Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)
-
EC: Yes. We have the body here, [528].
-
Now as we find, while there is still much to be desired, the body is on the improve.
-
These are conditions as we find to be reckoned with in the present, and these the applications that are the better for the body in the present:
-
As we find the manipulations have been very good. These may be put a little farther apart, but should be kept up as yet; say three in each two weeks for another six, or four to six weeks; then we would give the further instructions regarding these.
-
There must be, as we find, care in the manner of the adjustments and manipulative measures. For, contrary to the ORDINARY conditions, we find in the upper dorsal, and even through the cervical areas, the inclinations for the segments to be far apart rather than close together. And this tends to make for leakages; or too easily does the body - or those portions of same - become influenced by the impulses that arise through those portions of the body from which there is not the tension. Hence this achey condition, or the hurting or the feeling of a full flow.
-
While we find in the lumbar and through the sacral area a tendency of tightness. THIS makes for that inclination, now, from which there are the inclinations of a FLUSHING; that is, in the circulation, to the lower portions of the body.
-
Hence in the manipulations these would be not so much MOVEMENTS of the segments as to stimulate the muscular forces along the side of the spine and following the nerve ends - or nerve branches FROM those portions to their extremities in the body. Whether this becomes those that come along the sides of the body, those that dilate to a portion of the arm, or those that are stimulated in the lower portion to the lower limbs.
-
These we find (that is, the manipulations) would be under the knees to the lower portion of the limbs and the feet. All of these would be stimulated. While those from the upper portion would be merely a circular motion with not so much of a depression but to stimulate the flow of impulses BACK to the body as well as FROM the body.
-
Then we would continue with the use of the low electrical vibrations. These we find are well, and in the manner as has been taken; but keep the plates clean.
-
As to the building properties for the system, we would take the Halibut Oil with the other properties with same, about twice a day. Take these rather, though, in series. Take them for three weeks at a time. Then leave off entirely for a week. Then begin again.
-
Keep the outdoor exercise as much as possible; that is, in keeping with the weather and the general conditions, of course.
-
We do NOT find that it has been injurious to the body for the activities in association or connections with others. Yet it will be necessary, in the activities as for lessons and practice, that the body NOT become OVERANXIOUS or fretted by the activities of others. Rather before or when this would occur, walk out in the open, take a circle around for five or ten minutes, and then commence all over again. But be constructive in the thought during those periods.
-
And keep the mental attitudes!
-
In the diets, these have been very well. Keep them in the way as has been indicated.
-
We find, as there are those disturbances from the eliminations at times, it would be well to vary the laxatives that may be taken. Vary the Yeast with weight - or the Psyllium; this will be found to be helpful. This is not too irritating to the system and will keep down that inclination for the forming of gas when there has been a little undue exercise. When the Psyllium is taken (and this about once a day for a few days, then leave this off and take the Yeast again for a few days, and then change - but when the Psyllium is taken), prepare same five or ten minutes before the meal is to be taken, and take WITH the meal and not alone. Preferably take it with a cereal or such natures. These are the better for this PARTICULAR activity for this body.
-
Do these and as we find we will continue with the improvements for this body, [528].
-
Ready for questions.
-
(Q) Is halibut oil with viosterol the same as haliver oil? [The druggist told me it was.] (A) As has been indicated, it is NOT.
-
(Q) What causes soreness over bowels and intestines? (A) As indicated, from the variations in the conditions in the cerebrospinal system. Too easily are the impulses active through the segments in the upper portion, and a tautness in the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. This makes for a slowing up then of impulses through the upper digestive system. Hence the variations in the manipulations, as indicated, as well as the character of eliminants for the body.
If there is the feeling at times that there is an over-quantity of gas, or a feeling of fullness, especially of evening, take a couple of tablets of Pyrosan.
-
(Q) Should I continue the Olive Oil rubs following the Appliance? (A) These we would continue.
-
(Q) Should I continue the Liver Extract? (A) We would continue the Liver Extract.
-
(Q) Has the work at the Church hindered my progress? (A) As indicated, this as we find has NOT hindered but rather helped.
But DO NOT overtax self to where it becomes nerve racking, or the body becomes overanxious. Take a walk in the open when such begins to occur.
- We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up
R1. 11/4/37 “I guess you think I didn’t appreciate the last rdg. by being so long about writing you. I have just been so busy that I haven’t found time and I’m writing now while my best beau is here. “I have had two terrible spells of indigestion in the last 3 wks. and lost 5-6 lbs. but since I am able to eat again I am gaining it back. I am very careful about the food I eat so I didn’t know what caused it. Dr. Beard said she thought it was nervous indigestion. Last Sun. at church my hands perspired so freely I could hardly hold them on the keys. I had the last spell of indigestion Fri. and Sat., then this happened on Sun. I was ready to give up. My hands still perspire at times but not as much as they did Sun. I had those two spells when I was tired, so maybe it was nervous indigestion. They told me at Mayo’s that was the only thing wrong with my stomach.
“I am holding this flesh since I started back to work - between 140 and 144. I’m really proud of it, too. If I could get these nerves to doing right and this aching to leave, I guess I wouldn’t have anything to grunt about.
“In the Bulletin [9/37] I saw where you were preparing a case report on my illness. I didn’t know you called it tuberculosis of the blood. [528-3 on 1/14/37 called it tuberculosis of the blood.] I have been scared to death since I read that. I thought I had scleroderma. That doesn’t sound as bad as tuberculosis, even though I am getting over it. You have scared me to death. I’m afraid to do a thing, so afraid it will come back on me. Every time I sneeze I know I am getting the flu. I do have a slight cold.
“I have never been able to get the Pyrosan tablets. I’m taking everything else you told me to except that.
“Dr. Beard said Tues. when she gave me a tr. that she could tell a very slight change in the segments - they were a little closer together. She said the reason I tired so easily was from nervous exhaustion.
“I sure was sorry you didn’t take me off of the oil rubs. I know I needed them, though, so I should not complain. I have skipped a few because I just didn’t have time to take them. I have skipped only a few, though - every Sunday, of course.
“I am trying to get well harder than I am working, so don’t think I am falling down on my job with you. A woman told me last night that it made her feel good to see me at the organ every Sun. She thought my recovery was a marvel.
“[1352] is getting along fine. I never saw a girl try so hard in my life. She is a lovely girl and I thoroughly enjoy her.”
R2. 12/3/37 She submitted questions.
R3. 12/7/37 Mother [865] wrote: “We are all very sure that [528] is overworking and have tried every way to persuade her to give up a part of the work at least, but we have not succeeded. She tires so easily and is compelled to rest about every 2-3 hrs… I’m sure she will do just what you say, and she will not listen to us.”
R4. 12/8/37 Wire verifying appointment: “Will sunshine lamp help aching? Shall I continue battery, Ventriculin? Is improvement satisfactory?”
