1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same, and you will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - we have had this before, you see?
3. Now, while we find there is great improvement in the physical forces of the body, there are STILL those existent conditions that cause distress at times to the body, and when the body is overtaxed in any manner this causes distress in the inability for the body to respond easily toward recuperative forces. These, as we see, are produced by the (that is, these disturbances) improper eliminations distributing in the body; that is, when there should be EQUALIZED eliminations - kidneys, liver and excretory system, or respiratory system acting one with another - we find first one then the other of these eliminating centers becoming OVERCHARGED, and the others not functioning properly. This produced now principally by the tie-ups, or the improper incentives as are seen radiated from the nerve plexuses in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar region. Hence the sweats or the vapor baths would prove beneficial, with massage following same. This would equalize the distribution of eliminations in the system. Hence we find how that with this unbalanced condition the assimilation of starches and fats are at times hard for the system to handle. At OTHERS the system handles these properly, see?
4. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time, we would not discontinue the use of the gold, but only take same from five to eight drops an hour before the Violet Ray is applied to the system. This will keep the functioning in proper order as pertains to the glands internal in the system.
5. The diet should be well balanced, but ALTERNATED from time to time. Not all of sweets, nor all of the starches,

nor all of fats - and fats should be the less taken in the system. Starches and proteins may be taken in the small quantities. Let the vegetable and the vegetable salts producing vegetables be the greater part of the diet. Keep these for the system, well. Drink plenty of water. Take the vapor or sweat baths at least once each week. These may be the cause of the body feeling very much depleted, but would the body [if the body would] rest for hour to two hours and a half after these baths, these WILL be found very beneficial, see? the vapor or the sweat baths, with a good rub-down following same, ESPECIALLY along the whole of the spinal column, see? Do that. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is the Violet Ray strong enough? (A) The Violet Ray is strong enough - just take more of it. Take the gold an half to three-quarters of an hour before the Violet Ray is applied. Let the gold be active in system while Violet Ray is being applied. Apply the Violet Ray over the whole of the nerve system, following out the grand lines of the nerve system - cerebrospinal nerve system - fifteen to twenty minutes each evening.
7. We are through with this reading.
