TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Quite an improvement is shown in the general physical conditions of the body from what we had last.
2. While there are many conditions that might be desired, the general activities - if kept near to normal - will continue on the improve.
3. But we would continue to have sufficient of the manipulations and adjustments to keep the DRAINAGES set up in the system. For having an accumulation, as from the swelling, and those tendencies in the face, the lack of those eliminations properly through the alimentary canal for so long, with the least overcrowding of the system or overtaxing of the body there comes a reversal to disturbing factors.
4. Hence every two or three days we would have those adjustments again.
5. We would also keep up the body-building influences by the using of the Liver Extract and also the legumes and those properties that we have indicated as being better for the body.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What is causing the swelling over the eye again?
   (A) As indicated.
8. (Q) Will that eventually heal?
   (A) Will heal as soon as the system is set in order such that the drainages are FROM the system and not reverting to the superficial circulation.
9. (Q) Should the Animated Ash be used at this time?
   (A) Would be well.
10. (Q) For how long - or until what symptoms appear or disappear?
    (A) Until the area about the place shows a whiteness when there is the removal of the packs about same.
11. (Q) What might safely be added to the diet at this time?
    (A) Certain forms of shell fish; as lobster or the crawfish, liver and such like might be added with a great deal of help to the body. Corn may be added IN its proper preparation, which would be first parboiled and then cut from the cob and butter and the like added; heated just sufficient to make for the congealing, you see.
12. (Q) What is faulty in the present diet?
    (A) This may be indicated from the changes. Lack of the vitamins necessary for making coordination with the pressures that exist.
13. (Q) Would a trip to Washington, D.C., be advisable for him around the 1st of September?
    (A) This depends upon the manner in which the body has in the meantime responded to those disturbances as indicated. With a few of the adjustments PROPERLY made, and those applications as indicated, as we find it would be WELL.
14. We are through with this reading.
