Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (No suggestion - came without asking, at end of another reading.)

1. EC: We have, now, [287], ..., Ohio.

2. The conditions are serious. The weakness from the fullness in the throat, the shortness of the breath, from the activity upon the heart, the inability of assimilation, make for great stress upon the body.

3. Keep quiet, to be sure - this is necessary; but hold fast to the Olive Oil and the Saffron Tea, with a deep rub of a counter-irritating nature to the cardiac or secondary cardiac plexus in the cerebrospinal system - this will stimulate the activity of the coordination in the circulation of the cardiac portion of the stomach, of the liver, and allay the heaviness between the circulatory forces of the heart and the liver, as to be most helpful. This we would stimulate by at least once or twice each day, at least until the period when the body is able to be on the feet again, with a compound for such rub prepared in this manner:

4. To 2 ounces of Sweet Oil (not just Olive Oil, not just Castor Oil, but old time - as it may be called - Sweet Oil), add - in the order named:

Cedar Wood Oil.........................1/2 ounce, Oil of Wintergreen.....................1/2 ounce, Sassafras Oil..........................1/4 ounce, Compound Tincture of Benzoin.............1 ounce.

These naturally separate, but shake together and massage all the body will absorb over the upper dorsal, lower cervical area, or opposite the chest and the activities of the areas indicated; a little across the lower portion of the pharynx, or the upper portion of the epiglottis, also will be helpful - the cardiac portion of the stomach itself.

5. Keep quiet, and let the diet be liquids - beef juice especially and those of such natures that give strength without the requirement of the activity of the glandular system and of the digestive forces in the present.

6. We are through for the present.
