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, we have the body here, [470]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, conditions are very good in many respects. There are tendencies for the body at times to overtax itself. And with those changes that come about in the pressure in the blood supply, such periods may be very detrimental. For the body to become overheated weakens the capillary activity of the veins and arteries, and is harmful.
4. Then, do not make too great a taxation on the body in heating or overheating, or too SUDDEN changes.
5. With these precautions, and then the adherence to the diets that have been indicated, the body should keep near to normalcy.
6. We WOULD have three to four good osteopathic treatments of the relaxing nature, rather than of the stimulating nature.
7. For a week, two weeks, even three weeks, it should not be harmful to be without the artichoke; but then these should be kept occasionally, to keep down those tendencies for sugar.
8. Refrain from any carbonated water drinks of ANY character. These are not well for the body.
9. The sour lemonade, or orangeade of the fruit itself, will be very well.
10. Do these and we should keep the body, with these precautions, physically fit - for the present at least.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Is it harmful for me to play golf while the temperature is so high?
    (A) As indicated, it is not well to overtax the body, to overheat same. It tends to weaken, as given.
13. (Q) Could you suggest something to be used until the artichoke can be obtained the middle of September?
    (A) It should not be harmful, as indicated, to rest from the artichoke until then, if those precautions are taken regarding sugars and sweets, and especially if the body refrains from carbonated waters.
14. We are through with this Reading.
