Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. 11:15 to 11:25 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Miss.

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. As we find, there has arisen rather an acute condition in the general physical forces. While not so acute as to cause gallstone colic as yet, there are the disturbances in the gall bladder area and the liver. These have hindered the coordinations between the eliminating systems. Thus there has been a great deal of poison thrown into the system. This is experienced in the more definite manner as to the infection and irritation in the lids and from the lachrymal ducts. These are causing a great deal of pain to eyes, eyelids, as well in the extremities; the forearm, the elbow and shoulder, the hip, the knee and the feet. All of these at times have shown indications of the sources of disturbance, but these in the face have become rather acute.

3. First we would begin applying hot Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area, at least three thicknesses of flannel, (old flannel preferably) saturated with the Castor Oil. Apply over the liver, the gall duct, and extend to the caecum area on the right side. Cover with cloths to prevent soiling linens and then apply an electric pad. Do this for one hour each day for five days in succession.

4. Then take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil.

5. Follow this the next day with a high enema, or more preferably a colonic irrigation.

6. For the face condition begin at once to apply a scraped Irish potato poultice directly over the lids of the eyes, with gauze over same. After this has been on for thirty minutes, take off and cleanse the area with a purifying

solution such as Glyco-Thymoline or the like. Use about three teaspoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline and one teaspoonful of water as the solution for such an eyewash.

7. After three to four hours, apply again, to draw the inflammation from these areas - through the five days that the Castor Oil Packs are used. Use the potato poultice about every four hours during this period, though, of course, not at night.

8. After the series of Oil Packs, do have at least six to eight good osteopathic treatments to set up better eliminations.

9. Do these and we will make for better conditions and rid these disturbances from the body.

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) Is the taking of one grain thyroid tablets each day necessary and should it be continued? (A) We would leave these off through these periods. When there have been the better corrections we find that the addition of KalDak taken in periods would be helpful; that is, about four times each week, at regular periods, taking a heaping teaspoonful of KalDak dissolved first in a little water and then the glass filled with orange juice. This is the preferable manner of taking same for this body, but do not begin this until after the other treatments have been followed.

12. (Q) Do any of my teeth need extraction, indicate which ones? (A) As we find there are those needing local attention; not necessarily extraction if there is the use of the orange juice, provided these are kept very clean. Use an equal combination of baking soda and table salt as a gum massage, as well as any good dentifrice. Ipana is good.
