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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there are a great many changes in the general physical force of this body since last we had same here. Some are developing towards the better development, some are towards the inclinations for general weaknesses.
4. With the problem of conception, - these are conditions as we find to be met in the present:
5. There is the lack of strength and vitality in the body, owing to a general NERVOUS reaction. This arises, as we find, in a greater part, from a pelvic disorder - which, unless measures for correction are made - would prove also an aggravating condition upon the developing of the foetus, though in the present it is rather toward the normal.
6. The condition in the pelvic organs is of a neuralgial nature, and causes a general discharge in the form of leucorrhea. This makes for a general nervous irritation, causing at times the inclination for the body to be tired, to be irritable at the least little things, upsetting the digestion or the assimilation, and producing general debilitations.
7. We find that there would be the response to these applications:
8. First, - about every other day - for ten days to two weeks - we would begin taking a vaginal douche with an Atomidine solution; a teaspoonful of Atomidine in a quart and a half of water body-temperature, used only in a Fountain Syringe.
9. After the two weeks, leave off the Atomidine but use in its place the Glyco-Thymoline douche; a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart and a half of water body-temperature.
10. Each day when ready to retire, after the bath of evening, - have first a thorough massage down the spinal column with the electrically driven vibrator, using the cup or suction applicator. This should take at least twenty-five to thirty minutes; not something to be hurried through, but to stimulate the whole of the circulation.
11. Then use (self) the sponge applicator across the diaphragm and over the liver and the abdominal area.
12. Then massage into the spine, or rub down with same, pure Peanut Oil; just what the body will absorb. Let the body lie prone upon the face when this is given, and the surplus may be washed or sponged off with a dry cloth.
13. THEN use a quick rub with rub alcohol.
14. This whole routine would be followed each evening, you see.
15. In the matter of the general exercise, - do not let a day elapse without taking a walk (that is, when at all practical as to the weather); and as long a walk as is practical without tiring the body too much.
16. Then, during those periods when the weather does not permit walking, take a gentle setting-up exercise; not too much at first, - of the bending forward, but standing erect, hands gently raised above the head, stoop; and as stooping, gradually lower the hands on either side to the floor. Raise the hands then and gently rise, standing straight, erect. Do this two, three to four times, at least once or twice a day when there is not the opportunity for the walking. This in itself is a helpful exercise; for it makes for the corrections, with the rubs and with the vibrator treatments, as to better distribution of energies through the system. And these with the diets and the added principles of those things that are minus in the body in the present, will make for better healthful conditions.
17. As to the diet, then, - drink PLENTY of milk, preferably malted milk, with the yolk of an egg stirred or beaten into a glass of the malted milk at least twice a week. Drink at least one glass each day.
18. Have plenty of green vegetables rather than meats, but fish and fowl especially are well, and the bony parts of these rather than the fat or fleshy portions. No fried foods.
19. Three times a week we would take CALCIOS; preferably at the evening meal, about the quantity as would be spread lightly to cover a premium cracker.
20. Take two White's Cod Liver Oil Tablets each day; one at the noon meal, the other at the evening meal.
21. Do these, and as we find we will bring the better conditions; aiding the body in the general strengthening, and thus making for a much better channel for the developing of the body within the body.
22. As to the mental attitude here, - cultivate more that of affability. Not that there is a finding of fault in the present, but rather the condition of the general nervous system has been such as to cause the least disturbance to upset the body. SMILE and laugh often. Seek to find and read those things that are of humorous natures, rather than those that are morose.
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) Is there any throat disorder; if not, what causes the feeling that there is a lump of mucous or some obstruction in the throat?
    (A) This is a hindrance in the circulation; and as we find, with the exercises and the properties taken as we have indicated, it should gradually disappear.
25. (Q) What causes aching under lower right front ribs?
    (A) This is a fullness, in the lack of body-functioning with the liver. Thus the changes as will be wrought by the properties of the natures indicated, and all the exercises.
    Do ALL of these things indicated, and not just part of them; and we will find better conditions.
26. We are through with this Reading.
