TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer any questions regarding same I might ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find the physical conditions as a whole are improving in this body. While there are still those conditions that are abnormal, and some conditions that are changed since last we had the body here, still there are others that have been given as to be done for body that have not been accorded the system. The conditions, then, as we find at present, for the correction of same under present existing conditions:
3. Needs be that the manipulation be kept in body at the present time. This may be accorded the body more seldom, once each week, provided same is done thoroughly, deeply, over those portions that show congestion in the system, for cold, congestion, the change in physical conditions of the body, all need the attention of the production of the forces as exercised through deep manipulation and relaxing of muscular forces and tissue, and the adjustments of segments in cerebrospinal system, that we may have the more perfect coordination throughout the body. Well, too, were those applications made of vibrations as would be found in this: [Description of how to make a Radio-Active Appliance.]
4. Two pieces carbon steel, 3/4" wide, 5" long, fastened together with carbon or non-conductor between same. These, in turn, packed in a covering (metal preferred, or tin), with gasket, of plain charcoal or of small enough to pack same. Small wires (insulated) attached to each of these pieces of steel. Copper, metal, plates attached to other end of wire. These to be attached to body each evening, one on one side (wrist), the opposite side ankle. Same to be placed (that is, the steel bars and gasket, see?) in very cold or ice water. Let this remain on body or attached to body for thirty to sixty minutes each evening. This, as we see, has this effect in the system: Equalizing of circulation to its normal condition, forcing coordination by the nerve reaction in system and relieving congestion in any portion of body same may occur at that time, bringing the better normal sleep to body, giving the physical forces the opportunity for recuperation through the equalized circulation.
5. For the condition as is shown local, in face, where nerve retraction has been disturbed, heat applied to this whenever cold or congestion is seen in body will prove beneficial, using with same the properties of salt, saturated with vinegar, heated and applied to same. Do that. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) How long should the battery be kept up for the body?
   (A) May be kept long as it lives, for it would be good for it all the time.
7. (Q) How much longer should the osteopathic treatments be accorded the body?
   (A) Depends upon the condition of reaction in system and those conditions that may happen to same through indiscretions of physical forces of body, as bring those conditions as are detrimental to the functioning organism of same, for as we find, the osteopathic forces are more preventative than curative. They only give to the body that condition wherein normal functioning of the system may take place.
8. (Q) Is the condition in the face improved?
   (A) Improved.
9. (Q) Will the numbness entirely disappear?
   (A) Entirely disappear, for we have more now as is produced by the effect of the nerve system in its inability to react to physical forces through incoordination than disturbance in physical condition of body, or it becomes that condition of neurotic, from or of which the body, as has been given, has that super or predisposition toward. [See 538-8; 538-55, etc.]
10. (Q) What diet should the body follow?
    (A) Any that is nerve and rebuilding to the whole system. Body does not eat enough to expand the dilations in the stomach proper, as has been given for the body before. Follow near in those lines as have been outlined for the body; fat producing, carbon coal producing; those necessary to rebuild energies in the system, those are the better. Not too much sour or high seasoned foods. Sufficient protein, fats and vegetable forces to supply the needs of the carbon and the fats for the body.
11. (Q) Why does the body feel so tired at times?
    (A) Incoordination. One of the many things as to why the vibration in battery forces are given the body. Relieves this tension, strain on system.
