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. While there is much here to be desired, the body is gradually showing improvements. It is a long way from being in full possession of all the physical and mental reactions. There would be a gradual diminishing of the phenobarbitol.
3. There are the needs for the greater amount of prayer and the gentle massage.
4. We would begin the use of the Castor Oil Packs over the abdomen. Afterward, as the massage is given, there will gradually be attained better use of the body-forces. To be sure the massage is objectionable to the body at times because of tenderness in the area of the curvatures in spine and because of the tendency for drawing the limbs, and from the unbalanced condition in the pelvic bone.
5. Do not attempt to stand the body on its feet too often. Let this activity be a natural result of the equilibrium being brought; for as this is accomplished there will be the attempt to stand or move in the direction of being more erect.
6. Do these and keep close to those applications suggested.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What can be done to induce natural bowel movements and overcome constipation? (A) This will be gradually accomplished by obtaining better activity through abdominal area, the liver, and the activity of the alimentary canal, by the use of the Oil Packs and massage - gently given.
9. (Q) Is there any physical abnormality of the intestines? (A) Only the effect of sedatives and the lack of natural flow of the lymph that is dried by same and the tendencies for adhesions through alimentary canal. These are not abnormalcies under the existent conditions but will require

very careful massage so that there is not too much strain given. The Oil Packs we would use at least two, three, four times a week, letting as much oil be absorbed as possible in this direction.
10. (Q) Is there any improvement mentally or physically not noticeable to us? (A) As indicated, there is a general improvement. Most of this is in the desires being created in the mental self by reflexes.
11. (Q) What causes her to fall into a deep unnatural sleep suddenly from which it is almost impossible to wake her? (A) As just indicated, the incoordination between the physical, mental and spiritual being. For it is the desire on the part of the mother that is even keeping the body alive.
12. (Q) When she breathes rapidly, then holds her breath, distending the abdominal wall, is she using this as a defense against pain? (A) The adhering through the abdomen. This is not bad for the body but it is bad for those who observe it.
13. (Q) The lower ribs protrude at all times. (A) This tends to dilate some, of course, and with the physical condition of the body it becomes more noticeable. This is not an abnormalcy.
14. (Q) The lips turn blue, she seems to be in a semi-conscious state following the repeated abnormal breathings. (A) All of these are those conditions arising from the circulation and the small quantity of blood rushing to the central nerve system and blood supply, leaving the superficial abnormalcy in the amount. Massage, of course, and suggestion, can keep the nearer to the correct reaction.
15. (Q) Are any foods responsible for the gas formation or mucous in the intestines? (A) As indicated, these arise from the lack of proper flow and distribution. No, those foods that are most easily assimilated, those nearer to being already predigested. These are the better foods for the body. The use of the Oil Packs and occasionally a small quantity of water used in an enema for the colon, so that it may be cleansed, would be most beneficial. This would relieve the tension, relieving the gas and removing the mucous.
16. (Q) Have any corrections as suggested in the reading been made? (A) Partially in some of the suggestions, but we should begin now as outlined, especially with the suggestion - you see, it has been more a matter of suggestion to the body, care, attention in love.

17. (Q) Has the treatment for the spinal curvature produced any relief to the body? (A) This has brought relief that should be kept up and mostly now by the use of the oils in the attempt to relieve tensions.
18. (Q) Are the treatments too severe? (A) Not too severe.
19. (Q) Should any adjustments be made to the neck osteopathically? (A) From the third cervical upward, yes.
20. (Q) Why does she usually object to even a simple massage of the legs and feet? (A) As indicated, the straining in the pelvis balance and this will gradually now be corrected.
21. (Q) Is it fear or pain she feels when I attempt to put her in a standing position? (A) Read what has been indicated as to how these should be allowed to be the natural results from the efforts of the body itself as it begins to improve. This is pain and fear.
22. (Q) Should she have the support of shoes at this time? (A) Not as yet.
23. (Q) One leg seems to be shorter than the other. Is this caused by a malformation of bone structure in the pelvic region, leg, or is it due to spinal curvature? (A) As just indicated, the balance in the pelvis.
24. (Q) What causes a periodic disturbance in the region of the vagina? (A) This is a portion of the alimentary canal tension or lesions, or adhesions. These will gradually diminish or be disseminated as the elasticity in regard to the bowel movement is brought to better improvement.
25. (Q) Should the oils suggested in the reading be used for the massages now? (A) As just indicated.
26. (Q) What can be done to reduce the thickened gum tissues? (A) The setting up of better drainages in the body. The circulation is above the diaphragm, hence it tends to thicken the activities above same. As these stresses and strains are removed this will become better. The changes in the circulation along the cervical areas will also relieve these tensions. For we must gradually create, by the massages and by the corrections, more normal reactions. As indicated, there is improvement but there's a long way to go. Coordination must gradually be established between impulses; that is, suggestions as they react upon the sympathetic system and the activity of the central nerve and blood supply - through the brain coordinating with lungs, heart, liver and kidneys.
