1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find in many respects the body shows some improvement through the physical conditions of the body, still the intestinal tract gives much trouble and distress. We should use more of the alkaline solutions for the system. Well that the alkaline Petrolagar be added to those conditions for the intestinal system. This will prevent so much gas forming in the intestinal tract, from inflammation, where poor assimilation in the functioning of the digestive system shows distress, and add also to the healing properties to the intestinal tract.
3. Keep up those inhalants, for these are an addition to the system. Well were those properties as given [Heroin?] added to inhalant.
4. The diet - should keep as much of the beef juices as the system will assimilate well. As much oil, olive oil, and the oils of fruit and nuts are well for the system. These will give strength and prevent the gases in the system.
5. (Q) Have suffered for 40 years with piles, and I now fear that I have a fistula coming. What is the condition as exists? What remedy, if any, for it? (A) This is, as seen and as given, the wall of the lower tract allowed to be loosened by the condition in the nerve system that has allowed this portion to become so lax as to give trouble. Well that those properties as are found in that preparation as has been given [Tim] be used for this condition, see?
6. (Q) Some 10 or 15 years ago was operated on for appendicitis. At times have soreness on inside at location of this old operation. Is there any trouble here, such as adhesions, etc? Any remedy? (A) The high enemas, with the antiseptic, will give more

relief for this condition, with the massaging gently of this portion of the body after such operation (that is, the high enema) has removed or relieved the pressure in that region. Some signs of adhesions there, and the general inflammation as is seen throughout intestinal tract, the whole system absorbing (that is, through the alimentary canal) those conditions as are seen general in system, see? Hence the necessity of keeping these eliminations well in hand, not allowing any fecal matter to gather, yet letting system absorb all that it will take from foods, so long as the digestion is kept in good fix, see?
7. (Q) By pressing my fingers in each side just below my ribs, just above the large bone of the hips, I can detect a soreness. This hurts me a great deal of the time when coughing. What is the trouble? Any remedy? (A) This is the sympathetic conditions from the soreness of adhesions in the intestinal system, see? The poor circulation through this portion of the body. The gentle massage will give relief for this condition. Well that, after the system is relieved through the enema, equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh be massaged in the whole system below the hips to the upper portion of hips, or the abdominal region, well into the groin on either side. Massage gently as much as system will absorb, after the operation - that is, the enema - has relieved the system. Do not massage with the system full, see?
8. (Q) Is the stomach and duodenum ulcerated? If so, is it of a serious nature? Or is it just in a weakened condition? (A) A general debilitation, and the over-acid condition keeps this in this state. Hence those properties as given.
9. (Q) I cough and spit up a good little bit of mucus every day and night. Part of it is real yellow and offensive. Is this out of my lungs, or is it out of my bronchial tubes? (A) From tubes and lungs. Best that this is thrown off, and after such coughing spells inhale WELL of those properties as given, which will heal and give strength and resistance to system, destroying that tissue as is necessary for removal, see?
10. (Q) Are my lungs badly affected? (A) There are spots, and not badly affected. The general debilitation through intestinal system more serious than that condition in lungs; yet this must not be allowed to become localized, or centralized in any one portion at the present time.
11. (Q) How about bronchial tubes? (A) Rough, and show some inflammation.
12. (Q) When did I contract this lung or bronchial trouble?
4769-3 Page 3
What was the main or underlying cause of it? (A) General debilitation throughout the digestive system, and then with cold and congestion, with those of the bacilli called "flu" settling in this portion of the body, produced the condition in the lung, or localized same.
13. (Q) Have not been able to have my teeth fixed, as suggested in reading of June 5th. They do not hurt me, but I know they are in rather bad condition, including the gums. Is this contributing to any appreciable extent to my continued weakness? (A) This constantly adding pus to the system keeps the constant source of irritation. Be well were some of these removed, and well that those of the Ipsab be used in the gums and mouth, rubbed in and gently washed at least two to three times each week.
14. (Q) I suffer all the time from "rheumatism" in my shoulders and between my shoulders. Is this caused from the condition of the teeth? (A) This is rather of the neuritis condition than of rheumatism, and is aided and abetted by the condition of toxins in the system as a general, and of teeth as a specific.
15. (Q) Any specific diet for the body at this time? (A) Rather that as is outlined. As much of the Beef Juices as will be assimilated. As much of nuts, fruits and oils as the body can take, see?
16. That is all the questions.
17. We are through for the present.
