1. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before. There are many changes in the physical forces in this body since last we had same here. There are still some effects of retraction in the physical forces of the body, especially as has to do with the effects of those properties acting in the form of a hypnotic to the body, and the local condition, with existent forces in the body, which has been brought about - in the attempt to become equalized or coordinated in the functioning, especially the organs of the sensory and sympathetic system are involved in same - the continual disturbances (coming and going; not remaining severe at all times) in the region of the vocal cords, the auditory nerves - as in vision; the head, neck, throat and upper bronchials. These then, as seen, are the effects of this retraction, aided and abetted, or ALREADY with the incentive from disturbances, as has been outlined aforetime for the body, in the dorsal (upper) and cervical region. These are after effects, as has been given, of old existent conditions in the physical forces of the body. While precaution should be taken as respecting these conditions, if there were proper precaution taken, there needs not be so much worry about these, for the system will adjust itself to these conditions, and the precautions properly taken will assist the system in bringing about the nearer normal forces for the system.

2. Then, we would apply a very low form of electrical forces to the system FOLLOWING manipulations for the body, especially of the upper dorsal and cervical regions, GIVEN osteopathically. Well that heat (wet heat) be applied to the body in the dorsal and cervical region before the manipulations are given, but the manipulations should be given while the body is still relaxed from the application of heat.

3. Well, too, that each evening small quantities of mutton suet with equal parts of spirits of camphor, sweet oil and

myrrh, be manipulated or massaged in the region of the thyroids and about the neck, the lower portion of jaw, between eyes and the nerves of the face. This will assist, with the other treatments, in reducing the condition and forming that which the system may throw off through absorption, or through the regular eliminating system. Hence the precaution.

4. Be careful that the body does not get the feet wet, nor is too much in drafts.

5. Beware of overloading the stomach, especially when tired.

6. The manipulations and the electrical vibrations, which may be given in ANY low form, whether the Violet Ray, the Red Ray, or the Ultra Violet Ray - but a very LOW form of same. There will be no necessity, with these, of operations; for the system may be made to ELIMINATE that which is as dross or ash in the system. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) Why do I sometimes suffer from skin eruptions and - (A) This same improper elimination, and - as is seen - it comes to the UPPER circulation, or to the lower circulation, showing there is not the proper collaboration and coordinating of eliminations in the system. Why? From that as has been given, retractions as have been set up in system through the action of hypnotics to the nerve system, under the stress as has existed in system. Body is doing well though, considering these conditions.

8. (Q) What should the diet be, if any? (A) Just beware of OVERLOADING the system. Not too much sweets, nor yet too much of the proteins. A well balanced diet is the better for the system; not running to the excess in either. Keep plenty of the one and two vitamins for the system. Equal balance between iron and potash, see? Iodine and Potash.

Do that, as has been given, and we will find the better conditions for this body. We are through for the present.
