1. EC: Yes, here we have the body here. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body here - that is [4724] we are speaking of.
2. We find there is considerable congestion throughout portions of the body, especially in those parts that have to do with the supplying of more of the rebuilding fluids to the system, as especially shown through the lungs and intestines here. The congestion also has caused some derangements to the expression of the lymphatic circulation so that we have this condition as we have it through the extremities and to some portions of the capillary circulation. This is not necessarily fatal at this time to this body. The repression can be relieved if precaution is taken to give sufficient new vibratory action to the lung tissue to produce sufficient carbon and iron in the system to carry replenishing supply of the lymph fluids to all portions of the body. The rest to the body will be as much or more than medicinal properties taken in the system if the properties given are sufficient to keep up to the action of the heart forces and given the stimulus to prevent deterioration in the affected parts in this body. The effect of the abnormal at this time becomes especially defective to the supplying forces, to those of the lymphatic and capillary that prevent proper distribution of these places and conditions as we have given, so that perfect coagulation must be brought about by giving more of carbons to the body in action through heart force and lung supply to the body here. To do this the properties given it should not be so much stimulant to heart forces as being given, but more that will assist functioning of liver and kidneys to perform their proper distribution and elimination of these poisons from the body in their proper channels. We would add to the properties as now given elm water, giving to the lower portions of the stomach more of the lactic fluids to be acted upon, so that absorption becomes proper into the amount of new blood force as acted upon by the carbon or air taken into the lungs. This acts directed and through the diaphragm and duodenum in this portion of the body. We

would also add to those properties being given to act upon the intestinal tract one or two grains of senna per day. Then let the body rest with the other forces that are used with this. Careful nursing bringing about the general things that tend to give new thought and new light through the brain centers will tend to relieve the abnormal conditions in the body.
3. (Q) How frequently must the elm water be taken? (A) This should be drunk when water is normally taken. Elm water is made by placing elm or elm bark in water until it becomes just strong enough to add to system properties presenting cooling and lactic fluids needed.
4. (Q) How long should this body take the senna - how many days? (A) Till the action from the system through the faeces [feces?], the regular channels, is sufficient to produce regular hepatic circulation and reduce the temperature in this portion of the body. Addition of iron in the system and the carbons will come through the introduction of these properties.
5. (Q) How long must this body remain in the hospital? (A) From five to six days longer. The reaction is sufficient then to build itself properly when it leaves. It can be removed in that length of time if these are followed.
6. (Q) On Friday last this body had an attack which the local physicians seemed to think was the heart. Was this true? (A) The action of forces of blood supply was repression from the lungs rather than from the heart - blood lung supply rather. It is lung force needing attention - adding the carbon - to cause complete coagulation. This is not a heart condition. If conditions as given to act on the body, on the heart as given here, if stimulus to heart action without relieving the congestion of the air chambers and cells expending and giving new life forces in lungs in acted upon with weakened condition of the body we might produce heart trouble not present. Forces should be applied to lung forces, not to heart action.
