1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1866] - this we have had before. We find conditions in a general way show improvements throughout the physical forces of the body; those centralized or local conditions where distresses have been for the eyes, the head, and from the resultant conditions of same, the nausea or nervousness over the system.
2. In the application of the Degnen lens or glass, these, as we find, will be much better for the body will there be at least two folds or just the binding or bandage cloth laid over same before the lens are used. Shorten the period of time, should these produce the irritation. Keep eyes closed during the period, lying perfectly quiet while taking the treatments, see? These should not be for longer periods than three to five minutes, especially in the beginning, and there should be less irritation. There NEEDS be this counter-irritation for the system, but not so MUCH as to produce headaches, to be sure.
3. Well for there to be used, at least twice each week, the scraped Irish potato, in the evenings, over the eyes - with the eyes, certainly, closed. A small amount of the scraped potato, and be sure these potatoes are at least of a year's growth - not NEW potatoes, for these would be harmful. Put this on in the evening. A cloth may be put over same, to be sure - with the potato scraped fine. Take this off in an hour or two hours and then the eyes - and the secretions as are thrown from same by the application - be bathed off with a weakened solution of an antiseptic that will cleanse same, see? Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Should own eyeglasses be continued? (A) These will be found - when the treatments are given to near completion - to be NEAR the proper glasses for the body. This can BEST be determined by the body with the USE of same, for we will STRENGTHEN the eyes for the glasses - but we do not wish to have the cylindrical mixture of the lens itself so as to DRAW or to produce irritation as the

body uses same. Best that the eyes be not used too much in poor light, or where there is a STRAINED light. Be sure the light is from the rear, or above - or so that it is over the left shoulder, see?
5. (Q) Should she try to work into the Bi-focals and music glasses? (A) These will be very good, but it will be seen that these will be very aggravating until the conditions of the eyes as a WHOLE are more near a normal condition; for with the changes being produced by the application, we are REMOVING the strains on same. Then, to produce strain on the nervous system by Bi-foccals that will cause a sudden change in the vision, will produce a NERVOUSNESS that will NOT be so well for the body.
6. (Q) Could body go without glasses except for close work? (A) Can, after we have taken these treatments!
7. That is all the questions regarding this body.
8. We are through with this reading.
