  1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for relief and improvement of same, and you will answer any questions regarding same that I may ask you.

  2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Now, we find the general physical conditions of the body are somewhat better than those when we had these here before. While there are those conditions in the eliminations that cause trouble at times, and there are indications of a mild acute attack of stoppage, or of clogged, or of the bowel refusing to act nominally, this, as we see, being a form of impaction, see? We would, to correct these conditions under the present circumstance, take small quantity of Epsom Salts - at least two (2) doses, one before meal, one before retiring. Then, in the morrow, when this has acted well, take then broken doses of Castoria, until at least ninety to a hundred and twenty (90 to 120) drops have been taken, see? This will sweeten, regulate, and cleanse the system; and then keep in the manner and matter of diet in the way as given, keeping those of the eliminations in the way as given, see? Do that. Ready for questions. [GD’s note: A small bottle of Castoria is supposed to contain 900 drops.]

  3. (Q) How much salts should be taken at each dose? (A) Heaping tablespoon, see?

  4. (Q) Should the body eat eggs? (A) Occasionally, yes.

  5. (Q) Has the diet recently been in keeping with that as has been given? (A) Very well.

  6. (Q) Should the body still have the electric light baths? [Sweat baths from dry heat, electric light bulbs in cabinet?] (A) As given, this would be well, be good for the body. Body should have same.

  7. (Q) Would an enema relieve this condition any? (A) That may be well to be taken in the evening.

  8. That is all the questions.

  9. We are through for the present.
