1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.

3. Now, we find there are changes in the physical forces of the body since we had this here before. The normal developments as regarding the physical condition of Motherhood are taking place, while the physical forces as respecting congestion in throat and bronchials have caused distress in the body, and with the increased eliminations as are necessary to eliminate same - or the congestion from the system - through the normal channels, tends to increase the nausea as is caused by the increased circulation through the digestive system. This may be overcome by taking the mild laxative that will increase the blood supply lower in the digestive system, and thus prevent so much of the nausea. Now, these should be small or mild doses of Senna - this given in small or broken doses, rather than that sufficient to increase the upper hepatic circulation.

4. For those conditions in the cerebrospinal centers, or across the hips and small portion of back, where the pains appear at times, these, as we see, are the effect of the increased elimination through this portion of hepatic circulation, or the over stimulation to the kidneys, as is necessary under the existing conditions. These will be assisted by massaging, as has been done - yet we would use WITH this massage that of equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh, heating the Olive Oil and pouring the Myrrh in while Oil is warm or hot. Do not prepare more than is massaged into this portion of the body.

5. The diet as is necessary will be those that give strength to the body in blood and bone builders, and this will be found best in as much of the beef tea as may be assimilated

by the body, taken in small quantities - even just a sip at the time OFTEN will prove beneficial, without producing nausea, and will be assimilated and strengthening to the body. This will also give the body strength to overcome those conditions as are produced by the congestion from cold, just as those properties as were taken by the body - (given in undertone) - as were given from those forces as come from the mother - [139] these will give strength and aid the body. Necessary that the body rest a great deal, yet sufficient exercise to keep strength for the body.

6. Fruits - apples, provided they are of the Jenneting or Arkansas Black - not other kinds. Best were these roasted than raw. Other fruits and nuts in mild or in small quantities may be taken. All of that of vegetables that may be ASSIMILATED without causing too much pressure in the digestive system. Do that.

7. (Q) How much Senna should be taken for one dose, and how often? (A) In the broken doses - this would be well to be given under the physician's care, for those have been given for the body in a different formation. Would be one-quarter to one-half grain, but these would be broken up. Ready for questions.

8. That is all the questions.

9. We are through for the present.
