  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - [5491] - this we have had before. the body shows improvement, both in the physical and in the mental coordination of body. We should keep much of that as has been applied, allowing for reactions as should come from the constant dependence upon self and others dependent upon the body. Little by little, through the activities of those about the body, show dependence IN and dependence UPON the physical and mental abilities. Not through that of DEMANDS; rather through that as would be of aiding, abetting, individuals in physical AND mental activities, see? These are those conditions as need to be stimulated, as the physical body and the mental body coordinate the better. In at least five to six weeks the body should be NEAR normal.

  2. (Q) Give cause and treatment for severe pain in head, neck and eyes? also legs? (A) Most imaginative in the PRESENT conditions. These, however, may be assisted most by giving activities to the body as will cause the USE of the body’s physical and mental activities; though when pain is severe apply an oil pack, see? a mixture of turpentine, camphor and olive oil - see? equal parts. Heat it and apply to the cervicals - from the 5th to the base of the brain.

  3. (Q) How often osteopathic treatments? (A) About every other day, or every third day. Would be better were these given as a GENTLE treatment two, then the third treatment a FULL deep treatment all over.

  4. That is all the questions regarding this body.

  5. We are through with this reading.
