TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the present, there are acute conditions that arise from a taxation or a DISTURBING and the breaking of cellular force in the circulatory system.
3. If the breakage is kept from forming clots, or being carried to the brain, this may soon pass off or be dissolved - if there is quiet for the body.
4. This arises from those disturbances in the axis of the lumbar as well as those in the 9th dorsal centers that first caused the trouble. Then this reaction from taxation to the lumbar center. From THERE the break has been; that is, in the circulatory system, see?
5. Now it is at or between the dorsal and the lumbar area.
6. While there is the producing of relaxation, this is well, but may become very hard upon the circulation if this movement starts forward.
7. In the present, keep hot things to the feet; massaging the lower limbs with the combinations of Turpentine, Mutton Suet and Camphor. But keep the feet warm.
8. Conditions in the head, as cold cloths or ice, base of neck and along same.
9. The massage or the rubs should be downward always.
10. Keep the body quiet.
11. Then we would give further instructions on the morrow.
12. Keep the assimilations of that that is very, very easily digested.
13. Have enemas to remove pressures. This would be necessarily in the evening or late evening or morning, for the removal of poisons from the system.
14. Do that.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Should the enemas be given with the body on the bed, or is it harmful for her to get up?
    (A) It is not well for the body to move too much. These will not be given until there begins to be the passing away of the effects of the narcotics.
    But it is tying up the system though relaxing the circulation, see? Hence it will become necessary, unless there is the danger - and if there is NOT the removal of these there is danger of this assisting in pushing the poisons to the circulatory forces for a greater disturbance.
17. (Q) How can we tell when the pressure is removed?
    (A) Because the body will be able to move!
18. (Q) Would an osteopath be helpful?
    (A) It's just been given that there should be the massages downward.
    Not to those that come above the upper cervicals, for these would be harmful.
19. (Q) How often should the oils be massaged?
    (A) Two, three, four, five to six times; something like that. Keep them warm! Better that the feet be massaged, feet and limbs from knees downward, and then wrapped in a blanket that's kept hot, or electric pad or the like, see?
    Then the ice - or not too much ice, for with the circulation as it is we might produce congestion that would draw it to same. Heat will draw from, as the cold will draw from.
20. We are through for the present.
