1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2436].
3. As we find, conditions continue to develop. Still, there are periods of overanxiousness about the final outcome.
4. There must be kept ALL of those applications as we have suggested for the body.
5. With just the corrective measures by the chiropractic adjustments, there will be required longer periods of treatment.
6. And we would not forget those influences that have been indicated, as for the spiritual and mental welfare and activity of those responsible for the body.
7. For, know, He it is that healeth all thine infirmities, all of thy sickness and thy diseases - as has been given of old. And it is by faith that ye are healed, and not of thyself. For it is the gift of God.
8. Then, be very patient, very persistent; forgetting not His promises nor all the benefits that may come through walking close with Him.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is there a detachment of the retina? (A) No, not a detachment. While the fluid that flows through the activity of the lens appears at times to be swimming in the fluid itself, this is the attempt - as is the tendency for the body to rub the eyes at times - for the body forces here to gradually adjust themselves to the physical force as may bring full vision. From the manner in which there is the response to light, or to shadow, there are indications that there is refraction - or some concept of vision.
11. (Q) Is the rubbing of her eyes harmful? (A) It is not harmful provided it does not scratch or injure the eye in the rubbing. Rather it is nature's means

for adjusting of the outflow from the ducts that wash or keep the eyes clean. Be sure to keep bathing with a mild antiseptic that will keep the eye clean. Do this at least twice each day, or oftener if there is a great deal of trouble.
12. (Q) Just how much vision does she have? (A) There's just the indication that there is refraction.
13. (Q) Have the treatments by the chiropractor been of any help at all? (A) As indicated, this will require a longer period, but they are naturally beneficial. We find it would be well to put these treatments farther apart and for the mother - at the time of the prayer daily - to do the massaging through the upper dorsals and through the cervical area. This would be good. Use Peanut Oil, when the mother does the massaging.
14. (Q) What can be done at this time to help her vision? (A) Continue with all of those things that have been suggested, consistently and persistently. Should it require even YEARS longer, it would be much more than worth it - for those making the applications, as well as for the opportunities offered to the body itself.
15. (Q) Her mental progress has been very slow due to the lack of vision. Is there anything we can do to help this condition? (A) This is not a lack of mental process, for it is very good. And she is developing equally as well as, and in keeping with all of that suggestion made to the body.
16. (Q) Of late she has been in the habit of banging her back against her chair, crib, or anything she leans against. I fear she will injure her back. How can we stop this? (A) Not necessary to stop it, but when this comes about rub the back. This is the attempt of the body itself, for it makes for that feeling of the need of the connection between the sensory forces and the cerebrospinal and sympathetic centers in that area of the neck and upper portion of the dorsal.
17. (Q) Any other advice at this time? (A) Do these, if we would keep the better forces for this body. And don't forget the prayer!
