TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find in some respects the conditions, while OUTWARDLY apparently spread in directions rather than being eliminated from the system, yet in many respects the conditions, as we find as indications - by the amount of the vitality as exhibited in system, as well as the less in numbers of tubercle effects or active forces in throat, bronchi, lung, intestinal system, or in the blood stream itself - these are LESSENED, but their activity at times seems to be more severe.
2. In keeping the temperature down, we will find that with the use of the rub alcohol - and with those oils as outlined along the spine - these will be most effective, will they be given in their regular routine or order.
3. With the ash, we will find this is most beneficial when given WITH the lights upon the body.
4. With the inhalants, the brandies, these are fair - not the BEST, as we find. The inhalant for throat, head - these are NOT prepared in their proper way or manner, and cause much of the soreness or dryness with which the throat is affected, and will those be used which - the alcohol, or that that effervesces or throws off, or the emanations come from, be that that does not carry pyro in its body, this will be better and will be beneficial - while that as HAS been prepared is DETRIMENTAL, save as an antiseptic, and carries NO healing whatsoever with same! rather detrimental to the body.
5. In the matter of the formation of gases that appear in the stomach when food is taken - these, we find, will be more effective will the smaller quantity be given when foods are given and the more OFTEN given - see? While this tends to make, to be sure, rather a continuation, or an often activity of the gastric juices of the stomach, of the digestive system, this being of such a nature as causes these - then we will find that given in small quantities and more often would be more beneficial than taking much and causing so much disorder or disruption in this direction.
6. Do these, and we will find that there will be more improvement. Make the inhalant AS prescribed, with PURE GRAIN alcohol! Also clarify the inhalant with those from the apple brandy, see? Ready for questions.
7. (Q) How much milk should he drink each day?
   (A) This should be goats' milk or mares' milk, and if this CANNOT be obtained - WE would prefer those of Dryco or malted milk - these would be much preferable to those of the raw milk, and these may be taken - as has been given - in SMALLER quantities and often, and if as much as six to eight ounces is taken - or can be taken - during the day, this will be better, or even more if it may be assimilated by the body. If goats' milk or mares' milk may not be obtained, then use the DRY milk - rather than raw milk, or even that that has been pasteurized. This is not good for these conditions.
8. (Q) Has blood supply increased any?
   (A) It has increased through those activities as outlined, though there has been pain and temperature that has burned up much of the effluvia for the system. This has been holding its own, and increases at times.
9. (Q) What will relieve nausea after meals?
   (A) Follow these directions, as we will find, and see if we don't have better results with these conditions. Do that.
10. (Q) Is once each day sufficient for the light?
    (A) Once each day is sufficient for the light, unless the pain is severe and there is more of the ash taken - then if the ash is given twice each day, then we may apply the light thirty minutes after ash is taken.
11. (Q) Is his loose bowels a serious condition?
    (A) This may BECOME serious, provided the conditions are over active or overtaxing - but this is WELL, that eliminations in this manner may be kept going, see?
12. (Q) His fever has not been below 99 during past week, and at times going to 102 and 103, is this to be considered serious?
    (A) As has been indicated, these are from the irritations that have gradually arisen from the effect of the conditions in throat - which is produced by those of pyro, or pyrogallic acid in the alcohol.
13. We are through with this reading.
