1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. As we find, there are SOME improvements, but still a GENERAL reaction from the cold, congestion, and the neuralgial pains - especially through the head; and, naturally, the general weakness of the body is producing great distress.
4. These find a reaction especially in the nerves to the optic forces, and to the one where many of the nerves have been so injured.
5. As was indicated some time back, there needs to be local treatments - if there would be the better condition for the body. The needs of these have been accentuated by the cold and congestion - as we find.
6. To build the body so that it may retain strength and vitality - we would have plenty of orange juice with a little lemon, the grapefruit and grapefruit juice; and beef juice given about a teaspoonful or less every hour or two hours.
7. And at least once a day give a light violet ray treatment to the spine from the 3rd and 4th dorsal to the base of the brain. This may extend across the neck at the base of the brain, but DO NOT let it come to the side of the face or even under the chin, or to the front of same. This should NOT be applied directly to the eye, you see, nor even to the sides of the face, especially on the right side, but on the spine from the 3rd and 4th dorsal upward and downward in that area - not going over or down around the face. Not under the cheek, nor under the chin, but across the back of the head to the 1st dorsals, up and down; not just pushing up and up, but up and down, see?
8. Do that, as we find, for the better conditions.

9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is it important at this time to have osteopathic treatments? (A) Not until the body is able to go for same.
11. (Q) Any other suggestions in case of sickness of stomach? (A) This as we find should not arise, unless there are upsetting conditions. Just as indicated about the application of the electrical forces; if applied OVER any portion of the face or neck, other than indicated, it would produce VIOLENT pain, see? Also the extending of it below the 3rd and 4th dorsal would upset the stomach. Keep the body quiet, and as she is able to rest, giving a little at the time of the strengthening juices, the strength will build up and this will allay the pain and congestion from that which has caused the disturbance. THEN, as soon as practical, we would have the LOCAL treatments for the eye and face; also osteopathic treatments, but there are the needs for the dilating of the muscles and nerves of the optic itself, especially the right, you see, and this will necessitate being done by an optician.
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
