1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, giving the cause of the present condition, also suggestions for the relief and cure of these conditions. You will answer any questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before.
3. Now we find, with the physical conditions as are changed under the present forces, that there is the effect of an acute condition, produced by ulcerations in the gastrics or in the duodenum. This produces the condition throughout the system, with the congestion as is seen in the nerve system by taxation, and the system attempting to produce balance in same - and inflammation and congestion as has been caused in the upper portion of the nerve system; especially in throat and bronchials, with this condition and the reaction, temperature arising from same, as well as the tendency for inertia in the mental reaction - that is, tendencies for circulation to become centralized, or rushing of blood from one portion of body to another, see?
4. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions at present, we would use - as the condition for intestinal system, stomach, etc. - those properties as would be in small quantities of chalk, bismuth, and water, and follow same with limewater and elm water in small quantities - sips taken often to reduce the pressure and inflammation; and massage in the cerebrospinal system those properties in equal parts of olive oil and tincture of myrrh - heat the oil and pour myrrh in same, massaging this well into the spine; especially from the lower dorsal to the cervical, see? bathing off the head, face and neck with a solution of alcohol to reduce temperature and to increase circulation. Do that, see?
5. Then we would - after stomach is settled - refrain from taking foods until the body calls for same. Then in small quantities of whatever is easily digested, see?
6. Do this, and we will bring about the better conditions

for the body, [137].
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What brought about this condition or caused it? (A) Overtaxation, and the general debilitation through the digestive system. Hence the flow of the blood to the central portions of the body, and taking away from head, see? With inflammation already in head, the regurgitation or flowing back produces that of the congestion, see?
9. (Q) Should the limewater and elm water be taken at different times? (A) Be taken at different times - alternated, you see. Small quantities, see? that is, teaspoonful, or a sip at the time may be given every few minutes, until there is more ease in the body from pain or from nausea, or from any of the cramp conditions that appear at times through all portions of the digestive system, see?
10. (Q) How many doses of bismuth and chalk should be given? (A) These should be given at least two hours apart, and there may be as many as ten or twelve taken, see? so we cleanse the system. Massaging the oil and myrrh - these may be taken every two or three hours until there is more strength and the body is relieved from all of the stress in head and spinal system, see?
11. (Q) What caused the ulcers in the duodenum? (A) Taxation.
12. We are through for the present.
