1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2685]; this we have had before.

3. As we find, conditions indicate there has been a great improvement; yet these are the periods when there is the necessity for the care. This must be maintained, else there may become the clogging of some portion of the system - or such inflammation may set up as to cause infection from the attempts of the system to eradicate poisons and accumulations that have existed in the system through the tumorous forces existent.

4. Keep these for the better conditions of the body:

5. Do keep up those applications indicated over affected areas; maybe not quite so much, but don't leave them off too long at a time.

6. And do keep quite often, in ALL the water save when there is the meal being taken, the Glyco-Thymoline.

7. Do have at least every other day an enema or a colonic, to prevent the bowel becoming affected and thus destroying the circulation of the lymph through same - or to prevent this becoming affected and producing a sluffing off of the walls themselves.

8. Thus the necessity of keeping an antiseptic through the system at all times.

9. When there are the coughing spells, or the weakness or choking, have the fumes inhaled by the body from a combination of ingredients being boiled in the open room or, preferably in a croup cup:

10. Put a teaspoonful of Oil of Eucalyptus and a teaspoonful of Compound Tincture of Benzoin in the water as might be boiled in a four to six ounce croup cup - or a kettle; using these proportions to four to six ounces of water, see? Boil this so that the body may inhale the fumes from same.

11. Keep up the rest as we have indicated - as to the diet, as to the electrical forces.

12. Do that.

13. The effectiveness of these applications, as we find, will depend upon how consistently these directions are followed, and upon how much care is taken to prevent there becoming infection through the organs, or in the lungs, or in any portions of the body.

14. Keep up massages occasionally between the shoulders especially, and all the way along the spine, with the Peanut Oil especially. Not so rough as to cause irritation. If there is the tendency to produce too great an irritation, due to the poisons from skin, mix with the Peanut Oil an equal amount of Witchhazel and shake together thoroughly and massage - in the spine especially. This massaged gently over the abdomen also at times will be relieving to the body.

15. Ready for questions.

16. (Q) What causes the lump in right side and how can it be removed? (A) This is a portion of all those conditions where accumulations have been existent. Do these things as we have indicated, for prospects of better conditions for the body. The body is not out of the woods; rather at the critical period, where greater precautions are to be taken. But follow these suggestions - we should find improvements.

17. We are through for the present. Copy to Wife - through [2650] " " Ass'n file e
