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 she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. The glory of motherhood may be the part of the entity from the present experiences, if there is the care and precaution taken.
4. It would be well that there be a relaxing of the body in tenseness, but to STIMULATE the RETAINING influences and the DEVELOPMENT of ALL influences TOWARDS what may - without a disturbing force - become pregnancy.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) How often should such osteopathic stimulation be given?
   (A) Whenever there is too great an anxiety. Do not become alarmed because of the change in feelings through the body, but when there are disturbances - this about once a week - have a quieting through the manipulative forces.
7. (Q) Any other special precautions I should take?
   (A) Be precautious about getting the feet damp, or taking cold.
8. (Q) Would it be well to continue to wear the girdle for my back?
   (A) Be well to continue, though it should be more of an elastic for the abdomen.
9. (Q) Has conception taken place?
   (A) As indicated, this may - it may not; dependent upon the conditions. The seed are present. The glory of such is present.
10. We are through for the present.
