1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, conditions are not so satisfactory. Yet as we find, if there is the response to the applications being made - these, as indicated, offer the greater opportunity for allaying, staying the conditions from progressing in the system.
3. As has been indicated, in times back, the applications then made were not only allaying but were ACTIVATIVE towards curative forces. But with the sudden change by exertion that made for the BREAKING of some cellular force, this allowed the spreading of the infectious forces to greater areas; and thus has caused the greater disturbance in the present.
4. Then, as we find, as to how long, as to how staying - this will depend upon the quiet of the body and the ability of the activities without too much burning to cause infectious forces or areas to prevent their bleeding too much.
5. However, there will be periods when there will be a flow - and if this is kept, and there is kept in the system conditions that will allow for the better coagulation, such periods of course ease and prolong the experience.
6. These then are the conditions. These as we find in the present are the better manners for caring for same.
7. Precautions - DO NOT BURN TISSUE TOO MUCH!
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Has it extended to the bowel and urinary tract? (A) Not as YET, though the pressure upon same - or there are areas where the retention of urine through the bladder causes great pain - but this is sympathetic and not the extending as yet into the functioning area of the bladder or the urinary canal. As we find, almost the whole area of the uterus is infected

but it has been stayed. If there is the ability, then, for the stoppage of flows that occur at times, or hemorrhage, you see - and to keep these so applied or so stayed that these do not spread over other areas - the condition may be checked.
10. (Q) Was it some exertion of the body itself that brought the turn for the worse? (A) Of the body, as indicated; a strain.
11. (Q) Will the X-Ray be successful? (A) This cannot be told. As indicated, it offers the greater opportunity of raising such high voltage as to destroy the live or active bacilli. What is to be feared most is when hemorrhages occur, or breaking where areas are NOT entirely stopped, by the EFFECT of the X-Ray - or that there is such a QUANTITY of the X-Ray as to produce scar tissue and THIS cause hemorrhage, see? Then as to how long - it depends upon how efficient are the applications of the X-Ray; not only in treating the areas but in NOT the usage so long as to burn or destroy tissue and thus cause the active forces of the body to break by the very staying in tissue that would produce inactivity of the muscular forces - or the activity of the system through the areas of the organs that necessarily function in the pelvic area.
12. (Q) They are giving her half an hour of X-Ray about every other day. (A) These, as has been given, must be judged by those making the application WATCHING the condition and acting with the best interests of the entity in respect to same. There is this fear; though with this PARTICULAR activity, these are very good - at TIMES, with the variation in current, some of the rays become more penetrating than others. This then again depends upon the operator of the X-Ray treatments.
13. (Q) Why doesn't Dr. McAlpine operate? (A) As indicated, this has extended to such a wide area that it is infectious in itself, and thus with the operation would be futile until it may be localized more.
14. (Q) Any other suggestions that may be given that will help? (A) These as we have indicated are the better as we find in the present.
15. We are through for the present. Copy to [480] - Special " " Ass'n file
