Time of Reading 10:40 to 10:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.C. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes. (Should have been Dorothy.)
2. As we find, the basic disturbance would require the deeper activity into the ENTITY'S experience.
3. But we find that help, aid, may be brought for the body.
4. While the first apparent physical cause arose from infectious disturbance through the gastrointestinal tract, there has been left in the present a disturbance that makes for incoordinations through the activities of the body; through those actions of the lymph in its inability to function through the lacteal area, the caecum and those extensions in same to the ileum plexus. [Empyema according to doctors, we learned later: "Accumulation of pus in a cavity of the body, especially in the chest."]
5. These as we find, then, prevent the proper coordination with the voluntary and involuntary reactions; and thus the disturbances of the varied natures.
6. We find that those applications which would be made first would be through a low electrical force carrying elements into the system in such a nature as to vibratorially react with the GLANDS of the body. Thus there may be produced in the body's cycle of development in the physical reactions that which would bring greater activity to those portions where there has been such an adherence, such a lack of activity through locomotory centers, through the nerve forces and the muscular tissues. And thus gradually we may build for better conditions in the body.
7. Begin, then, with those applications of the Wet Appliance that would carry IN same - as direct through the body from the lacteal duct area - the solutions of Gold in the proportions of three grains to the liquid fluid ounce of distilled water. The copper plate would be attached to the 4th lumbar. The attachments would be made each day for thirty minutes, for a period of three to six weeks.
8. Then we would give further instructions.
9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Where should the other plate be attached? (A) As given, the copper plate should be attached first - at the 4th lumbar plexus. The larger nickel plate, carrying the Gold solution, should be attached last - over the lacteal duct and those portions of the umbilicus center in the right portion above the CAECUM area - or a portion of the gall duct, the lacteal duct, the umbilicus plexus. Do that. Then, in the period indicated we would give further instructions.
11. We are through for the present. Copy to Dr. [...] [Father] " " Ass'n file (4/7/36 GD's note: See letter [which was enclosed] with directions to H.H.R. Co. for preparing the Appliance suggested; also see article [which was enclosed] explaining the theory of such an Appliance.)
