1. EC: (Before locating the body, he said, "Very beautiful place.")
2. Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body at present from that as we have had here before. The greater part and manner at present, we find, shows considerable improvement, and in many ways the body greatly improved. The changes as we find: In the throat, bronchials, lungs, there is little - under the present conditions - to be feared from the effect of tubercle infection, save as would come from the breaking down of the constitution or the vitality of the body, that would allow those elements that have been encircled to find sufficient strength to re-inhibit self.
3. In the digestive system the greater distresses, and the greater anxiety may be felt for self as respecting conditions there; for there has been created by outside influences on the mucus membranes of the intestines - especially in and about the glands wherein there is activity through the assimilation of foods, new blood for the body - that irritation that must be looked after very closely, and the preventing of this condition going into the system as a constitutional, or as a condition that would be constantly draining upon the body; for with inflammation finding lodgement throughout the colon there - with the already weakened element of the vitality of the body through tubercle infection and the condition of the blood through tubercle infection and the condition of the blood by and through same, the fear of re-infection or sepsis beginning or forming at some portion of the pockets of the colon proper, especially so in the upper or ascending and transverse portion of same. This, as we find, produced by taking some properties in the system that did not assimilate with the gastric juices of the digestion and brought about
4874-3 Page 2
an acute condition. The condition has not been wholly eliminated, especially in the region as given - the glands here where assimilation takes place after the digestive action of juices from pancreas, liver, and the blood itself. This the greater condition to be feared. To be sure, there must be kept for the body, properties that will continue to act as an antiseptic for the lungs, throat, bronchials, and the constant building up of the blood supply; but no hog meat should EVER be taken by the body - not even hog liver!
4. In the adding, then, for existent conditions, first we would use as this: At least twice each day take from three to ten drops of Glyco-Thymoline as an antiseptic for the intestinal tract, preferably this would be taken in the early morning and just before retiring - see?
5. As the active force for the intestines, well that agar and oil, or that of Petrolagar (the neutral character, or red label) be taken - tablespoonful once each day, after or before the noon luncheon hour, see?
6. Use the inhalant for the lungs proper, bronchials, nose and throat - preferably this NOW would be prepared in THIS manner and proportion, see?
7. To eight (8) ounces pure grain alcohol, or at least ninety percent (90%) alcohol, add: Eucalyptol...............40 minims, Rectified Creosote.......10 minims, Canadian Balsam..........25 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp....20 minims, Benzoin..................20 minims, Tolu in solution.........40 minims. Keep solution (that is, the combined solution) is glass corked container at least twice the size of the quantity. This may be inhaled whenever necessary - at least three or four times a day, in bronchials, through the mouth, through the head also, through the nostril, see? three or four times each time - shaking solution - keeping well corked when not used. Do that.
8. In the diet - keep up those suggestions as has been given. Well that as much of olive oil and of codliver oil as is easily assimilated be taken. Be governed as to the quantity of each of these, as to how same [is] assimilated - for either of these is detrimental when not being assimilated by the system, for it acts as an irritant to the gastric and to the juices of the intestines and digestion, when not assimilated. Beef juices - as much wild game as may be obtained, or may be taken and assimilated by the
4874-3 Page 3
body. Keep in the open as much as possible. Be well were the body - after the condition with the intestines is corrected - to gradually seek a lower altitude; not too quick - not too sudden - but keep out of doors and ROUGH it as much as possible. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Are the pulse and temperature normal? (A) Near normal at present.
10. (Q) What is the status of my original trouble - lungs? (A) As given, most of these - in fact, ALL - no active tubercle IN ACTION at present. All capsuled and well sealed.
11. (Q) Why did the sweet milk and fresh pork upset me and cause pain? (A) As given - not acting with the gastric juices of the digestion.
12. (Q) Can I not get medicine from the drug store to relieve my stomach? (A) Relieve by removing the condition, see? That as the antiseptic given - nothing better, and the oil as will be assimilated by the system, and the intestines kept clear.
13. (Q) Could I not do better by living in the woods around turpentine stills and rosin, as for my lungs? (A) These are good, as given. These should be gradually changed to. Not too much at once.
14. (Q) From the condition of my lungs, how long will it take to get well in Denver? (A) The body is near ready to leave Denver, as soon as the condition in the intestines is corrected. This should take from three to five weeks.
15. (Q) Must I continue the diet I am on at present? (A) Follow the suggestions as have been given, and that which assimilates and agrees with the system - but do NOT use hog meat in any character or manner!
16. (Q) Are my teeth in the right condition? or will they affect my stomach? (A) Well that these be looked after, and we would use - after the corrections locally - that of Ipsab for the gums and the mouth.
17. (Q) What causes my right eye to blink or jerk when my stomach is paining me? (A) Through that reaction of the gastric and pneumogastric nerve. So that direct connection between hypogastric and pneumogastric with the nerves of the face and head. Hence we see the proper location from the trouble as has been given.
18. (Q) How long will it take my stomach to get in shape after I use your remedy or medicine?

(A) Given.
19. That is all the questions.
20. We are through with this reading.
