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; this we have had before.

3. As we find, there has been begun - in part - those suggestions which have been indicated, that WILL bring about the better conditions for this body, if there is the persistent and consistent use of the same.

4. It is indicated by the conditions which arise that there are those disturbances as we have indicated through the gall duct and gall bladder area, as well as the effect that these spasmodic reactions have upon the conditions through the intestinal tract, especially the colon, and the effect that is produced upon the locomotory system.

5. Then, we would continue systematically with those applications that have been suggested; namely: the Castor Oil Packs - these taken three days in succession for at least an hour each time; followed by the Olive Oil taken internally as indicated.

6. Those injections and the use of the compounds given for the emptying of the gall duct are also helpful. With the combinations, these at times become rather a strenuous activity, and requires that the body rest a great deal during the periods that the Packs are given, of the evenings that these are given.

7. However, if these will be continued, with the leaving off of any sedative as much as possible, they will prove effective.

8. Take plenty of water at all times.

9. We would take the salts on the days when the Castor Oil Packs are NOT taken - and when taking same (after the injections that have been indicated), lie upon the right side with a pillow under the body at the liver and gall duct area.

10. As the system is cleansed of these poisons, it will be found well to have one or two colonic irrigations - once or

twice each month - so long as these treatments are being given; that there may be the poisons eliminated that have accumulated in the alimentary canal, through the activity of these properties on the system, without being reabsorbed in the system by remaining in the intestinal or colon area.

11. Hence we would flush the colon with water, using a little saline (salt) and soda solution in same; this would prove most beneficial, taking away those tendencies for so much weakness and dizziness, and purifying the body better.

12. Be mindful as to the diets - and keep along those lines that have been heretofore indicated for the body.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Should I continue to take the tonic after meals also? (A) This will be very well, IF there is the closer adherence to these applications, in seeing that the salts AND the Packs do not overlap, but come rather consecutively. Do not leave off the Castor Oil Packs!

15. (Q) Is the treatment of Dr. Buresch, German woman doctor, going to cure me? (A) Not of itself - else we would not have given these others!

16. (Q) What part of it is the most important? (A) To keep it up sufficient to drain the gall bladder, and the gall duct, and to keep the poisons so drained out of the system.

17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self - Air Mail " " Ass'n file file
