TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [632]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, the conditions - while changes are coming about - are continuing on the improve, or on that way which - IF there will be kept those things that will assist in the dissipation and eliminations - will continue as yet upon the improve.
3. These are conditions as to be warned against in the present, and these - as we find - would be those correct applications to make; in the present conditions:
4. Be mindful that there are NOT in the diet those things that make for the accumulations of gas; which arise from starches and sugars.
5. We would NOT continue the use of both the Nitre AND the Syrup of Squill. We WOULD use the Squill; NOT the Nitre, in the present.
6. We find that the stimulations should be more with the Ash taken the more often now, with the VIOLET ray rather than the ultra-violet; though we would have the ultra-violet at least twice each week - used more specifically over the lung and the stomach area; this to be the ultra-violet, however, and NOT the Sun Ray light. Take the Ash each day - one- eighth of a grain; and five to ten minutes afterward apply the violet ray along the spine and along the lower portion of the lung (in front, see?).
7. In the manipulations, that we would continue having, make those adjustments that the drainages from the 11th and 12th dorsal make for alleviating those tendencies for congestion in the bladder, or in the clitoris specific.
8. If it becomes necessary - from the temperature or from the drainages becoming such as to hinder the eliminations through the bladder and the activities of same, MAKE for the drainages - such as HAVE been necessary. [GD's note: Dr. Robertson had to relieve her bladder by use of catheter.]
9. These conditions, then, are as this, as we find in the present. These have been indicated in the X-rays: The congestion in the lungs is from cold, and the dissipation through the eliminating system of the poisons.
10. Hence that which will be an antiseptic for the bronchi, for the lung and for the tubes, will be found in the use of the inhalant that would be compounded for THIS body in THIS manner:
11. To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

    Oil of Eucalyptus.....................15 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp (not turpentine,
but Rectified OIL of Turp)..........5 minims,
Benzosol in solution..................10 minims,
Rectified Creosote.....................1 minim,
Tincture of Benzoin...................10 minims,
Tolu in solution......................20 minims.

    Keep this in a container twice the quantity or size of the quantity, having the connections where this may be breathed THROUGH the nostril and in the mouth into the lungs. Do not inhale this too deep at first, but shake before inhaling - and a deep breath into the lungs.
12. Do NOT inhale the fumes from the brandy. DO use this in small quantities internally as a strengthening for the body.
13. After each meal (after each REGULAR meal; but eat something at the meal time, don't make it all between meals!), take internally very SMALL quantities of Al-Caroid - to prevent the gastric juices becoming over charged as to form gas. This has caused the pressure on the heart; and stimulated not only the pressure but made for a pressure on the lungs. Take NOT MORE than a quarter teaspoonful (or just a point on a teaspoon) in a whole glass of water, first dissolving the powder in a small amount of water before adding the full glass. This would be the dosage after each regular meal.
14. We would have periods (that is, every few days) when there would be used the enemas to cleanse the alimentary canal. Especially should these be given whenever there is the weakening from a strain on the body.
15. To be sure, keep the Cod Liver Oil; and the diet as indicated. Beware of sweets and of starch.
16. DO these, and - as we find - we would continue in an improvement for the body; and should bring better conditions.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What should be done for the condition of the urine?
    (A) As indicated, this stimulation should be the greater portion of the manipulations - in the 11th and 12th dorsal area.
19. (Q) Is there serious danger from the present conditions of the body?
    (A) There will EVER be serious conditions until the poisons from the engorgement in the kidneys and the spleen are entirely dissipated - and ELIMINATED. For, should poisons become localized - either in the lung or in the alimentary canal, or in the bladder - it will be too bad!
20. (Q) Will you give an analysis of the X-ray plates taken on this body, [632], which are now in the office of Dr. Dobbins, 551 Fifth Ave., N.Y.C.?
    (A) Yes, we have many plates here! Ones on [632]. Yes. Here we find indications in the lower portion of the lungs of congestion, though the upper portions are clear - no trace of tubercle or of infectious forces, other than the poisons. In the stomach area we find the engorgement of the spleen, gas pressures in both the right and in the left side, especially in the left side. In the left kidney is an engorgement. This, as we find, is of the nature rather in the vacuum ABOVE the kidney than the kidney itself; though this has in its body been involved but no core or center or calculi in either the kidney or the spleen. The condition indicates dissipation of the plethora, inflammation of the circulation of lymph through these bodies themselves - that is, kidney, spleen.
21. (Q) On the body should the oil packs be continued, and how often?
    (A) At least every other day; if necessary EVERY day; - and these should be as warm as the body may stand.
    If there should occur again the quickening of the pulsation or the heartbeat, dilate the rectum to relieve the gas pressure; or use the properties as indicated in Al-Caroid to produce the release from the stomach area, see? But both may need attention at times.
    Should there appear discoloration in fingertips or in face, put the body in warm water and massage extremities fast - or quickly.
22. (Q) Is Dr. Robertson of Forest Hills following the proper treatment?
    (A) We have changed the treatment here. Stimulate this area indicated, only making for the relaxations in the other areas in the cervical and lumbar - but stimulate the 11th and 12th dorsal. This is also indicated in the X-ray.
23. (Q) Should salt packs be continued?
    (A) Salt packs should be continued; also the rub over the kidney and the lower lumbar area.
24. (Q) How much exercise should the body take?
    (A) Not a great deal of exercise; but in the open as much as possible or plausible.
25. (Q) What type of sweets, or what sweets can the child take to satisfy her appetite?
    (A) What sweets can the BODY take; it's not a child! Honey! Preferably honey with the comb, or in the honeycomb. [GD's note: This question asked by Mrs. Kahn.]
26. (Q) Can artichoke bread be taken? [GD's note: This question suggested by Mr. Kahn.]
    (A) Can be taken, but it wouldn't be very well for the body!
27. (Q) Are there any other suggestions for the better physical conditions of the body?
    (A) Be patient. Be prayerful. Be earnest. For the healing influences must come from within. He that giveth taketh away. He that seeketh in earnest findeth.
28. We are through for the present.
