On board the U.S. Time of Reading Dredge ..., 3:35 to 3:55 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Merrill and Stevens Shipyard, Jacksonville, Fla., or somewhere on the St. John's River, not far from Jacksonville. (Questions)
1. EC: We have the body associations with the Dredge, but we don't find them together!
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Please outline the diet fully. (A) The diet, as we find, should be taken into consideration with the manner of adjustments that should be made in the physical body - and the properties that would be well to go with same. Hence it would be well were the diet outlined by one making the adjustments, as these changes should come with the corrections as they affect the body and its circulation. For, there are elements that are lacking in the system; or there is an excess, as it might be termed, of elements that make for an unbalancing - and hence lacking in some directions; though, if these were all balanced, there might be little change necessary in the character or amount of elements for corrections. See? There is, then, an excess of potash as related to elements that create in the blood supply and in the activity in the organs as to cause a tendency for sluggishness of activity through the alimentary canal, and low or cold activity of the organs of elimination; producing a thickening, or a temperature of a nature in other portions of the system. Lacking, then (in the present balance), of the iodines; not iodine of potassium, but tincture or atomic iodine.

4. (Q) What corrections or adjustments should be made? (A) From the manner of the activities of the system, and the attitude of the mental body, there is the sluggish activity through liver and the colon. Hence a low hepatic circulation. The segments in the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal show a tendency for settling close together, as do the activities of the muscles and the tendons about the sacral and coccyx region. These subluxations are not as lesions, as yet, but are rather of the nature that produces - through these areas at times - a dull aching across the hips, through the right side - low down in the caecum area; at other times a heaviness and pain through the upper portion of the body, under the shoulder blades, and a tendency for the mental body to be easily aggravated - or nothing fits just exactly right; making for a lesion in the hypogastric and pneumogastric area, or 3rd and 4th cervical. What areas, then, need adjustment? In the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal. Relaxations in the lumbar or sacral and coccyx area. Tautness and relaxation (not together, but at various adjustments or treatments) in the cervical area. These we would take, preferably, OSTEOPATHICALLY. These may be aided materially by a CONTINUED and consistent use of the electrically driven vibrator, with the deep manipulation in the dorsal area indicated - and more of the flat or brush manipulation with same in sacral and coccyx area, and the cup manipulation in the cervical and neck area, using also the ball or bulb as a deep manipulation across the abdominal area - as with the caecum, going up and following the line of the colon across the body, which will aid in reducing the tendency for constipation and making for an activity that will relieve the conditions. But PREFERABLY, would we give, use at least once a week the osteopathic adjustments and deep treatment, and about three times a week the vibrator. Let the osteopath outline the diet for the body, but at least once each day - and preferably upon retiring take three to five drops of Atomidine in TWO GLASSES of water.
5. (Q) What can be done for constipation? (A) We have been trying to tell you! We would do that!
6. (Q) What causes the stiffness in the joints at times? (A) The tendency for inflammation in the blood that takes from the circulation the lymph supply. Hence the treatments

and the properties given for correction.
7. (Q) Has Innerclean been harmful to this body? (A) At times it has. It tends to take too much of the lymph and emunctory circulation from the intestinal tract, or DRIES secretions without producing cleansing, taking away from the system the peristaltic movement or muscular contraction; which may be aided better by the producing of the activity with the expanding of the nerve and muscular forces through the manipulating and vibratory treatments.
8. (Q) What kind of tobacco, if any, should this body use? (A) Pure tobacco is always better than any concoction of the compilation of other things with same. If it's to be used at all, use the Natural Leaf. Then you won't use so much of it either!
9. (Q) What makes the heart beat faster after meals? (A) Conditions in areas indicated in spine, and the effect that the disturbed circulation has upon the respiratory system.
10. (Q) What causes the stiffness in the joints? (A) We have just given you that! We are through with this reading. Copy to Miss [307] " " Ass'n file
