1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [464].
3. There are some improvements, yet not so good in the abilities for activities, or for the body to gain strength.
4. As we find, we would massage into the lumbar and sacral areas an equal combination (added in the order named) of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor; or dip cloths or flannels in same and apply, with electric heat over same. This as we find would be beneficial, when there is the acute pain.
5. Also we find that a little Watermelon Seed Tea - not too much - would help to clarify and make for better activity of the kidneys, without too great a strain or stress on same. Because it tends to make for too frequent activity for the time being should not be alarming, provided it is purified. The quantity and proportions would be as follows: Crush or cut about a tablespoonful of Watermelon Seed, - pour about a quart of boiling water over these and allow to stand for thirty minutes to an hour. Then take this, about three- quarters of a glass or tumbler of it at a time - and take it once or twice a day, dependent upon the reactions of same.
6. Beware of fats or sugars in the diet.
7. The Jerusalem artichoke, as we have indicated [EC had written her to use Jerusalem artichokes but she had indicated they were out of season and hard to get.], would be MOST beneficial, as it will aid in the activity of the upper hepatic with the activity through the kidneys.
8. Do those.
9. Ready for questions.
10. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self
