Time of Reading 11:15 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [324]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are many changes in the general physical condition from that as we have had here before. The greater portion of these changes are for the betterment and improvement of the general conditions; while there are still those conditions that show there has not been the full elimination of that produced by the cold and congestion, which made for an infectious force that has been exhibited and that is shown in portions of the body; specifically seen in the right ear, and in those conditions where there has been infections, in the lower portion of the left foot.
3. These, as we find, may be eliminated, and assisted in the elimination of same, by the application of those conditions that will not only CHECK the infectious reactions but also aid in eradicating from the system that which causes or produces the return of same in specific places or centers.
4. Then, in those portions of the ear, or in the inner ear, we would use very small quantities - and warmed, but not heated - of diluted St. Jacob's Oil. Dilute same with Sweet Oil; one drop of Sweet Oil and two drops of the St. Jacob's Oil. Warm this and drop one drop of the mixture or solution in the inner ear, as the body is ready for rest.
5. It would be well, too, that there be used an antiseptic solution to wash or cleanse same of mornings, at time of bath, see?
6. This, as we find, will aid in overcoming the condition.
7. There should be taken those forces WITHIN the system to assist in the CLEANSING throughout the alimentary canal, or so that the CIRCULATION in REMOVING used forces may ELIMINATE the conditions from the system.
8. So, we would take Fletcher's Castoria. In taking this, however, we would add very small quantities of Senna to that already prepared in the mixture called Castoria. Take a
324-2 Page 2
teaspoonful of Castoria from the bottle, throw it away or give it to someone else if so desired! Then we would add one grain of Senna, see? Then cork bottle and shake well together. To be sure, Senna is already an active principle in the compound known as Castoria, but for this specific and particular condition with this body it would be well that the extra quantity be added in the present.
9. Then, give very minute doses of the solution for a period of at least one day, or until there is a thorough reaction from the system with the properties. Give it for one day, then skip two or three days, then repeat the dose again - see?
10. Each evening we would give the oil in the ear, and each morning use the douche or cleansing of same.
11. Take the properties within the system of the Castoria as we have outlined.
12. For that condition which we find with the foot, or the limbs; as we find, there is the necessity for considerable massaging of the feet, especially in the left foot, for the circulation doesn't work thoroughly through same.
13. In the massaging, we would use, once each day, a very small quantity of a solution of olive oil and tincture of myrrh. This would be prepared by heating the oil and adding the myrrh. Prepare about two tablespoonsful of each. Keep this in a dry, cool place. Only small quantity, with the fingers dipped into same, will be necessary to massage into the foot.
14. These, as we find, will bring about a much BETTERED condition for this body.
15. Be mindful that the diet is kept in accord with that necessary for the better conditions of the body; not too cold, not too hot, but those that will keep an even temperature for the body.
16. These will bring the better conditions for this body, [324] we are speaking of.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) How can croup be prevented? (A) Eliminate those conditions that tend to make for same! We will do so through the elimination of those tendencies for reinfections to muco-membranes of the system. These that we have outlined are to include all the conditions. When croup comes, for the time being, until the condition is eradicated from the system - which is produced by infectious forces, or tendencies from congestion, or the ACTIVITIES (if
324-2 Page 3
we want to be specific, and scientific) from the tendencies for the creation of a leukocyte within the system that becomes destructive to muco-membranes in the activity of the blood supply and the lymph circulation, we would use those things that have been given.
19. (Q) What should be done to correct constipation? (A) This we have already given. For, all of these conditions are taken into consideration. The addition to the system of those properties given, see, in the Castoria with the extra quantity of Senna added, will make for the correction of those tendencies for constipation; that comes, of course, from the milk or the feeding, or from the conditions given. There should be a general tendency for the giving of those foods that carry more weight in their activity through the system.
20. (Q) What antiseptic should be used for the wash, for the ear? (A) That which has BEEN used.
21. (Q) How can susceptibility to colds be removed? (A) By removing the cause, just as we are doing through those things that we have outlined.
22. (Q) What dosage of the Castoria should be taken? (A) Very small doses; three to four to six drops.
23. (Q) What causes lack of appetite, especially for foods that seem good for body? (A) The tendency for the creation of those forces in the system that act with the lymph circulation, see? Congestion, colds; that have not been eliminated properly.
24. (Q) What caused the fainting when she was six months old? (A) Obstructions in the alimentary canal.
25. (Q) Any other information or advice at this time that would be of benefit for this body? (A) Follow these suggestions for the present, see; for - understand - this solution given for the cleansing of the system (Castoria with the Senna) is to be given until there's full activity, see? Then wait a day or two. Then give it again, see? Then wait a longer period, then give it again! Let's ELIMINATE the causes of these conditions, which must be - as indicated - through the CIRCULATION, see, and thrown into the dross that is carried through the alimentary system. The addition of these properties in the system, especially of the Senna, will act with the DIGESTIVE system and increase appetite, increase strength, increase the ABILITY to THROW OFF those excesses of the drosses that have been
324-2 Page 4
left in system through inflammation and congestion that did exist. Do these for the present.
26. We are through. Copy to Mrs. [413] " " File
