TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are acute conditions that have arisen.
4. The sooner there is the operation for the appendix the better it will be.
5. The corrections there should rid the system of the greater amount of poisons and of the inflammation produced through the abdominal area.
6. After recuperation begins there will be the necessity of administering vitamins especially of the B complex nature to bring about better blood supply.
7. These we would do.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Should the tonsils be removed?
   (A) If this is in keeping with the wishes of those making the corrections, very well. It is not necessary, though for the correction of poisons should set up better drainages. But while these are in operation, it is very well that these be attempted to attend to if desired by the body and those responsible.
10. (Q) What is condition of tonsils now?
    (A) Irritated from the poisons that have naturally been thrown into the system by the disturbances through the appendix area.
11. (Q) Is the body in good enough condition to go through either or both operations at present?
    (A) As indicated - well, it's a necessity.
12. (Q) Who would you suggest to perform the operation?
    (A) Whoever is desired. Just someone who knows his business. But it's not a serious operation, unless there's an accident.
13. (Q) What precautions should be taken to prevent aftereffects?
    (A) As just given, take the necessary precautions - just so he doesn't bungle it.
14. We are through with this reading.
