TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before, Mrs. [325]. Much general improvement is seen in the physical forces of this body. In the activities of the mental WITH the physical condition, these are oftentimes distraught, by the effect of mental activity with the conditions as distress the physical body - and, as has been given oft, this SHOULD be left off BY the body - but may only be accomplished by the BODY, rather than worrying itself over or about the conditions which it may NOT aid, except to produce that of distraughtness in the own physical condition. This has been explained. ESPECIALLY would the same condition be applicable as has been GIVEN for [2372] in the application of the mental body with the physical body. [GD's note: See 2372-1 on 1/18/30 for young insane woman.]
2. In the varied conditions as have to do with the effectiveness of physical administrations to the physical body, these have been - and will continue to be - helpful to this body, [325]. Then, changes as may be necessary, make - but the GENERAL condition should be kept - the mental should be kept balanced with the physical effectiveness of the body, and we will find better conditions. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Should cocoa butter be applied over nipple of breast itself?
   (A) Iodex better, though cocoa butter may be used if so desired. Not as effective as the Iodex - for this is the combination of active principles in iodine WITH elements taken out, and of cocoa butter and of those in the carrier for same.
4. (Q) Give condition of front teeth, especially?
   (A) In the conditions existent, all these are affected - more by the mental attitude than by physical condition; THOUGH this may be aided by the specific application of that necessary to cleanse same.
5. (Q) Is there an hyper-acid condition?
   (A) When mental distraughtness, sure. When normalcy is with the mental body, no.
6. (Q) Is body ready to go home?
   (A) For a time, yes.
7. (Q) How many [osteopathic] treatments each week at home?
   (A) Two to three.
8. (Q) Is diet correct?
   (A) Very good. That is necessarily changed by the body to suit its OWN self - and wouldn't many override that!
9. That is all the questions regarding this body.
10. We are through with this reading.
