1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [758] - this we have had before. Many are the changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Some, or most of these have not been for the betterment; for many of the precautions or warnings as have been given were not wholly adhered to, or the wishes of those complied with. The conditions in the present, as we find, show that little precaution was taken as to WHAT the body ate, and HOW they administered the medicinal properties as were to be given under certain conditions and as directed. This, as we find, has produced a contraction in the gastric forces, especially of the lower duodenum, and hence the rash as has been indicated over portions of the system, and especially accentuated in the lumbar region and about the sex organs show the EFFECT OF these conditions in the system. We will find that with the proper precautions, with the keeping of the body not TOO quiet, but in a NORMAL atmosphere, in those surroundings and conditions such as has been GIVEN should be for the body, and with the commencing or the continuing of the manipulative forces - especially in the lumbar and sacral region, with that stimuli in same as to keep the alimentary canal working in a near normal manner, stimulating those forces within the cerebrospinal centers as will make for especially that of a full activity (this from the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal) of the peristaltic movement of the jejunum itself; also keeping those food values that will make for a better coordination in the manner as has been outlined for the body, we will soon find the recuperative forces are active and the body being nearer normal, and the activities of the body-physical and mental will bring about that of a near normal condition.
2. Keep the vibrations of the battery forces for the system, for these quiet and equalize the extremities in their circulation for the body. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Should medicine prescribed in last reading be continued, or is it too strong?

(A) Given in the manner as has been outlined, that when it was necessary - or at the stated periods as given, give it - we will find that it will be most helpful in the digestive system and in the assimilating system, but be mindful that there is not too MUCH given - but AS was outlined!
4. (Q) Why has body acted strangely since his return from camp? (A) This may be a two or threefold reason, as we find. The change in the surroundings, the natural inclinations for the group or for the herd, or for many other bodies about the body, the change in the physical feelings of the body, and the general activity of the mental forces of the body itself expanding.
5. (Q) Was he ill treated or frightened, or spanked, while at camp? (A) The conditions about the body were not the best, or - that is, they were not in line WITH that as has been given, that the personal attention and care should be given.
6. (Q) Was it best to have taken body away from camp? (A) As has been given, such a camp, such a surrounding is well for the body, provided there is that personal care and attention given, as has been given should be for the body.
7. (Q) Why does abdomen become distended at times? Is it due to poor digestion? (A) Due to poor digestion. Fermentation takes place in the system.
8. (Q) What causes sick stomach attack and convulsions on Sunday the 26th? (A) The natural reaction from the varied condition under which the body had been living, or existing, and the imaginative forces - with a disordered digestive system, produced by over-fermentation in the body.
9. (Q) Why is body always hungry, and should more food be given? (A) Not more than that that will digest properly. The cause of the hunger is the natural conditions, that that as has been given mostly has NOT been satisfying the cravings, or the digestive forces, or the necessities OF the body. Follow more along the lines as has oft been given FOR that that would be the proper diet for this body, [758].
10. (Q) Advise where and how to develop this body mentally and physically? (A) Let's get it over the present condition and take these conditions as they arise! In the present conditions we would follow out that line as has been determined by those in care or charge of the body, for the present. As the conditions change, or as they develop - as the season progresses, then there may be given the better understanding as to that that would be the best for further development of

the body. The improvements exist! Do not be over-hasty. Remember, as has oft been given - the abilities of this entity are such, that will not over-anxiousness, or that over personal anxiety, but that care and attention, loving-kindness, and the development of those upon whom the body develops - may bring to the body, and to them, those blessings, that MANY will call the body blessed!
