TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1958], this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is there a glandular condition resulting from whooping cough?
   (A) The glands need to be cleared. Give the body one drop of Atomidine in water before the morning meal for two days in succession each week, for four or five weeks. Just two days a week, but let those days be together, you see.
5. (Q) What causes the hoarseness?
   (A) This is the natural tendency, and comes with such activities of the body. This will clear up if there is a gentle massage, or the use of the electrically driven vibrator, through the neck and shoulder centers.
6. (Q) Are the teeth all right or should there be local care?
   (A) In another five to six months, they'll need some local care.
7. (Q) What causes the body to bite her fingernails? What will correct this?
   (A) Lack of calcium in the body. Give the body CALCIOS about twice a week, and this will clear up. (Eat a whole wheat cracker thinly spread with Calcios, about twice a week, preferably at the noon meal, - say Tuesdays and Fridays.)
8. (Q) Does the body have worms?
   (A) If it didn't it would be in a bad fix! but these are not abnormal or out of the ordinary for the general conditions of the developing body in the present.
9. (Q) What can be done to increase the appetite?
   (A) The activities as just indicated through the taking of the Atomidine two days in succession each week, and the Calcios two days a week but not at opposite days of the week, should correct much of the appetite.
10. (Q) Should extra vitamins be given?
    (A) Not in the present, might be a little later - along in November or December, and then through January and February - give the A and D.
11. (Q) What will immune the body against Infantile Paralysis?
    (A) Nothing will immune the body if it comes in contact with the conditions, but the extra quantity of iodine (as in the Atomidine, which is atomic iodine) should keep the glands purified so that the body may be in a better condition to be immune.
12. (Q) Will anything immune the body against Scarlet Fever and the Common Cold?
    (A) Of course, there might be the injection of the dead cells of these, but - as we find - the preventative is worse than the condition itself, for this particular body.
13. (Q) Would it be well to vaccinate the body for Smallpox now or wait until next Spring?
    (A) Don't do it while the blood is in its present condition. You might do it after the body has been taking the Atomidine and the Calcios for at least a month or six weeks, and then it would be in a good fix for vaccination.
14. (Q) Does the body get enough rest?
    (A) This is very good.
15. (Q) Is the eyesight and hearing normal?
    (A) Normal.
16. (Q) Is the body too young to take pre-school age lessons on the piano? What age is best to begin this training?
    (A) Not if it will take them! There has to be the inclination from the body, desiring or wanting such, before it would be worth anything! You can't just make the body take it and be worth very much. If there is the desire, from the time they can know that they would like it, it is time to begin.
17. (Q) Can anything be done to keep the natural curl in the hair?
    (A) As indicated, there has been given through this channel a formula that will cause the curl to stay in the hair. Use that. [289-1, Par. 11-A. Mr. [289] was [1958]'s grandfather.]
18. (Q) Would it curl better if the hair were cut a little shorter?
    (A) No.
19. (Q) Give any advice regarding the glandular development, or sex.
    (A) As indicated, keep the glandular system clear.
20. (Q) Regarding the training: Will it break the will to give the body a switching after trying to reason with no result, or should she be ignored and left alone after trying to reason? What form of punishment will be most effective with this body, when reason fails?
    (A) Switching will be the most effective.
21. (Q) And will not break the will?
    (A) You won't break the will of this body much! She may do some switching herself later, but then if it is controlled properly, it will be the better way.
22. (Q) Any other advice regarding this body?
    (A) Do increase the spiritual attributes and purposes for the body and for its environs.
23. We are through for the present.
