Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Michigan. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [480].

2. As we find, there have been those relaxations through a nerve strain mentally and physically through which the body has recently passed, such as to cause - through the periods of menstruation - an overflow, or a too quick return with an extra or abnormal amount. This has come from the high nervous tension under which the body has been laboring.

3. To meet the immediate needs, we would massage the body - especially from the 9th and 10th dorsal area to the lower portion of the spine - with equal parts of Tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil, HEATING the oil and adding the myrrh. This would prevent much of this disturbance.

4. Also as an effective reaction to prevent the irritation, we would STEAM those portions of the puba and the buttocks with a basin of hot water in which there would be put - to two gallons of water almost boiling - a tablespoonful of Essence of the Tincture of Tolu, or Essence of Tolu, with the same quantity of Compound Tincture of Benzoin. This should be done about once or twice in two or three days. Remain over same, stooping over same, with those portions of the body exposed - over the steam - for fifteen to twenty to thirty minutes.

5. We would have the gentle manipulations, but the relief will be brought most in the immediate by the massage with the Tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil over those portions indicated.

6. Be sparing with the meals, but have those things that are body-building.

7. Leave off the Tonicine for the present.

8. We are through with this reading.
