3. Now, we find the general physical conditions of the body are very good, as the mental equilibrium of the body is very good. Those conditions as have been given for the body, as in reference to the teeth, and that condition as regarding same, should be attended to, for we find this needs attention. We would remove same, for we will find this gradually becoming longer and causing much trouble, with the accumulation of poison or pus, and its dissemination in the system will prove detrimental, especially to the digestion of the body, which is easily upset by the way and manner the body treats self, as respects to same, see?

9. (Q) How often should the Listerine be used? (A) Twice a week.

10. (Q) Should the body travel for new business this month? (A) April and May.

11. (Q) What is the best plan for the body to follow for best business for the next 60 days? (A) After the next 15, we would travel for some, see?

12. (Q) Is the body progressing as it should? (A) The body progressing very good. Should be content - not satisfied with it.

13. (Q) What would make him more successful? (A) Get married. Take on more responsibilities. He will find them in that! [See 257-10 Life Rdg. Reports.]

14. (Q) Any further information that will be of assistance to this body, either physically, mentally, or regarding the business relations? (A) There may be much said or given. These, as have been asked, very good, and there has been fully OUTLINED those conditions NECESSARY for the body to make the success for self, mentally, spiritually, morally, and financially. Then why insist? FOLLOW those, and INSIST on keeping self in that path.

15. We are through for the present.
