(Physical Suggestions)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, in some respects we find conditions not so good; produced mostly by the improper application of the steam baths - for, instead of the aloes being in the form as in CONFORMITY to the properties as given - that PULVERIZED, or anhydrized, is too STRONG, and irritation has been the result.
In the use of the douches, to cleanse, make same more of an alkaline nature - see?
Also, in the steams at the present - use only this: To the gallon of hot or steaming water, add (in THIS manner) 5 drops of the tincture of myrrh, and the balsam of tolu (in the gum - see?) 1/2 dram. This solution made about 2 minutes - (of course kept covered before it is used) - not longer, and do not add the aloe unless it is obtained in its ORIGINAL state - for the GUM of same is that as is necessary for the addition to the properties, so that the tendency is to penetrate more into the organs themselves, as the ACTIVITIES of same produce relaxation and contraction.
We WOULD use more of the SOOTHING application in manipulation in the lumbar and sacral region.
We would be careful of the diet, as relating to that that causes irritation through the activity of the acidity in the system. Well were charcoal used for THIS body, as an absorbent in the system - but USE that as is compounded from willow charcoal and honey, or as prepared by Battle Creek appliances, or Company - see?
In those applications for the ultra-violet for this body - these should not be of LONG duration, and divide the time by not ONLY the cerebro-spinal region, but also to the frontal portion, and let this be as much over the PELVIS as over the upper portions of system. This reaction as may be set up for the SUPERFICIAL portions of system will aid.
In the application of the ointments, these should be kept much in the same manner. While seemingly irritating at times, but this must be ELIMINATED - that, as is exuded by the lymph circulation, and of the over-nervousness - yet, at times, when the pains or the irritation becomes SO SEVERE, those of a sedative of the nature that is LEAST disturbing to the hepatic circulation, may be used. Do that. Ready for questions.
(Q) Give ointment for immediate palliative relief.
(A) Not necessary for so much immediate PALLIATIVE relief, as to take care of the SECRETIONS as formed by same - but this may be COMPOUNDED a little bit later, but not at the present - and WHEN used, use as this: That of medicated ash one grain, to one-quarter ounce of pure castile, with medication of the antiseptic nature - either that of the carbolic or of the oil, as is in that of Petrol - this added, about three to five drops - see?
(Q) Is there an under function of thyroid gland?
(A) There is the TENDENCY of distress in this direction, but do not change same as yet. More of IODINE may be added, than of that as is present in system. This would be WELL to be added in a VIBRATORY form, than as given internally - even though the tendencies in food values may be helpful. Give it in the VIBRATORY form, or through that of the Radio-Active Appliance, for this change of vibration will act as palliative for the system, from JUST the plain vibration, and would let the body REST.
(Q) How many days from today will body be cured?
(A) That depends upon the response of the body. That is the same as that of swatting the fly!
That is all the questions regarding this body.
The body is doing well. Only be a little patient. Just know that, will the body keep itself in as close attunement to those applications being made as is possible, it will grow - with the reliefs as are brought for physical reactions in the system. Be a little patient, be VERY persistent, and also consistent. We are through with this reading.
