TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. As we find, conditions are very good throughout the general physical forces of the body, other than those strains that have been indicated in the mental and physical forces - and they only need those periods of relaxation, keeping the balance in the eliminations and in the resuscitating influences as to keep for normalcy; and we should keep the strength of the body.
2. In the bruises on the chest and arm we would massage equal parts of mutton tallow, turpentine, camphor and witchhazel - stirred together; then apply HEAT - when the body is ready to rest, you see. This will remove the strains in the muscular forces.
3. Keep the eliminations, and make for an activity through the liver, pancreas and spleen; and we will keep near normalcy for the body.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should the massage be given on the front or back, or both?
   (A) Neither one! On the side, where the pressure was! This is on the left side, about an inch and a half from the nipple towards the under portion of the arm - and the upper portion just above same and towards the arm pit.
6. (Q) This is only a strain and bruise?
   (A) Strain and a bruise.
7. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 12/15/34 Following 761-1, in response to GC's corrective suggestion for his health, EC said:
   Congestion and pressure, as indicated, through bruises and lack of proper eliminations. As we find, though, the methods as indicated are the better channels for corrections. Suggestions are rather heavy, with other suggestions for activities through such periods. We are through.
