TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, as we find, the CONDITIONS are much improved in the physical forces of the body. While there is the accentuation in some respects of disorders as have troubled the body in the kidney area, these - with the stupes - are BEING eliminated, and would PROVE much BETTER for the body, that WITH the stupes, WITH the drainages set up, not too much activity of the body, but sufficient to keep a normal reaction would be much BETTER than would be with the exercising of the conditions under the knife; UNLESS the condition becomes acute by over strain, or by some other counter-irritant TO the kidneys, or the area themselves, these may be reduced in the way and manner as has been outlined. Unless the fever gets very high, or there is a sudden reduction in the blood COUNT, we would keep as has been outlined. Should there be indications that disintegration, or that the blood count is suddenly below normal, we would operate immediately! Otherwise, we would keep that as has been outlined. Do that.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Will he be able to go back to school in September?
   (A) Let's attend to conditions now, and wait until September and see whether he goes to school or not! If the conditions are carried OUT, and the proper PRECAUTIONS are taken, the body should be near NORMAL by the 15th or 16th of September.
4. We are through with this reading.
