Time of Reading 4:15 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.J. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes. We have the body here, [458]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in some respects conditions have changed since last we had same; some for the better, some very much for the worse. For, reactions that were indicated from the applications of influences that affect the activity in portions of the body have made for changes taht are not so good in the better physical (or mental, rather) and spiritual forces of the body.
3. In these respects, as we find, tissue - that has affected, does affect glands in the body that secrete for the fluids that make up the basic forces of nerve energies to a portion of the body - has been injured by these reactions.
4. And if there will be added into the system those things that will make for the reaction that will allow the body to become revivified, and if the corrections will be made in more alignment - as we have given for the alleviating of conditions that disturb the superficial circulation - rather than so severe in some quarters without respect to the others, these may bring for the body a gradual reaction that will allow those influences in the system to revivify and to replenish sufficiently for the overcoming of these conditions.
5. Do not allow any operative measures or local applications for any disturbances in the sensory system, for it is rather constitutional - as indicated from the disturbance in the impulses in glands' reaction for building in portions of the system, than from any PHYSICAL reactions in the organs.
6. Keep in a darkened room, or with very heavy darkened glasses; and DO NOT become morose. Do not doubt the abilities of those influences in the spiritual life to meet

the needs of the body physically, mentally, spiritually, and we will revivify these things.
7. Then, prepare this to be taken internally, as a tonic:
8. First we would take Wild Ginseng, 2 ounces of same - not tame, but WILD Ginseng - 2 ounces. Beat this, or grind same, and to this add distilled water 16 ounces. Put this in an earthen or enamel container, that may be covered with either glass or enamel cover - not with tin covers, as sometime comes. Reduce this by slow boiling, not fast, until - when strained off - there is at least 10 ounces left. See? To this then add: Grain Alcohol......................2 ounces, Tincture of Valerian.............1/4 ounce, Syrup of Rhubarb.................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya..................1/4 ounce. The dose of this will be (shake together before the dose is taken) half a teaspoonful three times each day.
9. The diets should be well balanced, but be mindful that there is not taken too much starch nor too much sugar in the diet that may be prepared for the body. We would not give an outline for the diet, but we would rather that those making the applications study that which will build a general strength for nerve influences in the system.
10. After a period of at least twenty-six to thirty days we would give changes.
11. Keep the treatments for the cerebrospinal system, but MAKE the alignments; NOT making for such specific treatments as to cause centralization of any deadening factor in the nerve supply of the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) No other treatment suggested for the eyes at this time? (A) We have just given, DON'T treat the eyes! Anything but the eyes; anything but the effects even, save as to keep them cleansed from anything that makes for secretions where poor activity of the optic forces causes a secretion about the balls themselves.
14. That is all the questions for this body.
15. We are through with this reading.
