TEXT

1. EC: Yes. We have the body here, [257]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, as has been indicated, as for the physical forces of the body these are in a better condition GENERALLY than we have had for some time. There has been a little indiscretion, and rather a bad taste exists in the mouth at the present from the activities of the body.
3. With an alkalin-saline we would find the general forces becoming more and more in accord with an equal balance.
4. As has been indicated for the body, it is well that there be kept that tendency for an alkalin reaction; and to have those precautionary measures taken as regarding the lower limbs, the feet, and the proper activities throughout the body.
5. These KEPT, as we find, the physical forces will be nearer in accord.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Was there an injury to body caused by fall recently, especially to the end of the spine?
   (A) As indicated in the present, if these are taken advantage of by correction it might be that the fall has helped the body! It's jarred some of those conditions loose that we have indicated should be corrected in the sacral and the caecum areas; and the activities there through the ileum plexus even are better. We would have a correction made in the FEET, and these will be better.
8. (Q) Is riding a bicycle good exercise for the body?
   (A) Good exercise for the body.
9. (Q) What causes the pain in the spine at times?
   (A) When any condition has been jarred loose where it has been stationary, is there pain or is there ease? It is the NATURAL condition, and as has been indicated, taking ADVANTAGE of same, as to have corrections made in the feet - which are the other end or the ends of the nerve forces that have tended to give trouble to the arches and to those points, we will find an improvement from what has existed for a long time! This doesn't mean that there would be no consideration GIVEN the spine or the end of the spine, but take ADVANTAGE of these conditions and make the corrections in the feet as we have indicated!
10. (Q) Would arch supports be helpful to him during the day?
    (A) If proper corrections are made these will be much better that arch supports. Arch supports are fine where the breakdown has ALREADY occurred. When the corrections are being made, the system's adjusting itself would take care of this condition without same.
11. Do these.
12. We are through with this reading.
