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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2293].
3. As we find, in many respects conditions are very good. In some there are tendencies or inclinations that may be corrected, but unless they ARE we find that these may eventually cause a great deal of disturbance.
4. One condition as we find is very specific, the other is rather a general or a constitutional disturbance.
5. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2293]:
6. Through the circulation there is indicated a lack of proper eliminations through the alimentary canal. This is inclined to bring too much of toxic forces, and at times super-acidity. To be sure, unless corrected, - either through the diet or by the general activities, or cathartics, - this will cause disturbances that may affect some portions of the system.
7. As we find, the DIET is the preferable manner of producing better eliminations.
8. We would leave off all fried foods!
9. Each day we would take an ounce of the combination of carrot, lettuce and celery juice. Use a juicer to extract the juice from the fresh, raw vegetables; and make this fresh each time it is used. This will act upon the eliminations.
10. Have a great deal of prunes in the diet occasionally; also a great deal of fruits and vegetables.
11. No fried foods ever.
12. We would take very little ever of beef. Liver, fish or fowl are the better as the meats for the body.
13. However, do not have any of these fried; prepare them rather in the oven, than frying them in deep fat.
14. For the constipation, use enemas - until there is the activity of the foods, rather than cathartics. But when cathartics ARE taken, use an alkalizer afterwards; such as those properties that are of a senna base, or - if mineral - such as Alka-Seltzer; or any good alkalizer with same.
15. To relieve the tension, we would use the electrically driven vibrator once or twice a week, - especially in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area. Use the cup applicator along the spine. However, do not use the vibrator over the area of the breast, or the glands around same or under the arm.
16. At the same period that the vibrator is used, however, there may be used a gentle massage for the specific conditions - where there has been a bruise on the glands close to the breast. This causes a great deal of soreness, and by the congestion in the mammary gland has produced a hardened knot. Massage the area gently with an equal combination (that is, using a mixture of about a tablespoonful of each) of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor.
17. Also once each week we would bathe the area in very hot water, or apply one or two packs of thick clothes just as warm as the body can stand - holding for two to three minutes, then GENTLY, over the hardened area, use Castor Oil; gently rub this in.
18. At other periods, twice a week, use the Mutton Tallow, Turpentine and Camphor compound. Melt the Mutton Tallow and add an equal amount of each other ingredient indicated.
19. Applying these, we will bring bettered conditions for this body.
20. Ready for questions.
21. We are through for the present.
