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

2. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before.

3. Now, we find in many respects the body shows considerable improvement from that as we have had here before. While there is considerable of the nerve tension still shown in the functioning of the body, yet the general relaxation and the added forces from the contact with air, sunshine, outdoor, bring better conditions for the body.

4. We would, however, change now for some conditions that are to be met through the bringing about of the proper eliminations as affect the system as a whole, so that there may be less irritation and more blood and nerve building for the body.

5. At least once to twice each week there should be the thorough massage over the whole body, with the full alignment of the cerebrospinal system, that there may be no impingements, or no conditions that are left in the body through such conditions.

6. And add for the general building as this, for a tonic, blood purifier, and for the general upbuilding of the body:

7. To one-half gallon of rain water, or distilled water, add: Sassafras Root Bark (gathered green)....1 ounce, Prickly Ash Bark........................1 ounce.

8. Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to one-half (1/2) the quantity. Then add: Simple Syrup............................1 ounce, Tincture Valerian.....................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya.........................1 ounce.

9. Cut one (1) dram Balsam of Tolu in two (2) ounces of

grain alcohol and add to solution.

10. Shake well together before the dose is taken. Take teaspoonful half an hour before each meal - and there will be no trouble in eating the meals after a few days!

11. Keep the eliminations thoroughly throughout the system. Be careful that this is looked after, and that plenty of water is taken, externally and internally.

12. Keep up the massage until at least the whole of the quantity of medicinal properties is taken - and take all of these unless they should show that there is disintegration in the properties. Well that this be kept in a cool place. Do that. Ready for questions.

13. (Q) Would it be best, then, to move the body home while these treatments are given? (A) No! Best to keep in the air and in the country!

14. We are through for the present.
