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: Yes, we have the body here.

3. As we find, much improvement is indicated.

4. While there must be precautions taken, we find that these conditions need not now interfere again - when they are cleared - and need not be the contributing cause even to any disturbing force in the life span at this time.

5. Now - once or twice a day - to purify or clarify conditions, to relieve gas and to aid in better assimilation (which is partially the cause of the gas - and thus some inflammation in the lower portion of duodenum) - we would take internally a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth and six drops of Elixir or Lactated Pepsin stirred together in a glass of water.

6. If there are not the proper eliminations - because of the absorption of inflammation by the taking of these properties - it would be well to use a colonic irrigation.

7. But do keep up the periods, or periodically, of the stimulation of those areas that relax this portion of the digestive system.

8. And occasionally, if any pain in the area, do apply for two to three days, an hour each day, the Castor Oil Packs over the area.

9. DO use those foods that are stimulating as to resistance; as plenty of the whole grain cereals - wheat, barley and oats; not necessarily all at once, but distribute them through the weekly diet. Each of these contains those factors that add the elements for blood and resistance building, also the chemicals - as in phosphorous, silicon and iron - in those proportions and manners in which they are properly assimilated by the body. Best that these be cooked thoroughly, but always in a covered container - and never in aluminum ware.

10. Do not use citrus fruits at the same meal with the

cereals - rather alternate these - changing from day to day, from one to the other.

11. Use plenty of broiled liver also, and fowl and fish. These may be portions of the diet; never fried, but cooked with their own juices.

12. Raw vegetables may be taken occasionally, but not too much - until the gas has been allayed.

13. Do these and we should keep in that way of improvements.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) Would it be advisable for him to go to his daughter's office in ... for treatment, as his nearest osteopath is 30 miles away? (A) It would be much more advisable to be where it is more convenient, and where all applications might be made without tiring the body - until conditions are entirely allayed.

16. (Q) Is a surgical operation indicated at a future date? (A) Read what has been indicated. It should not be necessary if the precautions are taken incident to not only allaying but to so changing the activities of the system as to clear conditions. Do as has been outlined, for better conditions for this body.

17. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Daughter - Air Mail, Special " " Ass'n file ile
