Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [287]; this we have had oft before.

2. Conditions are improved, as we find in the body, in many ways. There is still much yet to be desired, but - as we find - if these suggestions are followed, the body will continue to be on the improve.

3. We would prepare a compound to be massaged in the throat and those areas where there is the tendency for the accumulation of forces there that bring distress. To one ounce of Iodex mix thoroughly five grains of the Animated Ash, and massage as indicated.

4. For the hearing and for the activities where there has been the unbalancing by the variation in the length of the lower limbs, in the pelvis area, we would press upon the vagus nerve at the throat and in the area of the coccyx - as it connects the nerves there with the SECONDARY nerves of the lower portions of the body (or the sciatics). And we will relieve much of this condition. On the left side, the vagus nerve - pressure being on the RIGHT nerve plexus or end, in the coccyx area, when the adjustments are given by Farrand or the chiropractor. And we will find it will aid. Then at the next day's treatment make the application on the left cheek or the plexus in the coccyx closer up to the sternum, or to the osseous area or connection there. And we will relieve these pressures, see? Only the vagus pressure every other day.

5. As for the head, the natural thing is to make for lower and lower pressures in the Eustachian tube by that catarrhal condition that affects both the hearing and the throat, stimulated through those poisons that have caused other conditions.

6. Do these, keeping to the diets - and we will find the better conditions for the body, [287].

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Why do I become hoarse when talking? (A) The accumulations of phlegm. Use that massage as indicated, not only over the centers where there is the protuberance, but the throat and the bronchials and especially over the area of the vocal box - the combination of the Ash and Iodex. Only apply what the body absorbs, twice each day.

9. We are through with this reading.
