1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes.

3. Here we have acute conditions arising from a congestion through the colon area.

4. And with the application of so much heat there has been brought on those irritations through the activity of the organs of the pelvis; producing a strain upon the general system.

5. Thus a spasmodic condition or reaction has been caused through the womb, as well as the ovarian area also.

6. As we find, first, in the present:

7. We would apply a combination of three parts Laudanum to one part Aconite over the areas where there is pain; that is, the right ovarian area, the ascending colon area and portions of the transverse colon, especially on the right side. Paint the area with a small brush, camels' hair preferably. Then apply hot Castor Oil Packs. Wring at least three or four thicknesses of flannel out of the warm Oil - not so hot as to produce too great an amount of heat through the area, but warm. Apply such a Pack about every hour - taking it off, re-painting, and then applying again, until a little bit easy; that is, until there is not such acute pain.

8. Then take a high colonic irrigation, using the colon tube. To each quart of water, body-temperature, put a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda - well dissolved. This would be better taken with the body upon hands (or elbows) and knees, see? and gradually, as it is given, work the abdominal area from the caecum side ACROSS the body; gently, but sufficient of this so we may remove the impactions there.

9. If on the morrow, or the next day, there is a continuing or a return of temperature, the body should then go to hospitalization for greater consideration of these

conditions; but these applications as indicated should reduce the conditions, so that it may be handled by themselves.

10. Do that - IMMEDIATELY!

11. We are through with this Reading.
