Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, Va.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1409]; this we have had before.

3. There is not a great deal of vitality, even as has been indicated heretofore. The acute conditions in the present are because of such relaxed conditions in parts of the body and tautness in others. The palate in the back of the roof of the mouth has lowered, thus causing constant irritation and coughing; and the more the coughing, the more the irritation.

4. As a gargle we would use Glyco-Thymoline of morning and Listerine of afternoon or evening. Use both full strength. If a little bit is swallowed, it doesn’t matter, but gargle or paint the palate with this; preferably gargle, as that swallowed would be an antiseptic, good for those conditions in the alimentary canal.

5. For the pain in side, coming from congestion in liver area, we would use Castor Oil Packs for an hour and a half each day for three days in succession, using these at the same time each day - as hot as the body can stand.

6. Follow the series of Packs with at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil taken internally.

7. It would be well for this body, even after this, to have a three-day apple diet, even in its weakened condition we need to clear the system. For this will get rid of the tendencies for neuritic conditions in the joints of the body. Also take the Olive Oil after the three-day diet. But don’t go without the apples - eat them - all you can - at least five or six apples each day. Chew them up, scrape them well. Drink plenty of water, and follow the three-day diet with the big dose of Olive Oil.

8. Then begin to build up the body with good soups - vegetable soups; not canned soups but make them - chicken broth, chicken broth with dumplings; chicken broth with the bony pieces and eat the bones as well as the pieces of chicken. Even potato soup would be well, but take quantities of it.

9. Then begin taking a good stimulating tonic in the form of Kaldak. A teaspoonful in the morning and in the afternoon; first dissolved in a very small quantity of hot water - a level teaspoonful - and then fill the glass with milk. This will give strength to the body. Keep this up regularly. Don’t do it one day and skip another. This will also aid in better eliminations.

10. But first the system needs cleansing with the Oil Packs and then the apple diet, before beginning to build it up.

11. Keep up the gargling with the Glyco-Thymoline of morning, which is an alkaline antiseptic for the throat and bronchi, and the Listerine in the afternoon - which is an acid. It is better to gargle than to paint the palate - if you can’t gargle then paint it - thoroughly; the throat as well as the palate.

12. Do that.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) After these treatments, are there special foods to stress or avoid in diet? (A) Certain combinations are best to avoid, as potatoes, spaghetti and white bread all at the same meal. No two of such starches should be taken at the same meal. A great deal of fats will also be hard on the body, as indicated by the lack of ability for digesting greases in the present. Butter fats and cheeses and such are well to be taken in moderation.

As to the activities of the body - don’t be too active - let somebody else do the work once in a while.

15. We are through with this reading.
