TEXT

1. GD: 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, [1309]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same. These, however, are not because of the application of those things suggested; only as a very small part of same.
4. Those conditions as related to the auditory forces, and the organs of the sensory system, will be materially aided, as we find, by the corrections made in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area; if these will be made osteopathically, in the manner as we have indicated, - provided the body will take the head and neck exercise night and morning AFTER such have been begun - that is, after the osteopathic corrections have been begun, see?
5. We find that these will also be very helpful to the body as related to eliminations, and as to assimilation; and the fat that is disturbing to the body, especially in producing the shortness of breath, owing to that about the abdominal area and the pressures as produced upon the whole of the hepatic circulation at times, upsetting the lower hepatic circulation, and causing great excesses of the uric acid that produces disturbing factors through pressures in the muscular forces at times:
6. Take Grape Juice four times each day; one ounce of plain water and three ounces of grape juice, taken half an hour before each meal and upon retiring. Then in the matter of the diet, it will almost care for itself; and take those things the appetite calls for, save sweets, chocolate or the like; not great quantities of sugars, nor of pastries; but all other foods, vegetables or meats, provided they are not fats, may be taken according to the appetite; but we will find the appetite will change a great deal.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Should any of the other treatment given in the first Reading be followed now?
   (A) Of course, the low vibrations of the Radio-Active Appliance are helpful. This will enable the body to sleep, but it is better that it not stay on too long. An hour should be sufficient, but take it at the period when ready to retire.
9. (Q) Would it be preferable to go to Dr. Dobbins?
   (A) Not necessarily, unless desirable; though Dr. Dobbins is more of a specialist upon the organs of the sensory system.
10. (Q) Would Dr. Schoelles' treatments answer the purpose?
    (A) If he will give those corrections in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical, and the body will begin then each morning to take the head and neck exercise, as this: In the beginning, to be sure, sit down, or be close to a bed, for it will make dizziness in the beginning. Sitting erect, stretch arms straight out from the body. Then bow the head (not the body, but the neck) as far forward as possible, slowly, three times. Then just as far back as possible three times, slowly, not quickly or jerky. Then to either side, right and left, three times. Then rest a moment or two, with the hands down. Then hold the hands erect again, stretched directly from the body, and circle the body, see? the waist movement is that desired, with the arms moving around - as it were - as far as possible. Then circle the head and neck, first to the right, then to the left, three times.
11. (Q) Can hearing be restored to normal?
    (A) Be restored at least thirty-three percent.
12. (Q) How long would it take?
    (A) How long is tomorrow? How long before she will begin? How long will she keep these up? As long as she has before, or better?
    This depends upon the sincerity of application and the EXPECTANCY of the body.
    Keep the attitudes of expectancy, - not merely for use but for helpfulness.
13. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 5/03/40 Letter from Mrs. [1158] to GD: "...Can you inquire how much the Finger Surgery Dr. in Norfolk charges for treatments? (Mrs. [1309] may come down to him for her 2 finger surgery treatments. She has started with Schoelles and is very happy about his work)..."
2. 5/15/40 Letter from GD to Mrs. [1158]: "...P.S. Mrs. [...], Dr. Richardson says he cannot perform the finger surgery unless he has the case [1309] from the beginning or understands the whole case very thoroughly. Perhaps he would do it if you'd have Dr. Schoelles write him full particulars as to the treatments up to the point of the operation, etc. I couldn't get any favorable comment out of him in regard to it, but I think if Dr. Schoelles wrote him it would be different." Love.
3. 5/29/40 Letter from Mr. [1151] to HLC: "...Also Mrs. [1309] would like a Check Reading concerning her ear trouble. Won't you write me what day you most conveniently can arrange for this?..."
4. 5/31/40 Mrs. [1309] submitted questions, saying: "I started my treatments April 30th and often wondered why I went thru such torture, my old bones were like the hinges of an old barn door that had not been used for years, and how they did crack and hurt, but my reward is great. I feel so well - have no aches as I used to.
   "There is a very slight improvement in my hearing. I can hear the clock tick by holding to my ear. First the right ear and the other night my left ear showed signs of waking up. Now, isn't that good news? Today I had my first finger surgery, now I am starting on one treatment a week for another four weeks.
   "I am really proud of my record, I've been so faithful to everything with the exception of forgetting the grape juice very often."
5. 6/04/40 See 1309-3.
