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 she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: We find some improvements. There are some still more exaggerated conditions, - as in the indications by the stools of the effects of those applications indicated for a CONTINUED elimination through the kidneys and the gall duct area.
3. Hence as we find, it will be well if these are kept for the time being, - that is, using still the Castoria AND the Syrup of Figs as an active principle; then, of course, having the enemas to evacuate or eliminate same through the alimentary canal, or cleansing the colon.
4. These as we find will aid the greater in bringing better forces for the body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What is cause of the hard, fine, black sand that I discharge through the intestines?
   (A) The effects from those conditions in the gall duct and liver area, and hence MUST be kept up until ALL of these ARE ELIMINATED; else we will find very soon a recurrence of those conditions from the effects of such poisons in the system.
7. (Q) What is the cause of the large quantity of mucus I constantly discharge?
   (A) It needs to be eliminated! This has been and is the excesses that have been an accumulation through the alimentary canal.
8. (Q) How is the stone that the X-Ray showed was formed in the canal between the kidney and ... (?) Can it be healed or dissolved?
   (A) If we will keep those things as indicated, we will find this aided in being dissolved and eliminated.
9. (Q) How is my heart?
   (A) Until the pressure is removed by the removing of the poisons from the system, there will continue to be disturbance and disorders in this direction.
10. (Q) Is it advisable to continue the liquid diet?
    (A) Keep the liquid diet until there is the full elimination of mucus and ALL the FECAL forces that have been stirred and are being stirred and WILL be stirred by the continued use of the properties indicated; adding the little foods gradually, of course.
11. (Q) May the following be added? Buttermilk, raw eggs or egg yolks, custards, salad greens, raw and cooked vegetable combinations, raw vegetable juices, berries and melons, and all kinds of fruit juices?
    (A) These can be added in small quantities occasionally, but there MUST be kept up those as we have indicated for the better elimination, until there are all of these toxic forces and poisons eliminated, - if there would be the improvement!
    And this doesn't show the inclination for the taking of too great a quantity of foods; though, of course, the fruit juices and many of those things indicated may be taken in moderation, and will be beneficial to the body in not only maintaining strength but in assisting to eliminate.
12. (Q) When will further diet changes be advisable?
    (A) WHEN these conditions have been cleared from the system! which will be indicated by the character of the elimination or stool.
    So long as there are the sedimentary forces and so much of the mucus, it needs to be CLEANSED FROM THE SYSTEM! AND MUST BE, if the body will gain the better equilibrium! And because it improves a little, DON'T STOP!
13. (Q) In the future shall I return to meat and fish and Boston Brown Bread?
    (A) In moderation.
14. (Q) Should I take Codiron?
    (A) NOT UNTIL THE SYSTEM has been cleansed! Then it may be taken if so desired. It is an excellent tonic.
15. (Q) Flouranucin, or Atomidine?
    (A) We would not take these until there has been a cleansing of the system.
16. (Q) Should I continue osteopathic treatment?
    (A) These taken occasionally will aid in keeping a better balance and better conditions throughout the body.
17. (Q) When I go back home, would you suggest my returning here for Dr. Schoelles, or Dobbins in N.Y.?
    (A) Either of these, - whichever is chosen as being preferable to the body. Schoelles is VERY good.
18. (Q) When I return home, can my teeth be satisfactorily repaired or should they all be extracted for false teeth?
    (A) Be better if they would all be extracted, though it's not easy to do so.
19. (Q) Would Dr. Jackson residing near me at the corner of 8th St. & University Place in N.Y.C., be alright, or should I have another dentist attend to them?
    (A) This is very well, if this is the one chosen or desirable.
20. (Q) How much longer is it practical, or would it be wise, for me to remain here at the home of [1158]?
    (A) At LEAST until there are the indications that the body has been thoroughly cleansed.
21. (Q) Will it be advisable later for me to go to Dr. Minnie Black on Washington Place, East Orange, N.J.?
    (A) If so desired.
    If these applications are kept as indicated, though, this would NOT be necessary, - if there are the occasional osteopathic adjustments to keep the body toned and in good condition.
22. (Q) How can healing of persistent head pains be hastened, and how long before completely eliminated?
    (A) These will NOT be until the poisons HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!
    These are the effects of toxic forces and are a part of the whole of the great disturbances that arise in the nervous system that, of course, cause the headaches.
23. (Q) If directions are carefully followed, how long before I can achieve balanced health capable of returning to active work?
    (A) This will depend upon the body-response and how consistent and persistent the body is with the applications of the eliminants and the cleansing forces for the whole system. It should within a few weeks be ENTIRELY eliminated, IF these directions are kept up.
24. (Q) Would Christian Science treatment by Charles Holcombe of N.Y. be advisable?
    (A) If so desired, it is very well. But have the eliminations, - then the body may think right and show the activities of the spiritual forces through the flesh in a manner more applicable to the mental forces of the body.
25. We are through with this Reading.
