1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2101].
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What is the trouble with [2101] and what has caused it? (A) As we find, there has been a bruise or an injury externally that has affected the body; this the greater disorder. Would there be applied, as we find, those properties of stoops [stupes] of hot mullein in a regular routine for two to three days, we may centralize or localize conditions in such a manner that the eliminations through drainages may be set up to prevent even incisions or operative forces; yet these may be necessary unless there is the proper separation, so that there may be the distribution through the system - see?
4. (Q) Just how is this stoop [stupe] to be applied, and where? (A) Over those portions of body where there has been, or is, that failing in the response to those manipulations, or those portions of the active organs that form the troublesome conditions see? The applications would be PREFERABLY green mullein leaves, bruised, and in as hot water as may be applied, directly to body. Apply two to three thicknesses of such bruised and heated leaves, bandaged, for at least thirty to forty minutes. Apply these twice in succession, see? Then wait for a day, then apply again. Three or four applications of same should alter, and make an activity through the kidneys, through the eliminations, in such a manner that we will find changes in the body.
5. (Q) Where does the pus come from? (A) From the bruised area, see - so the applications of the mullein will relieve these areas in such a manner as to make eliminations so they will be drainages from system, and healing with same. We would keep the manipulations in the same way as has been given.
6. (Q) Any change in diet necessary?
2101-1 Page 2
(A) We would not have any meats of ANY character for the body during those periods when these applications are being made; that is, for at least three to four weeks - see? We would have rather those that are of easy assimilation; principally: Mornings - citrous fruit diet. Noon - green vegetables with dressings, and some of the meat JUICES - or soups, see? No meats. Evenings - rather those of a whole vegetable diet, well cooked vegetables - see?
7. (Q) Is he getting enough rest? (A) Well, this will make him want to rest more, if these applications of heat are strong enough - see?
8. (Q) Is there any urgent need for operative measures? (A) If ye will apply these, we will find they may be ENTIRELY eliminated - or they will so LESSEN the effect of same, if not able to be entirely eliminated, as to make it very easy for body - see?
9. (Q) Can fresh mullein leaves be obtained anywhere this time of year? (A) Fresh mullein - this is the right time - they are young - they are tender - they are well in line now.
10. (Q) Did the eyes and tonsils have anything to do with this condition? (A) The injury, you see, was from without. The strain on the system had an effect upon the tonsil and eye, and the eye and tonsil naturally in turn AIDED in the condition for the general system breaking down, as it were, or giving way to the condition. Do as we have outlined, and we will find these will be aids to the body.
