1. EC: Yes.
2. There are changes in the general physical forces, as well as the mental attitudes and activities of the body, since we last had it.
3. Most of these as we find, or all of these, are the nominal, normal conditions; all circumstances and surroundings taken into consideration.
4. As we find, there are NOMINAL developments; and there needs to be kept only those precautionary measures, those activities that have been indicated for the body under the circumstances.
5. Owing to the great nervous strain, mentally and physically, under which the body has been and is passing, there will be required the greater effort to keep in a cheerful frame of mind BY associations with those who MAKE for the changing of attitudes as respecting the general activities or the influences about same.
6. Keep in the open as much as is practical, especially of evenings with those of the associates and activities that are of the nature to MAKE for the better attitudes.
7. However, we would refrain from those greater strains, of course; such as rushing up or down steps, or jumping, or lifting or the like.
8. The diets would be kept very much in order with those things that have been indicated for the body through the general conditions. [See 480-28 through 480-36 during last pregnancy.]
9. That there may be no great disturbance with the bodily forces as related to the activity of the kidneys, as the upper hepatic circulation or the pancreas and the spleen activity, [Diabetic tendency which followed birth of her dead baby son on 7/6/37.] include the artichoke at least once a week. This should keep sufficient for a normal balance in these directions.

10. The gentle manipulations or care in those directions would be very well.
11. We would insist upon examinations occasionally by those of surgeons, or those of the osteopathic surgeons, for the proper position, the proper placement of the organs of the pelvis during these developing periods.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) How may I overcome complete fatigue, and pull myself together? (A) As indicated, it may only be done by such physical activities in the companionship of those who intend or are inclined to make for creating an atmosphere that makes for the overcoming of such. Do not rely upon drugs or chemicals for such a change, for these are ONLY those that may momentarily relieve and the end is worse than the condition.
14. (Q) What should I do to prevent melancholia? (A) Just the same as has been indicated.
15. (Q) How stimulate appetite? (A) As we find, if there are the activities and the influences as indicated, these will make for the better stimulation than taking drugs.
16. (Q) Should I take anything in particular to help me gain strength? (A) As we find, the Codiron would be very well in these directions; but only take about ONE tablet a day instead of one after each meal. Let it rather extend over a long period. These properties as we find would be carrying sufficient of the vitamins. Of course, it should not be overdone, but be careful that there is plenty of calcium in the foods taken.
17. (Q) Can you tell me what is the best approach through this channel for me to gain an understanding from the spiritual angle of the apparent tragedy which has come in my life through the loss of my mother? [See 601-31.] (A) The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. Such as these appear to come as trite sayings, but as we study the Scripture and the promises therein, we find that only does the answer come within the self. Know that as He WILLS, only that which is for the individual - for ALL concerned - the will of Him as it is done in each, able to make for that a awakening necessary for the better understanding. Condemning of self, of others, of the lack of this or that or the other, only creates barriers that make for the INABILITY OF the self to catch the glimpse.

Read that which has been indicated in the last admonition of Moses, in the 30th of Deuteronomy. Read of those promises in the Psalms - as in the 24th, the 23rd, the 91st, the 1st, the 150th. All of these will indicate that which is the SOURCE of strength mentally and spiritually, and - if we coordinate our mental and physical selves - also the source of our body's strength. For, as indicated in those, the SOURCE of all is there. If we look, then, for other means - or material means - for the answer, there is none. Only is it found in Him.
