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 of this body; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find with this body, [1778] it is rather in that position or condition where most any destructive force might take hold upon the body-physical and become an active force or principle through the system, either as a functional or organic disturbance.
4. Then the conditions, as we find, are of an overstrained nerve AND the overstraining of the whole of the system with the vitality very low, and ofttimes with the great or rather serious indiscretions which have so weakened and do so weaken the organs (that is, the lungs, the throat, the blood supply and the organs of assimilation and elimination) that these all - or any one - might become the source of the greater disturbance.
5. In the present it is a deionizing of the system, with the resistance all broken up as it were, and only spasmodically is there sufficient of that assimilated, practically, to carry on.
6. Thus we have not only the strains in the throat (which is the part of the activity of the bodily forces for the use of same - that is, a center) but the lungs themselves at times become involved; the nasal passages and the antrums also at times. These are climatic conditions, but owing to the weakened conditions become involved.
7. The swelling at times of the area in the lower end of the pylorus or duodenum causes the disturbance of the burning and the heaviness through the stomach - lack of assimilation.
8. All of these are the using up of energies and the weakened conditions in the general system, preventing the proper balance.

9. Hence the body more easily becomes acidized by the very refuse or the lack of proper eliminations from the system.
10. As we find, then:
11. First, we would have at least two or three high colonic irrigations within two weeks, to purify first the alimentary canal.
12. Leave off all of intoxicating drinks or the carbonated waters of any nature.
13. More of milk and milk products should be the diet.
14. A stimulation to the vital forces of the body, as may be had in Codiron as a tonic and a stimulant, would make for the better assimilations. Two tablets twice each day at the meal time; lunch and evening meals preferably.
15. Have a general stimulation to the cerebrospinal system to cause better coordination between the superficial and the deeper circulation. Hence those centers, the coccyx, the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal and from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the 1st cervical - these areas would be GENTLY stimulated.
16. In the matter of the diet, as indicated, keep away from those things outlined. Cereal - preferably the whole wheat, OR citrus fruit juices - these at the morning meal, though never citrus fruits AND cereals at the SAME meal; alternate these.
17. At the noon meals have rather soups or vegetable combinations, as vegetable soups and the juices of same.
18. No fried foods at any time, ever.
19. Vegetables, as well as the general combinations, of evenings.
20. Do these, and take those precautions indicated.
21. As for the throat, use a spray the almost full-strength Glyco-Thymoline, as well as for the nasal passages.
22. The Glyco-Thymoline is also well to be used in the last waters when the colonics are given, to purify the system; in the proportions of about a tablespoonful to the quart of water used.
23. Even a few drops of the Glyco-Thymoline taken internally each day, in water, will tend to purify the alimentary canal.
24. Do these, if we would bring the better conditions for this body, [1778].
