1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Very serious, very sad conditions exist here.
3. As we find, much that was intimated in the beginnings with this body, when we first had same here, has come about; partially by neglect, partially by the lack of the applications consistently of those influences which were indicated would be the correct as well as curative forces for the body.
4. In the present, we find there is the indication of the breaking down of the impulses through the nerve force itself; thus producing a deteriorating force in nerve tissue, thus softening the impress of the influences of locomotion as for activity of mental forces - through the coordinating centers of body as well as the sensory system.
5. These as we find may YET be aided, IF there would be a CONSISTENT and persistent application of influences which would turn the activity of that assimilated through the channels of the glandular forces as relate to nerve building.
6. Thus the impulses would be stimulated for improvement of the white and gray matter, as it were, in the nerve and brain centers, or circulation, to replenish rather than allowing to become in such a nature that the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic becomes either blocked entirely or becomes atrophied in portions and thus a softening which would become the LACK of ability to produce coordination through the system.
7. These, as has first been indicated, arise from conditions of an infectious genital organ nature; gonorrheal in its
631-8 Page 2
nature. This was first indicated in the form or matter as produced in the arthritic reaction, as well as in the early stages - as viewed from here - when there were sores, as well as the infectious forces through the system.
8. In the present, we find there may be much more accomplished if there will be used the nature of sedative that does not break down the coordination of sympathetic and cerebrospinal impulses, rather than the use of hypnotics that DO break down the coordination.
9. Also we would use the low electrical vibratory forces that are very low in their impulse but high in their vibratory forces - as through the Wet Cell Appliance carrying to the body the effect of Gold - as was first indicated. The Gold Solution used in the Appliance would be in the proportions of two grains Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water; and there should be used four and a half to five ounces of the Solution in each charge of the Appliance - that would be renewed every fifteen days.
10. The attachments to the body would be made each day, for twenty to thirty minutes, as follows: The small copper plate would be attached to the 9th dorsal center, while the larger nickel plate - through which the Gold Solution passes - would be attached to the umbilicus and lacteal duct center.
11. Also each evening, when the body is prepared for rest, there would be a massage with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh - from the base of the brain to the end of the spine, ALONG the spinal system.
12. With these, we may find there may be gradually left off the sedatives - and this we would do as fast as is practical; but using, as indicated, the bromide or of such nature rather than the hypnotic will be the more beneficial.
13. We should see results very soon, or within three to four weeks, if these are applied. Without these, we will find periods of lack of coordination, melancholia, the gradual breaking up of the better coordination, and eventually not only muscular but nerve atrophy - in its coordination between the impulses and the brain or cord itself.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is the present mental condition of the body related directly or indirectly to the original condition of the body as described in past Readings? (A) Related indirectly to the first condition. The condition existing, you see, was from infectious forces; affecting the very nature of creative energies or forces of the body - which in its inception IS the activity of gonorrheal conditions, see? Then it affected the blood

supply in such a manner that many of the glandular forces of the body became DIRECTLY disturbed through same. This breaking then the coordination between impulse of the mental forces, or brain center itself, and the sympathetic or the sensory forces, brought about the nerve collapse in RESPONSE of one impulse to another.
16. (Q) Under the present condition of the body in the Rockland State Hospital, what can be done to improve her condition in order to obtain release to follow other treatments? (A) This will have to be cared for either through that of research in such directions, or the obtaining of a release through the use of same as a research case.
17. (Q) Where should subsequent treatments be administered? (A) Under the direction of one wherever the place may be chosen, that would be in sympathy with not only the physical and mental condition but with the general research that may be found in such conditions.
18. (Q) What are the possibilities for recovery for this body, and what will be the time required if treatments are followed? (A) It would require from nine months to a year for such improvements to be made that the GROWTH through assimilation and nerve and body-building would have sufficient opportunity for the cycle of its change in the body itself.
19. (Q) Would it be wise to visit the patient frequently? (A) That is dependent upon the MANNER and in which way the applications are made. If they are from the purely mechanical sense of direction, not very well to visit. If they are from a constructive angle and for a spiritual concept of the body as related to the UNIVERSAL forces, it would be very well.
20. (Q) Are there any suggestions for improving, clothes, diet or treatment by attendants? (A) Necessarily these will necessitate changes - or then the regular routine in the present environs.
21. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. [1793], ..., Special Delivery " " Ass'n file le
