TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, [460].
3. Now, the general physical conditions of the body are near in that condition as has been seen and has been given, yet there are some improvements in same. Not well though, with the body, that the DIET be neglected as much as it is, or has been at times. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Give a general physical and and mental reading for this body.
   (A) The general physical and mental conditions are much in that same condition as has been given.
   As is given here, there are some improvements in the eliminations, yet that as is causing, or does cause, most of the irritation in the eliminations, or in the coordination of eliminations, has not been kept corrected. Hence these conditions reoccur throughout the body.
   Mentally the body is efficient. Mentally the body is very good. Yet the body should be more CONSISTENT with the application of eliminations in the system. Not that which produces only eliminations through the intestinal system, for the body must remember, the kidneys, the lungs, the respiratory system, ALL have to do their part, and unless an equalization, unless a coordination, is set up within the system between these various eliminating centers, these will NOT bring about normal forces for the body. Do that.
5. (Q) What causes the large bumps to appear on the face and back?
   (A) That of the improper eliminations in the system, produced by too much of those of the proteins in the body.
6. (Q) What will remedy this condition?
   (A) The diet, which should, under those conditions, be PRINCIPALLY green vegetables, and fasting.
7. (Q) What local treatments would you advise to make the skin or the face smooth and clean?
   (A) No local treatments. Rather that from the internal - for the eliminations, or the excretory system, or the whole of the capillary circulation, gives off that which is created from within. Set about to bring normal eliminations to the body, and the body will find that all of this will correct itself. Takes time! Takes patience - takes trouble - takes consistency! Yet these WILL bring about these conditions, would the body [if the body would] give that NECESSARY precaution and care to such.
8. (Q) What diet would you advise in order to increase the weight?
   (A) Do not increase the weight until the CONDITION is corrected in system! The diet at present should be wholly green vegetable, with a milk diet, see? Green vegetable, with a milk diet. Scrape, or grind, or grate, all vegetables that are eaten. Fruits, oranges, all of the citrus fruits may be taken in moderation, or taken as medicinal properties. Do not eat meats, and do not eat breads, until the system is at least cleansed. Let at least thirty-six (36) days be without meats or breads, or any strong drink, or any of that which would give an over activity to any portion of the system, see? that is, teas, coffees, cocoa, coca-cola, or any soda drink, see? Only green vegetables, fruits (not bananas), but other fruits, citrus fruits, and milk.
9. (Q) What should the body prepare for as her life's work? [See 460-1, Par. 6 advising to develop her mind along the line of literature.]
   (A) Teaching.
10. (Q) Is the body taking up the subjects that will be most beneficial to her in future life?
    (A) In the application of same, yes.
11. (Q) What do the friends and acquaintances, male and female, think of the body?
    (A) That which the body, mentally and physically, sets before such friends and acquaintances to judge the body by! for each individual builds or reflects that from within that is to be seen of others. Apply self, then, in the way that would build what the body intends that shall be that thought of, and believing - then act that way!
12. We are through for the present.

4. 4/12/27 Mother [325]'s letter: "[460] is waiting very patiently for her rdg. Be sure to tell her something of her future life, such as marriage. You know how well you 'got' [459]. [4159] is coming along now as you said he would - he is making good."

4. 8/29/28 EC's ltr. to Mother [325]: "[257] said something about [460] going to summer school. Don't you think she's been working pretty hard? or is it just that she's in a hurry to get through? [She graduated Cum Laude from Barnard College.] Don't let her overdo it."
