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.
3. As we find, there has been a falling away from following the diet so consistently; and with the very periods - the spring - when there is the changing, as it were, in the circulation itself, irritations are again arising in the system.
4. We would use the Mullein Stupes as well as the Mullein Tea; and be closer consistent to the diets indicated. These should remove the disturbances from the system.
5. In a week to ten days after this has been done, and this has begun to heal, if there is still irritation we would take a purifying tonic prepared in this manner; preferably by self. Obtain the crude drugs and put together in this way and manner.
6. To 1/2 gallon of Water, add: Yellow Dock Root......................1 ounce, Burdock Root........................1/2 ounce, Toothache Bark (Prickly Ash Bark)...1/2 ounce, Mandrake Root (Podophyllin).........1/4 grain - not ounce, but GRAIN! Reduce this by slow boiling to half the quantity of water, when strained. Then add to same: Tincture of Valerian................1/2 ounce, Pure Grain Alcohol..................1/2 pint. Shake together when the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful four times each day; before meals and before retiring.
7. This should rid the system of this humor, when it has

been allayed.
8. Keep the eliminations and keep the diets.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) When this rash occurs, how can we determine what to avoid in order to make the correction? (A) We are trying to tell you how to eliminate it from the system and not avoid anything! Will you do this, or do you ask for others?
11. (Q) Comment on the following in the diet and combinations to avoid: Fresh grapes, grape juice, figs. (A) All of these are very good, taken in moderation.
12. (Q) Lemons? (A) Provided taken with orange juice, but not the lemons alone. Oranges and orange juice would be well, with a little lemon squeezed in the orange juice when taken.
13. (Q) Pineapple? (A) Keep it out!
14. (Q) Strawberries? (A) Tabu!
15. (Q) Tomatoes? (A) These if cooked or semi-cooked are very well.
16. (Q) Raisins? (A) Very good.
17. (Q) Sweet potatoes? (A) Depends upon how prepared. Baked, alright. Candied, not so good.
18. (Q) Ice cream? (A) Depends on whose make!
19. (Q) Saccharin? (A) This is very well to use in place of sugar.
20. (Q) Are the eliminations being properly set up? (A) Not altogether. If they had been we wouldn't have insisted that these be improved?
21. (Q) Is it a karmic condition or habit that makes following the strict diet a hardship? (A) Not necessarily. It's a physical condition, and, as has been indicated, physical means will be required to eliminate same from the system.
22. (Q) Any further mental or spiritual advice? (A) Keep to the constructive attitudes, and do not look upon the diets necessary to eliminate the disturbances as hardships - for they become that, of course, you build in the mind.
