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 which she submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [1628].
3. As we find, there are great improvements in the general physical forces of this body. There are a great deal better conditions in the blood supply as related to the balance in the red and white corpuscles. This has naturally made an improvement in the regularity of the heart's activity.
4. Those inclinations that at times still arise, for periods of flushes, and the feeling of anxiety through the pulsations, as well as sometimes the digestive system, - when inclinations for the poor eliminations still cause some disturbance, - these are the natural inclinations for the body to revert to the conditions that once existed in relationships to these.
5. Then, as we find, we would keep rather the regular, normal activities.
6. And occasionally - when there is the feeling of some depression, or the reactions that cause same - we would have the general osteopathic manipulations for keeping up the drainages through the system; and thus we would make for the keeping of bettered conditions. As to how often these should be given, - say, in the present we would have about two or three taken regularly - that is, every other day until two, three, four are taken - until the system has started to react to not only such manipulations but to the other properties which we will indicate here to be taken; and then they may be taken one or two every two or three weeks apart, to KEEP the system in general in a TONED condition, see?
7. The eliminations may be greatly improved with the taking of those properties in the diet that tend not so much toward roughage (as Bran, or the like), but Psyllium would be very well to be occasionally taken (the Blond Psyllium, preferably). Not regularly, but occasionally - especially at the periods when the general osteopathic manipulations are given, you see; to form not only sufficient of the weight through the alimentary canal but to supply the effluvium necessary for the stimulating of peristaltic movement through the alimentary canal. This would be taken more at those periods following the general osteopathic manipulations, for STIMULATING the drainages, you see; which would be then a teaspoonful in hot water allowed to jell, and this taken with or at the meal, once or twice a day for a period of two or three days at the time, see?
8. Doing these, as we find we should keep near to normal influences and forces for this body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What causes me to be bothered with constipation?
    (A) As indicated, this lack of activity or peristaltic movement of fecal forces through the colon, - the tendency for some little inflammatory forces. This is the reverting to former disturbances; hence the better stimulating through the general osteopathic manipulation AND the form of the foods as would be taken.
    Eat plenty of the pie plant, and plenty of those foods such as figs and the like, see? These are well for the system.
11. (Q) Would it be advisable for me to have children within the next two years?
    (A) The body is in such a condition that it would be really beneficial to the body!
12. (Q) There is still a slight swelling in my feet. What should I do to eliminate this condition?
    (A) If the eliminations are bettered, and there is the stimulating of the activities of drainages not only for the upper portion of the alimentary canal but for the kidneys also, we will relieve these disturbances.
    Occasionally keep up the Calcios also, see, - this will aid in making for the better influences and forces in the activity of the lower hepatic circulation.
    Do these, and we will keep better conditions for this body.
13. We are through with this Reading.
