1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [5682] - this we have had before. As we find, there has been much improvement in the physical forces of the body, and while with this improvement we would find - without the interference of accidental or unseen conditions - the body would grow toward better normality, yet with conditions on the improve, were the applications made rather more consistent, we would find the improvements would be greater, and the final results much better.
2. In the manipulations, these would be well to be made - and, if the circumstances prevent these being carried in the exact manner, at least have one such treatment of the deep and corrective measure for same, then the one the next day rather of the general and of the nature as of a stimulation for the system; but not too deep corrective treatments immediately or the day after the other.
3. In those for the relief of those inclinations in the brachial centers, and that as causes more of the lung pressure and bronchial tickling, or asthmatic reaction, these - as long as relieved or aided by the inhalants - will be well to keep handy and to be used when there is an inclination for these spasmodic reactions to occur. These are, as seen, of the antiseptic nature, and will aid the system through this absorption by the inhalation of fumes and vibrations of same to clarify the blood and lung tissue, and to relieve those spasmodic conditions, or the tendency of the tissue to become over full from these pressures. As we will find, with the proper adjustments in the dorsal - upper dorsal and cervical area, and the general treatments, these will - with the age and development - gradually disappear.
4. We would find it well also to add at this time the

White's Cod Liver Oil Concentrated tablets, which will be effective in adding to the vitality of the system.
5. In the matter of the diet, beware that there are not too much of greases or of sweets. Starches, to be sure, at times will affect the asthmatic condition, but we would give these as an outline - though they may be changed occasionally for the satisfaction of the appetites and for the developing body:
6. Mornings - citrous fruit juices preferable to the pulp of the citrous fruits themselves, though this may be taken occasionally, and rather than adding sugar to same add pinches of salt until palatable, and preferably use the IODIZED salt in same. This may be altered with rice wafer or whole wheat toast, or Zwieback, with butter and honey, preferably honey in the honeycomb, with milk if desired. At other periods there may be given cereal, and preferably such as carries more of the necessary elements in the vitamins; as in oatmeal use the steel cut, and as is cooked for a long period of time and altogether cooked with its own steam, NOT cooked in open pan or boiler. As double boilers, for three to five hours this should be cooked. If of the dry cereal, the puffed wheat or puffed rice, or puffed corn - these are all well preserved as to their vitamins, but do not use cereal and the fruit juices, or citrous fruits, at the same meal - but they may be altered occasionally.
7. Noons - sandwiches that carry lettuce, tomatoes, with a salad dressing, and milk - or those easily digested, but do not give at this meal any jams, preserves or the like; preferably as much green vegetables as possible, under the circumstance. There may be used the yolks of eggs, but not the white, in sandwiches. Hard boiled and mashed and mixed with dressings, but not with any acid dressing as of vinegar or acetic acid, or pickles. It would be well at this period for the body to take a small dose of olive oil, just before the meals.
8. Evenings - all of the green vegetables that are well cooked, and a little amount of fowl, fish, liver, tripe, or the like. No hog meat, and especially no fats. (There may be prepared with the noon meal, or lunch, the shredded breast of fowl with the sandwich, or the like, but no ham, or the like). At the evening meal there may be also taken buttermilk, if fresh, or the Bulgarian milk. All of these would be well.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Shall we resume use of mullein as soon as it comes up? (A) This should be judged by the necessities of the condition. Should there be pains, or those inactivities of

the limbs, these are well - as these stupes will relieve and keep the alimentary canal working properly. For those of the cathartic or laxative nature, it would be well that occasionally there be used - as the dessert stewed figs, stewed raisins, or of the pieplant, or the like - but not too much sugar with any of these, though to make it palatable a little may be added. See? Be mindful that the alimentary canal is active each day, thoroughly.
