1. EC: Yes. The conditions are as we find as has been indicated.
2. There is the necessity, to be sure, of the body taking when under great pain the easing ingredients or drug; for this would become so overburdening as to destroy any effect of those properties as has been indicated.
3. But when these are followed, as we find the better conditions SHOULD result.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Is the Anacin alright to take, or what other sedatives would be better to relieve pain? (A) Anacin is alright, or even stronger, or Luminal - any of these. But it is necessary, as indicated, for this to be taken to ease the pain at times.
6. (Q) Would it be best to discontinue the use of laxatives? (A) Eliminate laxatives as much as possible. Better if the proper manner of colonic irrigations are used. And that is to have the water the temperature of the body, and to use a soda-saline solution. And as we find the more preferable is the elevator - Tyrrell's elevator. Or the tube with the Fountain Syringe is good, but the elevator is preferable if possible. The proper proportions would be, to each gallon of water add a heaping teaspoonful of soda and a level teaspoonful of salt.
7. (Q) The body feels too weak to stand enemas. (A) Enemas are not straining if taken properly. They are preferable, much preferable, much more easy upon the body than so much laxatives that only take from the system the vitality that should be strengthening in lymph circulation. For an eliminant, ANY eliminant, is an exciting of the mucous membranes to activity.
8. (Q) Where and in what form can salsify be procured at this season of the year?

(A) Very soon it may be procured regularly. Or it may be procured through the Libby - McNeil [?] & Libby, as preserved or canned.
9. (Q) What time of day would be best to use the battery appliance? (A) Just before the body is ready to rest of evening.
10. (Q) Please give at this time detailed diet schedule for this body. (A) This has been outlined oft for the body. The body has had experience in the variations, and those things that - as indicated - make for the building of certain influences, let these be a portion of the diet each day. Those that are body-building but that keep close to an alkalin condition are preferable.
