1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1387], this we have had before, you see.
3. While at times there appears to be some improvement at others it is not so well.
4. As we find, the seat or the cause of the trouble has not been reached as yet.
5. There is in the present a form of anemia. This characterization has much to do with the digestive system, as we find in the present, and produces a form of headache that arises from a condition in which the blood appears to produce pricks, or a buzz, along the nervous system. The effect is in the reflexes from the brain, and the source or nature of these is in the poisons from this toxic force.
6. This as we find is the condition in the present.
7. The applications as indicated in the massage and corrections have NOT been in keeping with those administrations suggested.
8. The effect of the light, and the kind of electrical force, has at times been beneficial. It has at others been of a nature as to cause irritation rather than to allay or help the general condition.
9. Then, while it may appear that those applications have been time and even money badly spent, we find that they may be used as a means of help by having applications made now, as we will suggest, by one who may give greater assurance.
10. As we find in the present, we would use the hot and the cold applications twice to three times each week, with a particular movement made in adjustments in the area between the 5th and the 9th dorsal.
11. We would suggest Backman for these, who may make the adjustments also. Of course, coordinate the cervical AND the dorsal with the corrections made between the 5th and the 9th dorsal, see? but make movements there.

12. We would in the present use a compound prepared as we will suggest, for better assimilation and digestion, and for activities through the alimentary canal. We find that this will aid in correcting this blood disturbance and enable the assimilating system, as related to the glandular forces of the body, to be better balanced.
13. To 2 ounces of Distilled Water add 1 ounce of Strained Honey. Let come to a boil. Skim and set off.
14. Then, when near cool, add - in the order named: Grain Alcohol............................1 ounce, Essence or fusion of Wild Ginseng......1/2 ounce, Essence of Wild Ginger.................1/2 ounce, Tincture of Valerian...................1/4 ounce. The dose would be half a teaspoonful four times each day; half an hour before meals (and eat the meals!) and at bedtime.
15. Do these, as we find in the present, until a full quantity is taken of the medicinal properties indicated. Then we will give further instructions.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Even though my headaches pre-date my knowing any of the members of NESDOR INC. have my activities in the Shop and elsewhere with them had any bearing on the condition? (A) There have been periods when the association has aggravated, but it is not a source or cause and should not be considered so in the present. Rather the source is as indicated. Those conditions for the kidneys, and as to the position of stomach, are better; but the pressures made in some respects have not been so well.
18. (Q) It has been suggested that my illness is partially psychic, a sort of semi-obsession idea. Is there any basis for this belief? (A) As we find, it is rather a physical condition, though the psychic - or the attempt to raise the kundaline - causes an irritation. It would be best NOT to be too deep in meditation until the physical conditions show improvement.
19. (Q) Is the condition the working out of a karmic debt? (A) It may be termed such, yet in the present it would be rather - as we find - far-fetched; but could be called such, by some. We would follow these suggestions in the present; and then we would check again on that done.
20. We are through for the present. [See Par. R3, for dream
