  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here.

  2. Now, as we find, there has been the stress and strain upon the general physical forces of the body - through the mental and the material activities about the body. Yet the greater and better conditions would be brought for this body if there would be the adherence to the manipulative forces, the cleansing of the system occasionally through the colonic irrigations to prevent the accumulations that are caused by the non-adherence to the diets; by the use of red meats or too highly seasoned foods.

  3. Ready for questions.

  4. (Q) Any special adjustments or manipulative forces needed? (A) Only those that come from the general massage after the hydrotherapy activities for the body.

  5. (Q) What causes occasional pain around heart, and what should be done for it? (A) Keep the poisons from the colon and from the intestinal tract.

  6. (Q) What causes continued show of blood in rectum? (A) The strains, and the non-adherence to those things that have been indicated for the body.

  7. (Q) Is it correct for me to take beer and red meat only seldom? (A) The LESS the better!

  8. (Q) Please advise me how to strengthen my mental and physical equilibrium. (A) Through the application of those things as suggested, and through the less and less of antagonistic activity about the body; making for constructive forces in every manner.

  9. We are through with this reading.
