Time of Reading 3:45 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: ("Something wrong with that number!") [GD's note: Same St. # at which 556-5 through 556-8 had been given.]

2. Yes. We have the impressions here, [556].

3. The continued weakness which indicates the reinfectious forces should be overcome more by drainages set up through the manipulations, as we have indicated, rather than the attempt of the electrical vibrations. For these stimulations by the movement of segments, where there is the tendency for congestion in centers along the cerebrospinal system, are more effective than a vibration from electrical or electronic forces. These we would do.

4. As the body does show the ability of assimilation, without too great a recurrence of temperature and distress through the alimentary canal or stomach itself - or of gas forming, we would gradually increase the character as well as quantity of the food values. These have been changed at times to those not as helpful, while at others they were not so harmful.

5. Use coddled egg, a little very crisp bacon, and those things of a pre-digested or semi-pre-digested nature; foods that are more and more body-building. But take these in very small quantities in the beginning; otherwise we may produce the recurrence of infectious forces - unless these drainages are set up.

6. Keep the eliminations through the alimentary canal by the enemas occasionally; not so much that the mucous membranes of the intestines are strained but keep the antiseptics with same, and we will find these will assist in the assimilations and eliminations without causing too great a distress.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) The place over the eye seems to be healing, but is still sore and swollen. Should it be allowed to heal up at this time? (A) We would keep the Iodex and Ash ointment on same.

9. (Q) As it seems impossible to secure more Animated Ash -

556-9 Page 2

(A) (Interrupting) It may be obtained by writing or wiring to those who manufacture same.

10. (Q) What should be used as a stimulant? (A) Eggnog is vary good, if not too raw or not too high in the alcohol content.

11. (Q) Please give directions as to how to prepare his tea. What should be added to it? (A) Added as it has been given. Make it as it has been given to!

12. (Q) Are the adjustments being given properly? (A) As we have indicated, use more of a gentle movement than vibrations, see?

13. (Q) How often should they be given and how long continued? (A) So long as it is necessary to keep the normal balance for proper drainage and elimination, and to prevent the settling of congestion in any portion of the body such as to cause excess temperature. How often? This will depend, to be sure, upon the RESPONSES of the body and how WELL these treatments are applied at each time. How long kept up? As long as necessary to keep this down; which should be indicated by the response of the body - and may be seen by the manipulator or adjuster.

14. (Q) Any other advice? (A) This we would do, as indicated. Go gently with the changes in the diet; not too fast, but be mindful that what is taken is well assimilated.

15. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (Show reading to Dr. Frischkorn; he should understand what is meant in reference to his treatments; given in the first paragraph of the reading and in answer to Questions Par. 12-A and 13-A.)
