TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [773]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there is much to be desired outwardly; yet the general physical reactions that are taking place are very good. There are improvements in many directions.
3. And there should be some precautions taken in adding to the enzymes of the body. As we find, given under the directions of a physician, VENTRICULIN WITH IRON would provide much that would aid in the katabolism of the digestive and assimilating forces, and that would strengthen the blood supply for better reserve and better reaction through the physical forces of the body.
4. In those conditions with the localized disturbance in the eye, we find that the manipulative measures have been most beneficial. We would continue with these once or twice a week, or once a week for one week and twice a week the next week; so that there are the drainages continuing to be set up. For as indicated by the discharge, the drainages or accumulations are continuing to be thrown off - and will be absorbed if there is kept the proper MANNER of circulation through the way in which the manipulative forces may not only aid in the drainage but in stimulating the circulation to the affected parts.
5. When in strong light there should be used, to be sure, the glasses that would shade or protect the eye; or BOTH eyes for that matter. Either the smoked or the rose glass would be preferable to brown or other shades.
6. These as we find, though, followed along those lines as indicated here - and as have been given - will make for bringing about nominal, normal development for the body.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What has really taken place since the accident?
   (A) As indicated, there has been the attempt to meet the emergencies; the attempt of the system to absorb those portions that overlap and the necessary coagulating centers or areas produced BY the stitching and the incision in a portion of the retinae itself.
9. (Q) Has the lens been injured at all?
   (A) If there is the proper care in the manner as indicated, the injury that has been shown should adjust itself.
   Remember, and consider that which has been told and IS existent: The BODY RENEWS ITSELF continually! Then, set that in order in which the renewing of all tissue may be done in order - and in a manner as to RESUSCITATE injured portions!
10. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 3/29/36 Letter from [773]'s father: "...[773] could see at least six feet today in the injured eye and even though he had the drops in it. Dobbins is thrilled over it. Let's hope it keeps on. What do the treatments that you suggest do to the body - it is said to be dried pigs' stomach - by Dobbins. Do you know anything about it at all? Write me on it as I want to begin on it..."
