TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [308]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the nervous disturbances of the body are those effects of the changes in the activity of the system in relation to glandular secretions and the pressures and the effect of same upon the general system.
3. We would first keep precautions as to activities of too strenuous a nature.
4. And we would have SEVERAL (this means at least five or six) thorough, gentle but deep manipulations osteopathically to adjust and relieve the pressures along the whole of the cerebrospinal system.
5. As a tonic we would take Tonicine for a period of at least thirty days. Do not take as the directions are upon the bottle, but as this: Take about eight to ten drops in a little water twice a day, before the morning meal and before retiring.
6. Thus we should find the nearer to normal conditions in most respects will come for this body.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Will this regulate her menstrual periods?
   (A) This will regulate these conditions, for it is the disturbance here and the pressures that are causing many of those disturbances in the glandular system and thus affecting the organs of the body.
9. (Q) What causes her to get sick and turn so pale when riding on street cars?
   (A) Natural effect or reaction from the nervous conditions of the body. With the correction of these and keeping the balance in the system, this should be much overcome. It's a mental attitude, produced by nerve reaction.
10. (Q) What caused tooth to come in the roof of her mouth and what should be done about this?
    (A) Must be removed. This is a misplaced, as it were, corpuscle first; then the formation. Necessitates the removal.
11. (Q) What dentist would be advised?
    (A) One in whom the body or those responsible for same has the utmost confidence.
12. (Q) Should any of the treatments outlined in last Reading be kept up for an indefinite period?
    (A) These as we find as indicated here for the present relief. Leave off the others, unless in the general manner.
13. (Q) Why does she stay so thin around the neck?
    (A) One condition is, of course, the general stature; the other is pressures upon the bodily forces. This is a natural condition during this special period of change in the body.
14. (Q) What causes the pressure there?
    (A) In segments.
15. (Q) What causes constant clearing of throat?
    (A) Pressure upon the ganglia as lead to the larynx.
16. (Q) She was gritting her teeth the other night. Any more worms? [See 310-1.]
    (A) This is more nervous reaction, and as we find with the removal of the pressures, the toning and tuning of the system to the activities of the glandular forces through the properties taken in the manner indicated (which requires taking for longer periods but which will be more effective) should change all of this.
17. (Q) What should be done to improve her posture?
    (A) Only her own mental attitude, and her own activity. Of course, to remove the pressures in the cerebrospinal system will assist, but there must be thought taken by the body.
18. (Q) Which of the following schools would be best for her to enter this fall: Blair Jr. High, Ruffner Jr. High, Norview High School, or Bayville School?
    (A) Norview High. [See Life Reading 308-3 on 7/15/36.]
19. (Q) Any further advice?
    (A) Keep the spiritual attitudes and aptitudes as the principles of the mental self.
20. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See Ck. Physical 308-2 on 8/29/34 for bedwetting.
2. 8/30/37 Mother submitted questions for 308-4, saying that the main reason for seeking the rdg. was a misplaced tooth in the roof of mouth, irregular and painful menstrual periods. Also advice on her reaction to riding on the street car. She would turn greenish and become nauseated. Sometime ago she had a very bad fall. Could this be responsible for her upset condition? She fell on her head and was in a daze for an hour or so afterwards.

REPORTS

1. 6/14/38 Mother reported: "The reading 308-4 did cover her condition in every detail. Her menstrual periods were very irregular, accompanied with much pain and discomfort. I did not consult a physician at this time. We have not followed the reading suggestions exactly, due to financial conditions, but as near as possible, through a period of several months.
   "Her general health is much better; more regular menstrual periods, with less pain; not as nervous as she was.
   "Up to the present time she has not had the osteopathic adjustments needed for the pressures."
2. 8/04/38 Mother phoned for emergency rdg. 308-5, for chills and fever.
3. 8/12/38 See 308-6 advising convalescent treatment for typhoid fever.
4. 11/22/39 She obtained 308-7 especially for fainting spells, shortness of breath, inability to concentrate.
5. 7/30/40 Dr. F. C. Hudgins, Jr., D.O. reported that he had been treating Miss [308] for dysmenorrhea for six months, according to the readings, and had gotten good results.
