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, [1520]; this we have had before.
3. Many changes are indicated in this body since last we had same here.
4. With care, with precautions, conditions may be bettered.
5. With more cold, or the inability of assimilation, these will soon make for greater disturbances.
6. But - over the whole of the abdominal area, the stomach and extending down to the pubic center - we would apply a cloth, flannel or flannelette, saturated with an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Add these in the order named. Keep this constantly applied over the area. Change it daily. When taken off, sponge off the abdomen with tepid or warm water. Then saturate the cloth again in the compound and apply.
7. Give the body beef juice as medicine. Make this fresh each day. Do not take more than two-thirds of a teaspoonful at a time, and at least an hour and a half to two hours between these doses. Do not swallow the whole dose at once, but let it be sipped slowly so as to be assimilated in the gastric flow of the mouth, and gradually swallowed.
8. Give strained oatmeal, well cooked, with milk; preferably NOT too much cream on same.
9. These given regularly should give strength.
10. Any liquids may be taken that the body may assimilate. Oyster soup, any shell fish soup is good; also fowl - that is, chicken. Gradually eggs may be taken. DO NOT give solid foods.
11. If there are not eliminations, DO give enemas - using a teaspoonful of soda (level) and a heaping teaspoonful of
1520-2 Page 2
salt to each quart of water injected - and this should be body-temperature. Do have the eliminations each day, even if it is necessary to give the enema daily.
12. Massage the whole of the spine, daily, with the Mutton Tallow, Turpentine and Camphor compound.
13. Rest until there is more strength.
14. Keep the feet warm. Bathe them often - twice a day, even - in warm water, very warm water. This is to keep the circulation to the extremities, so as to give better strength.
15. Doing these, as we find, offers the better help in the present.
16. The results will depend upon the spiritual attitude for helpfulness, and the trust in the healing forces of the Divine for PURPOSEFUL living.
17. Ready for questions.
18. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (2/23/42 GD's note: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Beef Juice.) uice.)
