TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here. This we have had before.
2. (Q) Why is the itching still so bad?
   (A) There is here seen much of the retractory nature as respecting this condition. In the aggravating, then, of any of the nerve forces of the system, this a NATURAL result - in a nature; yet, as has been seen, and as is seen by the body, these are continually of SHORTER durations in their intensity. While at TIMES these are VERY SEVERE, yet - keeping much in the same line or channel of the applications and the corrective measures in the whole of the coccyx, sacral and lumbar regions, we will find these will respond. DO that.
3. (Q) Are the itchings on the thighs, legs and vulva separate conditions or all due to one cause?
   (A) Yes or no, and either would be correct - but they are rather the COMBINATION of the conditions. This may be, in this region, RELIEVED materially were sitz baths of myrrh, aloes, and the liquid of tolu put in boiling water and parts exposed for a few minutes. This will relieve and heal also.
4. (Q) What is the cause and treatment of vaginal discharge?
   (A) Keep using the douches. This is from the pressures as have existed in the system, on the organs of the pelvis, from those conditions existent in the alimentary canal, in the ends, and from the retractions as have been produced. Use the douches. Also use these conditions as have just been given.
5. (Q) In first reading a cure was promised in 4 to 6 weeks. Why has this not been accomplished?
   (A) Has the body carried out just exactly as has been given? No! DO as has been given, if you would receive the proper results. Did they carry out the whole? No, they begun with OTHER operations as were necessary, as SEEMING, in that period! These were NOT kept in line with these! Keep in attunement with that desired, would one gain that as one seeks.
6. (Q) Is the osteopathic treatment being given correctly?
   (A) These are very good, though we would relax the body more with the heat and wet packs before ADJUSTMENTS are made through the lumbar, sacral and coccyx; for the coccyx end should be changed in its POSITION - see?
7. (Q) How often osteopathic treatments?
   (A) Each day, but corrections should not be made oftener than second or third days, and these possibly not ALL at once or in the same REGION all at the same time.
8. (A) How should solution for sitz baths be prepared, and what quantities of each ingredient?
   (A) To a half gallon of hot or boiling water add one aloe (These ways we would put them), five drops of the tincture of myrrh, forty drops of the balsam tolu or tolu in solution (that the better, in solution). Duration of the use of these should be from two to ten minutes, but begin with the SMALLER - or with the two minutes first, then possibly the next day two minutes, and the third day these may be used for three minutes - but do not produce too much irritation, for there will be the relaxing of the whole system as these steams ENTER, and as they act WITH the system.
9. (Q) Is the diet aggravating the itching?
   (A) We do not find it so. RETRACTION more the aggravating.
10. (Q) Advise citrous diet?
    (A) These are very good, but we have outlined rather those of the natures as would be MOST beneficial. These we would follow. When it's necessary to change, that the acid and alkalin are more in accord with the conditions, we will find these will prove the better. The mental activities, the physical activities, have much to do with the change of too much acid or too much alkalin in the system. The too much alkalin is often even worse in such conditions than too much acid, in the immediate condition - but these in the system should be alkalin IN their reaction.
11. (Q) Why no appetite? Should it be stimulated, and how?
    (A) Be very well were those of codliver oil, or those of iron, beef and wine, used as a stimuli to the DIGESTIVE and ASSIMILATING systems.
12. (Q) Any other suggestions as to treatment?
    (A) Not just at present. Will be necessary later on that those conditions as have had to do with the folds in the system, or of those of the hemorrhoids, be looked after. NOT at present. Keep the system perfectly relaxed. We would keep MORE of those, occasionally, of the irrigations - that the colon and the prolapsus as has been the tendency in the descending - THIS should be corrected by the distension as is made in same. Then, as the manipulations so aid the system to strengthen the muscular contractions in the system, and the digestive system has built more of the blood supply as will aid in giving muscular force, these will come back to their normal position. Do this for the present. We are through with this reading.
