1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [263]; this we have had before.
2. There are disturbing conditions, and as has been indicated, if these are allowed to remain, and not proper consideration given, these would produce disturbing conditions hard to be dealt with; but if there are the precautions and a consistent application of the helpful forces and influences, with consistent activity of the body, these may be eliminated.
3. These are the disturbances to be considered in the present:
4. First, the general NERVOUSNESS of the body. This arises from pressures and segregation of poisons in the abdomen, the coccyx and through the pelvis or pelvic organs; and the organs of gestation. This, then, oft is used as a means for the application of sedatives or influences that upset the digestive system, and thus add irritation at other times to the general nervous condition.
5. In meeting conditions in the present, as we would find:
6. First we would apply an alternation of Soda Packs and Honey Packs. Preferably in the Honey use the honeycomb - as much as possible of what is ordinarily termed bee bread or the OLD or STRONG honeycomb with honey in same. These would be one used one day, one the next day; or else we would make too great a drawing upon the system, upsetting the body.
7. The Soda Packs should be as hot as may be applied, over the sacral and the coccyx area. After this has been applied or been on for thirty minutes or an hour, massage into the area Iodex with the Animated Ash in same, see? This in the proportions, to an ounce of the Iodex work in thoroughly three grains of the Animated Ash. Work this with a mortar and pestle, or with a good pallet or paddle, so it is THOROUGHLY worked in. Massage just what the body absorbs.
8. We would find also that the irritation through the activity of the organs of the pelvis will be materially

aided by the use occasionally, once a week or twice a week, of the Glyco-Thymoline in the douche - Fountain Syringe to be used. This should be not hot water but not cold water, see? proportions two tablespoonsful to a quart and a half of water. This will keep down irritation.
9. Relieve the nerve pressures by general manipulations over the body.
10. And we will find, with precautions as to the diet and the activities, as has been indicated, these troubles will disappear.
11. Because these do not cause inconvenience when better, do not stop with these. This should not be necessary to keep up - the application of the Packs - more than three or four of EACH of the Packs, before it would draw to a head and then eliminate by the general eruption from the cyst.
12. Do this.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What is the cause of severe pain in stomach and back? (A) As has been indicated, a sympathetic condition.
15. (Q) In applying the Honey Packs, should this be put between thin cloths or right next to the skin? (A) Put between gauze.
16. (Q) How thick should the Packs be? (A) A quarter to half an inch.
17. (Q) Should the body be bathed in hot water before each application? (A) Not necessary; may be sponged off afterward with hot water. But apply after each of these the Iodex AND the Ash mixed together. The body should not stir about or run around while these applications are being made, or the interim BETWEEN same, but be rather quiet. For unless there IS the elimination, we are going to cause a great deal of trouble.
18. (Q) What is the condition of lungs? (A) Only sympathetic disturbance.
19. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Do these things, as we find, for this body.
20. We are through for the present. Copy to Miss [307] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
