TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - we have had this before, you see.
2. Now, in some respects the physical conditions show improvement. In others there are still those existent conditions that bring distress in that portion especially where reinfection disturbs the body.
3. This condition in and about the ear, as we find, doesn't show as much improvement as it should, yet there is that question as respecting the manner and way this should be attended to at present; for, while the condition does not show the improvement it should, there is not the indication of greater distresses arising from the seat or cause of trouble - but, as has been given, should the body not respond to those conditions (which have not been wholly applied), then necessary to remove the condition by and through the operation, see? Ready for questions.
4. These questions naturally arise from such conditions. Why has not the condition responded to that applied to same? It HAS, in so far and in the manner as they have been applied. That is, in the action of conditions in system, the whole system is better prepared to meet any reactory condition at present than it has been. Re-infection has not been taking place. The nature, the character of condition existent, shows that time would remove the trouble with less detrimental conditions - unless re-infection begins again, see? Hence, as has been given that unless ready response comes, then operate.
5. (Q) Just what part of the treatment is not being applied in the right manner?
   (A) The cleansing and the application of oil.
6. (Q) Should the X-Ray pictures that are being taken this morning confirm the ear doctor's opinion of operation?
   (A) Then operate.
7. (Q) Would the operation be the only course to be taken?
   (A) With that condition arising, and that condition created in the minds of those attending same, then that's the only course to pursue.
8. (Q) Should another doctor be consulted? If so, whom?
   (A) That's with the individuals, just as has been given. We have given the condition as exists here and that to meet the needs of same. If these are carried out in the way and manner, and with that same desire as has been shown in that as has been given, then the results may be expected in that same way and manner.
9. (Q) Is the ear improved?
   (A) This has been given.
10. (Q) Give any other advice that might help.
    (A) Keep thyself in whole accord.
11. We are through.
