TEXT

1. FEM: You will give a physical reading on this body at the present time, with further suggestions for the improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I might ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
3. Now, we find there are many changes in the body since last we had it here. Many of these are for the general developments in the physical forces, some for good; some at the present time show the effects of congestion in various portions of system that has given distress to the vital forces in the body; yet, with all, we find there is that resistance in the system that meets the conditions as they arise, and with the keeping of the system in that way that will keep the eliminations in the trunk portions, and the circulation in the exterior portions, working near the normal condition, we will keep the vital forces still repairing and rebuilding in the system.
4. Then, we would give as this for those conditions as exist at present:
5. We would massage into the whole cerebro-spinal system those of equal parts of Olive Oil and Myrrh, and especially across the lower portion of the cerebro-spinal system and in the joints, for this, as we see, has the twofold purpose. The massage will assist and stimulate all centers from the cerebro-spinal system. The Oil and Myrrh acting as a lubricant and taken in the capillary circulation, assist in the proper eliminations, and the Myrrh acting as the carrier, while Oil acts as food and as stimulant, same as that in the Myrrh.
6. These, as we see, will keep the better conditions for this body.
7. In the diet, be careful that we do not over load the digestive system as to cause fermentation in any manner. When this occurs we have a condition that gives rise to tightness in chest and to disorders through the kidneys, for these are the extremities, as it were, of the circulation, excited by too much blood in the system being carried to that portion affected, in digestion, see?
8. Then, with this care, and with this stimulation as has been given, we will bring the better, more normal conditions for this body, Mrs. [4382].
9. (Q) She has a good deal of trouble and pain in her right hip. What can be done to relieve that?
   (A) This same condition as has been given. Though, the specific for this would be found in applying hot applications of saturated solution of Bicarbonate of Soda. Then applying packs of hot heavy salt, see? Though we find these other stimulants to the whole cerebro-spinal system, and especially that to the lower portion, across hips, will assist in alleviating this, see. Then the hot application of Bicarbonate of Soda and Salt as a specific.
10. (Q) The doctors have said that her right hip has been out of joint. What do you find?
    (A) We find the ligaments there have been strained, for this condition we have had before, you see. This has not been out of joint, as we would call a direct out of joint, but the ligament strain shows it has been pulled - for we see by bulge as caused here at times how the ligament has formed with this portion to prevent the bone from giving the trouble - form a cushion for same, see?
11. We are through for the present.
