone will aid with all of these conditions - as an aid with the beef juice; for it carries iron AND the B-Complex in abundance.
15. (Q) Any suggestions for diet, other than beef juice?
    (A) The regular foods that agree most and best with the body. These properties indicated should aid in giving a little better appetite; and the beef juice may be taken two or three times a day. But do take the two to three drops of Pepsin AFTER the beef juice is taken, - and take this in water; it should give a better appetite and soon give strength, even with the drain produced by stimulating alimentary canal action.
    But this should eliminate the poisons. And use Epsom Salts Packs when there is pain in any of the joints of the body. Do not add heat to same, but keep as warm as the body can well stand when applied.
16. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 569-25 on 3/15/37.
2. 11/30/42 "My eyes as well as my whole body are in bad shape. I haven't been well for over a wk. I was sick in bed Sun. a wk. ago, was taken with a misery in my left side and a terrific headache. [760] was up at [1005]'s and our phone went dead (of all times) and no one here to do anything for me but Mama and you should have seen her trying to wait on me. She can't get around without her walking cane. You can just imagine how that distressed me and I couldn't even get up without fainting... I have taken everything that I think will help me, and now I'm taking mineral oils, a tablespoonful twice a day. The trouble seems to be in my intestines and in the lower part of my bowels on the left side, and I have spells with my left hip, pains that run down to my feet; in fact, there isn't a joint in me that doesn't ache. I'm really sick enough to be in bed but I just can't do it, for [760] has so much to do."

REPORTS

1. 12/11/42 "As I'm feeling better than I have for 3 wks. I will tell you in my poor way how much I do appreciate your rdg...my hip is perfectly at ease and the other troubles that were really worrying me are so much improved. What I can't understand is why I keep feeling so weak and shaky. I can be perfectly quiet and will just break out perspiring and it will run off my face as though it was the hottest day in July. I'm taking the tr. as the rdg. said... I have a terrible rushing of wind, it seems, through my head for a few minutes at times - I seem to get blind, then it passes off. Well, I don't know what is going to become of me - I know I'm not right. I just don't seem to have any pep, everything is a drudge - I don't want to be bothered with anything... [760] was here to help me cook [1508] some dinner, and even then I was a nervous wreck when it was ready to eat. It just isn't right for me to be like this... I'm always ready to eat, but it doesn't stay with me long... I'm starved from one meal to the other."
2. 1/12/43 She obtained 569-27 in re tr. and/or surgery for cancerous tumor of the uterus.
