1. EC: Yes (Dewey ... [272]; Mae [272] the better), we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are DECIDED improvements in the physical forces of the body, and in the body ridding itself of those influences that have been detrimental and disturbing to the better physical functioning of the body.
3. It is true that the body may expect occasionally, and for some time, the return of those periods when there will be the excess of the eliminations from the organs of the pelvis system that have been affected by the activity of those germs that have disturbed both the organs of the body and (are shown as having gained hold in) the blood supply.
4. But, if there will be kept that mental attitude that there is being accomplished in the system that which (through the application of those elements and influences) will rid the system entirely, both through the blood supply and through those effects the germs have had upon the organs of the system - and the thought adhered to; with the diet followed in such a manner as we have stipulated for the body, to make for resuscitating forces - there need be no fear but what these conditions WILL all be ridded from the system by the beginning or middle of the coming month, as we have given!
5. True, as indicated, it will be well for the body, even after that period, to use an antiseptic douche each month before the periods; that there may be no re-infection from the excess discharge that is inevitable where there have been such conditions existent.
6. And the body should also use those precautions in those periods immediately following the monthly periods, so that the cleansing again will make for the return of the general activity of normalcy - as related to sex life, sexual

desires, and the like.
7. But for the present the douches should be kept as indicated; also the Atomidine proper taken internally in system.
8. Also it would be well that these properties be prepared, which will give - it is true - a tendency for the overflow of the discharge at times; but this must be ridded FROM the SYSTEM - see? Prepare in this manner:
9. To 3 ounces of Wild Cherry Bark (dried, now; not the green) add 16 ounces of water.
10. Reduce this by slow boiling, so that - when it is drained off - there is not more than 4 to 5 ounces of same - see?
11. To this add: Simple Syrup........................2 ounces, Tincture of Valerian..............1/2 ounce, Elixir of Calisaya................1/2 ounce, 10% solution Iodide of Potassium...10 minims, (which may be considered a small quantity, but this is that necessary for the quantity we are using), 10% solution Bromide of Potassium..20 minims, Tincture of Capsici.................1 minim, Grain alcohol.......................2 ounces.
12. Shake the solution together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful each day, or twice each day, the week before the monthly period is expected. When the flow begins, stop taking the solution - see?
13. This will be taken, of course, during that period the extra precautions are taken as to the douches.
14. Be mindful of the diet, that there are no extra quantities of fats taken.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Why do I have rheumatic pains in my knee joint, finger joints and arm muscles? (A) This is rather the system's drawing from those portions of the body that which WOULD PRODUCE TRUE rheumatic conditions! For, as is found by the body, this occurs MOSTLY of mornings and then, after normal exercise - when the body has, as it were, "warmed up" to the general activities of the day, this disappears. This is the activity of the baths, that have been given, [Epsom Salt Baths suggested by EC consciously 2/28/33 ltr! [See 272-5, Par. R4]] ELIMINATING same from system. Leave these off a while, or allow these accumulations, and you'll find RHEUMATISM will be the natural result; but these are

going to be eliminated, as the changes come about. Follow these suggestions for the present. KNOW the body will be rid of the trouble, and that it WILL be NORMAL in its life - and in its mental, physical and spiritual activities.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File
