1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, while there apparently - outwardly - has been little accomplished thus far, that there have been reactions in the system is an indication - and should be gratifying indications to the body - that those things or conditions being administered are effective in the existent conditions in the body.
3. The changes that have taken place are in that the circulation has been aroused sufficiently to make at times the irritation of the skin itself more severe, and that there is the feeling in the joints - that are so badly stiffened and so rigid in the present - is an indication that there is still circulation that may, through the activities that are being brought about, bring renewed energy and life to those tendons and muscles that have been so long idle that they have lost the elasticity, and the muco-membranes in the activity to the joints have been relaxed - and the lymph.
4. There will be other periods of change when there will be felt soreness in the limbs, or in the joints themselves, and there may be occasionally - later on - the accumulation of fluids apparent. But when these do occur, there will be given the proper massage that will make for the correction and the elimination of inflammatory influences in the joints themselves.
5. The contraction is in the tendon ends that are attached to the bone itself; and the cushions between the joints, as in knees, as in ankle, as in wrists, and in elbow, as in shoulders, are of themselves simple "out of running" because of lack of nutriment to them for elasticity to be present.
6. We would keep, then, those properties in the massage; those properties internally that will make for better assimilation and distribution of the used forces gradually that will aid in bringing a relief to the body in such a way

that it may be able to care for itself.
7. We would, then, only add that there be the carbonated or carbon ash added to the system OCCASIONALLY - in the beginning. This will make for more oxidization and, naturally, some electrical forces will make it more active.
8. We would, then, at least every third day, take a quarter grain of the ash, see?
9. Thirty minutes later, apply the violet ray over the diaphragm area (that's to the front and over the chest, see, to the upper portion of stomach) and over the cerebrospinal area from the 9th dorsal to the 2nd or 3rd cervical; about two and a half minutes over the cerebrospinal system (from 9th dorsal; that is, from below the stomach - the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, or from the 9th dorsal plexus - solar plexus, in the cerebrospinal, see - to the upper portion of the gastrics as they cross to the central portion of circulation to the head; and about one and one-half minutes over the frontal portion of the body as given.
10. All the rest we would follow along in much the line as we have given.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) Are the pains in my back and chest also due to a change taking place? (A) As indicated.
13. (Q) When should this body have another check reading? (A) When it feels like it needs it!
14. (Q) Is my eye trouble part of the body condition or just a general happening? (A) Weakness from sapping of vitality throughout the body. This will gradually improve, and especially with the application of the violet ray - and ash.
15. (Q) Any other advice for this body at this time? (A) Be patient, but be hopeful in all of the administrations. Do not administer as just to be done consistently, but to be done POSITIVELY consistently - for a purpose! Be expectant that help is coming! For, the Maker of the body is able to care for same, if the mind and the willingness to use same aright is kept in the proper attitude. O that every soul would learn, "May I be used, O Lord, in the way Thou seest that I may serve thy purposes the better. May I use all those causes that Thou hast made, relying on Thy promises that I am Thine and Thou mayest use me as Thou seest fit!"
16. We are through for the present. Copy To Self
