TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time ([571], in the Basement Sewing Class at ... School, Norfolk, Va.), with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, conditions in many respects are much better than when we had this body here before; yet there are other disturbances which threaten, the reactions of which might bring acute conditions as related to especially the caecum areas.
4. These as we find need not necessarily become a disturbing influence, if there are the precautions taken to cleanse the colon, - not by too great a purgative but by the use of heavy Castor Oil Packs over the area of the caecum and the gall duct also; as well as the use of that which has been indicated for the removal of those tendencies for adhesions in the lacteal ducts, but more heavily over the appendicial area.
5. After about two of the Packs being taken, one one day, one the next, for an hour, - then in the evening of that same day - after the Pack has been used, you see - take internally a tablespoonful of Olive Oil; and do the same the next day.
6. Then have an osteopathic adjustment for the stimulating of the ganglia center from which the appendix obtains its impulse, see? - in the lower portion of the 8th dorsal, 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal.
7. And then be very mindful there is a full evacuation of the alimentary canal each day.
8. And these disturbances will disappear.
9. This will also aid in the correction of other conditions that have disturbed the body, towards the irregularity in the functionings of the system. Also the condition of the general nervous system will be aided.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What should be done about the slight return occasionally of same spasmodic condition?
    (A) As just indicated, this is a part of those same conditions, but is more acute in the caecum area in the present.
12. (Q) What should be used as a laxative, after the Olive Oil has been taken, to keep regular eliminations?
    (A) SERUTAN would be very well, but this should be taken for regular periods. Take a heaping teaspoonful EACH day for a month at a time, then leave off a few weeks, and then take again for another month, see? to regulate these activities and stimulate better peristaltic movements.
13. We are through with this Reading.
