TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, and those conditions that surround same - this we have had before. There are many changes in the physical forces of the body. Some are for the betterment of conditions; some show retardments; yet in a whole, conditions might be much worse.
2. In the present condition, as we find, there must be the proper precautions that the drainages from those portions that are attempting to throw off DO NOT become of such a nature as to become re-infective. This, then, will require that the proper precautions be taken in the draining and in the dressing and cleansing of same. This should be done by TRAINED hands.
3. As for those conditions as will make for the BETTERMENT of the structural forces, and for the aiding of the conditions - take those properties of the animated or activated ash with BOTH the Infra Red, or a COMBINATION of the Infra Red and Ultra-violet rays. These should be taken at least three times each week, with the ash taken twice each day - an eighth grain.
4. Be mindful that the diets are such that sufficient of the calcium and chlorines are in the diet. Be well that hydrocarbonates be well added, but not TOO much in fat meats though the leans may be taken occasionally. BETTER that the fruits, citrous fruits and vegetables, form the basis of the diets.
5. Not too much exposure, for too easily may infection come from any congestion or temperature that would arise from the existent conditions.
6. Do that. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What causes swelling in lower portion of limb?
   (A) Circulation being cut off, or improper circulation. Hence the application of the lights.
8. (Q) What is causing the particles of bone to be discharged?
   (A) It's shivered and has got to work out! Never taken out when it was dressed!
9. (Q) Is the fracture healed?
   (A) Sealed, but not healed wholly as yet, as indicated by the conditions - or soreness. Do not strain or put too much pressure on, until we change conditions there.
10. (Q) How often should this be dressed?
    (A) At LEAST once each day, and oftener if necessary!
11. (Q) What kind of exercise?
    (A) As has been given, not take too much of any kind - except those necessary to keep up the activities of the body. ESPECIALLY do not tax too much on this limb until we have changed conditions here materially!
12. We are through with this reading.
