1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [464]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, while some changes from the acute condition are shown, these should be attended to more thoroughly; else we may have very serious results from the accumulations and the poisons that are arising, and that have arisen, in the general physical reactions.
4. We find that the condition arises from an acute attack of intestinal flu; and, as combined with the congestions will, unless there are measures taken, leave such drosses as to be disturbing to the body.
5. First we would apply the Castor Oil Packs over the abdomen, from the lower part of stomach to the lower portions of the caecum, extending over the whole right side of the body. Have at least three thicknesses of flannel, saturated in the Castor Oil - not just poured on. Not so hot as to burn, but warm. Then, after the padding to prevent soiling the clothes or linens, apply the electric pad, and let this keep as warm as practical for the body to stand, for at least an hour.
6. Then take two heaping teaspoonsful of Sal Hepatica in a glass of water, as hot as the body can take it; and then a whole glass of water afterwards.
7. After this has acted thoroughly, then take for a few days five to six drops of Syrup of Squill (each day) as a laxative for the mucous membranes of the throat, lungs and chest.
8. Then be careful with the diet, that there are not too heavy foods taken.
9. Keep plenty of rest.
10. Keep the body and especially the feet warm.

11. Have easily assimilated foods - not too much of sweets nor too much greases; but such as cereals, soft scrambled or boiled eggs, a little whole wheat toast or milk toast or things of such natures that are easily digested - for a few days.
12. Thus we should find the recuperative forces from the poisons experienced by the body.
13. Ready for questions.
