1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [142] - this we have had before. We find there are some specific conditions existent in the physical functioning of the body, produced by irritation through non-digestion in the system and the resultant effects of poisons by the accumulation through the system, and the unbalancing of the equilibrium between the intestinal or the upper and lower hepatic circulation.
2. This was produced, primarily, by eating of something disagreeing with the body, and the eliminations being checked, causing clogging up of poisons in the system. This has been eliminated to some extent, yet there is at present sufficient of these poisons distributed through the system as to cause inertia, inactivity, and the tendency of drowsiness, and the breath bad, and the tendency towards temperature - though not ABOVE normal, save spasmodically. The cleansing of the system is very good, in so far as it has gone - but, as given, there are still evidences of these resultant conditions, or the clogging of system through these conditions, and with the metabolism already low - especially as to the division in the system as respecting replenishing forces for a developing body, this needs rather the careful attention, that this equilibrium in digestion and elimination, and in the metabolism, may be perfectly established so that the nominal development may be near normal.
3. We would be rather careful of the diet FIRST, and this should be kept up at LEAST until the condition is ENTIRELY relieved. We would first establish, then, the near normal condition between the hepatics and the activity of liver and kidneys, without the strain on the mucous or serum producing forces of the intestinal digestion, or of unbalancing the lachrymal conditions as existent through the system, or of the producing through these ducts an irritation. This may be established by first using those properties in the system

(Castoria) in small BROKEN doses, see? beginning with only a few drops, giving same every half an hour until there is the full action from the system, the eliminations fully established. THEN, as for medicinal properties, leave same off. Only twice each day give an intestinal antiseptic in the form of one to three drops of Glyco-Thymoline in teaspoonful of water; and see that the system is sufficiently covered or flooded with water through the alimentary canal, or drinking. Give more water as medicinal properties.
4. Do not give the body apples raw, or BANANAS in any form. Rather let THIS be an outline for a diet, though, necessarily, this may be modified occasionally to meet the needs of a DEVELOPING and growing body.
5. Of mornings: Cereals - these changed from dry to the cooked. Cream of Wheat or Wheatena, or Oatmeal, or Grape Nuts, or Corn Flakes, or Rice Flakes - with the cream MIXED - not full raw. First giving a small amount of orange juice.
6. In the middle of the day, or noon lunch: JUICES (not the meats, but the juices) of meat. Broths or something of that nature, with a minimum amount of sweet.
7. In the evenings: This may be changed with those of spinach, of lentils, beans, and broths - with those of prune juice, or such. These of course may be alternated. Cooked apples, if they are of the jenneting (Jonathan?) variety, may be given. None of those of the more woody variety, as those of Ben Davis or of Wine Sap, or of the fall or woody variety. These should NOT be given this body in ANY manner.
8. As for the creating of the proper conditions in the digestive system, the Bulgarian Milk or BUTTERMILK, properly handled. PREFERABLY those of the Bulgarian would be the better, this adding sufficient of the lactic and lacteals for the system for the proper stimulation through the lacteal ducts on the lachrymal system, or the changing into the new forces for the blood supply.
9. Keep the body under the sunlight, either directly or artificially, as much as possible. This for the strengthening of the blood supply and for the activity of the chrysalis, or of the forces as will build calcium in the system. Do that.
10. Ready for questions.
11. As for trips, or for those conditions as might or would come to the body through changes of scenes or environmental conditions - as has been given respecting the body, the sea trip, while upsetting in a manner, would NOT be detrimental to the body, provided the proper care is taken as respecting

the diet. Keep closer to those elements as would create lime in the system. On such a voyage (if sea voyage taken), use those of equal parts of cinnamon water and lime water as an alternative for the settling of the stomach and digestive system. The sun and sand would be well for the body.
12. We are through for the present.
