1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. Now, as we find, there are some exaggerations or inflammations existent in the system, produced by cold and congestion with some conditions that arise from the old condition in the colon. This produces a form of semi-cocci in the blood stream that makes for inflammation, especially in the membranes about the brachial and secondary cardiac plexus area; producing then an inflammation in the bronchi and larynx which causes the cough. This sympathetically makes for irritation in the soft tissue of face and head; at times producing, then, a dull headache with nausea in the pit of stomach, with heaviness in the abdominal regions, and a throbbing in the feet. This condition comes and goes, as the pressure is created by the amount or numbers of the inflammation, or those tendencies in the blood to produce pressure by plethora or by an overactivity of the lymph circulation in the various portions of the system.
2. In meeting, then, the needs in the present, we will find that these will relieve the condition and make for a near normalcy for the body - first we would prepare as this:
3. To 2 ounces of horehound add 8 ounces of distilled water. Reduce this by slow boiling to 2 ounces. To this add 2 ounces of simple syrup with 1 dram of Balsam of Tolu cut in an ounce of grain alcohol. Shake the solution together before the dose is taken. This will act as an expectorant and as a destructive force in the activity of the hepatic circulation, from the excess amount of horehound in the system. An overactivity of the kidneys or bladder may be expected, but will not produce inflammation and will relieve the pressure in the blood supply.
4. Take the Petrolagar (the non-acid kind) at least twice each day, for the agar with the oils will reduce those conditions in the duodenum and upper intestinal tract that

make the tendencies for inflammation through the colon.
5. Do this. It would be well, too, that there be given the vibrations of the electrically driven vibrator in the area of the solar plexus to the brachial plexus; not so much through the cervical area - through this shows inflammation, the stimuli should be for the activity of the liver and the hepatic circulation.
6. Following such vibrations we would give the violet ray for the superficial activity of the lymph circulation, in the same portions of the system; though it will be well when using the violet ray to run it over all the liver area and the lower portion of the stomach.
7. Do that. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Why doesn't this body regain its normal strength and weight? (A) As indicated, the inflammation in the blood stream, the tendency for the recurrence of those conditions in colon that produce inflammation, makes it easy for the body to take cold. Let's rid this from the system and then get fat!
9. (Q) What foods, if any, aggravate the cough? (A) Sweets; especially the vegetable sweets.
10. (Q) What time of day is it best for this body to take walking exercise? (A) Early in the morning.
11. (Q) What is meant by the vegetable sweets? (A) As in sweet potatoes, as in Irish potatoes, as in those where the sweet corns with some of the other vegetables of the same nature work together for detrimental conditions. Try it! Eat a piece of sweet potato and see how you'll choke up!
12. That is all the questions.
