Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes. As we find, conditions are not so good.
2. Here we have an effect of a high developed nerve force through the spiritual forces and activities in the body raising the system to high vibrations, and then the effect upon this as a shock from that which deadens the nerve system.
3. Hence we have the feelings - and will have for several days - of numbness, portions of the extremities going to sleep, a very great weakness, a lack of appetite, a tendency towards a little nausea.
4. That necessary is to have general manipulations, either by a neuropath or an osteopath if GENERAL treatment is given; and the massages with oil that would make for a food to the sympathetic or to the superficial AND sympathetic nervous system.
5. Then only time and these will relieve.
6. When and if the osteopathic manipulations are given, special precautions should be made as to the heart - and examinations made as to the effect of these upon the heart's activity; or an adjustment in the upper dorsal and cervical area, that we may overcome those tendencies for nervous jerking (that comes from a pressure there) and the tendencies for the overpowering force of the sympathetic nerve system.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What oils should be used? (A) Olive oils.
9. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) Once, twice, three times a week at first; and there should not necessarily be more than four or six such adjustments - if THOROUGHLY and GENERALLY given.
10. (Q) Who would be suggested to give these treatments correctly for this body? (A) Anyone that will be in sympathy with the manipulations,

and that would give a general treatment and pay particular attention to the heart's activity.
11. (Q) What diet? (A) There won't be very much of a diet! Anything that is easily assimilated. Broths, juices, fruits - any of these are the better.
12. (Q) Any spiritual advice? (A) Hold fast to the good within. Do not suppress the desires for activity, mentally or spiritually.
