1. GC: You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [257]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is present condition of colon and place of operation? [4/23/40 He had colon tumor removed.] (A) This is very good in the present. There are those tendencies in the lower portion or the colon, before reaching that area where there were the operative measures, for the formation of gas - at times. This comes more from the hurried eating, or the lack of eating at times. We would take Glyco-Thymoline and a little Lactated Pepsin occasionally. This doesn't mean taking it all at once, nor forgetting about it for a week. But at least once a day, after whichever is the heaviest meal - whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, or the night meal as taken at times - take ten drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in half a glass of water. Then the next morning, or the evening of the same day if the Pepsin is taken in midday or before, take three to four drops of Glyco-Thymoline in water. This will help the body.
5. (Q) What caused one drop of blood [from rectum] yesterday and no more to show? Is there a warning in this? (A) This is in the lower portion of the rectal area, not from the upper part of the body. And the oil enema as indicated, with the Glycerine and the use of the other properties in same, should be sufficient - if this is recurrent.
6. (Q) What should I do about kidney condition? What causes it? (A) This is nervousness. Changing of the conditions through the alimentary canal should relieve this pressure.
7. (Q) Has the overproduction of potash in my system stopped?

(A) It's better balanced in the present.
8. (Q) Condition of liver? (A) This is very good in the present.
9. (Q) What should be done to eliminate any further danger of skin itching? (A) Keep in those attitudes, as well as activities, that have been indicated; in the use of the hydrotherapy occasionally, and bathing portions of the body where there is any tendency, with the Prescription DDD.
10. (Q) Is present taking of sun and salt water helpful, considering this condition? (A) This is very apt to make a series of upsetting in this direction, if taken too much. Stay in the shade more, but rest.
11. (Q) Every day or so I take one ounce of gin with water, lemon and ice. Is that harmful or helpful? (A) If taken too often it will be harmful. Keep a little farther apart; skip one now and then, will be better.
12. (Q) Why am I so short of breath occasionally, when I walk or exercise? (A) The natural tendencies for the increasing of the pressure of the blood supply through the body. A flowing of the thrombose to the liver and heart, as of being overfull. This means that as age creeps up, you need to slow down!
13. (Q) What exercise should I take at Las Vegas, N. Mex., when I get there - (A) (Interrupting) Yes - when get there! Take horseback riding, and walking, golfing and swimming.
14. (Q) What foods best for me out there, and while traveling? (A) Very light foods while traveling. No heavy foods at all. During the stay there, if there is activity, eat those foods according to the climate. These, as we have indicated, are the more preferable. Hence most of the diet would include vegetables; fish and fowl being taken in moderation.
15. (Q) How about fish out there? (A) We just gave fish.
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file e
