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.
3. As we find, the general health, the general strength is diminishing somewhat from that as we have found indicated at times; yet a great deal of resistance is still existent.
4. In the main, we find that the body needs to rest and to use the Radio-Active Appliance at least twice each day; when resting of morning and when ready to retire, or when resting in the afternoon.
5. Of evenings we would give a gentle massage into the cerebrospinal system and into the neck and head with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. This will not only act as a skin invigorator but the absorption of these oils will stimulate the circulation and prove most beneficial.
6. The cracking of the jaw, you see, is from the lack of sufficient oil, or of the circulation. Hence this character of rub would be most beneficial. Take the time to give the oil rub. Let the body absorb all that it will. Don't do it just to hurry through with it, but gently, in a circular motion, downward along the spine, and over the shoulders, the hips and the sacral, also the neck and head.
7. To quiet the body at times we would use the sponge applicator of the electrically driven vibrator. Commence with the side of the head, or behind the ears, across the chin and neck, across the frontal portion of the body - especially over the chest bone or the upper portion, and across the collar bone and neck; then downward along either side of the cerebro-spinal system. This as we find will relax the body, and - with the oil rub and the Radio-Active Appliance for stimulating an equalized circulation - we will materially aid and strengthen the body.
8. The beef juice taken as medicine will give strength. Take this three to four to five times a day, but take at least five minutes to sip a teaspoonful of it.
9. Juices and broths are much better than too much solid foods. Take all of the broths, soups and the like that the body may take, but these should not be rich in oil or fat but rather rich in vitamin strength as the basic forces of the vegetables or meats used in preparing such.
10. Do not take sedatives any oftener than absolutely necessary.
11. Doing these, as we find, will give the better help for this body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What should be done for the same old trouble in jaw?
    (A) As indicated, the electrically driven vibrator movements, the oil massage and rub, and the Radio-Active Appliance. These as we find will bring the better conditions of this body.
14. (Q) The trouble in shoulder muscles, arms and hips?
    (A) All of these effects are taken into consideration in the character of treatments suggested. Do that.
15. (Q) Is Elixir Bourbon good for me?
    (A) Bourbon would be VERY good, but it should be not taken as an elixir, - this is not good for the body, for it carries a stimulant that is not well for this body.
16. (Q) What tonic would be best?
    (A) Any that aids in stimulating the circulation. As we find, we might PREPARE a tonic, but the stimulation as we find had best be from outside, and the activities of the foods taken to give the stimulation, rather than the system becoming dependent upon properties taken internally to give a stimuli.
    Do these, as indicated.
17. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 326-9 on 7/08/37 giving advice for flare-up of tic douloureux, from which she had been free for three years by following the treatment in the readings. [See 326-4 Reports.]
2. 6/20/40 "I am getting on as well as can be expected under the circumstances. For about three months I've been suffering with my shoulders and muscles, also back; and for about a month I have been bothered again with my jaw [tic douloureux]. I have been taking Eno Salts, and went back to the packs [salt and rum packs? as in 326-6? for face? Or Epsom Salts packs for shoulder and joints, as in 326-5?] for a while. I would be grateful if you would give me a rdg. I feel sure that your information will help me. Thank you for all past help, more than I can express."

REPORTS

1. 7/25/40 She requested 2289-2 for grandson.
2. 12/06/40 See 326-13, for cold, neuralgia, etc.
