TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find the conditions throughout this body are improved in the physical, in the spiritual and in the mental, from that as we have had before.
2. In the pulmonaries and those of the plexuses that are sympathetically and in functioning directly connected with the functioning of the pulmonaries, we still have a good deal of inflammation which causes the reaction in lungs proper.
3. In the nerve plexus in the lower lumbar we still have here much inflammation. At times, however, this is worse than at others, for with the contraction and engorging of organs to function in their normal manner pressure is created in the center and produces improper functioning of the lymph glands, and there is an excess then of the discharge in the uterus.
4. In the digestive tract, and in the emunctories of the eliminating organs, we find these much improved. The ligaments and tissue, however, about the capsule of the left kidney, and also some in the right, shows how that this organ functions abnormal and produces a state of acid condition; yet this is much better than when we had this before. The whole system has more of the incentive, both through the functioning physically of the organs in the system, as received by the mental attitudes of the body, and as is compelled by the medicinal properties suggestion to the functioning system in that of a pathological way and manner.
5. Then, to give the better conditions to the body, we would keep those of the medicinal properties in the system, as has been accorded, and in the same way and manner use those; adding this for the different local conditions to be met: First, we would apply the vibration from the violet ray along the bronchials and over the frontal portion of the lungs at the apex of the bronchial tube or upper portion of lung.
6. In the spinal column give the vibration from the 2nd dorsal to the 6th and 7th dorsal, and cervicals to the 2nd. Lumbar only across the sacral region.
7. For the congestion, and for the sensation as produced in the bronchials by this condition of the plexus in the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal, use this as an inhalant, only using this when there is the effect produced, or when such a tickling sensation is produced as to have paroxysms of coughing: To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, add:

   Eucalyptus Oil...................40 minums,
Oil of White Pine, cut with Rectified of Turp,
White Pine.......................15 minums,
Oil of Turp......................10 minums,
added to the solution after well compounded to-gether, and 5
minums of Creosote, or better the Rectified Oil as is found
in Benzosol.

8. For the condition in uterus, we would use douches of Creolin. This made of course very weak, and where parts exposed show rash or itching apply white vaseline to these parts so affected, keeping the body in the open air as much as possible. That is, not in the night air but early morning air especially, exercising sufficient but not overtaxing the strength of the body.
9. Eat as much green vegetable matter as is consistent. Little of meats, save fish or wild game. Do this. We will bring this body to its normal condition and to a world of usefulness in the present physical plane.
10. (Q) Do the gums of this body need immediate attention from a dentist?
    (A) Some of the teeth need immediate attention from a dentist. Would be well to uss for a wash this [Ipsab] for the gums: To 6 ounces of distilled water, add 2 ounces Prickly Ash Bark. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to 2 ounces. Strain and add Powdered Common Salt until we have a very thin paste. Rinse or rub gums with this once every two days until this trouble in the mouth and gums has subsided.
11. (Q) Is coffee harmful to this body?
    (A) With meats, yes. Without meats, no.
12. (Q) At times when the body is a little constipated, and the system seems more clogged, would a purgative be helpful?
    (A) Enemas rather than purgative. High enemas.
13. (Q) Does the body do more work and take more exercise than it should?
    (A) Do not overtax the body beyond its strength to cause breaking of cellular force in the lung proper.
14. (Q) Should the body continue drinking water with elm bark or sassafras in it?
    (A) It should.
15. (Q) As the general condition of the body improves, will it gain in weight?
    (A) It will.
16. (Q) Is the climatic condition alright for this body?
    (A) At present, yes.
17. (Q) Is the body resting sufficient for the condition?
    (A) Rest sufficient that the body through physical forces, and through the incentives as received pathologically from medicinal properties, may have its opportunity to function. A great deal depends upon the mental attitude as to the rest sufficient. Do not become a burden to self or to others, yet never overtaxing beyond what the body knows its physical capacity.

Harris of Selma [to whom you referred me for helping to obtain one] is in Atlanta and will be gone 4 weeks, but I will hear from him as soon as my letter reaches him. I hope soon to do all the things suggested in my last reading. At present I feel wonderfully improved, even since I heard from you last. I just know I will be well again.
   Won't it be wonderful if I can get the money from government to help me have the things I need to make me well and to help your work, too?
   Thanking you always for what you have done and are doing for me, I am" Sincerely [4436]
