TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, there are some improvements in the general conditions of this body. However, there are those infectious forces that cause a great deal of disturbance in the throat; making for the nervousness; and the infectious forces make for very poor digestion, a strain upon the blood stream, producing general poisons in the system.
3. We find that the osteopathic manipulations and the osteopathic methods for treating the tonsils and throat would gradually make for the dissolving or the losing of same; and would be the better conditions for the body in the present.
4. It is indicated that there has been material aid through the general osteopathic treatments, yet these drainages have not been set up wholly.
5. So we would use, NOW, rather the SPECIFIC treatments or specific applications in these directions.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Why does she have no appetite?
   (A) Poisons in system and the lack of proper assimilation. This is not to be derided, but rather to be met. Not by forced feeding or the like, but by the corrections necessary in the throat, in those areas indicated for the CORRECTING of the conditions so that there may be the normal reaction.
8. (Q) Is the general condition of her body better?
   (A) General conditions are better, as given.
   These things we would do. Not more of the osteopathic treatments in general, but more of a specific nature, see? Do that.
9. (Q) Then it would not be necessary to remove the tonsils?
   (A) We would remove them by the osteopathic method; or as Richardson.
10. (Q) Any other advice regarding the body at this time?
    (A) This, as we find, would be the mode, the means, the manner in which to make the better applications for this body.
11. We are through with this reading.
