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 that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body - those environments, those activities and intercessions.
3. As we find, those determined factors - or as have been intimated - are a part of the entity's experience in the present.
4. With those applications that are being made, and with the intercessions that are being brought to bear for the betterment physically of this body - we would add the fumes of Apple Brandy. Half a gallon of the Pure Apple Brandy would be put in a gallon or gallon and a half charred oak keg. Two small openings would be made in the end of the keg. This would be kept close to where it may be evaporated by the heat. The fumes or the gas from same, then, would be inhaled - by removing one of the small plugs that would stop the opening, and undoing a rubber tube that would be put in the other opening. Both openings would be kept tightly corked, of course, when not in use; or a metal container or tube put on one, and kept tightly corked, and a small plug in the other opening so that it may be removed when being used, so that the air - as the inhalation is made of the fumes - may enter the lungs for the purifying of the tissue there, that is involved in the infectious forces through same.
5. Keep the rest of those things that have been applied, and are being applied.
6. Keep the body quiet through those periods of the activities necessary for the better eliminations to be kept.
7. These as we find will bring the better influences and forces for the body of [1875].
8. Let the attitude be the reliance upon the Creative Forces

that will bring into the experience that which is best, which is in keeping with the promises and the intent and purpose.
9. Realize, it is well to rely upon others, but the consciousness, the awareness of the divine must be aroused within self if destructive forces would be put to rout.
10. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother-in-law " " Ass'n file (See drawing [which was enclosed] to illustrate Keg prepared for Brandy. Be sure it is a CHARRED oak keg. Also see application [which was enclosed] for joining the Prayer Group of the Association.) )
