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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. Many changes have taken place in this developing body since we had same here.
4. As we find, conditions are very good in most respects. There are still those weaknesses across the lower part of the abdomen, from a prenatal hernia; and this, with the general assimilating forces of the body, prevents more body-resistances being builded.
5. Also we find that some local attention is needed for the teeth. These should be attended by a dentist, and there should be more precautions as to the character and use of a dentifrice, as well as to keep better circulation through the gums. There is none better than an equal combination of soda and salt, dampened, as a massage about twice each week. Then any good dentifrice; as Ipana, or any that keeps the cleansing of the enamel itself without irritating same.
6. For the body-building forces, add to the diet more of the reenforced vitamin foods; as cereals, vegetables and fruits that are yellow in color; plenty of fish, liver - these should be taken at least three times each week, either one or the other of these.
7. Have plenty of regular, normal exercise.
8. At least once a week massage over the area of the abdomen with Peanut Oil. Also this massaged over the spine occasionally would be beneficial in keeping better coordination in the nerve and the muscular forces of the body. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. We are through for the present.

3. 9/01/41 Father [779]'s ltr.: "[318] wrote you asking for a check-up Physical and Life Rdg. without asking me anything about it. I did not know anything about it until one morning at table he said this was the day for his rdg. He has one more trip to Dr. Allen [Walter Allen, D.D.S.] [the dentist] - he has already been twice. I am glad that he seems to be in pretty good shape."
