Time of Reading 4:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Georgia. (Check Physical, special reference to condition of the hands)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - [4280] - this we have had before. Now, we find there are many changes since last we had same, and there has arisen some acute conditions that need especial attention at this time. These have been growing gradually worse since the breaking up of those conditions as were exhibited or seen in the right side. Not being eliminated from the system, they have taken on the form of a humor, or inflammation of the lymph glands in extremities, especially in the hands, and added with this the acute strain produced on the nerve centers through this reaction is painful, as well as being very unapplicable to BETTERMENTS of conditions of the body.
2. To meet the needs of these conditions at the present time, first we would prepare at once those properties of Plantain leaf and seed, in the form of a tea or wash, making as this preparation: To 6 ounces of the green Plantain leaf and seed stems, add 16 ounces of rain or distilled water. Reduce to 1/2 the quantity. Strain, and use as bandage - cold, not hot but cold - dipping cloths in same, binding about those portions of arm and hand that are affected, see? taking internally those properties as will PRODUCE an ELIMINATION quickly, such as may be found in any cathartic, PREFERABLY however, this we would use first - this each dose, taking at least 3 doses, 1 each evening, see? 1 EACH evening - this in 1 dose:
Podophyllum...................1/4 grain, Senna.........................1/2 grain, Cascara Sagrada...............1/2 grain, Leptandrin....................1/4 grain, Licorice Compound.............1/4 grain.
See? This makes a large capsule, but give 1 each evening; FOLLOWING same - that is, after the 3rd dose - with at least
4280-8 Page 2
3 ounces of Pluto water. Then the 2nd day begin with Castoria - Fletcher's preferable - but adding to each teaspoonful of same (and take teaspoonful as a dose every HOUR until there is full reaction from the Castoria, adding to each teaspoonful) 3 drops Oil of MULLEN [Mullein]. Do that. We will find bettered conditions for the body. Well that manipulations be given gently over the system, that the whole poisons may be eliminated and the reaction through the glands and lymphatics, and the whole circulation, may be more and better equalized. Well that a low form of electrical vibration, or electricity, be given the body AFTER the activities of the eliminants given are effective. This may be given in the form of the Violet Ray. Preferably apply this to lymphatic centers, as would be arm pits, elbows, knees, and groins. This will effectually assist in the proper reaction taking place in system. The diet during this time should consist PRINCIPALLY of GRUELS, fruit and nuts. Do that. Ready for questions. Keep up the applications of the Plantain solution until swelling and inflammation is reduced. Do not HEAT it. Put it on cold, see? Do not even apply same while warm from preparing it. Let it be cold before it is applied. We are through with this reading.
