TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [120]. This we have had before. In some respects there are changes in the physical conditions at present from that as we had before. These are not material changes, for some of the activities, or some of the changes have tired, strained, and affected the body - not to detriment, as we find, as yet.
2. Would those conditions as have been outlined be followed, we find there should come, as given, the improvements for the body.
3. Would be well that, with changing of the light rays for the body, in the violet ray, there SHOULD be those of Bromide of Soda and Chloride of Gold given internally, in this proportion: The Chloride of Gold should be made, 15 grains to 15 ounces distilled water. The Bromide of Soda 10 grains to 1 ounce distilled water. When the dose is given, begin with 2 drops the Chloride solution and 4 drops the Bromide solution, in half a glass of water. Let this be taken at least an hour and a half to two hours before the treatment with the violet ray is given. This will act in this fashion or manner with the system: Assisting the eliminations, aiding the system to function through the glands - where assimilation has been hindered, that causes tautness in the centers about nerve ends, where they join in the joints or sinews of the body.
4. The manipulations should be gentle, [GD's note: Drs. Grace C. Berger and Cora C. Hansen, sisters, were resident osteopaths at the Cayce Hospital while Mrs. [120] was a patient there. You will notice that they were present for this reading and some others.] as given, and only about once each week should there be any attempt to rotate or to adjust, and then not without first applying heat - preferably that of the wet heat, or wet packs and heat applied.
5. As given, be mindful of the diet - following those much in the manner given, changing when there is found that disorders arise from any specific change. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is there any organic trouble with kidney?
   (A) Not organic, functional. This - a portion of the disturbance in the elimination, and the adrenals - especially - will be aided by the application of the Gold in system, with that of the vibratory rate changed, in violet ray. Do not apply the ray of such a period as to produce irritation, but of sufficient that there may be a stimulated lymphatic and capillary circulation.
7. (Q) Would the use of hot compresses be advisable?
   (A) When there are changes or corrections to be made, advisable. Or for relief of pain, advisable.
8. (Q) Should patient continue with the aspirin?
   (A) Gradually get relief from this reaction in the system, as is possible with the changes as should come from the relief of pressure in the system, by the changes as are brought about by the manipulations and by the diet change. These may be necessary at times, but RELIEVE these. Were these changes - or, should these become necessary, change to THIS character of stimuli, that will not be so severe: That of:

   Eucalyptol........................1 minim,
Rectified Oil of Turp...........1/2 minim,
Benzosol........................1/2 minim.

   This may be placed in a carrier of simple syrup, or may be taken in capsule. These will relax and ease, where the acid causes congestion in the alimentary canal. These, as given, would absorb in that of the FUNCTIONAL system, as related to assimilation, without leaving drosses.
9. (Q) How often should violet ray be given?
   (A) At least every other day. Oftener, [if it will] will it give relief. There will be periods when it would be hard for the body, but will be beneficial to the condition, so this must be judged according to the conditions as they arise with the system, [120] we are speaking of.
10. (Q) Would sweat baths be beneficial for this body?
    (A) After rest for three to four days, they would be beneficial, if not given too severely - and the addition of properties in the steam, or placing the medicants in the vapor, would be beneficial to the body when these are taken. Begin first with, to the pint of water to be vaporized, put at least a teaspoonful of witchhazel.
11. (Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given?
    (A) Every day.
12. That is all the questions regarding this body.
13. We are through with this reading.
