TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we find the body here. And as we find there are indications of a very serious disturbance.
2. These as we find are acute conditions affecting the glandular system, through subjugations of eliminations through portions of the body and the poisons and unbalanced conditions; thus producing through this disturbance a condition in the blood stream of the nature of BLOCKING same.
3. Hence the irregularity in the pulsation, in the heart's action, in the functioning of the liver and the excretory system, the changes in the temperature of the body. And the combinations of these are producing those disturbances in the inabilities for rest, for sleep, for digestion; also the nausea and those disturbances throughout the body.
4. As we find, unless these are altered there must come very serious conditions.
5. In the present, we would give rather a quantity - or the larger doses than we usually indicate - of the Atomidine; five to six to eight drops twice a day for three to four days. Then leave off the Atomidine entirely. And then after two to three days begin again in a LESS quantity. These would rectify those reactions through the glandular forces and the activity of the eliminations should be stimulated by the applications of the very hot Castor Oil Packs over the liver and the caecum area. These given two to three times a day, until there are the eliminations through the alimentary canal.
6. The eliminations may be aided also by the use of enemas; not too hot - just the temperature of the body. And to use Glyco-Thymoline with same as an antiseptic will prevent infections or disturbances.
7. In these manners, as we find, we may bring aid to this body, [1271].
8. Do that.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Any advice regarding diet during this treatment?
    (A) That which is easily assimilated. Rather, as these are begun, that which the body calls for.
    Massage with oils, of course, when or at the time the bath is given of a morning or evening or both, would be well. This would only rest the body and keep down temperature.
11. We are through for the present.
