At home, approx. Time of Reading 4 mi. So. of ..., 10:55 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. North Carolina. (Rte. 1, Box 24)
1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, [1852].
3. As we find, conditions are not so well. There is more inflammation through the intestinal system, as well as the involvement of the functioning of the liver and the kidneys in same, in the present.
4. Unless there is the reduction of the disturbance, we find that these may prove to be rather serious for the physical reactions.
5. Then, as we find:
6. We would use the warm saline enemas, followed with the solution to purify the intestinal system; such as, now, the Alkaline Petrolagar - which would be better for the immediate. Use about a level teaspoonful of salt in the first quart of water, body-temperature, you see; and at least a tablespoonful of the Petrolagar in a quart of water for the rinsing. This (the Petrolagar) should necessarily be kept stirred in the container while it is being used, else it would become so adhering as to not be effective. Use these. of course, in a Fountain Syringe. If necessary, use two quarts of the saline (salt) solution, before using the Petrolagar; rinsing the Syringe, of course, before using the last solution.
7. Also, after the body is thoroughly cleansed, we would use the hot Castor Oil Packs over the area of the colon (side) that is affected. And, following same (after the area has been cleansed with a warm soda water), apply a flannel

spread with an equal combination of Mutton tallow (melted), Turpentine and Camphor.
8. These would be the better application.
9. The electrically driven vibrator would be the more helpful, if applied over the area GENTLY, especially in the 9th dorsal to the back of the neck; from the middle of the spine to the neck, see?
10. Such vibratory treatments in the present would be just as helpful as the osteopathic, and there would NOT be such a tiring of the body following same.
11. When these are given, there should be used the hard or ball applicator, as well as the suction (cup); and the application should be directly to the body - or skin.
12. Keep a liquid and semi-liquid diet at least until conditions show a great deal of improvement.
13. Beef juices and vegetable juices are the better; the juices of the raw as well as cooked vegetables, but taken in very small quantities at the time.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What causes stomach to be tender, and how can food souring be prevented? (A) First there will be necessitated the removal of the poisons, and then the adherence to the suggestions indicated as to the character of diet until the condition has adjusted itself. And then when there IS the better inclination, then there may gradually be added the heavier foods or the more combinations for the body; but the semi-liquids would be first. When there IS the inclination for souring, use a digestant, - in the form of the powders or ALCAROID or the like, - these will be helpful. Those that carry more of the pepsin will be the better.
16. (Q) Why does fruit or any sweets cause breaking out? (A) The lack of the proper eliminations, and the conditions as we have indicated.
17. (Q) What caused severe pain in left shoulder and arm last Sun. morning? (A) The poisons, in the form of a neuritis.
18. (Q) What causes pain in left side near hip? (A) The expanding or ballooning of the colon in the area, and the effects of poisons and gas. Hence the needs for the eliminations in the manners indicated.
19. (Q) What causes black spots before eyes (right eye worse), and what can be done to correct eyes? (A) The effect upon the nervous system, especially of the kidneys - as indicated - that have become a part of the disturbance in the present reactions.

The removing of the poisons from the system, and the vibratory forces as indicated over the areas from the 9th dorsal to the back of the head, will aid in correcting the condition.
20. (Q) What causes irregular heart beat? (A) The effect of those conditions as indicated - the disturbed flow of the circulatory forces through liver and kidneys. Do as has been indicated, if we would bring the better forces for this body.
21. (Q) What causes extreme weakness? (A) Poisons in the system.
22. (Q) Why did I not get stronger after last course of Zilatone? (A) The too soon eating of those foods that did not digest properly.
23. (Q) Any other suggestions for this body? (A) Do these things as indicated, and when the improvements begin, do not commence too soon with foods that are hard of digestion.
