TEXT

1. EC: Yes. [773]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, while great changes have come about in the body since last we had same here, the acute or specific conditions in the eye ARE being WELL cared for.
3. From present indications, there should not be ANY bad results or effects, either to the vision or to the appearance of same.
4. There's just the necessity, then, for precautions as to infectious forces from the natural accumulations of tissue - that may be said to be repair tissue in the system; and that there be no cold or congestion allowed to make for disturbing conditions in the body.
5. Thus we should find that in just a few weeks there should be near normalcy in these directions.
6. In the GENERAL physical forces, as we have indicated, there have been those tendencies for the lack of sufficient red blood cellular force; or a tendency towards anemia; yet these conditions have in a greater part been met - through those recent activities of the body in the open.
7. We would, then, continue only those things that are indicated for keeping a nominal balance in the present; as much in the open or in the sunshine as plausible or possible, and keeping the diets in that manner of body and blood building - as is indicated, and as has been outlined. Thus the body should grow, develop, in a normal, nominal manner.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the extent of the injury to the eye?
   (A) As indicated, from the manner in which it has been cared for, this should not extend to ANY injury that would be even noticeable - after a normal development. The injury was to the iris portion that makes for its association with the cornea, in such a manner that this has only been punctured in the first and second film. Hence, unless other conditions arise than are indicated in the present, it should not make for even ANY injury.
10. (Q) Should the iron be continued occasionally for the blood?
    (A) As indicated, this is well. And a good manner that should make for same, after a little assistance by being rather insistent, would be through adding the iron also that is contained in whole crushed wheat. This does not need to be cooked too long, but sufficient to break the cells; for in same you will find those vitamins that create the iron replenishing, that are well-balanced in same.
11. (Q) Should a child his age be forbidden the use of such instruments as the scissors for play purposes?
    (A) RATHER should there be the WARNINGS and the NATURAL consequences of injury, or accidents; for these become a portion of all experiences. As in this, we find that it may be termed a lesson - or a reason for same that would be further-reaching than mere accident. Yet to the individual body it is an accident, see? To those conditions that surround the whole of same, it is a general plan - as may be said - for that to build constructive influences in the experiences of not only the body itself but those about same.
    DO NOT let experiences make for hardening against associations, but USE each as a stepping-stone. Do not harden the mind of the body, as to this being brought by any influence other than that which if used correctly by all is beneficial.
12. We are through with this reading.
