TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [303]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the body-physical has been overtaxed for the strength and vitality of the body, and the adjustments of the body-physical to the varying changes in the mental and physical conditions of the body work a hardship upon the body. [Menopause?]
3. We would find that to be consistent with the eating would be as one measure; not taking of meats that are heavy during any STRAINED period. Let the body rest well before eating, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner; and not quantities of meat ever. As much of the green and fresh and raw vegetables as may be well taken.
4. Also we find that each evening upon retiring, or just before retiring, as the body rests, it would be well to apply the Radio-Active Appliance to the opposite extremities; for this would quiet the body, making it rest much easier.
5. Each evening we would use the electrically driven vibrator. Begin at the center of the spine or 9th dorsal plexus and massage with the vibrator towards the lower extremities, even going to the tips of the toes - but on the under side of the limbs, see? Then begin from the center again and massage towards the head and to the back of the head and to the arms and shoulders. Such a gentle massage would require about ten to fifteen minutes.
6. These will bring the better conditions for this body.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What is cause and relief for condition of head and ear?
   (A) Strain and stress on the whole of the body. Local condition in the ear; it may be cleansed by the use of the applications that are made by those that use same. The head condition is produced by the altering conditions in the body, as indicated. The applications that will equalize the circulations and balance the whole body with the proper diets will bring the better conditions.
9. (Q) Soreness in joints?
   (A) Same condition.
10. (Q) What should I do to remove knot on back and under right leg?
    (A) The massage as indicated should be used. To the ounce of Iodex add one GRAIN animated Ash; mix thoroughly, and apply it twice a day - morning and evening, not rubbing hard but around and over same. [See 303-2, Par. 27-A.]
11. (Q) Would it be best to have a surgical operation or dissolve it?
    (A) Dissolve it.
12. (Q) What is cause and cure for pains in back?
    (A) We have gone over these again and again. Just do what we have given, and we will find the condition will be improved throughout. The various effects are being produced from the change in the conditions and experiences in the body.
13. (Q) What purgative should I take?
    (A) When purgatives are necessary use rather those that are not habit-forming. If the diet will be changed and the vibrations taken properly, we will not require purgatives.
    Do not take the vibrator one day and then leave it off. Do it EVERY day for at least two weeks! Then leave it off for two or three days and then take it two weeks more; then rest two or three days and take it three weeks more! We wouldn't skip one day and take it the next, or take it five minutes one time and twenty minutes the next and maybe thirty minutes the next! and then not do it at all for two or three days. Doing it like that doesn't mean much! Be CONSISTENT with it, and the conditions will be relieved!
    But when purgatives are necessary, use either Alophen, Milk of Magnesia, Milk of Bismuth or Phenolphthalein; all of these may be altered or changed, see?
    Occasionally, for this body, Inner Clean may be taken, but not as a persistent thing. Or Simmons Liver Regulator may be taken occasionally. Do not take just ONE and keep on depending on it! Change the habits; change the diet, and these are better than depending upon little pills or capsules or pellets! Doing as we have outlined will be the better.
14. (Q) Why do I have so many headaches?
    (A) We have just gone over and over it! Do you want us to tell the troubles or disorders? It should be known in self: Conditions don't warrant it!
15. We are through with this reading.
