Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [679]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are improvements in almost every manner in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. While there have NOT been the full or complete adjustments in the cerebrospinal system, the greater part of that in the cervical area HAS been aided. Those indicated that needed adjustments in the upper dorsal and the lower lumbar and coccyx area have not been relieved as much as they should be. The relief of these, as we find, would make for an easier and a more perfect circulation flowing through these portions of the body, and REVIVIFY the forces that have been out of balance as related to the functioning of the organs of the sensory system; or the eyes and the head and neck and the general activities through the system. It would be well, as we find, for these adjustments to be made. While it would not require such a great change, these given would relieve the general condition and make the improvement better and continued; as also would the stimulating of the ganglia that are relieve by having the pressures in the segments relieved or released, see? through the addition of the electrical vibrations from the plain violet ray over segments that are changed, which would bring the superficial circulation to such an activity as to cause the flow of the blood supply through same. Thus not only would the distresses in those particular portions be relieved, but the impulse for the circulation through the head and the neck and to the optic forces and to all portions of the face would be such as to IMPROVE the functioning of the organs; bringing a nearer normal condition.
3. We would take an eighth grain of the Ash each day, and five to ten minutes afterwards apply the violet ray for ten to twelve minutes in this manner: With the plain bulb (do not use the eye applicator as yet, but the plain bulb), begin with the temple area, around the face, down to the

neck, back of the ear, down the neck, over the point of the chin, down over the thyroid, across the shoulder and across the frontal portion of the body to the edge of the breast, - across the shoulder, down the spine, across the dorsal area to the lower portion of the brachial center; then from the 1st and 2nd cervical all the way to the end of the spine. Take the whole ten to twelve minutes for the treatment each day, and the bulb should be applied directly to the body itself.
4. The rubs, that will relax and be massaged into the spine, just what will be absorbed by same, should be given about three or four times each week. With this massage begin from the center of the spine, or 9th dorsal, and go downward; massaging not only over the spinal column itself but along the area along the side of the spine where there is the activity of the sympathetic nervous system that passes along the muscular force along either side of the spine; down to the area across the lower portion of the sacrum, or across the lower portion Of the locomotory centers and along the upper portion of the sciatic nerves. These rubs will be most beneficial to strengthen all these portions of the body. Then we would begin at the 9th dorsal and go towards the brain forces, or towards the upper portion of the body, in a circular motion, and just what the body will absorb.
5. Be careful with the diet, taking those things that will make for the general recuperative forces of the body. Keep rather close to the alkalin-reacting foods; these are the better not only for the general cleansing of the system but to prevent colds and too free a flow of the lymph circulation; thus enabling the blood supply in its lymph activity to be of a greater strength or vitality when it is building or recuperating through those portions where affected forces have been active in the body itself.
6. The adjustments would need to be given only about two or three times each week.
7. Doing these, we would bring the better conditions to this body of [679].
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Would Dr. Forte, Bressler, Bates, or the new doctor in town [Chas. W. Ross, D.C.?] whose card I received, be well to carry out these treatments? (A) We would go to the new doctor in preference to any of these in the present; giving him to understand those necessary factors desired - only the adjustments, and the other treatments may be taken at home, you see. Make the adjustments as indicated, and we will find there will be the better effect.

10. (Q) Have my treatments so far been followed correctly? (A) So far as they have gone! They haven't gone far enough! The correction most necessary has been made. There is the necessity, as indicated, for coordinating those centers in the upper dorsal and the lower portion of the spine in the coccyx and lumbar area. That correction of which most have been fearful, who have examined the body, has been done! and very well done! Do not allow the upper cervical to be other than massaged with the oils as indicated. Corrections in the other areas then, would be made with the body lying on the side as indicated, and made from the opposite side - in the upper dorsal; and that in the coccyx area and the lower lumbar would be with the body bent forward.
11. (Q) Give me any other advice which would aid me at this time. (A) Keep the mental attitude in that of a constructive nature. Find not fault with others; for these but magnify thine OWN shortcomings as in the eyes and minds of others. Let thy watchword rather be, that "As the Lord hath need of me, may I in humbleness of mind be used as a channel of blessings to others. May that I think, do, be in accord with that I would have thought of and done to me by others."
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file
