Time of Reading 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Florida. [GD's note: No Check Physical suggestion was given for 25-3. It was volunteered immediately following three short Check Dream interpretation readings - 137-57, 538-2O, and 288-14.]
1. EC: Now, we have those conditions, as we see, in the body of [25] ..., Florida; that as, especially, regarding the condition in the limbs of the body. These should not be bound in the manner as to cause so much stress on the mental forces, as to necessitate deadening of same. These should not be drawn off (the pus or fluid from same), for this would bring the hardening of the tissue and prevent the use of the limbs later. This is not, as yet, that of a tubercular nature; rather that of the system's inability to cope with that condition in the blood that is carried to these extremities, and the eliminations being cut off by these conditions in system, as have been applied, bring the concentrated condition in these lower portions. Rather would we apply THIS to this body; removing these casts, or bandage, we would apply this:
2. First, using saturated solution of Epsom Salts, and bind this about the knee and limb, for thirty to sixty, to seventy-five, minutes - have this warm, see? Then, bathe off in tepid water, and bind about this a warm solution (thick) of Antiphlogistine Balm, and let this remain for hour to two hours. Then bathe off, and massage gently into the affected portions equal parts of Olive Oil and of Tincture of Myrrh.
3. Then, after this has been left for an hour to two hours, repeat with Salts, then with the Balm, until this condition is reduced.
4. In the meantime, taking into the system these properties:
5. To the mixture of the 6 ounces of dried Garden Sage, added to 16 ounces of distilled water, simmered, NOT BOILED, but reduced to 8 ounces, and strain. This as the base, see? Add:
Tincture Valerian.............1 ounce,
25-3 Page 2
Extract Stillingia............1 ounce, Tincture Polk Root...........20 minims, Fluid Extract Wild Cherry.....2 ounces, Syrup of Sarsaparilla.........1 ounce, Extract Calisaya Bark.........1 ounce.
6. Shake the solution well together, see. Then add 4 ounces grain alcohol, with 2 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in it. Then add this to the solution. Shake this well together each time before dose is taken, which would be two teaspoonsful four times each day, and this we find will bring about the condition necessary to relieve this body, [25].
7. Do that.
8. We are through with this reading.
