Time of Reading 3:35 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [949]; this we have had before.

2. Conditions are not so well in the present. These conditions in the present, as we find - as the nervous condition, the breaking out, the condition in the arms and over portions of the body, are as much psychological as pathological.

3. This is not intimating that there is a weakness or an inclination of a weakness in the mental self. Rather is it that the high nerve tension and the abilities of the body to psychically take ON conditions are supersensitive and active in this body in the present.

4. Then, as we find, correct physically the diet; from all those things that increase the condition by a superacidity or from those that create alcoholic reactions by their combinations - eliminating these.

5. And let the manipulations osteopathically be given with POSITIVE suggestions as to what is to be accomplished as there is the releasing of the segments along the cerebrospinal system; as to what this affects and HOW the releasing of these areas about the upper dorsal and the lower portions of the cervicals will and do affect the circulation through the arms and hands.

6. Thus we will find quite a change coming to the body.

7. Use any lotion that is helpful or beneficial to the arms, in a rub. As we find, a compound prepared with equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh, and a third of the quantity of Balsam of Tolu in solution, would be well to be used as a rub for the arms and hands.

8. Do this and we will bring the better conditions for this body.

9. Ready for questions.

10. We are through with this Reading.
