We would change now to ONE GENERAL osteopathic treatment each
week, and one massage with Balsam of Sulphur in the lumbar
and sacral regions - rubbing thoroughly along the limbs to
the knees and ankles, following the course of the muscles
rather than the nerves. We will find that more or the
greater strength will be gained by the body through this mode
of application. This may be given by any masseuse, or by one
at home - will it be THOROUGHLY done, see? Balsam of Sulphur
- not to dry - but massaged thoroughly into the lumbar and
sacral regions, and ALONG the MUSCULAR portions of the limbs,
to the feet, ankles, and on to the upper portion of the body,
see? that is, to the hips.
Keep up the general diet as has been outlined.
Exercise in the open as much as possible, but do not overtax
nor strain self, and it will be found that in an earlier
period than expected the body will be able to return to daily
labors - or work - as is desired. Ready for questions.
(Q) Does smoking affect the body in any way?
(A) If in moderation, does not become harmful to the body.
We are through with this reading.

Your friend."
11/22/30 Questions submitted for above reading [53-3], which
did not get asked: "Are 2 osteopathic treatments necessary
each week? What can body do to strengthen ankles? Is body
responding to treatment as fast as it should? Is diet alright
or should it be changed? Does smoking affect body in any
way? How long before body will be able to work? Is there a
chance of full recovery? Would violet ray be any help to
body? Is body getting right treatment?"
12/01/30 Letter: "Will you please address and send enclosed
envelope to Dr. Lydic. I have to have a form filled out by
him for my insurance. I guess I can expect my reading now in
a few days... I wish I could have been in the Cayce Hospital
longer, but I simply could not afford to stay longer. But
you sure did wonderful for me while I was there."
