TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [1001]. Here we find DECIDED changes for the betterment of the conditions in the body. There are those conditions still existent, as must be at times - until the pressure is entirely relieved through the 1st and 2nd cervical, which start as from the radial plexus of those of the 11th and 12th dorsal, that must bring about those contractions that cause distress; but these, as we find, will get farther and farther apart, will there be held by the body itself those conditions as has been outlined, and with the application as respecting others, those conditions as will be desired to be created for self be applied as respecting others, and keeping those of the treatments as has been outlined, these should continue - and without other conditions not apparent - these should bring for the body a near NORMAL condition. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) When may body expect a cessation of attacks?
   (A) When those pressures in the upper cervical and in the 11th and 12th dorsal are entirely eliminated. There is seen at times, that those contractions in the dorsal and cervical region, apparently at times come from stomach; at others from genitive system; at others from purely imaginative forces. These all of the coordination between sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, and by the continued reactions as may be brought about by the manipulations, by the vibrations, by those forces as are set up in system, create a normal equilibrium. Hence the activities of the mental forces of the body, and the applications to self and to others, plays such an important part in the conditions as exist in system, and will AFFECT the system - as regarding the cessation, or as regarding the activity of those conditions that bring about or CAUSE the attacks.
3. (Q) What can be done to allay attack once it has started?
   (A) Place a piece of ice at base of brain and it will stop immediately.
4. (Q) Is the body cooperating in every way for its own good?
   (A) It's just begun properly TO cooperate!
5. (Q) Are all treatments given properly?
   (A) They are very good.
6. (Q) How long before body could continue treatments at home to advantage?
   (A) When there is a greater cessation between the periods, or attacks.
7. (Q) In what way may body be of most benefit to others?
   (A) This would be as of SCHOOLING self, but would be well for the body. In little things, in little favors, in little kindnesses, in little deeds, that takes thought, time, and action. No matter who, where, or when, just take time to give the other fellow a thought, as to what his needs are; also assisting same to be accomplished in the mental being of the body. It doesn't mean GIVING things, but in the application of a thought expressed, of a deed that will make for a FAVOR, a kindness, and kind words spoken. Such may accomplish for the body more than all the TREATMENTS, will it be carried forward.
8. That is all the questions regarding this body.
9. We are through with this reading.
