1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find there are much of the same conditions existent as has been given for the body aforetime [See 288-21, Par. B1] when such conditions arose in the system. We find the liver not acting at all in the manner of the excretions from same giving off to the body those properties necessary to produce assimilations in the body. Hence we find there are about those centers from which radiate the activity of the organ in its entirety - both from that of the lower portion of the 7th dorsal and to the 2nd lumbar - those conditions where incentives for reaction appear as direct pain on the nerve impulse, and the reflex to same is to head and to the whole body as an exterior reaction; that is, the appearance to the body is as of two bodies, one warring with another within its own self, or as being cramped or encased within self.
2. That needed would be, begin with half grain calomel and sanasene [salicin? santonin?] or blue mass [CRC Tablets?], and take at least four to five such tablets - half an hour apart, see? following same in the morning with saline - preferably that of small dose of salts - following in the evening with that stimuli to the whole system as would be found in dosage of Alophen with that of Aspirin and of those elements that give to the system that of better reaction to assimilation, as Asaphoetida or of such nature. [GD's note: Later [Also 4/9/28 See 900-381] details were given as follows: 1 Alophen pill, 2 Aspirin tablets, 1 five grain Asaphoetida pill and 1 jigger of good Rye Whiskey, at bedtime. Sleep well covered, as it will cause you to perspire.] These, with stimuli to the centers through activity of spirits frumenti that produce a sudden calling, as it were, of blood to stomach proper. The body will feel washed, or over well drained, but the conditions would be removed. Do that. Ready for questions.
3. With conditions as come to the physical forces of the body, let the body be consistent in the activities as to
288-21 Page 2
exercise mental and physical; as to well balanced and well regulated diet; for not well to digress from that as is produced in system for reaction in proper order. Be regular, whether much or little - not eating much once, not eating anything next time, and then over gorging again. Be consistent.
4. (Q) In referring to being warned of the same condition - in what way did the body not carry out those other suggestions, so that the conditions re-occur? (A) That given at the TIME carried out. The consistency not held to. Re-occurrence of the same condition, even more severe in the present - for, as given, there are no activities at present from the liver. This well tended to cause gallstones, and that as has been called appendicitis. Be warned. We are through for the present.
