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, while conditions externally appear to be much worse, these are the attempts of the system to eliminate poisons.
4. We would continue with those applications that have been suggested; though when the Plantain Ointment is used, after the areas are sponged off or cleansed from same, put Carbolated Vaseline over the areas. This will aid in drying, purifying, and preventing the spreading of the water that oozes from the inflammation.
5. Keep up, or increase, the eliminations. Use Castoria with Syrup of Figs as an eliminant; not leaving off the others, but this to decrease the elimination of poisons through the system and start the activity of the eliminating system through those channels which will be most beneficial. Better conditions are brought about by taking this in small quantities and often, you see; about half a teaspoonful every half hour. These - the Castoria and Figs - may be mixed or alternated.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) How long should Mullein Stupes be left on arm?
   (A) Until the Mullein Stupes are dried; that is, the leaves themselves. This then depends upon how much of the bandage is put on to hold the moisture.
8. (Q) Are these being properly prepared?
   (A) Use more of the tender leaves than the heavy ones, will be an improvement.
9. (Q) Please suggest antiseptic best for cleansing?
   (A) Glyco-Thymoline is preferable, for it is an alkalin antiseptic. Use a tablespoonful to a pint of water.
10. (Q) Is dusting powder now being used harmful?
    (A) It is producing an irritation, and making the body allergic to other dust.
11. (Q) Does the use of arm, while peeling fruits, etc., irritate condition?
    (A) Not necessarily, especially if those things indicated are applied.
12. (Q) How long should Plantain and Butter be cooked?
    (A) Until it is thoroughly cooked.
13. (Q) Comment on following in diet: Rye Bread?
    (A) Very good.
14. (Q) Butter?
    (A) Very good, provided not too much.
15. (Q) Sour cream and clabber?
    (A) Not so good. Buttermilk is better.
16. (Q) Any other advice?
    (A) Be consistent and persistent, and we will find these conditions will be cleared. Don't get infected by other conditions, however. This is merely as a warning. But keep the Carbolated Vaseline over same when it is not necessary to wrap - that is, because of the using, you see; and this should gradually - though it's not very sightly - produce healing, and also keep the area cleansed.
17. We are through for the present.
