Time of Reading 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [261] - this we have had before. Now, we find conditions in many respects show improvements from that as we have had before, while there are times and occasions when there is uneasiness and distress experienced by the body through the accumulation of poisons in the system from those points where infection has been seen in and through the intestinal system, as has been outlined.

2. These, as we find, then, produce that of a neuritis or a nerve pressure in the shoulder, neck, arm, and limbs at times. These, as we find, will be better in accord will there be kept better eliminations as related to the alimentary canal, and that the diet is such that there is less acid forming in the system. These will prevent accumulation of gases that make for pressure. In this line, we will find that the diet as was outlined would be well to be followed rather closely. Take the TIME to be mindful of that as is eaten; also the time for the exercises sufficient to keep the circulatory system in a better shape.

3. Good acting forces with the conditions will be the Milk of Magnesia one day, a spoonful - the next day a spoonful (tablespoon) of Milk of Bismuth, and the next day one Alophen tablet. This, as we find, will keep the condition in a nearer normal force; that is, these should be taken for regular periods - three to four doses of each, then REST for same length of time.

4. Well, too, for the body to use occasionally the charcoal tablets - preferably those prepared by the Battle Creek Sanitorium, or the willow charcoal with the honey and honeycomb. This, as we find, will relieve that tendency of gas pressure.

5. It would also be well to occasionally take an intestinal antiseptic - the Glyco-Thymoline, three to five drops at a dose. Once a week will be sufficient.

6. Keep the osteopathic manipulative forces as make for a coordination of the whole cerebrospinal nervous reflexes with the general system as related to the eliminations of the body, making same for a better coordination throughout the system.

7. Occasionally, too, it would be well - once a month, or twice a month - to use the Infra Red light. This should be given FOLLOWING the sweats and rubdowns, that tend to increase the capillary circulation. These will make for bettered conditions for the body of [261]. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Is there any change in condition of hip and foot? (A) Bettered.

9. (Q) What amounts of uric acid and urea are now in the blood? (A) These alter according to the diet and the activities, mentally, of the body. These at the PRESENT time are not as severe as they have been - some days ago; for the eliminations have been increased some. With the present state in system, in two or three days - unless change is made - we will have another siege, or a raising of these in the blood. [See emergency Rdg. 261-4 on 11/21/30.]

10. (Q) Is treatment for dandruff [261-2, Par. 9-A] being properly used and should any tonic be used between weekly shampoos? (A) These would be very good, if you will keep them up consistently and persistently! [See 261-9, Par. 31-A—35-A.]

11. (Q) May any treatment be given for congestion in nose and sinus? (A) These, as we find, will be best aided by the use of the lights, as indicated, and by the sweats with the rubs following; that is, for the BASIS of the condition. Should the irritation become so severe in the nose or sinus to cause excruciating pain, be well to use an antiseptic locally for same; rather than curative forces - and let the system ITSELF be the active force as for resuscitation of life tissue in the system.

12. (Q) How much and what kind of exercise should be taken? (A) As much in the open as is consistent with the life of the body, or MORE than is ORDINARY under such circumstances.

13. (Q) What are conditions and further treatment of digestive system? (A) As has been outlined!

14. That is all the questions regarding this body.

15. We are through with this reading, [261].
