1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and give me the physical conditions at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.

3. Now, we find there are many changes in the physical conditions of this body at the present time from that as we have had here before. While there are weaknesses in the nerve system, in the whole tension of the functioning of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerves, and through same the vitality and strength of the body seems gone; yet we find that, with care and attention, there may be builded into the body a strong physical body, and this only needs care and attention in this way and manner:

4. No medicinal properties or drugs of any character or nature.

5. There needs to be the care of the diet, for those conditions as necessary for the BUILDING of blood, of strength, of vitality, of muscle; and air, sand, water. These are needed more for the body than any other condition - sunshine and shadows. The body needs to get CLOSE to nature, with nature's curers - as will be found in sand, sunshine, water, woods; and the body with this kind of food - of NOT the highly seasoned, but that of the nutritious nature. Fish, fowl, and much vegetable; celery, lettuce, and the spring - or the vegetables green as much as possible. Corn bread (not white bread), whole wheat bread. Such natures as this, and we will find, in three to four weeks, with such care of self, such taking of sunshine baths, of sand baths, of walks in wood, of communing with nature, and of introspection of self and duty to self and that owed to mankind and to God, through the efforts of the individuals themselves, there will be brought strength, power, force, vitality. Do that.

6. We are through with this reading.
