1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1010].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions that are acute in the present. These arise somewhat from the lack of the proper eliminations of accumulations from the old disturbance in the gall duct and liver area; producing a greater stress upon the eliminating forces in the kidney area, causing pressures upon the locomotaries in the lumbar and sacral area - thus producing contraction of the muscular forces along the sciatic nerves, drawing toes backward under the feet as it were.
4. This as we find has caused or does cause a great deal of excruciating pain when attempting to move.
5. Apply first over the lumbar and sacral area a mixture of three parts of laudanum and one part Aconite. Then apply over same the heavy salt, preferably in bag, but the salt HEAT. Heat the salt, you see - heavy, coarse salt, and put in bag. Change about every thirty minutes, or every twenty minutes, until there is the relaxing of the muscular forces along the sciatic nerves.
6. As these applications begin to relax the body, then combine with same a massage along the sciatic nerve to the bottom of the feet and plumb to the center of the lumbar area - using a compound for such massaging, prepared in this manner:
7. To 1 quart of Straight Gasoline (not colored), add - IN THE ORDER NAMED: Gum Camphor...................1 dram, O'Ceder, or Cedar Wood Oil....1 ounce, Oil of Sassafras............1/2 ounce. Shake these ingredients together. Massage - not rub hard,

but pat and rub - over the areas indicated, see?
8. Prepare Watermelon Seed Tea. The proportions would be a tablespoonful of crushed seed in a pint of boiling water. Steep as tea. Drink this, strained off, during a whole day.
9. After the application of the heat AND the properties indicated (Laudanum-Aconite; then the salt heat), have a correction osteopathically or neuropathically along the whole of the cerebrospinal system.
10. Stimulate the eliminations with the combination of Syrup of Figs and Fletcher's Castoria. Take them opposite; a teaspoonful of one every hour; first one, then the other; until there are thorough eliminations.
11. Do these and we will bring the better forces, and remove these disturbances from the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. We are through for the present.
