TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. In many ways the reactions in the system are most satisfactory. In some, we find at times there are over strains, put in the physical forces of the body, without sufficient rest or recuperation for the whole system.
2. When the treatments are given, as manipulations over the system, we would RUB the body well - especially along the cerebro-spinal system - with those of pure olive oil; not too much, but let's FEED the muscular forces, and those of the segmentations as between each of the vertebrae, that we may have the proper reactions. Just dip FINGERS in the oil and massage thoroughly. Take time to do this, too! Don't hurry through with this. Massage it thoroughly in, as the treatments are given. This more into a rotary motion, and let the body rest at least two hours each day between all exercises. These, as we find, will be most helpful and beneficial to the system. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What can be done to develop his muscles?
   (A) Haven't we just given it to you? What do you want now?
4. (Q) What kind of exercise should body have?
   (A) The exercises are very good, through which the body has been given. Those of any of the outdoor exercises ARE good, you see - but do not overtax it. This can be overdone, as well as underdone; for remember, we are BUILDING in one that has been lacking much in the vitality necessary to build muscular forces in system. Hence the addition in the treatments, in the circulation, is to aid - for few oils there be that are as much food for the tissue and muscular forces of the body as of the olive oil. Salt rubs will be well for the body at times, followed with the oil rubs - which would be of the Russian oil, cut in alcohol - and those of the witchhazel for a strengthening following same. Give that about once each week. The pin showers, the salt rub - then the oil; but in each osteopathic treatment, massage the oil into the centers of the cerebro-spinal system, also into the joints of the limbs. We will see a change in the body.
5. (Q) Is diet correct?
   (A) This is very good. Not always satisfactory to the body, but if the exercises are properly taken, these will be better for the system.
6. (Q) Are treatments given properly?
   (A) We have changed treatments here. Do this, and THEN we will tell you whether it's being done properly or not! This will be a TREATMENT, and you'll have to take time to do this!
7. (Q) Should he have a quart of milk each day?
   (A) So long as it assimilates and agrees with the body, and the eliminations are kept, all the body can take - whether it's quart, or quart and a pint, or two quarts! All he will assimilate, just so you don't make it a burden on the system - but aiding the assimilations, this is the equalized food for the body. Eggs may be used, but don't give the white of the egg - just the yolk.
8. (Q) Milk raw or boiled?
   (A) Be well that it be heated at times, but this becomes necessary - that it should be the raw, if it is possible for assimilation with the system. This much better than the boiled.
9. (Q) Should we have orange juice?
   (A) This is well of mornings.
10. This is all for the present.
11. We are through with this reading.
