1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.

2. While complications are serious and the vitalities of the body are low, the very dominant forces of the will and the desires may make for the holding on to expression in this tortured physical body.

3. As we find, that as has been administered [by the doctor] - while helpful - if this would be changed rather to not so severe in its activity upon the heart would be more effective.

4. The swelling below the diaphragm, in the abdomen, the lower limbs, owing to much of the very position and the lack of the ability of the flow of circulation - these stagnated portions become then the more disturbing factors to be reckoned with.

5. But with the care as respect to eliminations by the use of enemas, and the application of Epsom Salts (hot) over abdomen and the same over the limbs, with rubs following same, these should bring ease; as well as the opportunity for the effect of the domination of desire of expression to manifest.

6. These we would do.

7. Naturally, the gentle massage osteopathically; this to be across the lumbar and lower dorsal preferably.

8. Do that. Ready for questions.
