1. EC: Yes.
2. Now as we find, in some specific instances or respects conditions show improvement; in others there are apparently, or outwardly, greater distresses.
3. These conditions exist, as we find, in the present:
4. The adhesions show some improvements, in those areas that have been indicated - in the lacteal duct and caecum, and through the right portion of the body.
5. But the activities of same - that is, the drosses or the refuse forces that are accumulations in system - cause greater anxiety to the body at times; and apparently, while not so severe in their nature, are more aggravating and disturbing to the body - in the incoordination, and spasmodic reactions.
6. These as we find arise mostly from the conditions produced through the alimentary canal or lower portion of same, through the colon area.
7. Then, in the present:
8. We would keep the Packs in periods of an hour to two hours at a time, as have been indicated; just as warm as the body can stand same during the periods of application.
9. The adjustments have been very well. Make more of these in the lumbar axis and through the sacral, as well as coordinating them through the rest of the areas from which impulses are received from the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system.
10. And at least every other week, or oftener, have the cleansing of the colon with high enemas.
11. If the conditions that produce the spasmodic reactions still persist after the next three weeks, then we would use the compound from the Passion Flower - prepared in this manner:
12. To a gallon and a half of water add 6 ounces of the Passion Flower (Passiflora). Reduce by slow boiling to a pint, when strained. Use rather an enamel container than

metal or aluminumware for such reduction. Then add (to the pint) an ounce and a half of Pure Grain Alcohol.
13. The dose of this would be a teaspoonful four times each day; after the meals and before retiring.
14. Be mindful of the diet that it is kept more alkaline than acid.
15. And if there are the activities in the open as much as possible, as weather permits, it will be much better.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Have the Oil Packs been used correctly? (A) These are very good, but as indicated have them for periods of two hours when they are given; changing them at least twice during the two hour periods, see?
18. (Q) To what extent can and should he attempt exercise? (A) Exercise in the open, as it is possible, is very well.
19. (Q) Does it seem that the recommended treatments have been followed as outlined in the previous Reading? (A) In the general manner, yes. It is indicated that more specific adjustments are needed in the lumbar and sacral.
20. (Q) Is there any material change, either for better or worse? (A) As indicated, there is a better condition through the causes; though the eliminations of those portions broken up cause, as it were, greater weakness and greater exhaustion at times. Hence the necessity of assisting in eliminating from the colon. Do these as we find; we will bring the better conditions for this body.
