Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

  1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.

  2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - we have had this before, you see.

  3. Now, we find there are those conditions as disturb the body physically. These are of the nature that cause distress through the mesenteric system, and they produce an obstruction in the ascending colon.

  4. For relief for these conditions we would use the packs of saturated solution Epsom Salts, as hot as the body may well stand, see? These, with a cathartic in the form of this, will relieve this condition and set the system aright. Use six (6) ounces of Ambrosia or Ragweed in sixteen (16) ounces distilled water. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to eight (8) ounces. Strain. Then add simple syrup two (2) ounces, alcohol two (2) ounces, with two drams Balsam of Tolu cut in same. We would also add one-half (1/2) grain of Senna, if the dried weed is used. If the green weed is used do not use the Senna. The dose would be half teaspoonful three (3) times each day until there is the full evacuation of the intestinal tract, see?

  5. In the diet, while this is being taken, keep plenty of water in the system. Do that.

  6. We are through with this reading.
