Time of Reading 10:30 to 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia.
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1850]; this we have had before.
3. Now as we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had it here. Some have been for corrections - others as we find are continuing to be a source of disturbance - as combined with rather an acute condition of an infectious nature as related to the circulatory system, arising from poisons IN the body, as well as the effects produced upon the activity of some of those portions. For the kidneys, the bladder and the organs of the pelvis all make for great irritation at this time with the system.
4. These as we find need corrections in such a way that we may not only allay the reactions produced by the blood disturbance AND the infectious forces, but eliminate them entirely from the system.
5. For the condition indicated in the upper portion of the body, or about the breast, we would use the ointment D.D.D. (the cream, rather than the liquid, you see). This as we find will not only allay the irritations but tend to make for the eliminating of same from the superficial circulation.
6. Then for the disturbance in the blood supply which is innate, we will need to take Atomidine internally as well as use it externally.
7. Begin with taking one minim (drop) of Atomidine each morning before any meal is taken, in half a glass of water. Every other morning increase the dose one drop until eventually five drops would be the dose, you see. Then leave off for five days, and then begin again with the one drop and every other day increase the dose one drop until

the five drops, you see - and so on.
8. Each evening before retiring, also use the Atomidine douches, for at least two weeks; that we may cleanse the activities or tendencies for the organs of the pelvis to eliminate the conditions thrown off by the general activity of those properties which will be taken internally. Use in the proportion of a teaspoonful to the quart of water, body-temperature; never below body-temperature, you see.
9. Also use a Mullein Stupe or Poultice across the lower portion of the kidney area; not the upper portion but in the lower portion of the kidney area, you see. This would be applied as warm or as hot as the body can well stand, when the body rests of evening. This should be repeated every other day until there is a change in the eliminations - as will be indicated through the activity of the kidneys as well as a reduction of those tendencies for the dropsical reaction in the lower limbs, the ankles, the knees, the feet.
10. During these whole periods, beware of a great deal of fat of any nature. Eliminate butter and fats from the diet.
11. Of course, have some meats - as fish, fowl or lamb may be taken occasionally; but even the fats of such as the fowl or lamb or the like should be eliminated.
12. Have more of the vegetables, and include the Jerusalem artichoke at least three times each week; this taken either raw or cooked, preferably one time cooked, one time raw. When cooked, let it not be TOO done nor yet too raw, but so that it may be easily pierced with a fork when it is thus ready for eating - and this may be eaten as would be a mashed potato, with a little salt and pepper IF desired, but NOT butter on same!
13. Do these and, as we find, we will bring the better forces and influences for this body.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What causes aching all over - jaw hurting? (A) The poisons. Hence the eliminating of same through stirring the system for better eliminations, by the manner of the diet as well as the Atomidine internally and as a douche.
16. (Q) What should be done for constipation? (A) Use vegetables more, and the fruit juices, and raw vegetable juices more - and these will tend to make for better eliminations. Have at least one meal each day consist mostly of the raw fresh vegetables.

Make for the better alkalizing of the system in the present by the use of the Alka-Seltzer. Take two tablets, dissolved in a glass of water, every two hours until there are better eliminations and the lack of the acid reaction. Take Castoria with same, for the starting of the eliminations; half a teaspoonful every thirty minutes until full eliminations are started.
17. (Q) Why am I so hungry all the time? (A) The reactions from the system attempting to use more the assimilated forces for combating the poisons in the system.
18. (Q) What causes headache of morning? (A) The lack of the proper digestive forces and the lack of eliminations, causing toxic forces as well as infectious forces in the blood stream and the activities through the pelvic system. Do these things as we have indicated, and if the body will be consistent with these, we will find in two to three weeks it should be near back to normal conditions.
19. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file n file
