TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [5655] this we have had before. Now, we find the general conditions are greatly improved with this body. The conditions in the tendons and in the nerve system show a near alignment, as well as being strengthened sufficiently to take hold, as it were, in a normal way and manner.
2. As we find, the exercises of the body may be increased. It would be well, however, with such - if the exercises require any lifting or extraordinary moving of the muscles of the lumbar and sacral region - that either a heavy belt or bandage be worn during such periods, and that there should be the occasional general manipulation, especially in the sacral, lumbar and lower dorsal regions, with an application of the plain violet ray over same. This will aid in keeping the tendons and muscular forces in their proper associations or relations, and enable the body to gain faster its strength, and the adaptability of the body to the activities in the physical sense.
3. In keeping the body-building forces, well that there be kept rather the normalcy in those activities in the diet, that this be well balanced in all the building forces - and rather in accord with the physical exertions or physical activities of the body.
4. Be well to add occasionally, too, after the meals - for proper digestion - those vitamins that may be found in the concentrated tablets of the cod liver oil, which is compiled or made by the Pure Food Products Company. THESE will be effective in creating the proper assimilation, and giving the general strength, vitality and virility necessary for the developing forces of the body - [5655].
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Does it hurt the limb for the body to work occasionally?
   (A) Rather beneficial, provided strains or heavy lifting is not engaged in.
7. (Q) Describe the kind of belt or support I should have?
   (A) Any broad heavy band, made so that it may be made tight - or as laced about the body, either just by folds or that which may be buckled on heavily. Preferably of cloth, that conforms to the necessary movements of the body - but that HOLDS the lower portion; that is, the sacral and lower lumbar regions, in alignment.
8. (Q) What can I do to pick up in weight?
   (A) Do that as has been outlined!
9. (Q) If the body continues treatments regularly, how long before the limb will be normal?
   (A) This will be a matter of normal development, and would be two, three, four months before perfectly NORMAL - but should not hinder the body from going on with its labors. The taking of the treatments once a week SHOULD be sufficient, unless some EMERGENCY arises.
10. That is all the questions regarding this body.
11. We are through with this reading.
