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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2084].
3. As we find, the general conditions are on the improve; or they change according to the systematic manner of applying those things suggested, or they are disturbed by the leaving off of same.
4. As to the regularities, - we would follow those instructions that have been indicated.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What should the dose of Atomidine now be, how often and on what days?
   (A) Disregard now ALL of those former instructions respecting this. Take one drop before the morning meal on Monday and Tuesday. Then leave off until Friday. Take one drop on Friday. Begin again Monday and Tuesday, and so on. Do this for three weeks, see? Then leave off for three weeks, and then repeat it in the manner given.
   There may be questions as to why certain days. There is a vibratory rate of each individual entity. All properties given as medicinal or active influences upon the circulation or the glandular system respond to those vibrations. Those vibrations, for this particular body, change Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays. Meet them, for this body, on those days.
7. (Q) What should the dose of Artichoke now be, how often and on what days?
   (A) Once a week take an artichoke, this - for this body - on Thursdays; one not larger than a hen egg; preferably cooked in its OWN jacket and the juices from same mixed with it when prepared to be eaten.
8. (Q) A previous Rdg. recommended that artichokes be stored in earth. Should earth be moist or dry and should it be cool or warm, as indoors?
   (A) Just so it is stored in earth. Do not keep it too moist, but keep sufficiently dry that the artichoke is preserved. See, the vibration of this particular type of artichoke is insulin. Earth's forces keep it in its normal state. It may be buried indoors, but it would have to be kept near to normal temperature; else we would take much of the properties from the vegetable.
9. (Q) What should the dose of Watermelon Seed Tea now be, how often and on what days?
   (A) Take this ONLY when there is the need for its active principle to work or act upon the kidneys. Whether requiring that it be taken two or three days each week, or two or three days a month, would depend upon the activity. The quantity now would be a pint of boiling water poured over a teaspoonful of the crushed seed and allowed to steep as tea, and this amount taken over a period of one or two days; though it may require that half be taken one day and half the next day.
10. (Q) In a previous Rdg. it was recommended that osteopathic treatments be tapered off by increasing the space between treatments. Are they properly spaced now, or should they be further apart?
    (A) In the present they are about properly spaced. Keep these up for the time being, or especially through the winter season, see?
11. (Q) Are her eyes showing improvement?
    (A) Decided improvement.
12. (Q) What probably caused her menstrual period to be so late last month?
    (A) The irregularity as we find has been owing to the general conditions and the upsetting from the inflammation produced in the caecum area. This is not to be too disturbing. For, if the adjustments osteopathically are properly made, there should be a regulating of this now.
13. (Q) Does her general condition indicate betterment?
    (A) It has just been indicated that the general conditions show improvements.
14. (Q) Should she have any further treatment than she is now receiving?
    (A) Follow these in the manner outlined, and these as we find should be sufficient.
15. (Q) Less often, she has roving pains from around hip and appendix area upward and across to the heart area. Are these caused as before? Is there any indication of trouble about the heart?
    (A) No; this is more a sympathetic condition, and from that of being, at some times, too much petted.
16. (Q) What caused the peeling of skin on the soles of her feet, sides of heels and ankles, and what should be done about it?
    (A) The adjustments and the general treatments should take care of these. Bathe them occasionally in weak coffee made from old coffee grounds; coffee that has been used, see? Save the old coffee grounds, not until they are soured, but boil and then bathe the feet and lower limbs in same; massaging them with same. Use about a teacup of coffee grounds to half a gallon of water, see? It is the tannic forces from these that has the beneficial effect.
    And keep the mental attitude so that there is not too much shielding the body, but give it responsibilities and it will respond better.
17. We are through with this reading.
