Time of Reading 3:00 to 3:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [404]; this we have had before.

2. (In undertone) Unless there are some changes, the body tends towards a disturbing condition.

3. As we find, there are tendencies for toxic forces to produce infectious forces in the blood stream. Hence an inner temperature, a disturbance in the blood pressure, a quick pulsation (intermittently), an aching all over the body, a little nausea at times, and the general effect of toxation - arising from those disturbances that have been indicated in the digestive forces of the body, and those periods of congestion in the eliminations throughout. These are the causes, and are producing a malarial effect as well as poisons that make for the tendencies towards a NERVE pressure also upon the whole nervous system.

4. In the immediate, as we find, there should be rather a diet of a semi-liquid or liquid nature. Fruit juices, beef juice wine - as a stimulant.

5. First we would take the Simmons’ Liver Regulator. Take this in rather broken doses, and preferably the dried. Take half the quantity as given on the directions for the dosage, but let there be taken about two or three doses in a day - or half the quantity indicated for the dosage.

6. But in the beginning, or as the Simmons’ Liver Regulator is begun, we would also take a high enema; so as to relieve those pressures and tendencies for gas and the formation of mucous that has produced and does produce this congestion in the intestinal tract - as well as toxic forces or malarial toxemia in the liver and digestive system. Also this will aid in relieving this aching, and this tendency for a temperature - as well as:

7. We would also massage the back, across the shoulders, down the spine, across the solar plexus and across the lumbar area, with equal portions of Mutton Suet, Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor and Tincture of Benzoin. Heat the Mutton Suet to add the others; not too hot, but sufficiently so they may be all stirred together - and mix in the order as named.

8. It would be well for the feet to be kept very warm, and especially the lower limbs and the feet also massaged good with the combination indicated.

9. Do this, as we find for this body in the present.

10. Ready for questions.

11. The rubbing we would do at least two or three times a day, until the body has THOROUGHLY eliminated.

12. Because the bowels move the once, either by the use of the enema or the Liver Regulator, do not stop - but move these at least two or three times. This will be a little weakening. Hence, as given, the beef juices and wine will be the stimulants - and these tend to make for relaxation through the body also.

13. (Q) What causes the running in ear at times? and what should be done for it? (A) This is from the congestion in the other portions of the body and its weakness that tends to make for a disturbed circulation. If there is kept the cleansing of same, and the use of the sweet oil in same, this will gradually clear. Just a drop of the sweet oil inside, you see; but this should be cleansed, of course, afterward - or the next morning after this is used.

14. (Q) What causes the sharp shooting pains in head? (A) Temperature; internally!

15. (Q) Was the last medicine compounded properly? (A) Not compounded properly.

16. (Q) Should the prescription be filled and taken again? (A) Not at this time. These would be changed, as we find, later.

17. (Q) What produced this lockage of the bowels in the beginning? (A) An inflammation that exists in the pyloric portion of the stomach itself, as has been once indicated.

18. (Q) Is Crazy Water Crystals good for this body? (A) Rather severe. Those of a vegetable nature, rather than mineral, are better for this body.

Simmons’ Liver Regulator - there’s nothing much better for a system, especially of these conditions. Taken in broken doses it is more effective and less active to the tendency for contraction in the pylorus.

19. (Q) What can be done to cure gas in stomach and bowels? (A) First eliminate the toxic forces throughout the system, and then keep a tendency towards alkalinity.

Do these, as indicated, for the body in the present.

20. We are through for the present.
