TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. The physical conditions are on the improve, even from those when we last had same here. The resistance in the system is on the increase, and the vitams [vitamins] necessary for the better assimilation are exhibiting their affects in the system. Hence the effect of food values are apparent in the general system. While the congestion has made some irritation to the reaction of mental forces of body, the replenishing of the central portions in physical are on improve. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What is the condition of the blood at the present time?
   (A) This on the improve. Not as much of the drosses left in the blood stream as has been formerly. The blood count would show near the normal elements in both red and white blood. The heaviness in the circulation produced rather still by the imperfect coordination in lacteal ducts.
4. (Q) Will an electric pack over her liver, stomach and bowels help her digestion, or would a large electric blanket be better?
   (A) Pack over the liver and bowels, for we would with large blanket open the lymphatic and capillary circulation too much. Stimulation by the vibratory and electric forces will stimulate the excretory and secretive system and would prove beneficial, but do not use too much, using about once every three days.

   (A) No.
10. (Q) What kind of water should she drink, and should it be boiled?
    (A) Better that all water be boiled for children under twelve to thirteen years of age - better for this one - unless there is being taken some specific properties in mineral waters, see?
11. (Q) Should she have boiled or egg custard?
    (A) Small quantity very good, so long as it assimilates with system, provided those properties as are given to be taken care of in system are considered, their action with same, see? That is, do not give egg custard and potatoes of ANY character at the same time. Do not give egg custard and green vegetable forces at the same time, see?
12. (Q) Should she have butter in any form, or cheese?
    (A) In small quantities either are very good. Cheese preferably be cooked, or with egg.

    (A) All of these.
19. (Q) Should she have any meat now, such as tender chicken, beef or turkey, or a little breakfast bacon?
    (A) Breakfast bacon excellent for system, provided same is well cooked. Be well if it was cooked or browned crisp inside stove or oven, see? Small quantities of chicken or wild game or turkey; not of the fat beef - in the juice, not the meat itself, proper.
20. (Q) Should she have any turnip greens or collards?
    (A) No.
21. (Q) Should she have any cake in any form yet, and a biscuit occasionally?
    (A) Biscuit occasionally. Very, very little of any cakes.
22. (Q) Would taking the body to Arcadia, Florida, benefit same?
