Time of Reading 3:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: We have the body here, [348] - this we have had before at other times under another name, but it's [348]! [GC gave the suggestion using his nickname, which EC apparently recognized as being correct for him.]

2. In many ways we find the general conditions of the body are much improved. Will the mental attitude of the body be kept as much in accord as possible, an not overtax the system either by over eating or by allowing the system to become clogged, we will find that the whole physical forces will respond much better. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) Is fish bad for this body? (A) There may be occasions when this can be taken, but not that that's fried. Boiled or baked, or broiled, would be well - but NOT fried.

4. (Q) Is conch soup still needed for the body? (A) Whatever will supply the greater amount of phosphorous for the system would be the best. The best that this may be assimilated is from the conch broth or soup, but under the existent conditions those things that carry the more of the phosphorous will be well for the body. To be sure, any sea food this is apparent - but not ALL sea foods carry such in such a WAY and manner that is assimilated, on account of the activities of other properties with it. There may be taken this in some vegetables, as in parsnips, as in those of the oyster plant, those of the carrots - especially if grated, and taken raw - and the peel of the Irish potato. These in vegetables carry the correct amount, especially in parsnips. Learn to like 'em!

5. (Q) What is cause and remedy for the loose bowels? (A) This the tendency for the over activity of the system, from those conditions where there is the attempt of the body to adjust itself to those those conditions that produced irritation in the system - see? With this condition

corrected, the tendency for the system to create that effluvia or that lymph action produces an over activity in this direction. This is especially an activity of the system's necessity for having proper amount of those forces in that as has just been given, for the creating of that PLASM that corrects the flow of impulse.

6. (Q) How can weight be put on for the body? (A) Eat those things that agree with it! and don't worry so much, and work some more!

7. That is all.

8. Keep the MENTAL body VISIONING the body as it would have it, and expect it to BE that way! Don't say "I would like to have it that way," but "It IS that way!" [GD's note: Christian Science attitude?]

9. We are through for the present.
