1. EC: We have had the body here before.
2. As we find, while conditions are improved from that as we have had at times, there are still the warnings that should be adhered to as we have indicated for the body; and especially as to the character of the diet and the necessity of there being kept the proper balance in the system.
3. Because an excess of acidity by over-exposure, overactivity, or from congestion, produces - as has been indicated and is indicated by the weakness in the body - a disturbing condition, DO NOT get the idea that tubercle has begun to be active. It has NOT! There is a weakness to be sure - there are the inclinations; but the Mind is the Builder, and if there are those properties taken that have been outlined we may meet these conditions. Take those things outlined for the colds, for the pains - these in their regular relationships one to another. If there is the feeling of cold or congestion, or the shaky feeling, take one grain of the Calcidin. This may be taken to or three times a day, but when taken take sufficient - that is, take it at least an hour, two to three hours apart - take sufficient to get the iodine reaction from same. This will not only relieve the distress or pain but will allow for a better oxidization of the blood supply through the lungs.
4. Make the deep inhalations of the brandy as a cleansing of the throat, the bronchi, the lungs - this from the keg as has been indicated. This of a morning and evening, a couple of times, should be sufficient.
5. Then for the diet: Be mindful that either the liver extract (such as Valentine's) or Beef Juices are a part of the diet each day. Beware of too much of starches that tend to clog the system, and to increase the acidities of the system.
6. The rubs that have been indicated with an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Turpentine and Camphor will be beneficial; more so, of course, if heat is applied -

preferably salt heat, though the electric pad may be used if more convenient. The salt heat is much better.
7. Keep the feet dry. Do not overtax the system. And doing these, we will find improvements for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Why is it that stopping or lifting the slightest weight completely exhausts me? (A) The straining of the body, or upon the pressures from which the soreness radiates - which is from about the 2nd or 3rd dorsal center.
10. (Q) Why the difficulty is arising when I'm lying down? (A) From the same reason. Use the hot packs and the Calcidin, and this should be clarified - if the nasal passages, the throat are kept cleansed by the use of the inhalent.
11. (Q) Since my work is so hard, would it be better to try for something else? (A) Do not give up the present until there is an assurity of something else. If you look upon the work as being hard, it will grow harder! If you look upon self as being equipped for this, then DO IT!
12. (Q) What can I do to find mental peace? (A) Only by the looking within, trusting in the Creative Forces. Meditate often, SINCERELY! Do not speak one way to thy Lord and another to thy brother!
