1. EC: Yes. As we find, the conditions are much different in the body from that we have had here before. Not as many precautions are taken, especially as in reference to the diet.
2. As we find in the present, from those conditions that are of the acute nature, where the poisons from phlegm and cold, congestion, some temperature, the aching, are exhibited in the body, these arise from toxic forces in the system and the general debilitation.
3. First, we would dissolve five grains of Calcidin in two ounces of distilled water. Keep this warm. Take half a teaspoonful every half hour during the rest of this day.
4. Take a mild purgative, such as found in Fletcher's Castoria in very small doses; half a teaspoonful every half hour, and we will find by noon tomorrow the body should be feeling near normal!
5. In the evening when the body is ready to rest, massage very thoroughly into the chest and along the cerebrospinal system, over the lung area up to the neck and head, equal parts mutton tallow, turpentine and camphor. Of course, dissolve the mutton tallow and add the other ingredients. Let it cool, and then massage thoroughly into these portions, over the chest and throat and head.
6. Be mindful with the diet, that there are not acids; for colds and congestions arise from acid conditions in the system. Not so much starches. More of the fruit and vegetable juices, or fruit and vegetables in bulk.
7. Not for this acute condition, for the general toxin condition, take eight to ten drops of Sweet Spirits of Nitre once a day just before retiring, for three days. Then leave it off for three days. Repeat this procedure three times, and we will find conditions greatly improved.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Why the hoarseness?
307-7 Page 2
(A) Cold, congestion.
10. (Q) What causes lack of resistance? (A) Poor assimilation and non-conformity to those suggestions for the character of diet.
11. (Q) Have my activities been too strenuous? (A) At times too strenuous. Follow these suggestions, as we find in the present, and we will relieve and bring normal conditions for this body, [307].
12. We are through for the present.
