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: Yes, we have the body here, [264].
3. Many changes of various natures have taken place in the mental and the physical forces of this body since last we had same.
4. As we find, very good precaution is being taken - and in keeping with that which has been and is the determination of the body, we would follow what has been outlined and that is being practiced much by the body.
5. Not a great deal of change would we make in suggestions.
6. For, the body has well in mind that necessary; and only self may make the mental and physical applications of those things that have been indicated and suggested.
7. Then, we would do those things and follow in the line which has been indicated.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Am I having menopause and what should I do to help conditions? (A) These are natural consequences; hence only need those general precautions that have been and are the common knowledge of all as respecting such periods. In those periods near the changes, keep from colds, of course, and overexposure or overactivity, or those things that tend to produce too great a stress on the body. There is little or nothing extra to be done, save those regular precautions.
10. (Q) What is the condition of my intestines and what should be done, or should I continue taking Castoria? [for colitis, swelling, gripping pain] (A) Rather than so much of the Castoria in the present - for this CAN become irritating, of course - we would occasionally change to other eliminants. As we have indicated for other bodies, it is well to alternate these

rather than continuing to take just one type of eliminant. Occasionally, then, we would take the Milk of Bismuth - a teaspoonful, with a few drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in same - stirred in half a glass of water. This is to cleanse the system, or to absorb the poisons. Then afterward it would be necessary to take small doses of Eno Salts or Sal Hepatica. The Sal Hepatica of course, is partially mineral, while the Eno Salts is practically all vegetable or fruit salts, see? Every now and then, also, we would use elm water, Yellow Saffron tea or the like. Thus we will keep down irritation and the too-easy fermentation that produces gas and, of course, pain at such times. We would take more and more of the citrus fruit juices. These will be better for supplying of the mineral and vegetable salts for the body. This will also aid, of course, in the conditions with the teeth and the activity of the glandular system. Or, we would occasionally take CALCIOS. This is a source of supply of calcium; but with this the fruit salts - or the mineral salts from the fruits and the like - are necessary. [See 264-56, Par. R11, R12.]
11. (Q) What else should be done for teeth? (A) As just given. Then a massage with salt and soda is preferable for the gums, or the use of Ipsab.
12. (Q) What else should I do to heal my body that I may be a channel of blessings to others? (A) This has just been given. The application of the knowledge must be construed within self. To give to do this today or tomorrow, or the next day, would make the body an automaton and not a free-willed individual! And the entity wouldn't do it anyway!
13. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (GD's note: Calcios is manufactured by the Collidal Health Products Corp., Atten. A. A. Nichoson, Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. It is a syrupy paste that sells for $2.50 a jar. According to the Readings it is the best way of assimilating free calcium. Equal quantity salt and soda in jar, dampened, used as tooth paste.

Ask for American Saffron - make as ordinary tea - use twice a week, alternated with pinch of Powdered Elm stirred in glass of water occasionally.)
