Time of Reading ..., Avenue, 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New Jersey. (Check Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body [5565]. This we have had before. Now, we find there are changes taking place with the physical forces of this body, [5565]. While there was not the whole of the properties as given taken, as that compound was NOT prepared in its entirety as given, still there has been sufficient change in the physical forces that the body may go about with other changes as will bring about bettered conditions for the physical body.
2. In the vibrations as are set up by the properties, the digestive system shows change in the assimilation and toward the eliminations, and with the necessary changes now there may be brought about a more effective condition for the REMOVAL of these spells as cause the inactivity of the system as respecting the proper coordination between nerve forces as respect to digestion and as respecting to the recurrent improper reaction between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system.
3. Now, to meet the needs at the present time, we would take these as medicinal properties. We would prepare, in this manner, this:
4. Take May Apple Root* 4 ounces. PREFERABLE were this gathered at this season, and the green. With this we would add 1/2 gallon of distilled water. Reduce this to 1/2 the quantity. Then we would add that of the:
Essence of Ambrosia weed [Ragweed].....1 ounce, and Simple Syrup...........................2 ounces, and Grain Alcohol......................1 1/2 ounces.
Shake the solution together before the dose is taken. This is as a tonic and as a nerve stimulant, acting directly on the pancrean forces in system. The dose would be a dessert spoonful twice each day, before any meal eaten of morning and just before retiring.

* [GD's note: It is not clear to me whether the Mayapple Root is referring to the Passion Flower usually referred to in the readings as Maypop or Mayblossom Bitters, or whether it is referring to Mandrake or Podophyllum (commonly referred to as May Apple). However, since Mandrake and Podophyllum are frequently recommended in the readings under those names, I rather think the reference here is to the Passion Flower.]
5. We would also begin now with the correction of the segmentations as exist in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar region, stimulating the nerve plexus in such a manner as to cause a more nominal reflex to the nerves as control the upper portion of the ascending colon, so that, with that of the enema as is taken (the oil enema), occasionally, will have the effect of REMOVING those crustations as have existed in the form of LESIONS in this region. These manipulations should be taken at least every other day. After these have been taken, and the medicinal properties kept up for at least ten days, there may be added as a stimuli those of the VIOLET Ray, only applying same to those centers where the action of the sympathetic forces come closer to the surface; bottom of feet, and along the sciatic nerve, in the palms of hand, and under armpits. This should not be applied more than two to three minutes for a full treatment. This given not more than once each week.
6. Follow these, and the diet as has been outlined, and we will find we will bring about the very near normal forces for this body. Do that. We are through with this reading.
