1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
2. EC: Been some sudden changes around here!
3. Yes, we have the body here, [849]; this we have had before.
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What is the condition of the left wrist, and how can it be helped? (A) As we find, there has been a straining of ligaments in the left wrist. Besides the general massaging of same, we would bind about this, daily, about thirty minutes before the regular massage, a poultice of table salt almost saturated with pure apple vinegar. Place this on a cloth or bandage and bind about the wrist, not for a minute or five or ten minutes, but thirty minutes before the regular period for the massage. Then take it off. Put it on again the next day for thirty minutes, and so on. This will add to the strengthening of the tendons that have been bruised. We do not find breaks there, but the tendons have been strained to the point of causing lack of ability to fully assume or to take from the lymph circulation the renewing energies.
6. (Q) Should the masseuse work on the right foot at present? (A) The masseuse may assist this in its full drainages, but begin upon the edges of the breaks with an ointment prepared from the Ichthyol the Ichthyol Ointment. Do not spread it over the whole area, but to prevent spreading of the area where there is the oozing of the pus or corruption. Use this consistently, not a great deal but consistently, and it will aid.
7. (Q) Can anything further be done to help the right elbow? (A) As we find, we would continue to take the regular massage, and at least twice a week apply over this elbow the hot Epsom Salts Packs.

8. (Q) In view of the unfavorable weather and the present state of the Body's health, should he plan to stay in Clearwater through September before going to N.Y.? (A) Not more than half the month, if quite that long.
9. (Q) What improvement is there in the body? (A) This depends upon the variations indicated. In some portions there is sixty-six and two-thirds percent improvement. In others there's only a five or ten percent. But in the main, improvements.
10. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) Do keep that mental attitude that is in keeping with the abilities of the entity itself. Ye know in what ye have believed, and know He is able to keep that ye commit unto Him against any experience in the earth. As He hath called thee, forsake not His closer companionship day be day. As ye talk of, speak of, act toward thy fellow man, even though it be only those nearest and dearest to thee, know that the same measure ye mete must YE indeed be measured also. Then, if only for self-protection, as it were, do RIGHT, as well as doing so to the glory of the Creative Forces. Thus ye hem yourself in, in a manner, but make yourself free indeed in the Blessed One.
11. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file (If you have never been able to secure the Ichthyol, write Mrs. [2514], ..., Tenn., and ask her where she secured the Ichthyol Ointment that she is using. This is the other scleroderma case that is responding so well to treatments suggested in the Rdg.)
