1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3078].
3. In giving that as may be helpful for this body, we find that many things must be taken into consideration.
4. While there is the attempt at times for the entity or body to seek spiritual influences, these - spiritual forces - those tenets and truths - are not merely as laws or cloaks that may be put on and taken off.
5. For, as indicated, there are physical disturbances in the body. To be sure, these may be healed by divine forces. But, as given by Him who is the law, who is the healer of ALL disease, "He that saith he loveth the Lord and hateth his brother is a liar and the truth is not in him."
6. He that loveth not then the ways of the Lord - not merely as applied to self but as self may apply to those the body meets day by day - need not expect the law of grace to be effective in his experience. Ye cannot hate, or doubt, or fear those things about self, or those things that would be used by others, and expect the law of love to be effective in thee. For, the condemnation of self in others falls on self! And, as the entity will and does find, as the psalmist gave, "That which I hated has come upon me."
7. Then there is little need for attempting to heal an ill body unless the mind, the purpose, the ideal of the entity is set in Him who is peace, life, hope and understanding. For He is indeed the way and the truth and the light.
8. If the entity will apply in self that it KNOWS to do - not as something that applies to self alone, but that applies to self in its relationships to others - the results will be apparent. Ye APPLY thy love, if ye would have others love thee! Ye do trust others and ye ARE the trust and the hope, if ye would have hope or expect others to have

hope and trust in thee!
9. For as ye know, as ye interpret in thine own experience, as in the life of Him who - though without fault - was hated of others. "If the world hate me, it does and it will hate thee." But if ye hate the world, if ye dislike those with whom ye are associated, then HIS death, His love, His promise becomes of none effect in thee!
10. For the WORLD hath hated Him without a cause. Ye feel within thyself that ye are distrusted, that ye are hated without a cause. But if ye do the same in return, His promise becomes of none effect in thee - ye are of the world and not of Him.
11. In thy body - ye find body, mind, soul; or the spiritual, mental and material body. The misapplication of truth in thy mind, in not interpreting the spirit in self, may - as in thine own experience - bring the lack of proper elimination of drosses from thy body.
12. It is true that ye may in the spiritual, in the mental, in the material, make applications of that cleansing that may aid the body in eliminating same from the physical, from the mental, from the spiritual. The spirit is ever willing, and it remains the same yesterday, today and forever. For it is the eternal spiritual law.
13. First, then, the mental attitude towards self, towards the world, towards others, must be changed. For, if ye recognize in self the truth, that which is and was manifested in the Christ-Consciousness, ye will change thy mental attitude - towards self, towards others, towards conditions about thee. THEN ye may see change in the physical results or manifestations in self. Then ye, too, as He gave of old, will wash and be clean every whit!
14. For as the tendons, muscles in the extremities have become leadened, as it were, with the effect of drosses in the body - if the mental attitude is changed towards those things that hinder physically - we would then begin with these:
15. Take two drops of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for five days in succession. And on the fifth day take five drops.
16. Then take two drops every other day for five doses. Then on the fifth dose take five drops.
17. Have THEN an Epsom Salts Bath in hot water saturated with Epsom Salts; at least fifteen pounds to fifty gallons of water, this hot. Remain in same for at least twenty minutes, with a cold cloth on top of head - not ice, but a cold cloth dampened with the ordinary temperature of tap water.

18. Following this Epsom Bath have a thorough rubdown with Pine Oil; that there may be healing by the very fact of cleansing the mind and cleansing the body.
19. In the diets, do include daily the raw vegetables. This is nature's way of keeping the body clean.
20. But begin with the self, the mind - and these done, we will bring better influences, better forces about the body.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Should the series of Atomidine and Epsom Baths be repeated? (A) If there is not the entire elimination. Just as breaking self from any other habit - if ye break over, try again! In the try, help will come. In the application there may be established the knowledge of the truth and the way, and help may come physically, mentally, spiritually. For, if ye know the truth - and apply it not, it is sin. And if sin lies at thy door, can ye have peace with self or with others?
23. (Q) What should be done for the inguinal hernia weakness? (A) Keep wearing the truss UNTIL there has been sufficient strength builded in body to control same, mentally and physically.
