TEXT

1. GC: You will give the present physical condition of this body, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he has submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes - we have the body, [470]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are very good in many respects. There is really a better GLANDULAR reaction than has been formerly noted or indicated.
4. There needs to be, then, precautions as to taking cold, or undue exposure, or getting feet wet or damp, or such exercise as to overstimulate the cardiac reaction.
5. When the correct diet - or the artichoke is available (and it now soon will be), we would take a little of these occasionally - once a week or the like.
6. We would keep exercises of the more specific nature to keep down the weight, especially around the waist. The hydrotherapy treatments once in a while, with the handball workout and the rubdowns that come with or after such games - tenpins and the like - are well.
7. These we would adhere to, with the proper precautions as to a spray occasionally in the throat and nasal passages. And as we find for the body, it would be well to vary; that is, use such as Listerine at one period and Lavoris at another. Use these, of course, as strong as is practical, but do not burn tissue with same, to be sure. They may be diluted with a little water. One is an acid, the other is an alkalin-reacting antiseptic.
8. And these as we find should keep the body in near normal condition.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What was the time of my physical birth?
    (A) As has been indicated [in 470-22, Par. 29-A] - that was the physical birth.
11. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 9/26/38 Wife's letter: "[470] thanks you for the reading... I am pleased with his present condition and hope he can keep his waistline down. I am glad of the little warning about overactivity, as he has a tendency to want to overdo in the line of sports. He is so fond of golf (and I am glad he does get out on nice days) but he goes out on Sats. and they usually play 36 holes, which I believe is too much in one day."
2. 2/28/39 He obtained his next Ck. Physical - See 470-24.
