1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: As we find, there has been too much exertion of the body physically as well as mentally; so that the effects of anaesthesia to the balance between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous systems, as combined with toxic forces from lack of proper eliminations, cause distress of heart and the pulsation - or of the blood pressure - and the quickening pulsation.

3. Quiet, with the gentle but sure eliminations, even though oil enemas are given. This would be beneficial if properly given, harmful if improperly given.

4. Do that.

5. Keep quiet; not so much mental and physical activity; and increase the eliminations.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) What should be taken to increase eliminations? (A) As indicted, best that these be increased by oil enemas, and then watching the diet, and being REGULAR with eliminations.

8. We are through for the present.
