1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Conditions are much improved from that as we have had before. The activity of the excretory system is nearer in keeping with normal action, though much drosses are yet to be eliminated from system and a normal equilibrium established in the system.

2. We would begin in the afternoon and evening, taking broken doses of Castoria, and flush the system thoroughly - drinking in the meantime plenty of water and keeping in the air and sun and away from wind. Exercising of the body in a NOMINAL manner is good. Eat that that will be easily assimilated at first, but EAT! Milk very good, but more of those properties that will add in strength building. This may be peculiar, that milk not carrying all necessary, but the casein in same not well with the PRESENT condition existent. More of that like coffee [See 303-2 6/20/71 in re coffee for protein deficiency], cocoa, tea, or such, would bring more strength, and THESE will add to nerve forces in the system - and the juices of oranges, pears, apples, or such, well to bring about the more normal conditions. Be consistent, persistent, and ACT [8/27/26 She was told in 288-16, Par. 6-A to eat more meat]. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) How much Castoria should be taken? (A) As given, until the system is flushed. It'll be flushed, if it'll take it!

4. (Q) How much at a dose and how far apart? (A) Begin with teaspoonful every half hour - increase it until there is at least nine hundred drops taken.

5. (Q) What should the body eat? (A) Those easily assimilated, as cereals, fruits, eggs, broths - ANYTHING. There is as much of the necessity of filling the system, of the weight in same and its activity, as of any activity for the body, see? Just keep 'em well balanced! Small doses Phosphate of Soda well to be taken along until the Castoria is begun, (Don't begin these until evening) to add that which is alkaline reaction.

6. (Q) Should the Phosphate of Soda be taken along with the Castoria? (A) No, as given, take these before. It's some hours before evening! Strength is needed, as is that of alkaline reaction.

7. We are through for the present.
