TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1005], this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions are slowly on the improve.
3. There needs to be most in the present a tonic which will assist in purifying the blood stream. Yet there must be kept much of that which has already been indicated in the manner of the diet, of the vibratory forces for the body, and only minor changes as we find for the bettered conditions.
4. We would for the hands keep the oil on same two, three times a day.
5. About once a day rinse the hands well in a Mullein Tea. It is preferable (as this is the season it may be had) to use the fresh Mullein. Take two ounces of the Mullein, bruise it very thoroughly and put in nearly cold water and let it come to almost a boil, but very slowly. As it comes to the boil take off. Use this for about two days, then make fresh. Put the two ounces into a quart of water.
6. This we would prepare as a tonic:
7. To 1/2 gallon of water (this may be tap water), add - but in the order named:

   Wild Cherry Bark..................2 ounces,
Sarsaparilla Root.............1 1/2 ounces,
Mandrake Root...................1/2 GRAIN (not ounce),
Yellow Dock Root..................1 ounce,
Burdock Root....................1/2 ounce,
Toothache Bark..................1/2 ounce.

   Reduce this by slow boiling to one quart. Then cut two drams Balsam of Tolu in two ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol and add to same. The dose would be a teaspoonful before each meal.
8. Do this, and keep the rest in the manner as we have indicated for the vibrations, for the diet, for the exercise, for the care.
9. Drink plenty of water at all times.
10. Keep the eliminations well in hand. Use enemas rather than cathartics. When enemas are necessary use the salts in the manners that have been indicated.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Is the present diet that I am taking properly balanced?
    (A) As has been indicated, keep the diet that has been outlined.
13. (Q) Is the Radio-Active Appliance being given correctly? or active?
    (A) This is very good. Keep this as has been indicated. Keep the plates very clean before each attachment. The Appliance should be for fifteen minutes to twenty minutes in the ice before it is attached to the body.
14. (Q) Is it alright to take the saffron tea as I am taking at present?
    (A) Won't taste quite so good with the tonic; it will become rather woody and bitter. It may be taken if it is desired, but as we find coffee is better than tea - if it is taken properly.
15. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) This is considerable, but do this and the physical forces will be better. Keep the mental attitude towards constructive forces ever. Be not only worth while but worth while for something. Purposeful and constructive in all its activities is what should ever be; and this naturally keeps the attitude - with creating a balance in the body - near to the proper coordinating forces.
    To worry or to become cross and antagonistic creates poisons that are already in excess. Smile even though it takes the hide off, even when you are cross - this will be very much better.
16. We are through for the present, with this reading.
