TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have had this before - the physical conditions of the body are on the improve, and we find there needs be changes considered with the physical forces of the body. In the activities of the body there must be care taken that there is not the overtaxation to the extent that restlessness occurs from same, and an unbalancing of the system result. We do not wish to so exercise as to cause a return or an occurrence of night sweats, or of that that overtaxes the system in any direction; changing or altering the eliminations, and the channels through which the system attempts to eliminate drosses from the body, for the SYSTEM goes about to create an equilibrium, and an overtaxation - with the present conditions - would bring such about, from the condition of the pulmonaries or of the lungs and respiratory system.
2. In the matter of the inhalants, these should be kept rather severely in the order or line as given - as well as the appliances, that aid the nerve and blood supply of body.
3. Now the diet, we would continue to use as much of the oils as produce fatness or vitality in the system as the system will or can absorb. We would ALSO add those of calves' liver and beef juice, and those of spirits frumenti occasionally for the body. These will aid, and best that this be taken either with the warm milk from the cow or with a fresh egg still with the animal or fowl heat in same. These will aid in stimulating and assisting the body.
4. The character of the exercise should depend upon how the eliminations are kept up. Do that.
5. (Q) Shall the body continue the codliver oil?
   (A) It's just been given!
6. That will be all the questions.
7. Well, do this as we have given - and we will find better conditions coming for the body - [5441]. We are through for the present.
