1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Conditions here as we find are not so good. Again we find there is an inclination, from those disturbances in the liver and gall duct area, to form a combination of toxic and malarial reactions; or forming a slow temperature that is sapping the vitality of the blood stream by the impure activity through the areas in the excretory functioning of the liver, and the poor eliminations through the alimentary canal.
4. These need precautions, as well as consistency in eliminating the disturbances from the system.
5. As we find, first we would have about two days of using the hot Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area; using for about two hours each day.
6. Throughout this first series we would live practically upon a liquid and semi-liquid diet, but include cooked steel cut oats in the diet, for the effective activity of the strengthening forces to that so lacking in the blood supply.
7. After the two days, have a thorough hydrotherapy cleaning. This would mean first a vapor or semi-vapor bath; preferably with a combination of Wintergreen and Atomidine - about three drops of each in half a pint of water as the fume bath with dry heat; then the thorough rubdown.
8. This would be followed by a high enema or colonic; then another thorough rubdown with oils - Pine Oil, preferably.
9. Then take following any meal taken (this, of course, not until after this first series) a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid; first dissolved in a little water and then nearly a whole glass or more taken with same. This would be taken for about two to three days.

10. Then take the Caroid and Bile Salts Tablets; one of morning, one at the noon meal, and two in the evening - just after the meal.
11. These then may necessitate the second series, or second of the hydrotherapy treatments to stimulate the superficial circulation; THIS time the massage being principally with the Olive Oil and NOT the fume bath - though the dry heat should be a part of the treatment.
12. In the diets, keep to those that are full strengthening; as cracked wheat well cooked - this is well for the body, and the steel cut oats cooked a long time are well for the body; also vegetable soups, with not too much meat, but a good beef stock with same.
13. And take Codiron - one tablet at each meal. This would be after the second series of the hydrotherapy treatments, however.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What can be done to further overcome the bile condition? (A) This is what we have given!
16. (Q) In just what way are the conditions physically and activities mentally working against a proper balance in this body at this time? (A) As indicated, through the toxic forces created in the system.
17. (Q) Is there trouble with the heart? (A) Only as a sympathetic condition from those toxic forces in the liver area.
18. (Q) Any trouble with the kidneys? (A) Sympathetically, and the use of those properties as indicated as a part of the fume baths should aid materially in this direction.
19. (Q) Any trouble with the bladder? (A) Only sympathetically.
20. (Q) Will the applications just suggested correct the swelling of the feet, ankles and legs and apparent fluid condition? (A) They should, provided these are carried out in the manner indicated. Do that.
21. (Q) Is the condition of the eyes leading to any serious trouble? (A) The general conditions for the system as indicated, with especially the diet adhered to, and the general physical conditions improved, the eyes should improve.
