1. GC: You will answer questions as I ask them regarding the physical condition of this body.
2. EC: Now, we find the general conditions in the body improving, yet there are many abnormal conditions in this body that need correction, and many of these may be corrected through the proper according to conditions necessary for improvement of same. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What causes this body so much suffering in the left shoulder blade and arm? (A) There are lesions formed in the upper dorsal region, produced by the improper distribution of dross or refuse forces in the body, this causing pressure on the nerve plexuses governing the portion of the body brings the distress. None out of place, save as is produced by lesions. By the removing of these conditions, as we shall see, we would gradually relieve these conditions in body, or when pain is acute this may be applied to the body with beneficial effects to the body:
Take saturated solution of Epsom Salts and put on the body in a thin cloth. Then apply heat as would be found in mixture of corn meal and salt to this portion. This we find will relieve, that is, to the dorsal region, between the shoulders, arm and over portion, upper portion of arm. This is for local treatment when pains are severe.
4. (Q) What causes the hurting near the spine on the left side near the shoulder blade? (A) Lesion, as given.
5. (Q) What can be done to relieve the stiffness in elbows, wrists and knees, also jaws? (A) This, as we see, is the production of conditions as have been described and given in the body. By giving the properties in the system, keeping those, much the general condition as we have given, then applying this:
Give manipulations, osteopathically and neuropathically (that is, correct where lesions are in such a condition as

may be corrected, and massage where lesions are such as corrections and impingements cannot be corrected until the body is relaxed), every other day, and every other treatment, or after every other treatment, massage well into the spine (whole length, arms, limbs, around the joints) those properties of Balsam of Sulfur, taking also this:
To 1 pint (8 ounces) [(16 ounces) - See 4358-2, Par. R5] of distilled water, add 12 grains Chloride of Gold, with 20 grains Bicarbonate of Soda. The dose would be beginning with 2 drops, taking once each day, preferably in evenings. Gradually increase from 5 drops (one each day) until 20 drops are being taken. Then skip one day and begin with the 5 drops, gradually increasing until 20 drops are being taken. Skip again. This will assist with the other properties as being taken, and will assist in the eliminations in system. Necessary that when this is being taken there is an evacuation of the bowels each day, though necessary to take a cathartic or enema, preferably enemas of oil would be taken, giving the properties of oil as is found in Usoline, Nujol or such natures, or as would be found in the combination of Magnesia and Petroleum Oils, or Petrolager in any form.
6. (Q) Will an operation be necessary on any of the bones of this body before it will be able to walk? (A) Not if the suggestions as given are carried out.
7. (Q) What foods should this body be fed to obtain best results for a speedy recovery? (A) Green vegetable foods. Only fish or fowl as meats. Preferably all vegetables that grow above ground rather than those below ground.
8. (Q) Can the bowels of this body be made to function regularly each day without the aid of cathartics or syringe? (A) Not until we get the system functioning more normal. Best that these be kept but changed from time to time by taking of the proper lubricants for the system, without so much of the cathartics, using enemas of oil, or high enemas of oil and water, changing from the Nujol or Usoline to Olive oil, taking olive and other mineral oils as lubricants and foods for the system, all the olive oil the body can take, without producing a retraction, or without becoming rancid, would be well for the system.
Follow these out. Be consistent, be persistent with the suggestions as given, and we will find we will bring the better conditions for this body.
9. We are through for the present.
