1. GC: You will give the condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: Yes - conditions are not so good!
3. Now, while we find the body apparently losing in strength, and more complicated conditions apparently arise, yet - with the abilities of the body in its functioning to show even this alternation in the conditions, WHEN the assimilations are so poor - should be seen as a good sign, as would be called, or that the body still has resistance, and that the various portions of the body - physically and mentally - are attempting to use every ATOM of its strength and to cope with existent conditions.
4. Now, we find those conditions as we have given exist in a LESSER degree, though in a manner much as has been given.
5. Now, we would change from that of the diet toward that of the vegetable diet, would the body find that same will assimilate with the system, see? Not in large quantities, but rather the more often, UNLESS THE BODY finds that same does NOT agree or assimilate, and causes too much irritation throughout the intestinal system. It will be found necessary to still produce the evacuations and not allow any feces to remain too long in any portion of the body, for with the weakened condition poisons accumulating from there would soon destroy or BURN UP the resistance.
6. Now the character of the properties to be prepared will then, of necessity, be found to HAVE to be CHANGED, for what may agree one day will not be assimilated by the body, POSSIBLY, the next day - for, with this constant change as takes place in the system, the body is then in that state of being in the position of not being able to assimilate all vibrations at once, nor the same one with others not functioned, or being assimilated, see?
7. Then, the juices, the ACTIVE principles, of vegetable forces, especially of tomato juices. These SHOULD assimilate, and these SHOULD be given, for they carry the

NECESSARY vitim [vitamins] for the body, and IN their PROPER manner TO be used for THIS body. Those that have been canned, or those that are fresh. These may be CHANGED from one to the other, just to meet the needs of the body; or tomato soups, with small amount of the milk with same - goat's milk or mare's milk may be taken by the body in small quantities, PROVIDED same AGREES with the body, see? for this will agree in small quantity, yet if too much is crowded into the system, the system will NOT be able to handle same. Change from one to the other. Keep as much of the stimulant for the body as may be possibly given, see? using the Junket and those properties as have been given, OCCASIONALLY, to change and alter the action of these conditions through that portion of the system, where ASSIMILATION must take place, would we build strength and resistance for this body, see?
8. Keep those same properties of the oil, JUST as much as may be assimilated. Give those of the Codliver Oil occasionally for that condition that exists in the duodenum.
9. Use that inhalant as has been given, in THIS manner, see? To four (4) ounces of pure grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol....................20 minims, Benzoin........................5 minims, Rectified Creosote.............3 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.........10 minims, Tincture Tolu in Solution.....40 minims. Keep this in a glass corked bottle at least two to three times the size of the quantity in same, see? that is, an eight to ten ounce bottle the solution should be kept in. Shake solution and INHALE, see? NOT take it internally - just inhale in through the mouth into the lungs for the clearing of the condition in the lungs, and to give the blood more resistance, to purify the conditions for the body.
10. Follow these out closely.
11. Keep the body WARM - keeping feet warm.
12. Keep the body so that no poisons will accumulate from UNDIGESTED foods, for little digestion takes place, yet these MUST take place, should the body RECUPERATE from these conditions.
13. The body is improved from that as we have had before, as is seen by those conditions as exist in the body at present.
14. For those exterior conditions, where sores occur, or sorenesses, those properties as have been given, or Iodex, may be applied, or any SOOTHING condition to the body -
5714-2 Page 3
Iodex preferable, see?
15. (Q) Can the body drink just plain water now, or should it drink the Saffron Tea and elm water as has been given? (A) If elm water and Saffron does not agree, drink plain water - not cold water, but cool.
16. (Q) Would Lacto-Dextrin be good for the body? (A) Rather that as we have given and outlined of these conditions, than the Lacto-Dextrin. Ovine (?) would be better for the body, or Overine [Ovaltine?].
17. (Q) Overine? (A) Overine [Ovaltine?].
18. (Q) Where may this be gotten? (A) From the Overine Company, or any drug store. Very small quantity of this, for we do not want this to SOUR in the system, or form too much gases. Keep the charcoal, as has been given, occasionally, see?
19. (Q) What may be done to relieve the gas in the stomach? (A) Do not give those so that it causes too much gas! and these are necessarily wanted to be relieved from the evacuation of the bowels.
20. (Q) Should the enemas be kept up, or anything else used to evacuate the bowels? (A) Just as has been given! These are NECESSARILY to be kept up, with the oil, as has been given!
21. We are through for the present.
