TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Give suggestions for the care of the hair (to relieve dandruff)?
   (A) Do massage into the scalp small quantities of lard, or hog lard preferably. If this is done in the evening, the head tied up, and then Fitch's Shampoo used to dissolve and wash away the results of same, this will remove same. Do this once each week for at least five weeks.
5. (Q) For building up body in general, especially resistance against colds?
   (A) Keep the body well balanced as to diets. These are the basic principles for better assimilation.
   As a tonic, - take twenty pellets, each containing the following, - but do not take more than one each day:

   Camphor Gum......................3 grains,
Morphia.......................1/16 grain.

   This is not habit forming if taken in this manner.
   Then do add to the body the vitamins (and minerals) as found in VIMS.
   This will build back strength and resistance.
6. (Q) Remedy for skin breaking out from sun?
   (A) Use Palmolive Soap baths, followed with a small amount of Pure White Vaseline rubbed on any rough places.
7. (Q) Is losing weight at this time detrimental to me?
   (A) Not detrimental unless it becomes a consistent thing, or goes on too long. These things as indicated for the the body are taking this into consideration.
8. (Q) Is lemon juice, as being taken now, helpful?
   (A) It is a good alkalizer. Squeeze a little lime in with it also, just two or three drops in a full glass of the lemon juice taken. Best to mix the lemon juice with water, of course. Use half a lemon, or a full lemon to a glass of water, depending upon how soon the lemon is used after it is fully ripened or prepared for the body.
9. (Q) Any other suggestions?
   (A) Do keep the mental attitude constructive and creative, not too much haphazard.
10. We are through for the present.
