Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.

  2. As we find, while conditions are disturbing at times and while there are those great stresses upon the mental and physical forces, if the body will be more consistent with those things as suggested in the diet and other applications, we will find better conditions coming for the body.

  3. We would change somewhat for the rubs for the body, but take them! And when these are taken, because the body feels a little better and it is necessary for an unusual activity, do not leave OFF the applications! Nor the electrical forces, for these stimulate the system. But if there is nothing assimilated, then the strain comes upon the body, as is shown by those conditions of the drawing of the muscles of the lower limbs, especially in the ends of the tendons and muscles of the larger portion of the lower limb, or that commonly called the calf of the leg. These under the knee and down to the ankle, through the shoulders, through the hips - all make for strain in the muscular forces by contraction from strain or from cold, congestion, and from acidity in the system.

  4. With those (the electrical forces) we would use; that is, don’t use at same time, but one portion of the treatment should be an oil rub prepared in this way and manner. Because it burns, do not leave it off.

  5. To 6 ounces of Kerosene or Coal Oil as the base, add - in the order and proportion given:

Tincture of Benzoin (not Compound, but Tincture)…1 ounce, Oil of Cedar Wood…1 ounce, Olive Oil…1 ounce, Oil of Wintergreen…1 ounce, Spirits of Camphor…1 ounce, Oil of Pine Needles…1 ounce, Oil of Sassafras Root…1/2 ounce.

These will separate, but shake together and each evening upon retiring massage same GENTLY into the spinal system - from about the 2nd and 3rd cervical to the end of the spine. Well that this be particularly over the ileum plexus or those areas where the muscular forces of the sciatic centers join to the body in the sacral area. Extend along the edge of the sciatic nerve, ESPECIALLY under the knees, over the calf of the leg, and especially the soles of the feet. Do this EACH evening!

  1. Be mindful of the diet, as has been indicated. Do not so overtax the body!

  2. After breakfast, as has been given oft through this channel, work a while; after lunch rest a while; after the dinner walk a mile!

  3. Ready for questions.

  4. (Q) Would it be injurious or helpful to have the knot under my knee removed by surgical operation? (A) If the time may be taken, yes. Be mindful that this is NOT done until tests of the blood are taken as to its coagulative qualities; else you’ll have it a running sore!

  5. (Q) Please give condition and cure for my stomach. (A) Be consistent with the diet and the activities for the other portions of the system, and this will adjust itself.

Occasionally the taking of Milk of Bismuth with Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in same will be helpful; this taken preferably AFTER the evening meal - half a teaspoonful of the Milk of Bismuth with six to eight drops of the Lactated Pepsin in same, in a full glass of water.

  1. (Q) Are there still knots inside my body? (A) At places there are those congested centers. Do these things for the REMOVAL of these conditions.

  2. (Q) What causes the heaviness in the eyes? (A) Poor circulation, overtaxation, lack of the muscular forces in the proper reaction. These have all been considered in those things that have been given. DO those.

  3. We are through for the present.
