TEXT

1. EC: [2653] - we have the body here. This we have had before. Now, there are acute conditions to be sure, with the teeth. While this impaction, or impacted tooth, will cause - and does cause - trouble, the better manner will be to anaesthetize the body and remove this, for this has much to do with the nervous condition of the whole system.
2. But sufficient time and rest should be taken after such an operation, for the body to fully recuperate from same. The nervous, run-down condition, and the taxation to the body, are produced from this pressure, and when these are removed, give sufficient of the bromides to GENTLY allow the body to overcome much of the strain as will be produced ON same by this reaction of the anaesthesia that should be given for this removal. Remembering that the corrections as will be made, or should be made, along the whole of the cerebro-spinal system, will assist the body in gaining proper control over itself, aiding digestive forces - but the body should go at a little less pace, for the taxing of the body in such a manner as to burn the candle at both ends is not well.
3. Then, remove these - and have at least ten to fifteen osteopathic treatments and adjustments - beginning about five days after the operation. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 9/18/29 Mother [325]'s letter: "I am indeed sorry that I had to worry you with a special reading, but when [2653] cries I know something is very wrong, and he had a terrible butchered jaw. But he will go to another Dr. and have the tooth removed, as the reading advises - thanks so very much for the reading. I am enclosing the usual fee of $10 and I do hope soon that he will be able to help with your work financially. It seems very hard on the boy to get a start."
2. 10/04/29 Mother's letter: "[2653]'s mouth is just healing - could not have tooth taken out as his Dr. could not handle it."
3. 12/30/29 EC's ltr. to [2653]:
   Just to thank you for remembering me at Christmas time. Appreciation of the kindly thought makes life more worth while, to know that we are remembered by those we think so much of.
   Thanks, Old Man! I hope to see you soon.
   EC
