TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1100].
2. As we find, conditions show SOME improvement; though there are times and periods - with pressures (atmospheric) and surroundings - when the body still feels very much under the stress of the disturbances produced by the localizing of the poisons as indicated as have been active in the system.
3. The allaying of the tendencies for the temperature, or for the malaria and strep to be active in the blood supply, has materially aided. Yet the lack of vitality and resistance in the system is still very evident.
4. As we find, we would use small quantities at a time - but take almost as medicine - of the beef juices. The juice would be prepared not with boiling but with the extracting of the juice by boiling inside of glass jar [See beef juice directions under 5374-1 Reports.]; and this seasoned and taken as sips three, four, five times a day. This is easily assimilated, give strength and vitality, and is needed with the vital forces of the body in the present. Take at least a tablespoonful during a day, or two tablespoonsful. But not as spoonsful; rather sips of same. This, sipped in this manner, will work towards producing the gastric flow through the intestinal system, first in the salivary reactions to the very nature of the properties themselves, second with the gastric flow from the upper portion of the stomach or through the cardiac reaction at the end of the esophagus that produces the first of the lacteals' reaction to the gastric flows in the stomach or digestive forces themselves; thirdly making for an activity through the pylorus and the duodenum that becomes stimulating to the activity of the flows without producing the tendencies for accumulation of gases.
5. Where the conditions have localized, as in the muscular forces along the spinal system, we would first paint same with a combination of three parts Tincture of Laudanum to one part Tincture of Aconite. And put over same Packs of heavy salt, heated. This will not only ease but the very activity of each of these properties with the muscular forces will be to produce a throwing off by radiation through the activity of the system, poisons that have accumulated there.
6. Then, we would discontinue the use of the Bromo-Quinine - the active forces or principles being Quinine, which will relieve the tendencies for the superactivity of the circulation through the respiratory system and through the organs of the sensory forces - or the roaring in the head and the languid feeling and the tingling as comes to the extremities of the body - these will be relieved.
7. But within twenty-four or forty-eight hours we would take a thorough course of the Castoria; but prepare same for this body in a little bit different way. Extract or take from the smaller sized bottle a teaspoonful of the Castoria (which may be taken, or thrown away). Then add in its place a teaspoonful of Syrup of Senna, see? Then shake very THOROUGHLY together. Then take a teaspoonful about every hour until this has acted THOROUGHLY through the system. Best if this is taken in the afternoon or evening, though it makes inconveniences through the night; for it will relax the body and it is better that this be kept warm.
8. When the activities or the weather conditions permit, keep in the open and in the sunshine; but not in mist and fog.
9. Ready for questions.
10. In the diets of the body it is well that a raw vegetable form a part of at least one meal. The rest we would keep in regular body-building. Refrain from too much of starches or sweets.
11. And we should find bettered conditions.
12. Ready for questions.
13. Keep the activity of the mind mentally as CONTROLLING the conditions about the body; for anxieties have arisen, and yet these as we understand - or the body understands - are rather MENTAL than material. And do not let them have material reactions.
14. We are through for the present.
