1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1861]; this we have had before.
3. As we find, there are material changes in the general conditions since last we had same here.
4. The activities, the influences that have been an experience of the body have proven most beneficial; and as we find these should materially lessen the periods necessary for mechanical applications for benefits.
5. We find, as indicated, there should be the osteopathic adjustments to stimulate the upper cervical and throughout the area from the 3rd and 4th dorsal through the cervicals, for a period of some three to four such general adjustments; and then there should be two to three to four applications of the low electrical forces as indicated.
6. Then there should be the periods of rest for some two to three months; then another series of two to three adjustments, and two to three of the applications of the low electrical forces direct.
7. Throughout the periods, of course, there would be kept the exercise - the mental and spiritual self raised in those activities which have aided and will aid.
8. Also, as to the general health - there should be plenty of the food values that are nerve and blood and tissue building. Have plenty of the vitamins, especially that may be had from THESE combined in the diet:
9. Each day take at least two ounces of raw carrot and spinach juice, or carrot and lettuce juice. These may be combined or taken separately.
10. Through the summer have plenty of the yellow neck squash, plenty of yellow peaches, plenty of all characters of the vegetables and fruits - ESPECIALLY those that are yellow in color.

11. Not that the body is to be abnormal in these directions, but these things carry the character of vitamins necessary for this body.
12. Of course, take EVERY form of food that carries the general body-building influences through the system.
13. Do these - having the adjustments and the electrical treatments by those individuals indicated; Dobbins for the osteopathic adjustments and Erlanger for the electrical treatments.
14. Take three or four of the adjustments before there would be begun the electrical treatments, and then three or four of the electrical treatments would be taken, see?
15. Then, AFTER beginning the electrical treatments there would be three or four of the adjustments.
16. Do not take these too long, you see; about the manner that has been indicated; for these are only the mechanical applications that may aid in the physical adjustments, that the mental and spiritual influences may act.
17. Then the diet, the living, the exercise, would be in that manner to complete the helpful and strengthening forces for this body.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) How far apart should the osteopathic adjustments be, also the electrical treatments? (A) The osteopathic treatments should be at least twice each week, or until the electrical treatments are begun (which would also be twice each week). Further osteopathic treatments, not of a stimulating nature but to set up greater eliminating activity of the body, may be given in between the electrical treatments, if this is the better or more convenient for the body. Do not overexercise the eyes during the first series of treatments. This does not mean that there are not to be activities, or that the body is to remain in seclusion or anything of the kind; but we would avoid close reading, or close exercises with the eyes of any kind that require the use of the eyes. Then, as has been indicated, after two months, take another series, you see. First take four, five, six to eight osteopathic adjustments in all, and four or five of the electrical treatments; then leave off two months, and then take another series. Then we would give the further instructions after such treatments, that is, after the second series.

20. (Q) How much time in N.Y. would be required for these treatments? (A) The time required for the number of treatments indicated.
21. (Q) Please explain the physical experiences in connection with the eyes, that have been a result of meditation? (A) These are - Well, we would begin with an explanation in this manner: We have the body, the mind, the soul. The soul is eternal. As to how eternal the mind is depends upon its creative influence, or as to how eternal it remains. Then, when there is the subjugation of the physical through the mental and spiritual, the flow of the eternal is through - and to - those portions of the body to which such suggestions are directed. The physical and mechanical applications, as we have indicated here, are only to remove hindrances in the physical forces for the greater and better activity, and for the abilities of the body in producing the healing. For, know that all HEALING - whether it is through the application of mechanical, mental or spiritual forces - comes from the one source. For it is indeed as He has given, "In Him ye live and move and have thy being."
