Time of Reading 11:55 to 12:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Some improvements, yet there are not the precautions taken as there should be if the body would gain a better normal equilibrium physically and the expressions of the mental through the physical.
2. For there cannot be a full mental and physical expression where the mental continuously condemns self for not doing that it knows to do - and excuses it in one way or another!
3. Either fit the self to be the channel through which that it believes may express, or don't express that's what you claim to believe!
4. In the applications of the manipulations, these as we find may be gradually given away but don't stop off because we say "gradually give away." For there needs to be the strengthening to the muscular and sinew forces as well as keeping the body until those portions of same are securely or entirely held or healed where there has been the strain.
5. And if the body physically and mentally does not coordinate and cooperate to bring healing forces, how may it heal properly?
6. We would continue with the tonic as a stimulant to the whole of the bodily forces. This may be increased for days and then decreased, but because of this don't become so lax as to discontinue for weeks when we have given days, or take it for weeks when it should be taken for days and discontinued for days! Be consistent, as ye would have others consistent! Be as patient as ye would have others patient!
7. The rubs and the massages as we find we would continue, for at least another week.
8. Keep the diets that are body-building. Preferably the milk would not be the animal milk but the combinations as in Dry Milk or the Condensed Milk; but the powder for THIS body rather than Pet or Canned milk of any kind would be preferable - these supply the carrier of the enzymes in same that is needed - or the pepsin enzymes for digestive forces

and not animal fat.
9. In the attitudes, be consistent and persistent; and we will find greater improvements and much nearer to harmonious conditions in the self as well as about self.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) How long should the taping be kept on? (A) As long as necessary! As long as there is no strain upon the system with the movements of the body. How long before the body will react properly to the rebuilding depends upon how well the body takes care of itself!
12. (Q) What laxative should I take? (A) Better to use enemas than laxatives. Do not use enemas that are of a higher temperature than the body, nor a lower temperature than the body. Use salines and sodas in the solutions, and an alkalin antiseptic afterwards - and these will not strain the body, they will not make for disturbances or drains upon the body as laxatives or the like do produce. Rather govern same by the treatments and by the diet. But each day be sure there is the full evacuation from the colon. Not necessarily high enemas, though at times these may be necessary. The proportions of the Soda and Salt for this body would be a heaping teaspoonful of Soda and a level teaspoonful of Salt to a gallon of water. But be sure these are dissolved thoroughly, and in the last water put a teaspoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to a quart of water - these the proportions. This is much better than a cathartic or a laxative. However, at times these may become necessary to take - but when these are taken they should be preferably a vegetable compound to act with the activity of the liver and the gall duct and the spleen and pancreas, rather than just to excite the activity of the lymph flow through the mucous membranes of the system.
13. (Q) How often would you suggest the manipulations be given now? (A) Skip every other one.
14. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
