TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [653]; this we have had before. Much improvements do we find in the general physical conditions of the body since last we had same. While there is continued irritation in the circulation, and an incoordination between the eliminating channels of the system, these conditions would disappear if there would be precautions respecting the body's diet; so that there is the stimulation for the general elimination through the alimentary canal, and to make for less and less acidity in the blood supply. Then the irritations and rashes that have disturbed the body, those conditions in the limbs and the tendencies for cold and congestion that have previously disturbed will disappear.
2. Make the diet consist more and more of the alkalin reacting foods for the body; bewaring of too much sweets, too much fats as fats - but more of the strengthening and body- building foods. Have at least one meal each day, whether noon or evening, of raw vegetables. These may be eaten as a salad with a dressing if preferable to make same more palatable for the body. Ready for questions.
3. These will be found to be most beneficial.
4. When it becomes necessary for keeping the eliminations through the alimentary canal, it will be found that the use of those properties known as the Crazy Crystals will be most beneficial. Keep these as an eliminant by taking before the meals in hot water; they will be most helpful to the body.
5. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 1/23/35 Mother's ltr.: "[653] has been in Selma visiting Mother [979] for 4 wks. I let her go thinking the change would do her good and perhaps her nerves would get better. I am very much worried about her too; ever since the accident several years ago she has been going through it at night every little while. She screams and yells to turn the wheel and jumps right out of bed and when I try to hold her or wake her she beats me most to death sometimes, she is so strong. She wrote a few days ago that she most frightened a girl friend to death the other night, she was spending the night at this girl's house and in the night she screamed and jumped out of bed, sat down on the floor and held onto the bedpost as tight as she could and it was a long time before they could get her awake, and she fights so. I'm afraid she will lose her mind. While I was so weak and sick she had so many spells and kept me awake so, as she sleeps with me and she beat me so. When she comes back home will you please give her a rdg. and tell me what to do for her. I did all the things you told me to do before and she got better for a while, but now seems to be getting worse and her face is a sight, it is so broken out."
2. 2/08/35 Mother's ltr.: "[653] is back now. Her little vacation seemed to help her, but she isn't right somehow. Her monthly periods are very irregular, some months she doesn't menstruate at all and some times she menstruates for 2 wks. at a time but very little each day, and ever since she has been back she has complained of a pain in the left side of her back just below the waist, sort of a crick or catch. And she says she still has those spells at night [when she relives the accident]."
3. 3/06/35 Mother's ltr.: "Last month she was in bed for 3 days with a crick in her back and was very sick at her stomach."
4. 3/12/35 See 653-3.
