TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find the general physical conditions somewhat bettered, as far as those in the cerebro-spinal system, where irritation was produced through the depressions or the segmentation of the vertebras, so that we only need keep those conditions for the body as has been outlined, in the diet and the exercise, taking those properties in the way and manner as to cause the perfect eliminations throughout the system.
2. Do that.
3. (Q) Should this body's tonsils be removed?
   (A) Not necessary, unless the body does not build the system to that condition where eliminations of drosses in the body exceed the condition, so that the inflammation from the enlarged tonsils, through the suggestions as the body takes unto self, bring the drosses to the tonsils, producing inflammation in such a manner as to make necessary for the elimination of same.
   Do not operate until the blood is in better condition, for the hemoglobin and the leukocyte are too low at present for such. Should these be builded by exercise, and by the diet, to that necessary for an equalization, and the condition still shows inflammation, REMOVE. Unless we have inflammation, then we should NOT remove, for they are for a purpose, and meant to be in body, and would be detrimental under the present existing conditions. Remove from mind that it's necessary to remove and will remove the condition, building the body to that able of resistance. Taking more of those properties of blood building and keep eliminations through the intestinal tract, through respiratory system and whole body, manipulating the neck and shoulders occasionally to keep alignment in cerebro-spinal system, also taking the head and neck exercise. Using at times the gargle for the condition in the throat that removes the condition, and keep too many bristles out of the mouth. Better to use rag and finger than bristles, for the infection in same is often, and has been here at present, caused by bristle.
4. (Q) What should be done for the soreness in the lower right side of mouth, and what causes same?
   (A) Sour stomach and bristle from infection from tooth. Brushes that's used.
5. (Q) Shouldn't the tooth brush be used at all?
   (A) May be used occasionally, but not down the throat and back so much in the mouth. Better to use rag with salt than with so much paste.
6. (Q) What should be used as a gargle?
   (A) Alternate same between Listerine and Glyco-Thymoline. Gargle deep.
   Keeping mind well balanced. Make up in the mind that the body can build in itself that necessary to eliminate the condition, keeping the bristles out of the mouth and too much of the paste. We will bring the body to the normal.
7. We are through for the present.
