TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with special reference to the lungs, kidneys and knees, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of this body and these conditions. You will answer any questions I might ask you regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find there are many different conditions in the body at the present time from that as we have had here before. Many are for the betterment of the body. Some show an exaggerated and a weakness of the whole system to give the proper equalization to the circulation and nerve action. Hence the distress as is caused in the extremities at times, especially along the branch of the sciatic nerve in the left limb and in the knee and thigh, and back. This, as we see, the extravagant condition produced, as it were, from lack of circulation in all portions of the body, and the rubbing, massaging of this portion is WELL for the body. This SHOULD be done - rubbed, massaged, from the hip to the toes, see? at least twice each day.
4. The condition as we see in the intestinal tract much improved, yet is far from being entirely normal, and needs the care and attention necessary, by the diet for the body as has been outlined, and by the application of those things as have been given for the body. The applications of the oil (outside, see?), the application to the whole of the intestinal system of those conditions that produce better assimilation and better digestion - small quantities, then, as we see, of those properties as were given for the body in Pepsin and water. A stimulant necessary, as has been given should be taken, see? Spirits Frumenti - just a little bit, for the alcoholic possibilities of the system are low at present. Hence the necessity for this stimulation. As for these inhalations, and for the condition as exists in the lung, we would change or modify these at the present time, see, to this:
5. To 2 ounces of grain alcohol, add:

   Eucalyptol.....................15 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp...........5 minims,
Essence or Tincture of Tolu
(in solution)...............30 minims,
Creosote........................1 minim,
Heroin (dissolved, see?).....1/60 grain, see?

   This to be inhaled (not taken) in the mouth, see? and we will find this will assist, strengthen the body. Well, too, that occasionally, when the body tired, that that vibration as has been given for the body should be attached to the body, see? attaching to the wrist (right wrist) and RIGHT ankle - wrist first, ankle last, see? same side of the body in this case, see? Do that for the better conditions of this body, [3776].
6. (Q) What is the condition of the kidneys?
   (A) Low in their action, and that's the necessity of that stimulation in alcoholic forces for the body. The inhalations will carry some necessary. Some in the system, as has been given for the body, those as are found in that stimulant as is Gin, see? good for the body. Should be taken in small quantities - two - three times a day - just a sip, see?
7. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 3/25/26 Husband Mr. [304]'s letter: "[3776] is getting along very well; she still complains quite a lot of her feet hurting her and it's running up into her limbs, but just as I said to you, I really think the great majority of that comes from the corns and callous places on her feet and tired feet as most people of age suffer with and for that reason I would love for you to go over her case when it is convenient or as soon as you can well do so and take up that feature... She got bedroom slippers yesterday and has been wearing them ever since she got them and she hasn't suffered near so much today, but of course sore some and gives her pain but not as before..."

3. 3/35 Son [294] said his mother was practically free of asthma the rest of her life, after using the inhalants given in her health rdgs., altho she had suffered with asthma all her life prior to the time of getting rdgs.
