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, [2715].
3. As we find, there are conditions which prevent the better physical functioning. While the body is in those developing stages, there ARE such disturbances that complications may arise unless measures are taken to correct those conditions of a disturbing nature that arise in the glandular system, especially.
4. There is an after effect of an infectious condition in the lymph circulation, that affected especially the glands of the throat and mouth, larynx.
5. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2715] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates the disturbances through glands, and the affectations to organs, as well as the specific disturbances for the assimilating system; especially as to the liver. These are the sources through which these disturbances arise.
7. The effect to the nervous system, to the blood supply, those tendencies for a form of anemia, all may become in a state or form as to become very destructive - unless there are changes.
8. Hence the conditions in joints, in limbs, hips, across the small of the back, through the chest, and those conditions in throat and head at times. All of these are the EFFECTS, then, of these disturbances.
9. As we find, in making corrections, we would first begin taking internally the Yellow Saffron Tea, made from the American Saffron, the same as regular tea would be made. This would be taken twice each day, - about an ounce in the morning and another ounce in the afternoon or evening. This, to be sure, is the tea itself; not the bark from which it is made. Pour a cup of boiling water over a level teaspoonful of the Saffron and allow to steep as tea - or make it in these proportions, see?
10. Also once each day, in the evening, take two ounces of Mullein Tea, preferably made from the fresh leaves, see? Cut, bruise or crush the Mullein leaves, and pour a pint of boiling water over a heaping tablespoonful of the crushed leaves and allow to steep as tea - for fifteen to twenty minutes; covered, of course, during the time, and use only a glass or enamel container for boiling the water and for steeping same.
11. After the Saffron and the Mullein Tea have been taken for five days, - then begin with osteopathic adjustments; with special reference to the lumbar and sacral area, and from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal to the base of the brain.
12. These should be given at least twice a week until about ten have been taken; then left off about two weeks, and then begin again and take about that many more.
13. But keep up the other treatments, - the diet and the properties taken internally for purifying the system.
14. In the matter of the diet, - have plenty of whole grain cereals, especially, and citrus fruits. For this body (and we find this with few), these may be taken at the same meal if so desired. Also crisp breakfast bacon may be taken three to four times a week; and especially yellow corn cakes and corn bread should be a part of the diet. Have plenty of vegetables raw as well as cooked, more than meats. Fish may be included in the diet often.
15. Do these, and we will bring better conditions for this body, [2715].
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) What should be used for mopping the mouth and gums?
    (A) Glyco-Thymoline as a wash, full strength. And if part of this is swallowed when the mouth is rinsed with it, remember that it will not be harmful - rather beneficial.
18. (Q) Is it necessary to take the body out of school while these treatments are being given?
    (A) Not necessary UNLESS it becomes too great a hardship, because the body should feel much better after the first week.
    Do these.
19. We are through for the present.

    The American Saffron can be obtained at People's - be sure to ask for AMERICAN Saffron.
    Mullein Leaves may be gathered out in the country, in this section. Be sure to make the tea fresh each time.)

BACKGROUND

1. 4/01/42 Sister [667]'s question: "Her legs ache. She had trench mouth several years ago. Did it settle in her system so as to now cause this condition?"

REPORTS

1. 6/16/42 Sister [667]'s report: "[2715] is a lot better. I can tell the difference just watching her play. I've had trouble getting the mullein, but will try to get some more as soon as I can save up enough gas to go out in the country to look for it."
