1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5655] - this we have had before. The conditions are much improved in the general physical forces of the body from that as we have had here before. With the applications as have been made, these have been very, very good for the physical forces. There are at times too much strains made upon the body to KEEP an equal BALANCE in the system while those corrections are BEING made, or the activities of the muscular forces with the nerve energies are being renewed. These make for the tired conditions, and these may produce, unless better CONDITIONS arise - or eliminations are kept normal - later, so that there would be a constitutional, or what may be termed weather barometer would the body become. WE would not overtax the body after treatments have been given, see? We would rest, but we would have specific exercises that make for the activities of the whole of the muscular system, in a manner that will keep a normal balance. Would the body take those exercises very much as the cat or the dog STRETCHES, when arising from sleep, about two or three times each day, these would be VERY beneficial. These may be taken so GENTLY that there is the ACTIVITY given TO the system, that are INCENTIVED by those vibrations both in the electrical and in the manipulations as are being applied. We should find, another two to three weeks - with this exercise taken, and precautions taken as to not UNDOING that as being done, by too quick exercise, that the body should be able to go back to work!

2. (Q) Is it too much for body to drive himself from Norfolk after the treatments? (A) This if OFTENTIMES too much. Be best that someone else do driving. Not that the body become lazy, because it isn't lazy if the activities, or the physical forces, are near normal. Don't WORRY about it - just do it and know it's got to be done!

3. (Q) Are treatments being given correctly? (A) If they hadn't, we would have told you about it!

4. (Q) What causes the soreness in the hip? (A) A centralization of one portion where there has been more of the drawing away from than in others. This, as we find, will be improved as eliminations are kept, see, a little above normal.

5. (Q) What should be done to increase eliminations? (A) If you'll take these stretches, these will help? Take them gently, but THOROUGHLY - take time to DO IT! It will require anywhere from ten to fifteen, to twenty minutes - arms, limbs, back, shoulders, hips, legs and knees - and ALL, see? Best to do it as on the floor or on a bed. When it's necessary for increased eliminations, we would take those of the Castoria, and added with this when taken - SMALL quantities of Syrup of Figs - see? Take the Castoria as it is prepared, but when the body goes to take a dose - which, with this body, in taking it, we would take at least a TEASPOONFUL of Castoria three to five drops of Syrup of Figs - see? The change, or difference in these - Senna, the active principle, or the eliminant in the Castoria, acts directly upon the gastric forces of the system, while the Figs will act with those of the lower hepatic circulation, aiding - WITH those other compounds - to make for a better eliminant in the kidneys.

6. That is all the questions regarding the body.

7. We are through with this reading.
