1. EC: We have the body and those conditions respecting same, [146], present in this room - this we have had before.
2. Now, we find conditions are still on the improve. While there has not been as quick response in the applications, as has been or might be expected, still - with the manner, with the changes, and with the conditions - there is more improvement than is apparent externally, and - as conditions develop, as the body develops, as changes are brought about - unless there arise other conditions or outside influences - we will see that the conditions will continue to improve.
3. We would keep those properties that will aid in the abating of stresses in the nerve system, that give the nerve energy that is necessary.
4. Keep the mental and physical body active, and in the open as much as possible - especially as the weather and the changes come about - that the body may be in the open.
5. Rest from the manipulative forces in the present for at least fifty-six days. Then we would have another THOROUGH course of these, and following the line or manner of correction in the cerebrospinal system that may be GIVEN then. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Have the osteopathic treatments been given correctly during the last period? (A) These have been very good; not as accurate in the following of the suggestions as might have been, but very, very, good. We would discontinue these in the present. No more for fifty-six days - see?
7. (Q) If we rest until autumn - (A) (Interrupting) Now fifty-six days has been given! Don't say autumn when fifty-six days is a long way from autumn! for there are changes that take place in the system, especially as reactions set in; for with the mental being kept busy, with the physical being kept active, with the giving of those properties as are and have been suggested for the keeping of the nerve forces in the body in

accord, THEN we will find that in the fifty-six days there will be the NECESSITY - for the BETTERMENT - Of course it may be left until fall, or it may be left for a year, but for the BETTERMENT of the conditions some corrections will be necessary from the reactions that will have been started. These will need to be in the system where the changes come about, see? We wouldn't give those now. We would give those then, because there will be changes.
8. (Q) Shall we continue Bitters, and how long? (A) Continue Bitters until it's time to stop! We will tell when it's time to stop! Keep those until it's ready to make changes!
9. (Q) When resumed, will it be as well to give [osteopathic] treatments in Media? [Media, Pa., with Elisha T. Kirk, D.O.] (A) If they will follow the lines as will be outlined for the treatments, sure!
10. (Q) During this next period, would it be better for him to be in school or at home? (A) In SCHOOL, because keep the mind - as well as the body - in activity, see?
11. (Q) Would it be well to extract one tooth, on the right upper jaw, or will it adjust itself? (A) It will come in place itself, but should have some assistance see?
12. (Q) Why does he pick at the thumb on his right hand? (A) For the pressures in those brachial centers make for that tendency as of an itching, or of a NERVE reaction there.
13. (Q) To what extent has the jerking improved in the last period? (A) This is considerable, and will be seen to be MORE as the reactions take place, and as those of the nerve reactions - or of the Bitters - are taken.
14. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Just do that, at the present. Fifty-six days. Then we would change.
15. (Q) Along what lines should his mind be kept active? (A) Constructive!
