1. EC: Yes. Now with this body, [4557], we find there are conditions that may be assisted to be brought back to near normal functioning. There are other conditions that to the body have become normal. These may be assisted only in so far as the body would consistently and persistently apply self to the correction of self in its growth in the physical and the mental way and manner; or were the body able to apply wholly that force of the mental within to bring about that continuation of a oneness of purpose in self as to make physical and mental and spiritual a oneness, these may be brought to a normal condition. These may be accomplished only through persistence, and through the consistent, persistence in the attempt to continually try, consistently, being compatible with what is being attempted - either in the mental or the physical, to make the whole of the life, body, mind and SELF, one with the desire of that in the heart of the body, or the spiritual awakening - which may be only accomplished with the communion with the divine forces as are of the creative force within self, and one with the Creative Energy of the universe, or universal forces, or God.
2. As to the physical forces as may be assisted in this body here, to rid same of those conditions wherein the humor at times shows in the effect as is created in the eliminations, and in the manner in which the distribution of same is carried on in the body - this, then, is the cause of these conditions physical that arouse in the system that of the rash, or the conditions as seen in exterior portions of system: To cleanse these we would use first, every third day, take the vapor baths, and in the vapor as is created for same let there be that of the oil of sassafras applied in same. To the half pint of water (this as proportion) add ten minims, or drops of the oil of sassafras. After this is taken there should be the thorough rub down over the whole system of the body with the coarse towel, or cloth, to get a

stimulation to the capillary circulation. Especially should this be accomplished in the region of the solar plexus; that is, the 9th, 10th dorsal. Also this should be carried thoroughly down the lower limbs and across the locomotaries, or the sciatic nerve center, to the knees and through the hips and across the abdomen. This will not only set up the circulation as to assist in the eliminations to rid the body of these conditions, but will also assist the body in the reduction of too much weight for the body to carry, with the conditions as desired in same. This also necessary: Do not eat meats or white bread. Rather those of the nature that will carry more of the alkalin than of the acid producing in the system. Fruits then, and vegetables, should be the principal diet of the body, with little or no sweets. This the body may carry out for SELF.
3. Do this for thirty to sixty days, then we would give further instructions for this body - [4557].
4. We are through for the present.
