TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. In many ways and manners we find the general physical forces of the body much improved.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Please describe the derangement of the right foot, stating cause of this trouble and the proper method of treatment for correction.
   (A) There have been the tendencies for a weakness in the Achillean burse in the foot, which has made for the falling of the support in the right side of same.
   If there will be the correction made in the foot, osteopathically, from the ankle to the end of the toes on these sides, this will gradually relieve these stresses and strains there, you see; using that as the burse in the heel and that one in the central arch as the basis for the circulation of those points in the foot. For, as may be seen, there's nearly a third of the bones of a body in the feet! These make for, then, the necessity of these being kept in accord.
   A support, or arch support, as the body is HAVING the corrections made, would be well.
5. (Q) Is the metal arch, with the metatarsal pad, as recommended by G. J. Garrod, representative of Dr. Scholl, the proper appliance to correct the derangement?
   (A) This will not CORRECT the condition. It will hold it better in place, but if the ordinary arch brace is used and the corrections made, it will REMAIN corrected; while to use any metallic or any brace that is set for a certain position - unless the corrections are made with same - would not be permanent, but it would be permanent that you would wear the brace!
6. (Q) Would any change or addition be advisable in the treatment for the body since the last reading?
   (A) Only those that would make for the keeping of the building up of the body, and keeping the eliminations. These are only those that will make for the constant changes, or meeting the constant changes that come about in this body, [602].
7. (Q) Is there a disturbing condition at the back of the neck, causing headache?
   (A) More from the feet than from the back of the neck, though the feeling is at the base of the neck!
8. (Q) Is there a woman practitioner located at Freeport, N.Y., who would be interested in the treatment of this condition through the reading?
   (A) We don't find - it's kind of confusing with - We don't find it!
9. (Q) Is there anyone you would recommend to give this treatment properly?
   (A) Anyone that knows their business!
10. (Q) Any other advice or counsel for this body at this time?
    (A) We would keep in that way in the physical and the mental, the application of those things in the body, the mind, as to make for the constant development and building in those directions that have brought and do bring to the consciousness of the body that which is not only peace and harmony and contentment, but making the life the more worth while.
11. We are through.
    [EC awoke without suggestion being given to wake up.]
