TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. As we find, conditions are very good in many ways. There are indications of some cold, as indicated in a little mucous in the stool. This is not often, but is indicated.
4. While this is indicated, it is well to keep the body-forces greased with the Camphorated Oil at least once or twice or three times a day; as between the shoulders, over the chest, across the diaphragm area.
5. Also when he is bathed it is well that warm Glyco-Thymoline (not hot, but warm) be massaged into the body over the same areas, just before there is used the baby oil and the powder - while the body is still warm from the bath water, but not damp.
6. Occasionally, when there is any strain - or the sniffles, it is well that the Castoria be given in broken doses; about four to five drops every hour or two during the day.
7. Also it is well at such times to give the Glyco-Thymoline; two or three drops in a little water, once or twice a day.
8. Be mindful that all clothing, all covering about the body is well seasoned before it is put about the body. For, with the sleeping, there is the absorption of cold through, not damp but, not thoroughly seasoned clothing. These are precautions, or warnings.
9. Keep the body warm with hot water bottles in the bedding when sleeping, and the like.
10. These precautions should keep the body very good.
11. No change would we make in the feeding formula at present, except in increased quantity. Gradually, when the changes come, give a little orange juice - in about two or three more weeks this may be attempted. Also any of the baby foods may then be begun.
12. Prunes are well for this body - when these are begun.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Should the Cod Liver Oil be given now, and how much daily?
    (A) That normal for the age of the body, see. This we would not give each day, but about three times a week. This aids in creating resistance.
15. (Q) The last reading suggested that Calcios be given later. Is it time to start that now?
    (A) This is more in the form of the vital energies or vitamins supplied in the beginning of the foods. This may be added a little bit later, not in the immediate present - while there is any cold in the body.
16. (Q) Are we doing the right thing in relieving the nose congestion, or breathing, with the oil sticks in the nose?
    (A) Be very careful as to how these are injected, else you may cause a cartilaginous formation there by irritation. But this is very well. But the precautions as to back, chest, and even the side of head being massaged with the oil may be just as effective and less irritating to mucous membranes; though at times, if it becomes too severe, do it very carefully and not too far into the nostril as to disturb that area between the sides of the nostril.
17. (Q) Is the baby oil the best thing to use in the nostril?
    (A) This is sufficient, or Sweet Oil - which is a little bit heavier, not as refined as baby oil.
18. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time?
    (A) Do as indicated, - keep in those lines suggested. Be mindful especially about the garments about the body, of all natures.
19. We are through for the present.
