1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: As we find, the body is developing very good. While there are upsets and crosses, most of this comes from inconsistency in the diet - as in the present we have a great deal of acidity, which naturally tends to cause the constant contracting of cold. That makes crosses, and that which of course submerges the activities or the coordinating between the circulations through the liver, the kidneys and lungs. These naturally cause a rash, or sores in portions of the body.
3. For this particular body in the present, DO KEEP AWAY FROM the body those of sweets, or foods requiring great quantities of sugar put in same.
4. Do keep the doses of Milk of Magnesia, until there are good eliminations.
5. THEN massage the body good with Cocoa Butter along the spine.
6. And after resting a day, give broken doses of Castoria to purify the system.
7. Then keep the regular activities, and we will find much bettered conditions for the body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is his eternal restlessness a nervous condition or is it due to him having to stay in the house so much? (A) It is partially so, but as indicated much of this is a sympathetic pathological rather than psychological condition. When it is practical, of course, keep the body in the open.
10. (Q) Does he have symptoms of colitis; if so, how can it be cured? (A) Wherever there is the poor circulation, the poor eliminations, of course symptoms of colitis are present. Here, as we find, these are more in the upper part of the

alimentary canal. Hence that as indicated, almost in opposition to that ordinarily given - flush with the mineral basis, see? then the vegetable, at least a day or so apart. And then this should purify the system much better. Give small doses - a few drops of Glyco-Thymoline, in almost all the water taken. This as an intestinal antiseptic will keep down inflammation in colon.
11. (Q) What foods should he eat and what should he avoid? (A) Fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereals.
12. (Q) How can he be cured from the habit of sucking his thumb? (A) This can be done by suggestion, if they will take the time to do so. As he goes to sleep, even though the thumb is in the mouth, take the time - take it from the mouth and suggest that the mind - suggest to the mind that he will not do same. Don't abuse him - don't discourage him save by the positive suggestion when he is going to sleep.
13. (Q) Any advice for those now rearing him will be appreciated. (A) Positive, loving counsel is worth more - much more than the rod for this child; that he is to be not merely good but good for something. Show appreciations for that which is of a constructive nature, and he will desire more to do such.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [326] " " Ass'n file le
