Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. As we find, the administrations of the manipulative forces have been very well given; but there should be more of these in the direction of creating a better balance in the nerve systems of the body; at least three or four more.
3. There has been an upsetting through the activities of the MENTAL self, in allowing itself to become AGGRAVATED or overanxious - and this combined with the poisons in the system is producing the disturbance.
4. Hence there is the necessity for the use of those stimulations to the activities of the alimentary canal to free the body of the poisons, or to carry same off - the accumulation as waste from the cold, the congestion, and the general reactions in the system.
5. These as we find may best be had in a combination of laxatives; as those properties of a vegetable nature - such as Castoria and California Syrup of Figs; taken in this manner:
6. Take the Fletcher's Castoria in broken doses, very often; that is, a quarter teaspoonful every half an hour until the body has the natural sedative effect of this being absorbed by the system. There will be the inclination from same for the body to rest, or feel as if it were a bit dopey - but this will be the effect of the combinations of properties in the Castoria, and is not detrimental - neither habit-forming.
7. Then late in the evening take a teaspoonful of half Castoria and half Syrup of Figs, as to flush the system.
8. Keep the body quiet, the feet warm; but CHEERFUL surroundings in every manner.
9. The diet should be rather liquids and semi-liquids but strengthening in every manner.
10. And we should find better conditions being brought for the body.
11. Ready for questions.
560-5 Page 2
12. (Q) Why has she gotten so very nervous? (A) As just indicated, it has allowed itself to become overanxious about mental conditions or surroundings and activities in specific ways. [GD's note: Sister [993] said [560] was very sensitive about having a man osteopath work on her; she couldn't relax and get the full benefit from the treatments.]
13. (Q) What can sister, [993], do to aid body? (A) Keep a cheerful atmosphere about the body, and in an attitude and with activities of constructive forces in every manner. The use of the Radio-Active Appliance would be most beneficial in bringing the rest. With the use of those properties that will be absorbed through the system and produce the sedative effect, we do not find this will be absolutely necessary; but if there is the inability to rest - and the inability to use the Appliance - we would have given a sedative so that the body may rest or sleep.
14. (Q) Any further information or advice? (A) Much in the form of advice or information might be suggested, but these suggestions are for the immediate conditions. These we would do for the present.
