1. GC: You will have before you Pharmaceutical Preparations, Health Room Equipment, Incorporated, and the help it and our Association may derive from Mrs. [2502] of ... Street, ..., Michigan, or her son or young Burress.

2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions as at present present themselves regarding preparations, health room, and individuals as they themselves or through the association with those of the Association may benefit, or good may arise from such association or connection. Much may be given. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) What can Mrs. [2502] or her son or young Burress do to be of help in matters of Health Room equipment or the Association or the Hospital? (A) This depends a great deal upon the personal application of the Forces with which the individuals endowed. Mrs. [2502] may be of assistance to individuals in hospital, or may aid in experimentation and application of those that may be interested in health room. In the abilities of her son, these had best be used in other directions for the good of the Association or Health Room, as would Burress.

4. (Q) How can we test Mrs. [2502]'s helpfulness? [As metaphysical assistant?] (A) Usefulness, would be better. In the operation of various elements as respecting the health room equipment much aid may be had from her ABILITIES, would the application of the FORCES manifested be applied only. These should be tested more thoroughly individually. Then better attitude may be had by the individual for helpfulness and usefulness.

5. (Q) Should she come to Virginia Beach? (A) Very good way in which to test the application of forces manifesting through that body, and in personal application TO an one may the better status quota be gained.

6. (Q) What difficulties might arise from her association with us? (A) These may be better judged by the personal application.

Just as in other lines this is done. THIS, then, would enable the health room equipment to be quickly distributed, and on an economic basis, much sooner even a PAYING basis, aiding (Don't lose sight of that) AIDING individuals in the prevention of distresses, see?
