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 he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now in conjunction with those things which have been formerly indicated for greater corrective measures to the general building up of the vital forces of the body, - through the better assimilation as well as the ability for the eliminations in nominal way:
4. We find there has arisen (as well as these never having been fully corrected) the acute condition regarding what may be termed by some the scavengers of the body, - the tonsils.
5. These as we find (the tonsils) need NOT have the operative measures through the knife, IF there will be set up proper drainages through the activities of the osteopathic measures to make for special activity to the tonsils and the thyroids, as well as setting up better drainages through the general eliminating system.
6. With such measures taken, we would find better conditions would ensue for this body; and the body's blood supply is NOT in such a condition that operative measures by the knife would be other than harmful to the body at this present time.
7. Then, we would have such as Green or Dobbins, or such an one as these, make such corrections as necessary in the tonsil area.
8. Do that, then; but be mindful of the body-building influences and forces, as we will thus make for the improvement of the general health and vitality of the system.
9. If we would take a tonic such as Codiron, three tablets each day, - these taken at meal time, - we will find we will make for greater improvement in the general health of the body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 3/25/39 Letter: "I am to have my tonsils removed, surgically, this Wed. noon; but before I take the big step I thought I'd run to you...perhaps I can withhold the doctor's knife, until YOU show me the way, so that I can have the operation or not, as the reading indicates."
