TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - the body is ALMOST as near in an explosive condition as the materials they are handling here.
3. As we find, there are rather serious disturbances here, and there should be precautions, as well as measures for the correction; else we may have very serious disturbances.
4. For as we find, there are both ulcers in the stomach and duodenum (or thickening tissue) as well as an inflammatory condition in the caecum and appendicial area.
5. Thus the weakness of the body, the inability for the body to gain in weight or strength; at times the very bad breath of the body, a general weakening through the abdominal area, pains through the right portion in the abdominal area, the burning pains after eating through the stomach area.
6. As we find, the body should rest for at least a week or ten days, first; and during that period be in the open air as much as is practical.
7. Also have the heavy Grape Poultices each day over the abdominal and stomach area. Leave these on for at least two hours each day, changing them about once during the two hour period, see? have them at least half an inch thick. Crush the grapes and apply, raw; the Concord Grapes being preferable.
8. And live practically on grapes during that period, or grapes and milk, - with a little curd or crackers in same. The Concord grapes are preferable to be eaten also, but not the same ones that are used for poultice, to be sure! Of course, other types of grapes may be eaten also, but preferably and principally the Concord - or the colored grapes rather than the green, see?
9. After there have been the Grape Poultices used for at least three to four days, then we would have a colonic irrigation, - very gently given; and do not attempt to do this by self! Have it done rather by a professional, with the warning as to the disturbance in the caecum area! Rest during this whole period, you see, but especially remain quiet during the period the colonic is given, - just one, gently but thoroughly done, but after the Poultices have been used for three to four days as indicated.
10. Beware of any temperature, or too much of night sweats, or the poor eliminations through the respiratory system. Hence we would rub the body down with alcohol - whenever there is any tendency in this direction.
11. Then, after these have been followed out for the week or ten days, - we would THEN begin to live more or less on the milk and cheese diet; with, of course, the Beef Juices - taken in small quantities often. No meats except the beef juices, you see. (Do not begin this diet, of course, until after the period of the Grape Poultices and the grape diet.) Also vegetables may then be taken, if cooked in their OWN salts, or their OWN juices - and eat the juices with same; cooking all in Patapar Paper. Such as beans, lentils, mustard; onions with squash and the like. No meat save the beef juices, and liver and liver extract. It would be well if the liver were ground, and patties made, - and save as much of the blood in same as is practical or possible - if it is perfect or good liver, - not cows' but calves' liver; also hog liver would be very well.
12. As soon as the latter diet is begun, we would also begin with Codiron, - taken with the meals; two tablets with at least two of the meals each day,
13. Then, after two to three to four weeks, we would have a few osteopathic adjustments - but not until two, three to four weeks from now.
14. Ready for questions.
15. We are through for the present.
