Time of Reading 4:20 to 4:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. L.I., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [758]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are in the present those inclinations and those tendencies for much better conditions. While as has been given it will take time to bring about the coordination between the mental impulse and the physical reactions in the system, these are consequences of the conditions that have been given again and again.
3. We find that, unless the advantage is taken at the present time of those changes that are nature's change in the physical aspects of the body, these will not be brought into conditions of a coordination sufficient for the body to function normally in this experience. However, if all of those things that have been indicated are brought about during the next year or eighteen months, there should be a change that will be MOST helpful; and the abilities of the body mentally and physically for the caring for self should be established in the physical and mental reactions of the body.
4. The applications that are being made in the corrections osteopathically are very good.
5. We would find that if there were periods of the application of the Castor Oil Packs over the caecum and the lacteal ducts area, yea extending AROUND the body from the ducts and glands on the left side, around the body, these would make for relaxations that would bring about such changes WITH the applications now given as to overcome those tendencies for the incoordinating reactions or spells during any period. These are the effects rather of the ducts and glands through the muscular forces, and the incoordination between the mental impulse, the activity of digestive forces. We would encircle the body then across from the central portion back over the central portion, see, including in same the lacteal duct and caecum areas. These should be given for at least an hour, changing the pads

twice, the evenings before the adjustments are made. Do this, then, during the periods that these applications or treatments are to be made.
6. The rest of those things as indicated we would continue. In the vibrations from the appliance, keep the anodes or the plates clean and attach them in such a manner that they are in perfect contact with the body during the period of rest.
7. Do that.
8. Keep these as near as possible in the way and manner as has been indicated.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Otherwise, are the battery treatments being given correctly? (A) These are very good. There should be soon, of course, the recharging of same, and these should be kept in that accord so that at each period of application there is carried into the system the vibrations to the glandular forces, the electric energies of the properties as indicated.
11. (Q) Should the body continue wearing arches? (A) These are well, for until there has been sufficient correction in the lumbar, through the sacral and the lower dorsal, or lumbar and dorsal area, that there is sufficient strength through the impulses for the lower extremities, the arches enable the feet and ankles to keep the strain off of same. The feet, of course, are to be treated each time the other treatments are given.
12. (Q) Are present eye glasses correct or should they be changed? (A) These for the immediate present are very good. But before there are the activities of the body so much in the open, it would be well to change them.
13. (Q) Would it be advisable to send body to same farm as last summer? (A) Provided there are the precautions and care taken as has been indicated, or as was in the last experience there.
14. (Q) What developments mentally can be expected with present treatment? (A) We have added that which may aid with the present treatments to bring effectual conditions; provided they are carried on in a manner commensurate with the sincerity of application will be the results.
15. (Q) How long should the Castor Oil Packs be continued? (A) As indicated, these are to be given the evening before the adjustments are made. Continue these each time until there are the results obtained from the conditions as arise from the disturbances which they will relieve.
16. (Q) Should laxatives be given this body, and if so how
758-40 Page 3
often and what is suggested? (A) There should be those precautions that there are the correct such that these are not effective, well that there be given a laxative. Occasional conditions may arise even when purgatives are necessary. WHEN necessary, use a vegetable purgative. As a laxative use Senna, the Syrup of same, or Figs, or the alternating of same.
17. (Q) Should there be any change in the diet? (A) Such changes come only as developments are indicated, not in the present. Keep rather to those things that have been indicated. Keep a body-balance, but eighty percent alkaline reaction to the twenty percent of those foods that are acid reacting.
18. (Q) What causes these convulsive seizures? (A) As has been indicated, contractions in the glandular forces, through the periods of poor assimilation that come as a strain to changing conditions in the sexual activities in the body, as well as the lesions that exist by the pressures in the caecum, the lacteal ducts and those about the adrenals.
19. (Q) Can parents hope to ever see this body normal mentally? (A) This depends upon the application of those suggestions as has been given.
20. (Q) Any further advice at this time? (A) We are through with this reading. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file (GD's note at the time of the reading: See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Castor Oil Packs. See Alkalin-Reacting Diet List [which was enclosed].)
