Time of Reading 3:35 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Indiana. (Check Physical by questions)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [5536]. This we have had before, and much improvement is shown in the physical conditions of this body.
2. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Do the osteopathic treatments work against the electrical ones, as suggested by Dr. E. P. Weist the electrical doctor? (A) They do NOT! There is as much necessity of the one as of the other. The functioning of each, as it - the treatment - is applied, is to function in a DIFFERENT manner, BUT to produce coordination in that to which the applications are given. For in the applying of the electrical vibration, these are necessarily rejuvenating the electrical forces of the body as is related to nerve energy of the system. While the manipulations, properly given, are to apply to that direction through which the rejuvenation of energy is directed, see?
4. (Q) Is the body over treated? (A) No. Not over treated, but not always properly treated - as has been given, the manipulations should be given gradually a little deeper, until the corrections, the lesions, are ENTIRELY loosed or relieved in the body. Those of the electrical forces may be overtaxing, when not properly applied, just as the other may be - but these should work in cooperation one with the other, to bring about the proper relations of the organs of the system, one with another.
5. (Q) What causes the soreness in the back when walking, or when getting on knees? Do the osteopathic treatments keep this trouble stirred up, as Dr. Weist thinks? (A) This has just been answered - No! When these are properly given, and they are properly coordinated one with another, BOTH are NECESSARY - or it wouldn't have been given!
6. (Q) Just what IS Swedish massage, as advised?

(A) That the muscular tissue and the nerve ends are kept in accord with that as is necessary for the proper functioning of limbs as related to centers of the plexus from which it receives its energy, and that the muscular tissue from each sinew - as is joined in each extremity, whether to the torso or to the extremity of the body - is rotated in such a manner as to alleviate every center through which the blood supply and nerve supply of that particular portion of the body circulates!
7. (Q) Give specifically what should be done or taken for that necessary stimulation in alimentary canal for eliminations, for the capillary, the lymphatic circulation, the respiratory system? Just how should these changes be made in diet and in manipulations or exercise? (A) These are asking for all in one! Just make them plain common sense, and then we will get back to the proper relations one with another! In the manipulations, osteopathically given, these are to coordinate with the exercises as is necessary for the emptying of first the colon, then the jejunum and the stomach - and this will carry on, will these be acted properly. That for treatments osteopathically. As to what treatments will be for the electrical forces, stimulate those from the 7th and 8th dorsal - as is necessarily known, or should be known, by such an applicator! These will also stimulate digestive forces of body, if electrical forces are applied in proper way and manner: While, as to diet, these have been outlined - those that are both nerve and blood building.
8. (Q) Is all meat still to be left out of the diet? (A) Those that are of nerve and blood building may be used in the proper coordination with the other properties as are given for the system. These - codliver, codliver oil, calf liver, or such - may be taken, as should be much of those that carry phosphorus and iodine.
9. (Q) What causes the ankles to swell? (A) Too much stimulation to central forces as related to electrical vibrations in same!
10. (Q) Just what is the improvement? (A) It's wonderful!
11. (Q) Give any advice as to diet and eliminations. (A) These have been given.
12. We are through for the present.
