TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [391]; this we have had before.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Has my condition improved or gotten worse? [See 391-13 on 6/10/35 for gonorrhea, cystitis.]
   (A) The physical condition has improved.
   We find, however, that there should be the use of injections of a weak solution of Atomidine; one drop to five drops of distilled water. Use such injections for three to four days, then rest for three to four days, and then use them again. This will overcome these conditions.
   Then, we would keep the body in a building way and manner; that is, keep an even balance in the diets throughout, as to the acidity and the alkalines, as to the necessary influences to make for the proper balance in the glands' activities, the increasing of the hormones in the blood supply.
   So, as a body-building diet, and to keep such a balance, we would use occasionally the broiled liver (not fried), lamb, and especially the kidney and the brains; for these carry the elements in the phosphorous and the necessary influence for the creating of the proper blood supply. This does not mean to take these every day, but once or twice a week have kidney stew, or the brains, or lamb. These carry the necessary forces. However, when these are prepared, do not prepare in such a manner as to DESTROY their usefulness. The brains may be prepared with eggs, but use only the YOLK of the eggs when such is done, see? Parboil the brains first and then prepare with the egg yolks. Broil the liver with just a little butter. In the kidney stew use just sufficient salt, pepper and the like to make same palatable; also peas and carrots may be prepared with same if so desired, for they combine well with the elements in same.
4. (Q) What should I do now to get rid of the poisons in my body?
   (A) As indicated. Use the injections, and then keep the eliminations and follow a building diet as indicated - with these specific elements, see?
5. (Q) What should I do to gain weight?
   (A) When the strain is off the system, with the correct diet adhered to, the body will gain sufficient weight to keep in a normal balance.
6. (Q) Regarding my work for the winter, considering that which will be the best for both my wife and myself, which of the following would be the best to work towards: 1. Run one of my stands at Virginia Beach during winter months. 2. Run a place similar to this outside of ..., Ohio. 3. Open a place outside of ..., Ala. 4. Open a place outside of Ft. Myers, Fla.
   (A) Fort Myers, Florida.
7. (Q) Please name the exact location that would be the best?
   (A) On the main highway between the east and west, you see.
8. (Q) Whom should I approach in regard to such a stand?
   (A) There should be the investigation of the properties thereabout, see? Seek out someone there, and make the preparations now; not wait until you are ready to begin for the season!
   Seek these through the regular channels that are indicated for such work, see?
9. (Q) How much money will be required to open a place there?
   (A) A hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars ($150 to $200).
10. (Q) Would it be best for me to dissolve partnership with Sol Tepper this fall or wait until spring, and how should I go about this?
    (A) There should be some consideration of this on the part of Sol Tepper also. This should be gone over very carefully, with the due consideration given to all phases of the associations. And then arrive at some conclusions as to which is to be the outcome of the activities of each.
    Provided there is sufficient interest and there is the working out of the plans of the self and the wife, with the general operations, it would be more advisable to dissolve. But these must be given due consideration. And we would not consider same until next spring, at least.
11. (Q) Should I consider entering some other type of work this winter? If so, what would you advise?
    (A) This is cross-questioning! But, as we find, taking all conditions into consideration (as was sought for), this we would do for this winter at least - Fort Myers. And then there may be a consideration on the part of self as to a change, or a change may be brought about by the whole general activity. Of course, much depends upon self; as to the proper attitude, as to the proper outlook, and what is to be done with the whole of the activities. These, then, will give the sufficient opportunity for many of these things to be worked out together, see?
12. (Q) Could this place be run the year round, or be better just through the winter?
    (A) It's best to run through the winter; though it may be made, you see, a very good place from about the fifteenth of October until the first of May.
13. (Q) Approximately how much money may be made there during the winter?
    (A) How many eggs will a hen lay? This depends, to be sure, upon the activity of the individual, the manner in which the approach is made. Such questions are DEPENDABLE! Approximately - you ought to make about forty dollars ($40) a day; not net.
14. (Q) Are the boys we have working for us now honest and dependable to be trusted with money?
    (A) They are to be trusted with money, but there are other conditions allowed to come about that are the same as money; in time and in those things taken away, and in those things where they treat, and in those things where they neglect, those things where they destroy.
    These should be kept NOT as hardships, but rather as "We are working together for the common good of all."
15. (Q) Any other advice regarding any of these at this time?
    (A) First, of course, is the health; then the purpose or ideal.
    And let more of this be set in the spiritual. Not as longfacedness, but as JOYOUSNESS for a service well rendered, that there may be builded the better, the greater opportunities for the service to the fellow man.
16. We are through for the present.
