Time of Reading 4:00 to 4:15 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [457], who is at ... St., New York City, in regard to the reason for the mental and physical condition of her aunt [...] [father [378]'s sister] who died January 6, 1938, and whether the women in the family are more subject to it, [insanity] and just what precautions should be taken by either sex to combat it. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [457]; and those conditions mentally, physically, as surrounded the physical and mental forces of the aunt, [...].
3. In giving information that may be a determining factor in such conditions, there is little need of giving the histology of the conditions as relate to the body of [...], or of those in the immediate family of [457]. These are known.
4. As to what is produced in the body-forces, these have been rather well covered in the physical readings as indicated for a member of the family. [See 457-4 on 2/9/39.]
5. One of the sexes is not more subject than the other. And the injection of new blood will soon change the whole situations - or in ONE generation, though it may skip and enter the next.
6. The condition is, as indicated there, the number of positive units about the center of the atomic force as related to procreation; and this - as is used in body-building when there is the age or the certain environs as to cause or produce a deteriorating or lack of activities in the procreation of the atoms for its re-creation - brings about a lack of those elements as we have indicated. [Rh. factors?]
7. Hence the active forces that create those in body-structure of the natures which add to the nerve plasm, or the gray matter in same, would be the corrective measures; as may be had by the vibratory influence of Gold

or Silver - dependent upon that found to be lacking in the blood plasm.
8. It would not be necessary that ANY have more than one such test, IF there is then ADDED, through such a vibratory means or manner, [Wet Cell Appliance?] those hormones that would bring a normal balance for the cycle of procreative forces.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Should the blood test be made by any or all members of my family? (A) Only if there is the desire for procreation.
11. (Q) Should tests be made at definite intervals? (A) As we have indicated, only once in necessary IF those proportions of the influences necessary are added to bring a normal balance.
12. (Q) Could my brother [452] affect his wife or children in any way? ["He is thinking of getting married."] (A) Should not - if there are the precautions, or if there are the activities such as to bring that balance necessary in the whole system. There's NO affectation!
13. (Q) Is my brother [282]'s case anything similar? Has he inherited anything, or has he a similar blood condition? (A) Read what has been given respecting this in times past! The warnings were given - they were NOT heeded! [See 282-1 on 6/10/30 and 282-8 on 7/6/38.]
14. (Q) What precautions should be taken in the case of [282]'s children? [[299] & [314]] (A) These should NOT be affected. No precaution necessary here.
15. (Q) In the women of the family, would menstrual troubles or childbirth cause it to develop? (A) Not necessarily.
16. (Q) Was my aunt's case mental due to physical condition? (A) To this deterioration as has been indicated.
17. (Q) Has [282] inherited anything from her, or has he a similar blood condition? (A) Read that which has been given as to the warnings here, - this is much better than to approach from the mental attitude of this body, [457]. [See 282-1 on 6/10/30 recommending the Wet Cell Appliance.]
18. (Q) Any further advice to this body? (A) Do not dwell upon such. Be sure there is at all times sufficient Vitamin B in the diet, as well as with the blood test if found deficient in the procreative plasm then add same through the vibratory forces of Gold.
19. We are through for the present.
