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 he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1888], this we have had before.
3. As we find, while there is the full application of all suggested, conditions improve. When there is a relaxing of any portion, or any trouble in obtaining the ingredients, and a laxness in strict adherence to the diet indicated, we find that conditions show disturbance again.
4. We would keep those manipulations that have been indicated, with the suggestion that they be given for better eliminations; thus stimulating the upper dorsal and the upper cervical area, - as well as relaxing - and be sure those areas from the coccyx to almost the 9th dorsal are relaxed thoroughly at each treatment.
5. Also we would apply each day, for at least an hour, at least two thicknesses of the Mullein Stupes, or the Mullein that has been bruised and boiling water poured over same, you see, - in an enamel or glass container (not tin, aluminum or metal). Apply the Mullein Stupes across the small of the back, as well as around the limbs, the ankles and feet, for an hour each day. Wrap heavy cloths about same to keep the heat in.
6. Make and take a Mullein Tea also, prepared in these proportions: Put a teacupful of the Mullein (preferably the seed or blossom, which can be obtained now) to a quart of water and let steep as tea. Of course, the Mullein should be washed thoroughly before being used, either for the Tea OR the Stupes. Drink this quantity during a day, see?
7. Keep away from sweets in the diet, except honey. No meats save fowl or fish.
8. And if there is persistency in these, we should find better conditions.
9. At least once a week have the colonic irrigation, using a Fountain Syringe and a colon tube. Put a level teaspoonful of table salt and a heaping teaspoonful of baking soda to the half gallon of water, body-temperature. Stir this thoroughly. These proportions are just opposite from those ordinarily given, but are proper for this particular condition. This may be done by self, you see, - at least once a week.
10. Be sure there are the eliminations from the alimentary canal once to twice each day.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Has the doctor done his part?
    (A) As just indicated, keep those treatments. These have been given very well, but all as suggested for the body itself to do has not been done by the body consistently as indicated.
13. We are through with this Reading.
