1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find there is the re-occurence of much of the same condition as has been described. Other than this, rather the acute condition arising from that eaten, and the effect it (the properties eaten) had upon the condition still existent, but rather in a dormant state. The liver and the condition through that portion of the digestive system acted upon by the bile and juices from the liver and duodenum, pancreas, not acting nominally, and that which brings about, or brought about, acute conditions - then brings that same effect in the system where non-eliminations causes the pressure in various portions of the system; threw that upon the intestinal tract itself, by the creation of gases that in themselves are poisonous in their reaction to the system, see?
2. The hot packs, as given, with the Castoria, would remove this the quicker, see? Then keep those manipulations and the changes as will bring - from the use of the oil as given (olive oil), and of eliminants - and will keep the system nearer cleansed. Well were ambrosia weed used as an ELIMINANT, until the system is THOROUGHLY cleansed; that is, after the specific condition, or acute condition, has been removed, see? Change it in the quantity as would be taken, and alternate with Castoria - which will cleanse the system without creating any condition wherein the system depends upon same - provided the oil is used, and care taken with diet. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Would the sweat baths be beneficial? (A) After the system is started to be cleansed. Not with the system in the present condition. It would make the body too easy to take cold.
4. (Q) How should the ambrosia weed be taken? how fixed? and in what quantity? (A) Depending upon whether taken dry or whether taken in the tea. As a tea, would be as that as has been given, in

its proportion for same. Three ounces to sixteen ounces of water, and reduce to one-half the quantity. The dose (in this case of course necessary to add preservative for same - the syrup and the alcohol) would be teaspoonful, or two teaspoonsful, or three teaspoonsful, depending upon that necessary condition to be created in the system. Alternate with the Castoria. If taken in the powdered form, will be the same as Simmon's Liver Regulator - which is that preparation from this, with licorice and with senna added. The properties itself, with that of the Castoria, in the liquid, would be preferable in this condition, for this body. First remove the condition, however, by those of the packs, see? and Castoria, with the treatments, see? THEN, with the acute condition removed - to keep this up is to ELIMINATE from the system the CAUSES of the condition, but the olive oil must be kept also, for this is as the food value for the mucus-producing portion of the intestinal tract throughout, and especially of those in the region of the duodenum and the pancreas, with the active juices of the liver. What the body needs is for the liver to act in coordination with the digestive system, as well as eliminations through blood supply and the secretions as thrown off through the rest of the system. The whole respiratory system needs to be active, but to make the respiratory system overactive by sweats, with the present existent condition, would NOT be beneficial. This will be beneficial after the conditions are set up in the system where the ORGANS are functioning, and not throwing the whole of the condition upon the eliminating through the external, or through the capillary circulation. This would bring poisons to other portions of the system, making it hard to eliminate, with the eliminations already clogged in functional conditions in hepatic circulation.
5. That is all the questions.
6. We are through with this reading.
