TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Not so good in the present as when we had it here before.
2. Some of those properties that will be necessary for the building up of portions of the system should be quite helpful, through the activity of portions of the system that have been lacking.
3. As we find, those adjustments from the accident as indicated here are in a natural position; and unless by the use of same or by the lack of the properties necessary for the replenishing in the system of the vital forces necessary to make a perfect union, these should be proper and alright.
4. We will find that taking small quantities of Atomidine will be MOST helpful to the body; two minims (not more than this) in a glass of water night and morning.
5. Also we find it would be well to have a great deal of those foods that carry an abundant supply (though not an overabundance) of calcium, also phosphorous.
6. Hence to eat the shell fish (PROVIDED these are very fresh) will be most helpful. Use salsify; which may be prepared already, of course, at this special season, and the vegetables that are of the early SPRING nature; such as onions (the smaller kind), radishes, peas. Of course, necessarily, most of these will have to be canned; and are alright, provided not canned with benzoate of soda. These should be a great portion to the diet.
7. A broiled steak occasionally (not too much, but two to three times a week) will be helpful. But shell fish at least three to four times a week would be helpful.
8. Begin massaging the body through the brachial and upper cervical area with a saturated solution of common salt (not iodized) and pure apple vinegar. Do not rub so hard as to produce irritation or to break the skin, but sufficient to make for a better circulation in the superficial portions of the body. Rub from the central portion to the extremities; or begin just below the shoulder blades and rub towards the head. Begin towards the end of the spine, a circular motion. This will prevent the stinging sensation or itching that occurs in the superficial portion of the system.
9. Do these and we will make for the better conditions.
10. Do not be overanxious, but be anxious ENOUGH to be MINDFUL that old bones don't knit as easily or as quickly as new bones! Then SUPPLY the new elements for same, see?
11. (Q) Then the arm is set properly?
    (A) It is set properly.
12. (Q) Is it a normal condition for the blood to rush to the hand as it does?
    (A) Not a normal condition; but not abnormal for the body. This is from the unbalancing in the superficial and internal circulation, as we have indicated.
13. (Q) Any suggestions for the betterment of the arm when the splints have been removed?
    (A) As indicated, when these are taken off, gradually extend the rub with the saturated solution. This do every day; not too much, but sufficient that the circulation is stimulated, and that the body absorbs some of the sodium chloride.
14. (Q) Any other suggestions?
    (A) Do these in the present.
15. We are through with this reading.
