Stimulate, then, in the massage, at the 9th dorsal and the
4th lumbar, gently - but in a rotary nature, and in those
specific centers. The lower portion of the 9th dorsal, the
whole of the 4th lumbar or the lumbar axis. This will rest
the body, it will also prevent the PRESSURE FROM the tendency
for the dilation from the coughing of the stomach to press
upon the diaphragm.
These will be the helpful conditions in the present.
Do that.
Twice a day (this may be wired) the Ash, one-eighth of a
grain; the light, ultra-violet, one minute, following the
giving of the Ash - three to five minutes afterward.
Stimulate the 9th dorsal, the 4th lumbar, GENTLY, with the
massage. Use the inhalations of the brandy for the searing
or for the cleansing of those conditions in throat and lung.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be done for the extreme weakness?
(A) Massaging with pure grain alcohol will give strength as
well as keep down temperature. This should be massaged over
the abdomen, even to the lower portion of the lung area
itself, and across the spine - from the lumbar area to about
the 4th dorsal area.
(Q) Regarding the diet, is there any food that should be
eliminated from the present diet?
(A) Keep that as has been indicated; but be very mindful we
do not include sweets. THIS has been included, which has
been harmful.
(Q) Anything else to do for the coughing?
(A) Just that as indicated. This may produce - by this
coughing - and by this irritation - a hemorrhage. But this
should not cause too great an anxiety, so long as it can be
controlled.
We are through with this reading.

wired you or not but my sister-in-law passed on last evening.
I received the check reading Sat. and that was the first I
knew about the hemorrhage and I also realized that things did
not look so well even tho we are expecting it, death always
comes as a surprise. I am sure had she adhered strictly to
the diet, at least she would have had a better chance to
live."
