Park West Hospital, Time of Reading 170 West 76th St., 4:15 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. N.Y.C. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [438]; this we have had before.
2. In many ways the body finds itself better; in others the anxiety, the changes and the activities are making for disturbing conditions with the body.
3. While those conditions in the neck and shoulders show some improvements, these - as we find - should have more consideration than has been given; else we should find disturbing conditions later.
4. We would begin with the corrections in the limb and the knee, and - as we find - these will respond. There must be those precautions that sufficient time is given for the healing; and when this is accomplished (but not too soon) use a massage - massage very thoroughly; keeping the salt and the vinegar on same, not only as a poultice but as a rub. When this has healed, then gradually - when the poultice and rubs are used - the body may work the knee again.
5. Ready for questions.
6. Be very mindful of the diet, that there are not too much of the calciums but sufficient that there is the general supply for the necessary resuscitations of those forces; not sufficient to make for a hardening of the kneecap joint, however.
7. (Q) Three splinters of bone have separated from the kneecap. Is it advisable to have that pulled together with kangaroo gut, as scheduled for tomorrow morning? (A) Would be well that this be adjusted in its correct manner, being mindful of those other suggestions for the shoulder - or between the shoulder and the neck.
8. (Q) Is the body ready for the operation? (A) Ready - and past ready.

9. (Q) Is his physical condition satisfactory to take gas? (A) As we find, this would be better to take; that is, the gas.
10. (Q) There doesn't seem to be any sign of pain in the head and neck as the last reading gave. Have these disappeared, or is there scar tissue there? If so, how should it be treated? (A) Be mindful of these conditions, as has been suggested; else we may expect some disturbance later on.
11. (Q) How should this condition be treated? (A) Should have a good osteopath to adjust 'em!
12. (Q) Is it advisable or possible for the body to go to the opening of his new place in Radio City on Monday? (A) This, to be sure, will be dependent upon the response from the adjustments as necessary in the correcting of the limb or kneecap, and in the activities as would be by the body at such times. Not ADVISABLE, yet it's possible.
13. (Q) Of what should he be careful? (A) As indicated, in the diets, in the use of the limb and in those activities necessary to prevent disturbances later.
14. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) Do that.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self (two copies to Self, one for Dr. Frank Dobbins) " " Ass'n file
