1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now we find the conditions in this body are keeping well in line with the conditions as may be expected as have been outlined. There are some conditions that apparently are not as good in the body as has been heretofore. We find these are in reality better, for the breaking up of the condition, if they will only be kept now so the body will eliminate through the proper channels and so drive this condition out of the system, and not allow ligaments or tissue to become involved in the shifting of conditions in the system. We first began with the localizing, now we begin again with the distribution and elimination entirely from the system. Keep those conditions for the same forces in this body, and the developing of the body and entity will show the improvement for this body. Keep well in mind the attitude that must be kept in these on which the entity depends.
2. (Q) Could the atropine be taken internally instead of being injected and would it be as beneficial to the system? (A) Not altogether. With the shifting of the conditions this may be effective if smaller quantities are given, and the closer together of the dose. The condition of the treatment to the body for the system to eliminate or assimilate so the elimination will become proper will have to be changed, that is, the osteopathic forces, if taken internally, that is, the action on the system taken internally reaches through the pneumogastric nerve center and all plexuses governed or controlled either directly or sympathetically must be kept in unison, or we will have the abrasions to collect in such centers, which would be detrimental and become of such nature as to involve a different tissue entirely, that is, the centers in the 9th, 10th, 11th dorsal must be so manipulated as to give the distribution through the same gland forces of the - lymphatic circulation as would be received through injection. This may be changed in this manner: To be taken

internally, but the treatment by the osteopathic forces must be changed also.
3. (Q) Would it be to any advantage to administer a smaller dose of atropine more frequently, say 1/500th of a grain each day? (A) Take that internally if you did do that, or it may be massaged with other ingredients into the system, so as to give some benefit through that, with a solution that would be made of the Plantain as is being used; as a lotion, make into the salve or lotion with other ingredients, and this mixed and rubbed into the groin, abdomen and armpits.
4. (Q) Is 1/500 of a grain too much? (A) No.
5. (Q) Is it enough? (A) Be enough.
6. (Q) Should the weekly six hours electric treatments be spread over or given at one application? (A) Be better if given in three.
7. (Q) What other ingredients should be used with the atropine when mixed with the Plantain root? (A) Mixed with the jelly of the seed of Plantain and root with Oil of Butterfat and massaged in the groin, the abdomen, the armpits where the circulation picks it up. This, of course, has its drawbacks, as the condition of - the system will not always absorb the same amount, but this may be rendered of service when the elimination does not carry as perfect in system as should.
8. (Q) As this body cannot eat solid foods on account of its teeth being loose, what should be given and how? (A) The same prepared in a liquid form, so that it may be taken. Doing very well with the diet. We didn't raise any objections. We didn't find any. Keep the mental attitude better towards the body between the two, you see.
9. (Q) Would it be too much if the atropine be injected and taken internally also? (A) Only one way, either internally or injected. If the change is made as we have outlined with the osteopathic manipulation, take internally, if it is not going to be injected. There may be assistance if massaged. This, we would only do under extreme cases, just as we have here about any place or abrasion, if massaged gently with this lotion of the atropine, it will have its effect on the lymphatic circulation. This is condition to overcome, then eliminate through the system, why the osteopathic manipulation and vibration. Do as we have given. Keep the mental attitude,
3751-16 Page 3
as we have given. Do not worry the developing forces within the individual or entity. Keep it as pleasant for the body as possible until physical and mental changes are shown.
10. (Q) Have the last three osteopathic manipulations been better than the previous ones? (A) In part, yes. Not altogether. Keep the ones, as we have outlined to produce the assimilation and elimination, especially at the 11th, 10th, 9th dorsals. Stimulate the 5th, 6th and 7th dorsals, relaxing the liver. They may be so stimulated by manipulation as to produce elimination, or be so laxed or relaxed to produce overstimulation. Follow this. These as in a whole, better.
11. (Q) Would it be better if this body be placed in a hospital to be taken care of or should it be under the care of its mother, as now? (A) Better of the mother, but do not depend on the mother altogether. The father should help and do his part also. The mental attitude toward the child must have its effect and does.
12. (Q) Just what do you mean by the attitude of the mother and father? (A) The assistance that each mind together may render to the child, when if they are cross as they have been, it will produce the crossness of the child. Both will understand, if they will do it. [GD's note: The father would go on drinking sprees, I heard, and at such times was very inconsiderate, making it very difficult for both his wife and child.]
