1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had here before.
3. Now, we find there are changes in the body since last we had it, other than the regular or normal development of the body. Some conditions are bettered. Others are not so good.
4. The cause of the existing conditions in the body is produced by the condition existing in the glands, that have to do with the building in the new blood supply. Those, then, of the mesenteric system are the ones involved. All to a greater or lesser degree. Hence the continual show of temperature in the body, and the showing of the strain as is produced in the kidneys, especially in their eliminations. These the greater conditions produced. The cause of this existing, then, in the glands where the blood is made anew in the system. The lacteal ducts and the glands of the kidneys become involved, in the inability of these ducts to supply the necessary building without a strain on those portions of system that have to do with elimination. Then, we have an unbalanced system in that of this change. This produces pus at times, and gives to the supply of blood that comes to the lungs those of the depressions, tired feeling, inability for the body to eat much, the inability of perfect digestion - this producing, then, inflammation in this fermentation as goes on in the intestinal system BEFORE entering the colon. Then we have the rise of temperature from same, and the colon becoming dilated by OVER supply, the liver not acting normal, bringing then the over burden to the kidneys. This, then, is the general condition as is seen.
5. To meet this condition at the present time, we need more real sunshine for the body. Sunshine baths, sand baths,

rubbed well over the body, especially along the spine. Sea air and sand would be well for the body, and then enough of the massage and manipulation to stimulate the condition that has to do with the branches of the cerebrospinal system, in the region of the 6th dorsal to the 2nd lumbar. These stimulated so that the action of the system (other than that of the sand rubs or sun baths, see?), so that the inclination, is to STIMULATE that of the mesenteric system, so we keep inflammation drawn out of the system. At first this will produce some nausea. This should not worry or cause any distress, for the system must ELIMINATE, and we must over stimulate the body to produce this first, so that we may remove this from the system, see?
6. Use inhalations for the lung and blood supply, and this vibration as will be produced by this inhalation will stimulate blood supply, stimulate the kidneys, stimulate all of the system throughout, so as to create the normal metabolism in the system, also the katabolism, which is the distressing point in the system at present, see? Temperature will be reduced by such. This as the inhalant: To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol...........................20 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.................5 minims, Canadian Balsam, or Balsam of Fir.....5 minims, Benzosol.............................10 minims, Benzoin...............................2 minims, Tincture of Tolu (in solution).......30 minims.
7. Keep this in a glass, corked, bottle, LARGER than the quantity by half - at least that much. Shake solution well together each time before this is inhaled. Inhale at least 3 times each day, see?
8. Then the diet: This should be looked after carefully, which should consist of this:
9. NEVER any meats, though the juices of beef should be taken at least once each day - tablespoonful or more, see? prepared by using pure beef, fresh, and just the juice - NOT broth, but the JUICE from the beef. Season so as palatable for the body. Then the juices of vegetables, such as beans, lentils, and such nature. As much onion juices as the body is able to assimilate. Plenty of OILS - olive oils, codliver oils - any of the oils that will assimilate in the system, so as to give, as it were, a new coating to the portion of the intestinal system from stomach to the colon. See? Not as to irritate, but as to stimulate those portions. We will see, with this, that this condition will

disappear, and the sunshine and sand rubs would be the better, for this needs the clarification of blood through the respiratory system, through perspiring, and through the general system, that the eliminations may be balanced in system and not too much cast through one condition.
10. This will bring about normal conditions for this body, [5566].
11. We are through with this reading.
