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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2378].
3. As we find, while the body doesn't show a great improvement, it does not show a great retardment; though the tiredness that persists indicates there is not the resistance being properly builded.
4. The inhalations from the brandy (or this as an imitation brandy) have not been as good as they should be. We would change this to the re-distilled brandy; not that of the nature that comes from applejack (unless re-distilled), for this carries in it fumes that tend to produce acid. And this is that which is most harmful, in the character or nature of acid this produces.
5. While there is not broken tissue, there ARE active forces through the lungs; and these take and keep down the strength and virility.
6. Also we find that there is not as good assimilation as there should be. We would take more of the sea foods; fish and other forms of sea food, in any form just so it is sea food. This will aid in purifying.
7. We would take more of the osteopathic treatments, but occasionally. These have been very well; but now give ONLY the RELAXING treatments, so that the reaction through the circulation will be for stimulating effect to the conditions through the general body-forces.
8. We would leave off at least half of the smoking, and DO NOT inhale when this is taken. Smoke Virginia Rounds, when you smoke, or the all tobacco brands, and not those carrying a mixture too much with Turkish tobaccos, - these are harmful for such conditions. Do not attempt the mentholated cigarettes, though; for these are not well for this body.
9. DO take the vitamins, especially A, B and D. Or, we find it would be well for the body to take at least once a day the tomato juice cocktail with the yeast (the yellow label); and we may for the time being leave off the Acigest.
10. DO NOT be out much in the night air.
11. Do not get feet damp.
12. Keep in the sunshine whenever practical.
13. Not necessary to quit work entirely, but during the rest periods REST!
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Do I need any immediate dental care?
    (A) It would be well to have these observed.
16. (Q) Is the climate of Norfolk good for me?
    (A) We are building for the body to remain in the climate of Norfolk. If it wants to change, or prefers to change to a warmer and drier climate, this would be beneficial, but it is not necessary - as the climatic conditions may be overcome.
17. (Q) Do I menstruate too often?
    (A) This is part of the disturbance, but not a drain on body - as yet.
18. (Q) Is dancing detrimental to my health?
    (A) Too much of it is VERY MUCH so!
19. (Q) Did the Sevetol I took do me any good?
    (A) More harm than good.
20. (Q) How can I clear up the coagulation in my throat?
    (A) Those suggestions indicated in all measures should clear this up, but it means all of them - not part of them!
21. We are through for the present.

    [1548] used Hildick's Apple Brandy, which she got at the ABC store. It is supposed to be about the purest that can be obtained, though expensive.)
