TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body [2597] and those conditions as surround same. Many of these we have had before. Now, we find bettered conditions for the physical forces of the body, and for the present there needs be only care and attention as respecting same, being mindful that there are not given those things or conditions with the food values that would cause distresses or recurrences to set up in system. Then, following the ability of the body to store sufficient energy and recuperative forces to be up or about, we would advise - even as has been given - that at least three to four weeks be given to rest and recuperation for the body. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) What will relieve feeling of lump in throat?
   (A) That is the effect of the conditions as has produced the hindrance in the functioning of the glands, as regarding the distribution of forces in the system that as are assimilated. These come, as seen, from the ineffectiveness of assimilation. Hence, as we find, often in such condition an accumulation of various energies as go to make up different portions of the system. With this body's resuscitating forces, where were added more of the iodines in food and in application to the system through the vibratory forces in the Radio-Active Appliance carrying this in the system, taking of small quantities of same with iron and calcium [internally], we will find these conditions will be relieved.

4. (Q) What specific food should body eat, that he will want and be good for him?
   (A) Dependent upon the various developments of the condition. Under the present, keep that as is being administered, see? When the changes come for the body, and when the body is under different circumstances, then we would be better able to meet those conditions existent than now to try to tell what would happen in times to come!
5. (Q) When should he leave Hospital?
   (A) When able to walk and get out in air!
6. (Q) Which is best for full recuperation of body, northeast United States or Virginia Beach?
