1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions which surround same.
3. Now as we find, there may be help brought to this body, if there can be - under changed environs - the application of that which is the fruit of the spirit of truth, of helpfulness, of gentleness, of kindness, of patience.
4. As we find, many changes will be necessary in making applications that may be helpful.
5. The first, this change of environment.
6. In giving that as may be helpful, then, for the physical and the mental welfare of the body - something might be given as to the sources or the causes of the present condition, to say nothing of the horrible effect the environs have upon the body, and that through which this entity or soul has passed in its present environment.
7. There being in this body, with this entity, a high nervous temperament, with ideals as high, as keen as may be found in many a day, the activities through which the entity passed have shattered its hopes, its aspirations - by the advances that were unspeakable to the entity, the MENTAL self, the higher self.
8. And in the attempt to escape, and finding self trapped as it were, the physical exercise and activity in the attempt shattered the connection between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system; especially in the coccyx and lumbar areas.

9. Losing consciousness the entity became a prey to those suggestive forces as were acted upon, and by the injection of outside forces to keep that hidden as attempted upon the body.
10. Then, in its present environs, there have been only moments of rationality; and then NO one to respond brought greater and still greater depression to the better self.
11. And these must all be taken into consideration in the administering to the physical as well as mental needs of the body.
12. To be sure, it will require that there be a constant attendant; and one physically able to handle the body, but NOT in a manner of other than kindness, patience, and with LOVING care - rather than the attempts to further break down the self-expression.
13. Then the correction of those pressures which exist in the cerebrospinal system, especially in the lumbar and coccyx area.
14. There should be sufficient care in the feeding that there be strength and nerve building foods, supplying the elements that will replenish an impoverished body; a condition where there is not anemia in its functional sense but anemia in the sense of the deterioration of those portions of the physical organism which are able to supply blood nutrition and the activities necessary.
15. It is more mal-nutrition than the sense of anemia.
16. Also we would supply low electrical forces of the static nature, carrying the elements of gold into the system. Such would be begun after the third or fourth adjustment, or after ten days or two weeks of the gentleness, kindness and patience and the feeding of the body; so that it has sufficient to build upon. The attachments of the Appliance would be, the small copper plate to the 4th lumbar, and the larger nickel plate - through which the Gold Solution passes (in the proportion of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water) - to the umbilicus plexus or lacteal duct area; for thirty minutes each day.
17. After these all have been given, then, for six to eight weeks, we would give the further instructions for the corrections, the manners, the modes, the WAY to bring about this coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system.
18. The impulses of the imaginative system must be quieted through gentleness and kindness, yet positiveness.
19. And let such an one, who has the care of the body, be one not lacking in prayer and in love for the fellow man.
20. Ready for questions.

21. (Q) What environment would be suggested, where these directions might be followed? (A) As indicated, where there is care; an attendant, constantly; and where there is a loving and not a HORRIBLE environment!
22. (Q) What doctor would you suggest to make the corrections? (A) Anyone in sympathy with that as indicated - Dobbins the better. The beauty of this soul, its abilities as a creative influence in the lives of those who may bring it back as it were from the very borderland, is worth all the effort, all the love, all the kindness one may give. Such is so near possession that there needs to be great care taken.
23. We are through for the present. Copy to Miss [2268], sister " " Mr. David E. Kahn (to be furnished Dr. Dobbins) " " Ass'n file (GD's note: Mr. Kahn may be able to get for you the Wet Cell Appliance used in Mr. [1513]'s case.) )
