Time of Reading 3:30 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief for this body. You will answer the questions that may be asked.
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, with this body, there are rather the complications.
4. And unless there is the allaying of the temperature, with the abilities of the system to again assimilate nominally, we may - through the infectious forces - bring some permanent disabilities; not only to the functioning of the system but to the better activities of the physical body.
5. These then are conditions as we find with this body, [1677].
6. First, there are the after effects of a condition that may have been called intestinal flu.
7. And then there arose - and are the effects in the system of - the infectious forces of a malarial disturbance, by the very nature of the condition as seen existing in the blood supply.
8. Hence the upsetting of the balance of the acidity and alkalinity, as well as the ability for activities through the alimentary canal; periods of regurgitation and vomiting, and the inability of obtaining conditions wherein the flow of the lower portions of the stomach did not counterbalance the activities through the alkalized force - or the lacteals.
9. Hence the inflammation has greater effect upon the body, and reduces the vitality, and raises more temperature than ordinary.
10. AS WE FIND, THEN:
11. We would, as soon as practical, apply quite heavy poultices (about an inch thick) of crushed grapes; preferably the Concord or purple grapes. Change these as fast as they are heated by the body; putting them, of

course, over the abdomen and over the stomach itself. As fast as they become warm, change. They should not be required more than half a day or three-quarters of a day.
12. And as soon as the body is settled, and has been relieved, give a little of this as a mixture: Lime Water.................................1 ounce, Cinnamon...................................1 ounce, 10% solution Iodide of Potassium..........30 minims, 10% solution Bromide of Potassium.........60 minims. Shake the solution before the dosage is taken, which would be about a teaspoonful in about a quarter of a glass or a tablespoonful of water. Let it be sipped rather than gulped - every two or three hours, or as necessary for settling the stomach.
13. Then we would CLEANSE the colon with enemas, that will aid in removing the poisons as would be inclined to be left by the application and activity and reaction from the poultice.
14. These as we find would relieve the tensions in the body.
15. Then, preferably under the direction of a physician, we would give Bromo-Quinine - or Bromide of Soda and Quinine. Not too large doses, but sufficient for the changing of the activity of the liver and its relationship to the spleen and the whole of the circulation. This may only be required for a few days, or possibly three to five doses.
16. We would begin then with Beef Juice as the principal diet. Not broth but the JUICE - beef juice. This also would be sipped. Of course, this may be taken with gruel or predigested or only semi-liquid foods; but this should form the base of the foods.
17. Fresh grape juice would be well, but the juice squeezed from the fresh grapes is better than the bottled grape juice.
18. Orange juice and all of the citrus fruit juices would be well; or any or all of these combined - that is, at various times, not at once; but not large quantities, else we may set up irritation and inflammation again.
19. Do these, and then - a little later have a gentle massage, osteopathically administered, for the coordination of all the centers from which impulses arise for activity of the organs of the liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys.
20. All of these would be the helpful and the beneficial measures for this body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. We are through for the present.
