1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same, and you will answer any questions I may ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body. We have had this before.
3. Now, there are many changes as we find in the physical forces of the body at present from that as we have had here before. While some of the weaknesses as have been given, especially as regarding diet and the eliminations, are involved in the condition, yet that as is produced at the present time is an accentuation of those conditions or weaknesses with the other poisons as are not eliminated from the system. Hence, as is seen, the temperature, and the inclination for the slowing up of the capillary circulation to the portions of body, especially in upper trunk portion. Hence the variation in heart's action and the condition in lower portion of body.
4. To meet the needs of the conditions at the present time, the body should be kept entirely quiet, see?
5. The body should receive sufficient of heat by vapor, or by wet sheets or blankets wrapped about same, to set up an increased capillary circulation, see?
6. Taking inside of same at the time, see, hot camomile tea - hot as the body can drink it, see? followed with cool drafts of Yellow Saffron Tea, see? but after each bath (as this) the body should be massaged thoroughly all over, osteopathically, and then have (after the massage) cocoa butter massaged into the spine, across the abdomen, into all of the lymphatic circulation, about the throat and neck, and, as is seen, while this will weaken the body, it will NOT interfere with heart's action, properly done, unless the body allowed to chill, or excess action - physical exertion - following same, but the capillary circulation must be restored to the equilibrium of the body, so that eliminations are set up properly between the external and internal circulation, see? [1352] we are speaking of.
7. With these variations, be careful of lungs, using the
1352-3 Page 2
inhalant as has been given, which will be found in these properties:
8. To six (6) ounces of pure grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol......................24 minims, Rectified Creosote...............5 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp...........10 minims, Benzoin.........................10 minims, Tincture of Tolu in solution...1/2 ounce.
9. Put contents in twelve (12) ounce bottle, glass corked. Shake solution well. Then inhale both through nostrils and into the lungs, that there may be a clarification of the blood through this inhalant acting as an antiseptic and clarifying the lungs, preventing any occurrence of pulmonary disorders by the changing in circulation and the reduction in elimination through other channels.
10. Let the diet be principally those of the vitamin nature, such as weak broths of any nature that agree with the body, especially tomato or okra juices, see? Small amount of beef juice may be given, but very small.
11. And see that the bowels act regularly.
12. When this strain is taken off of the body, and the circulation, the strain will be removed from kidneys, and these will act, for the suppression and excess as is seen is produced by the unequalized circulation. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What is the condition of the blood? (A) Carrying those poisons as are not eliminated, either through the proper circulation or through the hepatics, for the liver shows congestion, as does the kidneys overtaxed in both suppression and over activity, see? Hence the condition as must be relieved by the hot baths, so that the respiratory system is set up, reducing temperature in this manner, see? and the massage and the cocoa butter is to reduce the temperature, feeding the nerve ends, preventing any of that taxation to the body that recurs from such high temperature and such slow circulation in capillary system. These conditions will be weakening for the time being, and do not keep them up when circulation is established normally - but this will establish same, as given, see?
14. (Q) What is the condition of the heart? (A) That as described, for when the circulation is not equalized, naturally the more taxation to that organ. Not organic conditions - FUNCTIONAL.
15. (Q) Is this condition serious? (A) Serious - for we see how these have been given for the application of these conditions. Send these special at
1352-3 Page 3
once, see?
16. That is all the questions.
17. We are through with this reading.
