TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5514] - this we have had before. Now, the conditions show some improvement at the present time from that as we have had before. While not a great amount, yet the relief, or the pressure as is arrested through the tissue and through the portions of system where the system is involved in the inflammation of the producing serum forces in the body.
2. Now, while those conditions as have been given have not been wholly applied - we would then prepare THIS, for we will find these will materially aid the system in creating that necessary to overcome the inflammation, will the activities of the eliminations through the intestinal system be kept up, or very active, while these are being taken. Prepare, then, as this:

   Quinine - Sulfate Quinine................25 grains,
Sulfate of Iron..........................50 grains,
Rhubarb..................................30 grains.

   Mix well together and make into pellets, or capsules, at least 125, see? Take 3 of these each day, morning, noon and evening. Not necessary, then, that other conditions as have been given be changed, with the giving of these properties. The iron is to assist the blood through the assimilations, as is being created to ELIMINATE these conditions; the Quinine active with the active forces of the liver; Rhubarb with the active principles of the gastric juices of the stomach, so that the assimilation of the iron may take place. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What stimulant is best for the heart?
   (A) A division or alternation of Strychnine and Digital. Not too much of the Digital to produce a plethora condition in the heart, which already EXISTS, but the RELIEF as is brought to these - these should be diminished as fast as may be accomplished THROUGH the activity of the Quinine and Iron in system, but these are NECESSARY when the pressure acts so directly on the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus. The RELIEF of these will be seen in the continual application of the stupes of Mullein, and of the relief of the system through eliminations, that would be increased. The strychnine and the digital, but as LITTLE of the Digital - but SOME necessary.
4. (Q) Would it be well to give every other day small doses of salts?
   (A) Well, for THIS is as a reduction in pressure from the serums as are created in the system. Just so an irritation is not PRODUCED by same.
5. (Q) Do the kidneys need stimulation?
   (A) Not more than that that's given in the clary water, through the gin in same. Save the manipulations, as produce the coordination of the lower hepatic circulation with the rest of the body - GENTLE massage, see?
6. (Q) Is the massage that is being given now - does it interfere with his breathing any?
   (A) No massage being given right now! but the condition as is PRODUCED by the massage is necessary, as has been given, for the RELIEF - or for the coordination of the eliminating and stimulating portions of the system.
7. (Q) Should the massage be given every day?
   (A) Every day, or every other day - dependent upon the reaction of these properties as has been given. Under the present conditions, EVERY day better. with the changes as will be brought about by properties as have been given for the change to be brought in system, every other day may be sufficient - but whenever the pressure arises, it MUST be relieved.
8. (Q) Should the Homeopathic remedy as given in the last reading - should they try to secure this and give it?
   (A) This has been given to take the place of same, and these will act with the properties as has been outlined for the body, will they be prepared.

   Quinine..................................25 grains,
Sulfate of Iron..........................50 grains,
Rhubarb..................................30 grains,

   and made into at least 125 to 130 pellets, or capsules, see? 3 taken each day - morning, noon and evening, see? Do that for the present. We are through.
