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, [760]; this we have had before.
3. Now the conditions, as we find, are gradually becoming more acute; affecting the circulation - as has been indicated - between the lungs, the heart and the liver. These are becoming more and more involved by the accumulations, or lack of the gall duct activity, and the effect of gas and LACK of digestion - because of the lack of the assimilating fluids being properly balanced in the system. Hence more and more distress is being caused.
4. This arises, as we find, from GENERAL debilitation, overactivity, overstrain in standing upon the feet, and the general activity of the body.
5. In the present we find that the best applications would be these:
6. After each meal take a small quantity of Alcaroid, even though there has been taken only a morsel of bread or a little coffee, or whatever may be taken; so that there may be the activity to aid in keeping down the formation of gas in the cardiac portion of the stomach, and the certainty of affecting same through the pyloric as well as the jejunum of the system.
7. For at least an hour each day for at least three days, we would apply the Castor Oil Packs. Then leave off for at least three days. Then it may be necessary to repeat these.
8. Follow the three days of Packs with a dose of Olive Oil; two tablespoonsful.
9. Also, after the first three-day series at least, have at least one good, THOROUGH osteopathic massage.
10. Follow each series with the Olive Oil for the eliminations.
11. This will require that the body not be too active, at least for the first three days, or first four days, while

these are being active upon the eliminations. Rest sufficiently often, and especially lying upon the right side if possible.
12. Through this particular period, the principal portion of the diet would be fruit juices - as grapefruit juice, and orange juice, but using the fresh fruit - combining a little lemon with same. A little whole wheat toast or the like may be taken with same.
13. At times also it would be well to take the Charcoal Tablets - two or three of these at once.
14. This will necessitate, because of their ability to absorb, that there be better eliminations by the use of colon irrigations, or to flush the colon.
15. Then as we find, as this activity is gradually started, we will remove the pressure of gas upon the heart itself, as well as stimulating the activity of the liver so as to create a more equal balance in the lacteals, or the chyle that forms in the system between the salivary gland activity - or mucous - and the acid in the lower portion of the stomach; and produce better conditions through the body.
16. Do these.
17. Ready for questions.
18. Following these, and not being overactive, we may bring better conditions for this body.
19. We are through for the present.
