1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he has submitted as I ask them:
2. EC: We have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, the body is very good in many respects.
4. There are those better reactions between the upper and the lower hepatic circulation than we have had for some time, yet there is the inclination for the uric reaction, - as indicated from the pains in the neck and the shoulder.
5. We would use occasionally the Watermelon Seed Tea, which will materially aid in eliminating this from the system. There is just sufficient of the nitre here, and in the right proportions, to act upon the gastric flow to remove these disturbances which cause the pressures. For, as indicated by the applications of heat, the lotions, and even the pressures that have been made in portions of the spine, the condition arises or has its source IN the circulation itself.
6. The Tea would be made preferably in this manner: Crush or grind a teaspoonful of the Watermelon Seed, as in an old coffee grinder, see? Then pour over same a pint of boiling water, and let steep as tea. About this quantity would be taken during the day, you see, but divided into two doses. This, after being taken for two or three days, should make for such changes in the activity of the coordination of the eliminations of the system as to relieve the disturbances entirely.
7. The activities of the pancreas are much improved. The use of the character of nitre as combined in the Watermelon Seed Tea will NOT cause a disturbance in the system.
8. Occasionally a thorough massage to coordinate all of those portions of the body throughout should make for much bettered conditions.
9. During such periods when there are the stimulations to

the centers, we would have a little more special reference to the centers from which the vagus area emanates - or the 3rd dorsal and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical; and we will find the feelings through face and head will also disappear.
10. Keep in these ways and manners, being mindful that you don't get the feet wet and let them remain so; and we should keep near normal influences and forces for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Are there any special precautions that should be taken before sailing for Italy? (A) Only these, as we find, as we have indicated for the body. We will find there will be the inclinations for some nausea, after the second or third day, but if the body will rest sufficient and not overeat, and take the properties that we have indicated for keeping an equal balance (and keeping the eliminations very well), the body should make a very good sailor. Take Atomidine with you to this country, for you will need it for a better activity. This should be taken occasionally to purify the glands, because of the manner of diet and the changes as will be in this country. Keep more to the fruits and nuts than to the meats of that country, or to the combinations of starches that are ordinarily used there. The Atomidine would be taken one to two drops in half a glass of water of morning before any meal is taken, for four to five days. And it will depend upon the feelings of the body as to how often this becomes necessary. When there is a little tendency for heaviness in the head, or a little pain as may come through portions of the abdominal area, this will be rather as a sign that the glandular system needs stirring. Of course, being close to the coast will make a great deal of difference in the quantity of the iodine, but it is not so much the breathing of same that will be needed but the ASSIMILATING of same. And Atomidine is one way in which it is easily assimilated - and not overtax the heart.
13. (Q) Should anything else be taken that he might need and not be able to get there? (A) There are many things he'll be able to get there that he may not get here, that would be very well! but don't take too much of the wine - except the red wine!
14. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) These we would do; and keep well balanced in the spiritual angle of its whole associations.
