Time of Reading In his office at 10:50 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., New York City.
1. GC: You will answer the questions he has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2772]; this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is golf too strenuous an exercise for me? (A) No; if this is taken in an even stride and not too tiring - that is, taking too long periods at same - golf is very good for the body.
5. (Q) What is this rash on my body? (A) This is the attempt of the system to adjust itself to those changing conditions of the body - or as a heat, or the acids being eliminated through the perspiratory system rather than through the alimentary canal or the ordinary channels. This, with the change in temperature, and with keeping the body fit, will disappear.
6. (Q) Can four or five weeks elapse between the first series of treatment and the second? (A) At least five or six weeks should elapse. For, the body shows improvements, but there will be the tendencies - to be sure - for a reverting, as indicated in the conditions in the deeper circulation; though many of the conditions were, as indicated, still in their incipiency or beginnings. Hence the rest period and the body taking a nominal amount of exercise, and keeping close to the diets and those things the body knows to keep in physical fitness, will be helpful. Then after five to six weeks we would take the entire course again.
7. (Q) What precautions of diet should I follow and what especially should I eliminate from my diet, if at all? (A) Any of those things made with carbonated water or hops, and that carry too much of starches or sweets - these should be the things eliminated. The diet in most instances since last we had the body has been very good. It would be well to keep in that way.

8. (Q) Should I make the Jerusalem artichoke a part of my diet all year round? (A) It is better that this be taken occasionally; that is, take it for five or six weeks, and then leave off for a like period. It is more effective when taken in this manner.
9. (Q) Do I work too many hours per day at the office? (A) This depends upon circumstance. As we find, there are TIMES when the body overtires itself to the detriment of the better physical forces, but the normal hours are very well. Just don't overtire self, or work under too great a strain.
10. (Q) How many hours of sleep do I require to be thoroughly rested? (A) Seven and a half to eight hours should be the normal amount for this body.
11. (Q) Should I start taking my vitamins now? If so, what combinations? (A) As we find, the Vitamins B or the B-1 Complex - and this includes, of course, a little iron - but not too much.
12. (Q) I have been taking a medicine to regulate my metabolism and glandular function. Should I continue taking them? (A) This as we find will not work so well with those normal changes that are being wrought by the change in the body-functionings.
13. (Q) Describe exercises for me as mentioned in first Rdg. (A) A walking exercise, and the general setting up exercise - that above the waist of mornings (arms, etc.), and that below the waist of evenings. These are the preferable ones for the body.
14. (Q) Would it be advisable to try to eliminate the prominent veins on my legs by injection? (A) We would NOT. Do this rather by the normal activities as will be had through portions of the hydrotherapy treatments.
15. (Q) Would surgical interference which would eliminate some of the veins, and ligate others, be a good treatment? (A) We would not advise such. This would only make for hardships in other directions.
16. (Q) What caused me to become nauseous Thursday night July 30th, so that I had to get up to vomit? (A) Something taken in the meal that was of a foreign nature. This was not other than the system taking care of itself.
17. (Q) What is present physical condition, and any other advice? (A) As has just been indicated, there is shown quite an improvement. And when there has been the rest period, with the precautions in between, we would repeat the suggested treatments. And we should find the body then in very good condition -
