1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [715]; this we have had before.
2. In some respects conditions are somewhat improved; in others there are still those disturbing conditions that make for a strain upon not only the physical organism of the body but upon the nervous forces as they react upon same through the irritation and anxiety that is produced by the conditions. These are as shown from the congestion in the organs of the pelvis that arise from not a tubercular condition but rather congestion that prevents the normal functioning of the organs through those irritations that have been produced by those activities in the use of the douches in too great a strain upon the sensitive organisms of the organs themselves.
3. We would make applications rather in this way and manner for the upbuilding for the body:
4. First be very mindful about the diet. Let this be more body-building. Adhere rather to a strict diet, according to this as an outline:
5. Mornings - citrus fruit juices; preferably orange juice with a little lemon, and grapefruit juice with a little salt in same; with coddled egg, whole wheat browned toast, occationally a little CRISP bacon may be taken; or cereals dry with milk and fruit - these may be taken occasionally, but the greater portion should consist of the citrus fruits instead, or at least three or four days of each week we would use citrus fruit juices at the morning meal.
6. Noons - preferably a raw green vegetable salad, with whole wheat wafer, or the juices of vegetables and broiled liver or tripe.
7. Evenings - a well-balanced cooked vegetable diet, with fowl, lamb, wild game or fish; NOT hog meat at any time save the bacon and the tripe as indicated. No red meat. Beef JUICES may be taken, but not the flesh; for this is hard

upon the digestive forces of the body.
8. Take at least three times each week a teaspoonful of Ventriculin WITH IRON. This should be taken preferably as the body is ready for retiring, and with warm milk afterward.
9. As to the applications for the conditions through the system, we would every other day use a light douche of tepid water with the Atomidine in same; a tablespoonful to half a gallon of the tepid water.
10. When the pain is severe across the abdomen or the back, we would apply the Epsom Salts packs; this may be done in the evenings, and when applying same use the electric pad to keep the heat about same.
11. These, as we find, if they are adhered to, will make for the better physical forces.
12. As a tonic to work with the changing of the blood supply as related to the sympathetic or vegetative nervous system, especially of the organs through the pelvis, we would prepare a compound in this way and manner:
13. To 4 ounces of distilled water add 2 ounces of strained honey. Let this come ALMOST to a boil. Then add these: Essence (or a FUSION of) Wild Ginseng......1/2 ounce, Tincture of Stillingia.....................1/4 ounce, Essence of Indian Turnip...................1/4 ounce, Fluid Extract of Tolu......................1/2 ounce. Shake this together. Add sufficient alcohol to keep same, which would be an ounce and a half of pure grain. Shake this together before the dose is taken, which would be a teaspoonful before each meal; and EAT THE MEALS AS HAS BEEN INDICATED!
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is there any relief for nausea? (A) The activities of those properties given should relieve the nausea. If this continues, prepare: Limewater..................................1/2 ounce, Cinnamon Water.............................1/2 ounce, 10% solution Iodide of Potassium............10 minims, 10% solution Bromide of Potassium...........10 minims. A teaspoonful in a third of a glass of water will relieve the nausea.
16. (Q) What causes tingling, creepy sensation on left side of back? (A) Congestion in the organs of the pelvis.
715-3 Page 3
17. (Q) Are kidneys involved? (A) Only sympathetically, as yet.
18. (Q) What causes headaches and drawing of muscles in back of neck? (A) Nervousness from those pressures producing the irritation upon the organs of the system, from the stomach and the pelvic organs.
19. (Q) What are dry looking spots on lower limbs? (A) The effect of the poor circulation in this area.
20. (Q) Have been taking a quart of milk daily - so tired of it. Can I get along on less? (A) Can get along without any, if you'll use those things that have been indicated! Be well were this changed to this way and manner of taking the milk: Between the breakfast and the noon meals, in the middle of the morning, we would take a SMALL glass of the MALTED milk in which there would be put a few drops (three to four) of Jamaica Ginger. Then in the middle of the afternoon we would take a malted milk with EGG and a few drops of spirits frumenti in same; or half a teaspoonful.
