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, [849].
3. As we find, conditions are developing along the lines that have been indicated, as application is being made. Some, then, are developing very well, helpful; others not so well; others not much at all.
4. There should be more consistency as to the time and manner of administering those suggestions that have been or may be indicated. That there are helpful forces is indicated in the general welfare, though the specific movement is not as much improved, nor the flow of impulse and the eliminations of those disturbances which hinder the activity in the lower limbs as active as they should be.
5. In the present, then, - these we would do:
6. Keep the application of the low electrical forces carrying the Gold. Leave off taking the gold internally.
7. Continue the Atomidine; this would be increased at those periods or days just previous to giving the Epsom Salts Bath. Five days before the Bath, you see; three to five drops taken each day.
8. The Epsom Salts Bath should be given every ten days, at least. There should be a great deal of massage and stretching done while in the Bath.
9. The osteopathic adjustments or massages should be more in the order and at the times indicated; while the body-physical is under the influence of the Venom, and not afterwards or before. For there needs to be some IRRITATION caused by the adjustments, so that there will be a reaction in those areas where static or atrophied inclinations have been indicated.
10. Instead of the Gold internally, give FREE Germ Wheat Oil; this to be taken EACH day just before the time for retiring; or just before the wine is taken, take three to five to ten drops, - that is, gradually increase from three to ten drops; giving the three drops for three days, then five drops for three days, and ten drops for three days. This should be arranged, you see, so that the time of the Epsom Bath comes at the period when there is the greater quantity of this active in the system, and is assimilated by the system by the aid of the electrical vibrations as well as the Bath and the massages.
11. Do that.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What causes the nausea, and what should be done for it?
    (A) Leave off those things as we have indicated. These changes will make quite a difference in the feelings of the body.
14. (Q) What should be done for the cold and congestion?
    (A) Alkalize; and more of the osteopathic adjustments, including treatments, of course, through shoulders, chest, head and neck.
15. (Q) Any suggestions to relieve the suffocation while in the Bath?
    (A) This will necessarily be affected more by the Germ Oil than other influences; but this is something with which the body has to work! If it is ready and willing to give up, and to stay as it is, then alright! If it desires to make the effort, that there may be the resuscitating forces, then put forth some will, some effort! For, as indicated, the results will depend upon the desires and the working towards same!
16. (Q) Should he stay in bed while the cold is causing difficulty?
    (A) Stay in bed, but have the treatments as indicated; and alkalize with more of soda or any alkalizer. Alka-Seltzer is very good for such, for the body; this taken repeatedly, of course, - but it will necessarily have to be worked off by the massage AND the better eliminants - such as the colonics, of course, or the like.
17. (Q) Has the Epsom Salts Bath been given properly? Has it been prepared correctly, with enough of the Salts, etc?
    (A) These have been very good. There needs to be more of activity of the body itself, you see. For, just as soon as possible, there should be about twice as much water, so that the body would attempt to move about in same.
18. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body?
    (A) Do these for the time being.
19. We are through with this Reading.
