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.
3. As we find, physically - while the body is not at all easy, and there is a great deal of breaking up and a great deal more than is altogether being eliminated of the poisons, the more disturbance is the mental attitude of the body respecting same.
4. Keep close to those suggestions that have been made. While the injections [cobra venom] and the taking of the sulfa drug [sulfa drug spray] do not coordinate wholly, these are being brought better into balance by those determinations builded - that the body is losing some hold on. [See 1/06/43 849-67 Par. R2, in re cobra venom AND sulfa drug spray.]
5. Do keep up that attitude of hopefulness, of helpfulness, of the use of self in a glory to the Infinite in the experience.
6. Do keep the packs and the sweats occasionally. These will help eliminate.
7. Do keep the massages as much as is practical, and the rest of those suggestions as to activities as well as to mental attitudes; and we will find these will bring better material, mental and spiritual forces for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Have been unable to secure the ichthyol. What should be done for the sinus?
   (A) Those applications being made, as indicated, are gradually working together. Do use the warm Glyco-Thymoline as a wash and as a gargle, and even take some internally. These will be the better and keep down the infections through other portions of the system. Use this as near full strength as practical. In the beginning it may be necessary to dilute some, - not hot but warm, when it is snuffed or when it is used in the spray, or however it is used.
10. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Keep that attitude of being good for something.
11. We are through with this Reading.
