Time of Reading 12:00 to 12:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [533]. As we find, there is considerable improvement in the general physical forces of this body since last we had same here.
2. And, as we find, now, as we begin with the changes in the applications, it will be well for the body to begin to move about and to be in the open and to exercise more; for the bringing into coordination those activities which will KEEP the drainages from the adhesions and lesions which have existed in the body.
3. We would, at least once a week, still have the deep manipulations to keep the coordinating and to gradually break up these adhesions in the caecum area and in the right side; and especially to keep those lesions in the central portion of the back and the reactory forces in the upper cervical and upper dorsal area in conjunction with the regular circulation.
4. Occasionally we would keep the Castor Oil packs; not regularly, but about twice or three times a week, you see, so that we keep the eliminations in the proper course and manner.
5. Don't get overanxious about self, but continue to sit up more, walk about more, and get out into the open more. But take it slowly, take it easily.
6. In the diet we would begin to change entirely. We would take more of the beef juices and more of the strained vegetable juices, or where vegetables are cooked either in steam container or in the Patapar paper; the juices of vegetables may be combined together and taken as a portion of the meals from time to time.
7. We would begin with citrus fruit juices rather than so much of the milk, though we would continue with quantities of milk and egg taken from day to day.
8. At least with one of the eggs taken in the day, we would beat up the whole egg raw into a full glass or tumbler of

beer; yes, and it can be more than three percent, too! This will be helpful to the body.
9. Do not get so you eat too much; but be patient, be persistent.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) How long should the osteopathic manipulations be continued? (A) Until the one making the applications is satisfied that the adhesions and lesions are broken up. THEN they should be continued once or twice in every two weeks, you see, so that they do not form again - or about three times a month.
12. (Q) If he continues to improve, when should he be able to accompany his mother to her home in the country? (A) In ten days to two weeks.
13. (Q) Should yeast cake to aid in elimination be continued, as doctor advised? (A) This would be helpful at times, but changing with the diet this will not be found to be necessary at the present. When necessary, be well to take.
14. (Q) When he is able to take solid food, what should be proper diet? (A) Let's take it along as we go! As we find, the beef juices and the juices of vegetables will be the first. Gradually we may add toast and egg and very crisp bacon and milk and the like. GRADUALLY these may be added, AFTER ten to fifteen days. As there's more exercise of the body, as it is able to get on its feet and move about, then the body will call for more of those pertaining to solid foods; but go at these easy. When it's begun, we would use those that we have outlined FIRST; then we may take the fowl - preferably the mixture of the white and dark meat, but don't FRY it! Let it be smothered, or the like - WELL-cooked.
15. (Q) Any special thing he should avoid? (A) Too much of starches that will cause the accumulations in the alimentary canal that would produce fermentation of a nature as of detriment to the body.
16. (Q) Is he taking too much milk a day? (A) As we will change these, as has been indicated, it will be altered quite considerable; but quantities can be taken, but mix it with other things, as we have suggested. Do these, and we will find we will bring for this body, [533], a COMPLETE recuperation from these distressing conditions which have existed.
