At home on the Time of Reading first road about 4:00 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. 4 mi. east of ..., a white house facing ..., ..., Miss.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [654]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, many conditions are changed from that as we have had here before; yet we find in the present those conditions which are causing the greater distress, and so much disturbance with the general nervous system, the cause of periods of anxiety, and the inclination towards worrying over things that are of themselves of little import - that for the moment appear so disturbing. These are really from a physical reaction, produced by a physiological and a pathological condition.
4. From the cold and congestion, we find that recurrent conditions of neuralgia have been produced through the womb area, or the organs of the pelvis. This is that heaviness which is so oft felt in lower portion of the abdomen, and at times causes a great deal of disturbance to the activity of the kidneys and to the bladder.
5. As we find, this would respond the better to the use of body-temperature douches - not colder, nor hotter, than body-temperature; and to a quart of the water used, put a half teaspoonful of Atomidine.
6. When there are the pains across the small of the back, or just below the waist line, apply first an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor, as an ointment. Rub this across the area and then put a pad of hot salt over same, or hot flannel packs and the electric pad.
7. This as we find, combined with the douches (which should

be taken every two or three days), should relieve these disturbances, relieving the tension or numbness through the lower limbs.
8. And then keep better eliminations, using for such - after the heavier meal each day - a little Alcaroid; a quarter to half a teaspoonful first dissolved in a little water, and then a full glass of water added; and take regularly, for at least four weeks, a heaping teaspoonful of SERUTAN each day - this to be dissolved in warm water, or warm milk, and eaten at the meal time - once each day, preferably at the evening meal.
9. These kept consistently, as we find, will bring the better conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What keeps me so weak? (A) The nerve strain as produced upon the whole of the nervous system, by swelling of organs as well as the general irritation through the pelvic system.
12. (Q) Is there any growth in my womb or stomach? (A) As we find, no growth, but rather a tendency towards plethora because of the expansion or plethora condition of the organs themselves.
13. (Q) What causes the small dark or black moles coming on my back and stomach? (A) Poor circulation; which may be aided, as indicated, by the increasing of better assimilation and the keeping of regular eliminations. Do these as indicated.
14. We are through with this reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file ile
