U.S. Naval Base Time of Reading Hospital, 10:40 to 10:50 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y.
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, [1905].
3. Now as we find, the conditions in the present appear VERY serious - as there is the lack of the reaction between the nerve impulse to and from the activities. Hence the languidness, and coma - at times.
4. Yet this need not NECESSARILY be fatal to the better body-forces, if there would be the proper applications made (and we would call Taylor - the New York neurologist).
5. First, we would have the injections of Liver Extract to such negative reaction.
6. Then we would make use of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying Gold to the body-activity (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of distilled water, carried into the body vibratorially, you see), which will aid in assisting the nerve forces through their activities to take from the glandular reactions the energies necessary for the resuscitating of the nerve IMPULSE itself.
7. The attachments would be made, the small copper plate to the 9th dorsal and the large nickel plate (through which the Gold Solution passes) to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, for twenty minutes each day.
8. We would have a gentle massage following such.
9. And the injections we would have - under the direction of the neurologist.
10. Keep the body quiet, and on the liquid diet - or the injections may be necessary - for nourishment.
11. Doing these, under the direction of Taylor, we should

find the better improvement.
12. Do that.
13. (Q) What has caused this condition? (A) A breaking down of the nervous system. This is a multiple [sclerosis?]* of the condition. And these elements added in the manner indicated will prevent the brain adherence, or the liquefying of same. * [GD's note: This word "sclerosis" was my idea and did not come in the reading. Perhaps multiple meant only a condition multiple in scope.]
14. (Q) Anything else that can be done to make him comfortable? (A) Do THIS! It won't make him very comfortable in the beginning, but these will begin the resuscitation as well as the hindering of the deterioration which is going on in the present. Do that.
15. (Q) How long has this condition been developing? (A) Since he was two days old!
16. (Q) Are there any doctors in the Naval Hospital where he now is who are open-minded to follow your reading? (A) Do these AS WE HAVE INDICATED, if you would receive the results!
17. We are through for the present. Two copies to Mrs. [1857] to be mailed to parents (one copy to be given to Dr. Charles Goodman Taylor, ..., New York City, Butterfield ...) Copy to Ass'n file (Dr. Taylor will also understand about using the Wet Cell Appliance, as he has had experience with this type Appliance. It might be that he can secure the one being used by another patient in N.Y. If not, one may be ordered direct from the company. Advise us and we will have it sent.) )
