Do those given. The eliminations, the stipulation of stimulation to congested area, quietness, as little activity as may be had, for allowing the congestion to be absorbed and eliminated through the alimentary canal, or through the perspiration. To be sure, the activity as to produce stimulation to superficial circulation is helpful [sweat baths?]. Be mindful that these do not work against, but with, that applied in the lights.

[GD's note: Immediately after the above rdg. EC left for the Reilly Health Service to obtain the sweat bath, massage, etc. had lunch with Dr. Harold J. Reilly, then ret'd to the Kahn home in time for the afternoon rdg. Then he ret'd to Staten Island to the Zentgraf home, in the worst weather that I ever remember. Cold, icy, snow, etc. EC's face was hurting him; head, throat, chest. Mr. Zentgraf met us at the ferry - EC, HLC and GD - and immediately after the evening meal EC went to bed. See 294-163 Reports, description by HLC of what took place that night, taken from pp. 36-37 of Hugh Lynn Cayce's book entitled VENTURE INWARD, published by Harper & Row in 1964.]
