TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. There are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body, [1688], since last we had same here. Some are not so good. Some are keeping well in hand those conditions that have been indicated.
4. But there is more upsetting in the nerve forces of the body. This as we find comes from lack of the resistances.
5. We find that:
6. There needs to be in the present more of the RELAXING osteopathic treatments to allow those energies to be properly distributed. There should not be any stimulating, but rather a relaxing. This would be the better for the body. These we would have done in the present by Irvin. Have at least two series, and take six to ten in each series.
7. Then, AS these are begun, be mindful that plenty of the vital energies are builded in the body to overcome these weaknesses. Use the vitamins that are the combination of ALL those needed for body sustenance. These for this body would be the better. But take only one of the capsules for the first two or three days, see? Use those that are prepared in the capsule form by the Vick Company, see?
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the trouble with my eyes and how can they be helped?
   (A) This comes from the general weakness, and will be materially aided by the relaxing treatments for the neck and head, see? Then, after these two series of adjustments (not before), there will need to be some corrections for the glasses.
10. (Q) Is there any obstruction in any part of the intestines? I cannot get results either from medicine or irrigation. There is a continuous unrest in them.
    (A) As we find, this is more of nerves than of obstructions, see? With the relaxings as should be given, these conditions as we find will be improved. We find that there would be more response with the irrigation, though have these professionally given - with a gentle massage or rub, or a kneading - but not too severely - of the abdominal muscles, when these irrigations are given; and have them about once a week. This does not mean the osteopathic massage, but the massage as given by the hydrotherapist when the colonics are given, see?
11. (Q) What is trouble with my left ear? It rings constantly and feels as though it has something in it.
    (A) Those pressures in the cervical and upper dorsal, that should be relieved by those relaxing treatments. These are nerves, see?
12. (Q) What is cause of constant hurting in lower back and under shoulders?
    (A) Weakness and nervousness.
13. (Q) What is cause of creaking joints?
    (A) Lack of proper circulation, or - as might be termed - it needs oiling up; that is, more of a lymph circulation. Hence those vital energies as given, of the vital forces to act with body functioning.
14. (Q) What is cause of my throat filling with a black mucous?
    (A) The inhalation of those properties about where the body works. But with the gargling each evening and morning with Glyco-Thymoline, this will aid, and if a little of it is swallowed it will not hurt.
15. (Q) Are yeast cakes good for my system?
    (A) Do not use these during the time colonics are being taken. As we find, the vitamins should take the place of these.
16. (Q) Is there anything that can be done to make a bunion less painful?
    (A) Massage same with Castor Oil, and occasionally - though not every night, about twice a week - mix baking soda with same. This will make it very tender, but - with the other massage - will remove the causes of it.
17. (Q) Please recommend dentist.
    (A) This choose for one's self.
18. (Q) (Left out of original copy) Please tell me the fault within myself of not getting along with my family and some people, and how may I correct this? I don't seem to be able to do anything about this condition, no matter what I do.
    (A) This would necessitate a continuing of many of those suggestions that have been outlined at times for the entity [See 1688-6, her Life Reading]. Remember, - these are as the unchangeable laws:
    As ye mete to others, it comes back to thee. As ye would that others should do to thee, do ye even so to them.
    This applies whether in family or in just acquaintance, or associates of any kind.
    Know that the fault ye find in others is a reflection of a fault in thyself. Be to others just as you would have others be to thee, and ye will remove much of that.
    DO NOT hold the idea, "Well, I know what they are going to say or do, but I'll do as best I can." Disregard that! KNOW the spirit with which YE do a thing is the spirit that will respond to thee!
19. We are through with this Reading.
