1. GC: You will have before you the reading taken on July 27, 1925, regarding battery appliance. You will please answer the following questions regarding this, as I ask them of you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the information as given regarding the battery appliance, as was given on July 27, 1925 [1800-4] and we find this, as has been given, would prove very beneficial in any condition relating to the vibratory forces in physical body, especially that of first stages of rheumatism, catarrh, or any condition that affects the system regarding the eliminations for the body.
3. This we find would be well that everyone use such appliance, for the system would be improved in every condition that relates to the body being kept in attunement, as it were; for the forces as are exerted are such that the body responds to those conditions as are made by such an appliance, when constructed in the way and manner as given. Thus:
4. Using two pieces carbon steel (plain, see?). These will take the magnetic forces, or supply magnetic forces the better than hardened or tool steel, and these should be at least 4 1/2" to 5" in length, 1/4" to 5/8" wide, with thickness of 1/4" to 1/2", see? These incased in tin or metal or rubber container, packed with charcoal (plain), with carbon or insulation between each. These then should have small wire (copper - insulated) attached to each piece of steel. In turn, small plates attached to each end of the wire (loose, see?). This then may be attached to the body. When the regular or normal conditions, attach one to each extremity of body, to right and left side of body. When any condition relating to centralization in body, attach one to the umbilicus, or just above, or the right or left, depending upon which side of body is needing the condition to be changed. The container, then, should be placed always in water, with ice in same. This may be kept on body for an indeterminate period, thirty to sixty minutes, giving a change in the vibration in body.
5. These made, may be distributed to many peoples, and be

found very beneficial in any condition as given. Do that.
6. (Q) Should this be carbon steel or tool steel? (A) Carbon Steel. That known as carbon run, or carbon steel. Not tool steel. Sixty - fifth-eight, sixty to sixty-five percent carbon [0.60 to 0.65 [0.6% - 0.65%?] (change made by E. E. Cayce 1/57)], see?
7. (Q) Is rust injurious to the iron? (A) This should be cleansed before placed or attached. Afterward, we would not find rust detrimental, for rarely would there, with packing properly, be rust.
8. (Q) In cold weather, may the appliance just be hung outside and then attached to the body? (A) Always placed in cold or ice water, for the action of water on the elements produces the vibration necessary for body.
These we may find that, if there is the necessity of such liquid solutions being given the body as stimulants of any nature; that is, of the vibratory nature, or any drug or property that is of the sympathetic nature, attached to the negative pole, may add same to the vibration of body in that degree as to be beneficial to the body; such as quinine, gold, silver nitrate, iodine, spirits of camphor. Any of the elements carrying eighty-five or above percent of alcohol. These would be made in this manner:
An attachment of nickel, with a projection that would protrude into such container. These would be attached to the pole or wire, you see, with the metal in the central portion of same. This we find would gradually be carried, or the effects of the vibration, to the system.
9. (Q) Tell us if this could be marketed and how might a success be made of same. (A) This could be marketed and the success would be the results as would be obtained from the use of same. This may be sold direct to individuals, through the advertising mediums as are open to every condition of this nature.
