TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [619].
2. As we find, those conditions are as has been indicated; where there is that tautness in muscular forces through poor eliminations AND sore cold; that produce those tendencies for the tendons and muscular forces along the left side of the cerebrospinal system to draw, and thus creates an acute condition through the base of the brain and back of the head.
3. We would use the manipulative forces, as has been indicated, for the relaxing of the body.
4. Then following same massage with equal portions tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil (heating the Oil to add the Myrrh - just what the body will absorb). This will tend to make for the relaxing and stimulate the eliminations or drainages.
5. We would coordinate the coccyx and the lumbar area, and especially relieve pressure in limbs and feet.
6. These we find would be the proper corrections for this body in the present.
7. For an eliminant, we would use the Fletcher's Castoria - three doses of a small-sized bottle would be better for this body than other properties at the present time.
8. However, at times the cathartics that stimulate the secretions from the gall duct and liver activity, or those that carry Caroid and Bile Salts, are necessary - occasionally.
9. Do this, then. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Should the small bottle of Castoria be divided into three doses?
    (A) Just as given. Three doses from one bottle, or a third of a bottle at each dose - this taken one day should be sufficient for the activity to aid not only in the eliminations but to tone the gastric flow through the intesinal system, at the present. This taken during the periods when the manipulations and rubs are being taken, though only taking this one day while the manipulations and rubs should be at least for a week.
11. (Q) Every day?
    (A) Every day, or every other day at least.
12. We are through with this reading.
