Time of Reading 11:25 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes. Much improvements we find in the general conditions of this body. And, as we find, there are only those precautions necessary now in adding to the system those things that will gently build up the resistances and gain the bodily strength.

2. Begin with the semi-solid foods and gradually the solid foods; and we will find the general conditions will be greatly improved even from that heretofore.

3. Roasted or broiled chicken, or the like. Rice. Things that are of the starch nature, yes, but with those combined for the body-building; which means green vegetables or fresh raw vegetables taken along with same. Not too much at the time, but satisfy the cravings of the body; not wholly, but so that the assimilating system may take same on properly.

4. And we will find conditions will continue to improve.

5. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Just what should the diet be now? (A) As indicated, semi-solid; and beginning with solid foods of the nature or character as indicated, see?

In the lower portions of the extremities, where there has been the injury in the foot or the toe, these do not show infection but a stiffness.

From the hips down, rubbing on either one of the limbs or both; not over the portions that have shown injury but in the feet and in the ankle, limb and hip, a small portion of the following compound massaged into same will be most beneficial:

To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil, add:

Witch hazel.......................2 ounces, Rub alcohol.......................1 ounce, (not wood, but rub alcohol compound)

555-5 Page 2

Oil of Sassafras.............3 to 5 minims.

Shake this together. Only use a small portion of same at the time. Begin with the hips and rub down.

This would be good for anyone that stands on the feet much, or whose feet pain, or ankle or knees or tendons.

7. (Q) Any special treatment for the toe? (A) Rather for the general condition.

8. (Q) When may he resume a normal diet? (A) By Monday or Tuesday of the coming week.

9. We are through.
