Time of Reading 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5583]. Now, we find in many respects the physical forces are very good, but there HAS been disorders wherein the system attempting to adjust itself to changes existent in the functioning organs, as to segregate and to cause the pressures from enlarged, engorged conditions through the abdominal regions; so that pressures are produced in system as to bring distresses at times. These alterations and changes make for improper functioning of the liver and the assimilating system, as WELL as for those distresses as are produced in the extremities, through the repression of proper circulation, with the nutriment for the replenishing of forces as are in the used portions, or the drosses as are left by this altered circulation. These, as we find, bring about those distresses and those conditions as CAUSE distress with this body, [5583].
2. In meeting the needs of the conditions, we will find that by the relieving of pressures existent in the cerebrospinal system, drainages may be set up to such an extent as to cause the elimination of these distresses. These, as we find, while they will require a longer period of time to be accomplished in this manner, will bring the BETTER results for the physical body.
3. In addition to setting up the drainages, we would add those properties to the system as will make for the better functioning and coordinating of the conditions in the digestive system, the active forces with liver itself, changing of the gastric content in the system; also as an aid to the functioning of the kidneys themselves, toward carrying out of those forces from the system as tend to make for the uric acid in system.
4. These we would prepare, then, in this manner, as a medicinal property for same: First we would take 16 ounces distilled water. Add to same, if dried, 8 ounces of garden sage; if green, 6 ounces of same. Reduce same by slow boiling to 1/2 the quantity. Then strain off, set aside to

cool. Then take 1 ounce of preferably the green ambrosia weed, or ragweed. Put this in 6 ounces of distilled water and reduce to 2 ounces. Strain, then add to that of the sage solution; adding to same beet sugar 4 ounces, dissolved in 2 ounces of hot water. Then reduce the whole content to 8 ounces, see? Then add Gordon Gin 4 ounces. Dissolve 10 grains of ambergris in 1 ounce of pure grain alcohol and add to same. Then add 10 minims of oil of sassafras and 2 drams of cinnamon, preferably in the stick. Shake the solution together before the dosage is taken, and take about thirty minutes before the meal and before retiring, a teaspoonful at a dose.
5. In the diet, be mindful that there are only those conditions taken in system as will make for clarifying the blood and of nerve building; so that the system will, with the drainages, act as towards building up the whole of the resistive forces in body. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Why does body's back hurt? (A) From those pressures as are produced from the effect of the kidneys being overtaxed and attempting to adjust same. It's more the MUSCULAR forces from poisons, than from kidneys, see?
7. (Q) What causes pains in stomach? (A) Disturbance in the digestive system, as has been outlined.
8. (Q) What causes stiffness in legs, knees and toes? and burning of feet? (A) Acidity, produced by poor circulation and non-eliminations.
9. (Q) What causes pain in chest? (A) Circulation.
10. (Q) What causes feeling of tiredness? (A) Poisons. Toxic poisons in system.
11. (Q) What causes constipation and weak bladder? (A) This is as has been described, and why these changes are given in system. Constipation is produced from the absorptions in system, and the filling up of the colon itself, see?
12. (Q) Will the drainages be set up through manipulation, and how often should these be given? (A) In the beginning, and until the system is well established, would be well to have first colonic irrigations - two a week, until at least four are taken, see? The manipulations should begin with the same period, and have them every other day until at least ten are taken - then they may be taken once a week, or twice a week, see?
13. We are through with this reading.
