TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, conditions show a great improvement in many ways for this body, from that as we have had here before.
4. Still, there is much that may be desired in the general physical resistances and for the body-forces to build up to meet the general conditions that show or manifest themselves in the activities of the body in the present.
5. But much of that which was a great strain upon the body HAS been eliminated.
6. Of course, there will yet be required some several months for the body to be entirely rid of the effects of the anaesthesia or the local application, or the effect upon the general nervous system and upon the blood supply.
7. Hence there should be kept the corrective sort of diet, as has been indicated for the body; keeping the building up through the use of the Codiron tablets - and these we would increase every other day about one or two tablets, see?
8. And keeping the activities of such in a way and manner that we will keep better forces, the body should keep recuperating.
9. When there are the headaches - which arise at times from nerve exhaustion, at others from the upsetting of the digestive forces, we find:
10. If it is from the digestive forces as produced by the reactions of a sour stomach, or a belching or the feeling of the fullness, then take a FULL quantity - or half a teaspoonful - of those digestive forces, or that will turn the activities of the stomach itself more to a lactic fluid as may act with these in the general system; that is, the Alcaroid. This will be found to be most helpful.
11. When it arises from the nerve forces of the body, or the body is trembly or gets excited easily, and there is the heaviness in the feet and lower limbs, then use the electrically driven vibrator; especially across the hips and the lumbar area, down the sciatic nerves on the limbs. And we will find it will remove a great deal of this.
12. This is much better than taking things that would act as a sedative, or to produce drosses in the system.
13. In the diet beware of too much fats, but rather those that are easily digested of any nature are well for the body. Not too much sweets, of course, but an even, well-balanced diet in all of these.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) What causes this soreness in my knees, hips and spine?
    (A) As just indicated, it is the effect of acid in the system. Hence when there are the indications from an upset digestion, use the Alcaroid for alkalizing the system - and to at the same time assist in producing a better balance in the alkalines and acids of the digestive system by producing better digestion. Then when there is the nerve exhaustion, overtaxation, or from mental reactions which work upon the nerve system, the electrically driven vibrator will help in relieving tension.
    Of course, it would be very well at times for the lower limbs, and especially the hips, to be massaged thoroughly with an equal combination of the Mutton Suet, Turpentine and Camphor which will also relieve the tension.
16. (Q) Is it necessary to change my glasses to get better vision?
    (A) It will after a time be necessary.
17. (Q) Is grape juice good for the body?
    (A) Rather inclined to be BAD for the body, unless it is FRESH, - that is, from grapes that are merely crushed and the juice extracted. Wine, if it is taken as a FOOD, is good for the body - but never by itself nor just as a drink.
18. (Q) Would the violet ray be helpful?
    (A) The violet ray at times is helpful, at others it'll be irritating to the body. Use the electrically driven vibrator in the present, rather than the violet ray.
19. (Q) What is cause and relief for the dryness in the skin?
    (A) Lack of sufficient vitamins for the replenishing of the lymph and mucous membrane flow to the superficial circulation. Hence as indicated, increase the quantity of the vitamin forces and influences as found in the Codiron pellets.
20. (Q) Please give relief for irritation and roaring in ears?
    (A) Only an exercise as we find would be beneficial here. This would mean of the arms and the head and neck. This taken consistently, for if it's taken just a day or two and then left off, or taken one day and skip two or three, or taken two or three and skip one, it will NOT be very effective! But the arm, head and neck exercise, gently taken, for a minute and a half morning before arising or dressing, and evening when ready to retire.
21. (Q) Why does body have severe headache after eating butterbeans?
    (A) Because they don't agree with the body! It's the effect of the casein that comes in same! Just leave 'em off!
22. (Q) How may body gain weight?
    (A) Do the things and eat the things, and keep those things as we have indicated, and the body will gain some weight!
23. (Q) Have the tumorous conditions in my body entirely disappeared?
    (A) The EFFECTS of these, as just indicated, have not entirely disappeared. There is the necessity of keeping the system in a well-balanced condition, that there may not be recurrent conditions or the breaking of cellular forces to produce such disturbing conditions.
24. Do, then, as has been indicated - consistently, persistently.
25. We are through with this Reading.
