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. Conditions are gradually changing - there are still very, very serious disturbances. Unless there is the maintaining of a better balance, to be sure the high temperature will prove to be detrimental to the soft tissue and brain forces, and naturally to the cerebrospinal system itself.
3. Here we would begin with these:
4. Each evening, and at times of mornings, if necessary, give the body a warm bath and following same give a rub with grain alcohol - not rub alcohol. It would be harmful to rub the body with other than grain alcohol. This should be diluted, about half and half - a teaspoonful of the grain alcohol and a teaspoonful of boiled water. This should reduce the temperature. This should be along the back of the neck, down the spine the whole way, across the diaphragm area.
5. As we find, as conditions are developing it may be necessary to give the foods so that they may be already assimilated. The Beef Tea or juice is already assimilated. Give this often, in very small quantities, just so it doesn't turn on the body. Also give the liver.
6. We would also prepare the whole yolk of an egg - just the yolk, not the white. Stir in this, very thoroughly, a quarter teaspoonful of sugar - not more, less if anything. Stir this very thoroughly, then add two tablespoonsful of milk - not too heavy, but in that which is not entirely separated from the cream. Add to this about ten drops of whiskey, preferably rye whiskey.
7. Give sips of this, not more than half a teaspoonful every two or three hours, with the rest. This will be absorbed.
8. Do massage the abdomen with Olive Oil, and also across the small of the back.
9. Do not give the body water that has not been boiled. This, under the conditions, is hard on the digestive forces.
10. Keep eliminations, though it may be necessary to give enemas at times.
11. Do these for the betterment.
12. Ready for questions.
13. We are through with this reading.
