TEXT

1. EC: Yes - [1461] - We have the body here; this we have had before.
2. There are many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same. Some are for improvements.
3. But as we find the lesions that have been the cause of the disturbance have advanced. These as we find, now, while these may be materially AIDED, would require a LONG series of applications.
4. And these, unless there are changes in the very seeking or the activities of those responsible, would NOT be carried forward.
5. However, the activities of the body are somewhat improved.
6. If there will be kept, as we find, those corrections necessary - this as we find, with a LONG series, would bring help for the body.
7. (Q) Should these corrections be made osteopathically?
   (A) Not necessarily. They may be BETTER made neuropathically; but use the Oils, and the corrections when necessary.
8. (Q) What may be expected while watching developments, so as to encourage the carrying on of the treatments?
   (A) This depends upon so many things! It depends rather upon what the application is to be!
   As has been indicated, with such applications - though it would require a LONG series - there may be expected a gradual but very slow improvement.
9. (Q) What would the treatments be in the present?
   (A) As just indicated; the rubs that were first indicated, and the neuropathic treatments.
10. (Q) Should the Radio-Active Appliance be used now, as first given?
    (A) Not until there is set up sufficient of the activity in the system for this to become effective. This MIGHT become necessary, or beneficial, in three to six months from now; but not helpful in the immediate as we find.
11. (Q) Did the operation prove helpful?
    (A) Well, it hasn't YET! This will depend upon whether or not the advantage of same is taken. As we find, there are the indications that unless there IS the massage or rub we will find many of those areas - as in the knees and in the arms - will become stayed, set, stony.
12. (Q) What oils should be used in the rubs?
    (A) This has been given.
13. (Q) Would it be wise to send him to a school for crippled children, or will he be able to go to the regular schools?
    (A) This depends upon whether or not there is the intention of giving the opportunity for corrections. This can be BETTER handled in the home than it WOULD be in a school?
14. (Q) Just what advice as to his training?
    (A) This STILL depends upon what is to be accomplished, or set out to be accomplished, by those responsible for the child's welfare.
15. (Q) Any other advice that will be helpful?
    (A) Either do it or don't.
    But when begun be consistent and persistent, and if it's not going to be carried out fully, then don't begin.
16. We are through with this Reading.
