1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [562]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are many changes in the physical conditions of this body from that we have had here before. In the corrections for those conditions that disturb the body through the caecum area and through the general assimilating system, there has been the tendency to neglect the eliminations and the balancing of those forces for that which might be assimilated by the body for its better condition. Thus the system has been overloaded to such an extent as to prevent the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, from supplying the necessary elements for the assimilating of that taken into the system; thus producing a heaviness in the whole of the abdominal area, and with the periods this makes for such a stress and strain on the system; for the vitality being used up has made for the attempts of the system to adjust itself to this overcrowded condition, and prevented the eliminations in their normal manner through these channels. Hence the pains, the swellings in portions of the body, the activities even to the reflexes in the cardiac plexus area and the shortness there of breath when the body moves about. All of these are the effects, you see, of an overcrowded system without there having been sufficient period given for the system to have accumulated the necessary forces for the body that would carry on the activities in the system for the assimilations of the forces that were created by this excess.
3. In the present, then, we would find that there should be a high enema of sufficient quantity, carrying those properties of salt and soda in the proportions that we have outlined; that is, for each gallon of water used add a level teaspoonful of salt and a heaping teaspoonful of soda, and in the rinsing or last water use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to a quart and a half (quart and a pint) of

water - as an intestinal antiseptic. Take two of such irrigations at least three days apart; not just enemas but colonics, but they may be done at home if the colonic tube is used - or they may be done by one that gives colonics. And if it becomes necessary later have others. The water should not be too warm, but body temperature - 98.
4. We find that the diet should be well-BALANCED; not too much, but a well-BALANCED diet leaning towards the alkalin nature.
5. Half an hour after the noon and the evening meals, for TWO DAYS, take a quarter teaspoonful of Al-Caroid in a full glass of water; of course, dissolving the dose first in a small amount of water and then adding to the full glass.
6. Each evening of the same two days, before retiring, take TWO Caroid and Bile Salts tablets; TWO of them, that we may stir the liver to activity.
7. As the pain becomes severe across the small of back or hips, apply a saturated solution of Epsom Salts in packs across the back and over the area. And at the PERIODS when the pain is severe, then add a pack across the puba area - which will relieve the pressure there.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What causes the headaches? (A) The pressure!
10. (Q) Was the Ragweed tea prepared properly? (A) It was prepared very good, and has had the desired effect; but there has been stress and strain on the system by the overclogging from eating.
11. (Q) Have the spinal adjustments been made? (A) Spinal adjustments have been made. There should be further massage as there is improvement from the present condition, you see.
12. (Q) When should I be able to go to work? (A) September 3rd!
13. (Q) What should be done now to bring the body to normal and keep it that way? (A) Do like we have given, and be consistent with it!
