1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, conditions are not good as we find with this body. There are the effects of arthritic tendencies. These arise, as we find, from dilations and disturbances through alimentary canal and colon.
3. There would be then, thorough hydrotherapy treatments, these taken rather as a series. In the first series, take about eight or ten, once or twice a week, or twice one week and once a week the next, until ten or twelve of these are taken.
4. These should include colonic irrigations, one about every ten to fifteen days in the beginning, and keep them up until little or no mucous is indicated in the stool.
5. Also at each hydrotherapy treatment, we would have a mild, very mild sweat, preferably with a Fume Bath using witch-hazel, this in hot water and the steam from this settling over the body. Follow this with a thorough rubdown using pine oils for this body. If these are done properly we will get results.
6. Then the diet: Keep more in accord with better eliminations, more raw fresh foods taken. Little or no salt except kelp salt or what is called health salt.
7. This, as we find, should bring much better conditions for this body. Do that.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the physical explanation of hives, and how may I overcome this condition? (A) These are from lack of proper eliminations and of allowing self to become aggravated and breaking the connections between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous

systems. For this usually, as we find, comes from the area of the diaphragm and this is rather a combination. But with the character of treatments indicated and the general attitude being more constructive and less of animosities, less of holding grudges or those things which make the entity speak of others unkindly, these will be overcome, for these destructive attitudes bring on self all the pent up feelings and they find expression in irritations.
10. (Q) Piles? (A) Use Tim. And this exercise: Each morning upon arising, before dressing, gradually rise on feet at the same time gently raising hands above head. Then try and touch the floor with the hands. This gradually will raise the whole of the sphincter nerves, but cleanse same in the manner indicated and it will have much to do with correcting these conditions also.
11. (Q) What causes the stomach ulcers? (A) Conditions just as have been indicated are the sources of the acidity of the body.
12. (Q) How can I overcome fear of advancing old age and being alone? (A) By going out and doing something for somebody else; that is, those not able to do for themselves, making others happy, forgetting self entirely. These are as material manifestations but in helping someone else you'll get rid of your feelings.
13. (Q) What hobby do you suggest? (A) Get rather the hobby of helping somebody else. As a hobby, any of these things which would have to do with work out of doors with flowers or such activities would be well, but do plan each day to do a good deed, for somebody who is not able to do for themselves. If it's nothing more than conversation of keeping company for and with someone who is "shut in" or the like, you'll find great help for self. Do that.
