1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. While there are a great many changes in the physical forces of this body since last we had same here, there were some indiscretions - as we find - along with the corrections that were given or made for this body during those periods of building up of the blood and nerve supply and the general health for this body, [781]. For, as we find, where there is the tendency for the protrusion of the folds of the intestines - or the folds of the abdominal area, or the hernia - this is rather severe. It causes a great deal of pain and irritation to the whole of the nervous system, causing much of that which is often termed or called by others in their activity as lack of diligence, or producing a dilatory reaction, or laziness - as sometimes called, or tendency for the lack of the proper mental reactions; or there is the ineffectiveness of concentration, or inability of effectual concentration. These are natural mental reactions.
2. Now, as we find, these may be materially aided by the balancing of the body as to the PELVIS axis, and as to coordinating the cerebrospinal axis with same; as well as in the brachial center. This correction we would have made by such an one as Grapes; through the coccyx area, as well as massaging the abdominal area with an equal combination of mutton suet, spirits of camphor and oil of wintergreen. Preferably melt the suet before adding the others in their own proportion, or a tablespoonful of each. Make such a correction each day, followed by the massage, for at least twenty-six treatments.
3. And after each treatment BIND the area; not so much with a brace, but rather a BAND - that will materially aid.
4. Be mindful that the eliminations are normal. Quite often we would use high enemas.
5. Also, of course, during the whole period there would be followed an ALKALIN diet. Keep away from meats. Have one

meal every day consisting wholly of raw green vegetables for this body.
6. And the condition should be improved!
7. Should it continue as in the present it would be necessary, of course, for the operative forces to draw these together where the separations have occurred in the folds of the abdominal area.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Can you give a permanent cure for the chronic constipation? (A) Yes, the diet! With the eliminations through the use of the high enemas. Well that these be used, too, with the antiseptics to prevent irritation.
10. (Q) What about the mental condition of this body? (A) It's very good, if we will take these strains off the AXIS of the nervous system! These treatments would, of course, be in the specific area of the coccyx; about the nerves and muscles of the locomotories, with the pressures - of course - coordinated in the 4th lumbar, 12th dorsal, 4th dorsal, 2nd and 3rd cervical.
11. We are through with this reading. Copy to Father " " Ass'n file (1/5/35 GD's note: Show reading to Dr. Grapes [Nona Grapes, N.D.] and let her follow it. She has been treating Mrs. [394] for some time according to the readings. See Alkalin-Reacting Food List [which was enclosed].)
