1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before, you see.
3. Now, we find there has been considerable change in the physical forces of this body since last we had same here. Some have been to the improvement of the body. Others have been to detriment of the body. While the physical forces showed great improvement until there arose those conditions wherein that bacilli was produced that caused again a form of streptococci in body - hence the source of the temperature that arises off and on in the physical forces of body - until then we find the physical conditions much improved.
4. Now we find only the necessity - while these are in abeyance - these germatic conditions that produce these forces in the body - that we only need to build that resistance in the system as would be necessary to overcome these conditions.
5. Then, the diet and the eliminations are to be looked after the closer, and followed in rather the strict nature - as HAS been done for greater part of time for the body, see?
6. The manipulations are well, and these should be continued to be given, especially so manipulate those ganglions that govern the activity of liver and of kidneys, that the stimulation from diet - or from activities of that produced in the blood supply - will not overtax either of these poles in the system, see? for we find there is the inclination for these to show the response to the system in its attempting to adjust itself.
7. For the cough and irritation as is produced through the bronchials, lungs, throat and nasal cavities, we would take occasionally - once, twice, three times each week, if necessary - two to five (2 to 5) drops of coal oil on sugar, using as an inhalant - to overcome the conditions in the

mucus coating of bronchials, nasal cavity and lungs, these properties:
8. To four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol......................20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp............3 minims, Balsam of Fir....................5 minims, Creosote,Rectified...............3 minims, Tincture of Tolu, in solution...30 minims.
9. Keep this in a glass container at least three times the size of the quantity, or in a ten to twelve ounce bottle with glass stopper, see?
10. Shake solution before this is inhaled through nostrils and through the mouth. INHALE this whenever there is the coughing - from those conditions as have been produced - so that this will act as the CLEANSER, or the sterilizer of the system where inflammation may be produced by irritation in the mucus lining of the respiratory system, see?
11. For diet: Follow very much that as has been given for the body. The beef juice may be given, so long as it will be assimilated by the system. Very few apples of any save that of the character as has been given, unless same are cooked. No bananas. Oranges and grapefruit - citrous fruit - may be given in season in small quantities. The buttermilk, or that of the character as has been used may be given, as has been OUTLINED for same. Cream and BEET sugar - not cane sugar - may be given on cereal. Any cereal good. We would prefer - for THIS body - that as is found in grapenuts, for this will produce the better action from the saliva glands, which is necessary for digestion - especially with this body. Any of the vegetables that grow ABOVE the ground may be prepared in small quantities for the body. The bread should never be of the white bread, but any of the brown breads, or any of the Graham breads. Little sugar - LITTLE sugar - other than BEET sugar may be given this body. Not too much of the action of meats, though broths of birds or while [wild?]game may be given the body, and THESE will be effective.
12. Keep those conditions in the system wherein ELIMINATIONS are properly taken care of. The system is overcoming, by the creation of those properties necessary to overcome the germ as produces irritation to all MUCUS producing portions of throat and bronchials. The clarification through the inhalant will prove effective. In the nature of eliminants, use that of Fletcher's Castoria, and enemas may be used when the system is showing temperature - enemas of tepid or cool water.

13. Do that.
14. We are through for the present.
