Time of Reading 11:25 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, Dr. [5618]. This we have had before. Now, we find there are accentuations of many of the disturbances as have been given as concerning physical conditions of the body. Those wherein the pressure as produces those paroxysms of the short breath, coming from that distress as has been apparent in the upper dorsal regions, or that receive impulses to the cardiac portion of the system. Hence the cardiac plexuses are most involved. This reaction causes the fullness of the heart’s action, as has been given, producing the tendency towards plethora, and the NECESSITY of the body being erect - which, acting WITH those pressures, as produce from such conditions that fullness in the lower extremities, HINDERING the circulation, and the swelling as indicated in feet and limbs comes from this, as WELL - as is seen - those conditions as HAVE been apparent in the stomach proper. The mental depressions as come from same, keeps the body from the proper reactions.

2. For the betterment, we would change the surroundings, the environs - for the pressure is such that this will CONTINUE to produce depressions until this relief can be accomplished, through the changing of the pressures in this region - which would require, as we find, complete rest - cool - not too high, not too low - an altitude, and with those properties as have been given in those of the iron, the camphor, and those of the rhubarb. THESE will prevent the heart’s pressure, as will be necessary for small quantities of Digital, or those that will keep the system cleansed and aid in keeping the nerves in accord one with another. The manipulations should be to RELIEVE the pressure, and NOT cause the strain to remain in this direction. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) Where would the body go to have the manipulations given properly? (A) Either in such a place as Dayton, or Nashville, or in Atlanta, or in Macon.

4. (Q) What should be given at the time of the paroxysms of hard breathing? (A) Any condition or element that carries sufficient of the ammonia, or of those properties that will relieve pressure in the bronchia and lungs; for it is the over fullness of the blood to same which FLOODS, rather than leaving lungs, see?

5. (Q) What specific diet should the body have at this time? (A) Those of alkalin reactions, and especially blood and nerve building.

6. (Q) Should any stimulant of any kind be taken? (A) This has been given, what should be the stimulant - Digital. Ammonia is a stimulant, also the Digital, or Spirits Frumenti - very weak, and not too much, but just enough to stimulate the circulation to other portion, rather than to these; would be better if they were of the BRANDIES, rather than of those of other character of the Frumenti.

7. We are through with this reading.
