TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1594]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, conditions show a great improvement in many ways from that we have had heretofore; yet there are still the needs of a great deal of change to be brought about - if we would bring near to normal reactions for the body.
3. The lesions and the tendencies for the growth on the central nerve system or brain are still diminishing.
4. The abilities for assimilation are bettered.
5. Coordination between the locomotories and the brain centers, the impulses for activity are improving.
6. The eliminations and the tendencies for adhesions to arise through portions of the assimilating system, and throughout the alimentary canal, still cause a great deal of the disturbance; and this as we find MUST be very carefully, very PRAYERFULLY watched.
7. The administration of internal medicines will irritate, under the existent conditions; save those that will be of the nature as may be absorbed or as compatible with the gastric flow of the digestive system.
8. Hence the greater part of the applications as we find must be through absorption, and aiding in eliminating by injection of oil and water at times (though, of course, not together) into the lower bowel or colon.
9. As we find, then, these would be the administrations in the present:
10. Take Tartaric Acid, you see, and make this into a poultice. Take a thin cloth and put about an eighth of an inch thickness of this on the cloth, see? and of sufficient width and breadth to cover the abdominal area. Fold same together, then dampen - warm water, you see; not too hot, but warm - and apply this over the abdominal area. Do this at least twice or three times a day.
11. BETWEEN these applications, also apply the Castor Oil Packs, see? These should be at least twice each day. These should not be so hot as to cause pain or greater disturbance.
12. But after each application of the Packs (of both types, you see), massage gently - following the line of the alimentary canal from the emptying of the duodenum or lower stomach into the jejunum or the small intestines - down; that is, straight down to nearly the pubic bone, see? Then across - two to three times - below the navel or between there and the pubic bone. Then up and across - two to three times. Do this gently, but thoroughly, with OLIVE OIL.
13. Each day there must be at least one or two eliminations from the alimentary canal - or bowel movement. Use of morning, if necessary, the Russian White Oil in an enema. This should not be hot, but should not be cold either. Use about half a pint at each time, or a baby syringe full, see? just the oil alone in the enema.
14. Then in the evening or afternoon, use the water and salt - in the proportion of a level teaspoonful of table salt to a quart of water, dissolved; though you may not use this full amount. Use warm water for this, though not hot.
15. Each evening, of course, massage from the brain - or base of the skull - downward, gently, along the cerebrospinal system, with Cocoa Butter OR Olive Oil; or one may be used one day, the other the next.
16. In the diet, keep to those things that are inclined to be laxative in their nature; that is, more alkalines then the acids.
17. The Beef Juice we would keep.
18. Give Castoria AND the California Syrup of Figs alternately, but give in SMALL doses - NOT large doses; that is, give - say today we would give every half an hour about a quarter teaspoonful, see? This, of course, not meaning this immediate day; for there will need to be the massage AND the enema for the elimination first; for the irritations of the active forces in the Figs OR the Senna in the Castoria would produce too great a pain in the abdomen.
19. Keep these up, as we find, for at least two weeks. Then we would give further instructions.
20. But let each of these applications be attended ever with the prayerful attitude. Let those who minister read and meditate often upon those words as may be found especially in the 15th, 16th and 17th of John. KNOW that these promises are to thee! "What ye ask in my name, BELIEVING - living it - may be done in the mind, in the body of those ye love." And "If ye love me and keep my commandments, ye may ask and the Father will give what ye ask; that He, through ME, may be glorified in the earth."
21. Do that.
22. Hold FAST to that!
23. Ready for questions.
24. (Q) How long should each application of the Tartaric Poultice and the Castor Oil be?
    (A) Until they are cold, or the body becomes irritated by same - which would be about ten to fifteen minutes for each.
25. (Q) What caused her to have the nervous twitching spell?
    (A) The tendency for the adherence of those portions in the internal, or in the lacteal duct area; that affect the flow of that TO those areas where there had been the impulse for formation of tumor.
26. (Q) Will she be able to walk and talk?
    (A) Believest thou that He may give that ye ask? He IS the author of life! He IS the author of health, of faith, of hope!
    HAVE that! and to that extent the healing will be!
27. We are through for the present.
