TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1461]; this we have had before. In some respects there are changes for the better. In the differences as have arisen in the body since last we had same, these conditions - and their changes that are brought about - taken in the proper way, may be made beneficial to the system; for, as has been seen and given, there are incoordinations as have had to do with the stabilization of the muscular and the sinews of the body. In bringing about the eliminations as are necessary for the recuperative forces for the body, keep the body more alkalin in its alimentary canal for elimination; using small doses of Glyco-Thymoline - two to three drops twice to three times each day. This may be given in water or in milk.
2. We would also use plain kerosene as a rub for the throat and the spine. This will also ease and aid in eliminations.
3. We would not be too severe or too often worry the developing body with the vibrations as are being set up, but wait until the conditions are somewhat improved in the system.
4. In the diet, keep those of the easily digested foods, or the pre-digested, and we will find that by the rubbing, by the taking and keeping of the alkalin forces in system, we will cleanse this system and produce better assimilations for the body. Do that. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should the kerosene be rubbed more than once a day?
   (A) Twice a day will not be too much to rub over the whole of the throat, chest, and along the whole of the spinal column; not too much, as to cause irritation, but gentle rubbing until the system ABSORBS same - not just dabbing, but not too HARSH a rubbing as to produce too great an irritation; but the assimilating of the oil and the active principles in this will release the tissue and the phlegm in throat, and relieve that strain in soft tissue in throat, lungs, and aid the system in elimination.
6. (Q) Any suggestions regarding diet?
   (A) As given. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 10/19/37 Mrs. [413] was present for the third reading for [1461], saying:
   "The reading was followed about two weeks at first, while his mother stayed with him in my home. When she took him back home he had whooping cough and pneumonia and the treatment was dropped, as she did not have the cooperation of her family. The child is now nine years old. He was operated on recently by Dr. Foy Vann to straighten hips, knees and ankles and make them grow straight. He is paralyzed but his mind is bright; he is able to talk and to get about in a wheel chair."
   Questions:
   1. Is there any chance of removing the pressure on the brain now, after so long standing? 2. What may be expected while watching developments, so as to encourage the carrying on of the treatments? 3. Did the operation prove helpful? or will it be helpful or a hindrance to his progress? 4. Would it be wise to send him to a school for crippled children, or will he be able to go to the regular schools? 5. Just what advice as to his training?
2. 10/19/37 See 1461-3.
