EC: We have the body here, [304] - this we have had before. Now we find, while there are congestions, and the activities of the respiratory system are involved in same, producing to the lung and the bronchi the labored breathing, and the discharge of muco-membrane from inflammation is bad, yet the resistance in the system, the heart’s action, and the functioning of the organs generally - liver, digestive system, kidneys - are better than is usually exhibited under these conditions. Hence we will find, that with the care that would come from the use of those properties as have been given in the Ash, with the lights, that will release more oxygen in the system, with a small quantity of the stimuli in the form of alcoholic content or the like - to STIMULATE the circulation, with the vibrations as will make for a stimuli of the capillary or external circulation, this should soon be relieved and thrown off.
-
Be mindful that the feet are kept dry; that there is not too much draft. Be mindful that the diet is kept so that the assimilations are well, and we will find soon that these SHOULD be thrown off, unless congestions - or other conditions not apparent in the present - should arise. Ready for questions.
-
These we would take each day, preferably in evenings as the body would rest. Keep the inhalant for the clarifying [as in 304-8]. We would not take too much of that which has been used as the expectorant [as in 304-19], but rather instead take the iodine - or Atomidine - in small quantities once or twice a day. This would be better taken of mornings than of evenings, for the ash with the lights would be better in the evenings.
-
Sleep warm. Keep out of drafts; and rest; and THINK well! Don’t condemn self, nor others, nor be too over-anxious; but be careful!
-
(Q) Should the body keep up the Calcidin tablets? (A) When necessary to relieve the breathing.
-
That is all the questions.
-
We are through for the present.

He takes an 8th grain of this a day, with a light tr. 3 times a wk., and he has found it to be the most beneficial thing imaginable.”
