TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. Conditions are much improved from some of those we have had with this body, yet because of poor eliminations we find in the present there are those tendencies for toxic conditions to produce rheumatic or neuritic-rheumatic effects. For these areas form the combination of toxic conditions generally and neuritic conditions specifically. Thus we have acute disturbances in the extremities, as in elbows and knees, at times in the feet and in the shoulders.
4. What is needed first is to set up better eliminations. We would begin first taking broken doses of Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin. Take about half a teaspoonful every hour. Even if it requires a whole bottle or more to set up eliminations, take it. Preferably take this over a week end, this would be better for the body. Don't take more than that, but do take it regularly until there is a thorough cleansing of the system.
5. When there has been a flushing, then take at least two heaping teaspoonsful of Sal Hepatica.
6. Through these periods beware of taking sweets - cake or candies, especially chocolates or any sweets except perhaps a little honey. Preferably use only liquids and semi-liquids as foods. Have plenty of citrus fruit, and plenty of cereals preferably cooked cereals - but these alternated not taking the cereal and citrus fruits on the same day, but alternate them - taking great quantities to assist in flushing the system.
7. Then build up the system by adding KalDak as a tonic for the body; taking a level teaspoonful of morning before breakfast; this dissolved in hot water and then the tumbler filled with milk. Stir thoroughly and drink.
8. In the evening before retiring take the same amount of KalDak again. This will not only aid in eliminating conditions but in building strength for the body.
9. Do that.
10. These properties will also aid in the lung condition. Through the winter it would be well for the body to continue the use of the Apple Brandy inhalant. Inhale the fumes from this at least twice a day; just the gas that evaporates from the Apple Brandy. Keep the keg setting close to the radiator or fire, and morning and evening inhale the fumes. In the morning before leaving for the office, inhale the fumes. Then skip out in the open air and breathe deeply. When returning in the evening, inhale - and rest a few minutes.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) In case there is a recurrence of long periods of menstruation as a year ago, what shall I do?
    (A) As indicated for the body, use the douches - one period the Glyco-Thymoline - at least a tablespoonful to a quart of water body temperature and the next period Atomidine - have a teaspoonful to a quart and a half of water body temperature. Use only a fountain syringe.
13. (Q) Why do arms pain so much more when lying down?
    (A) Circulation is slowed, and thus the pressure is the greater.
    Do as indicated and we will find better conditions for the body.
14. We are through with this reading.
    [Question submitted which did not get asked: "Have all the tendencies to T.B. ceased and the trouble in right side over liver cleared up?"]
