Time of Reading 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Virginia.

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [2240], who is at his home in ..., Virginia. You will give a physical reading for this body, giving the cause of existing conditions and the treatment for cure and relief of the body, after which you will answer the questions which we will ask you regarding his business and financial affairs - giving advice and guidance respecting these.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions physical, mental, and business associations of the body, [2240].

3. Now, in the physical forces of the body we find there are definite conditions that cause the disturbance, and while they are partially from the mental attitudes as produced by circumstances and conditions from without, the reactions are very definite in the physical functioning - and will require that some definite steps be taken as respecting same; though the relief mentally and the associations physically will have, and would have, much to do with the manner and the ways of improvement to the physical forces of the body.

4. These are the conditions as WE find them with this body, [2240] we are speaking of:

5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows the effect of deteriorating forces as related to energies being used up by suppressions in the system, so that those forces that are to be eliminated, used energies to be eliminated from the system, are constantly causing those reactions in the body that makes for the INACTIVITY in a NOMINAL manner of organs that PRODUCE the replenishing of the blood supply itself. This, as we find, in its turn - that is, the degeneration by pressures that definitely exist in the system - shows that there has been the cutting off of energy to those portions of the body, so that the inactivity of the forces themselves have been hindered - as in the locomotions, as in the nerve reactions in system, as for those of the muscular forces that show degeneration by the inactivity as produced by the system's forces in the body.

6. IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, we find these in

2240-1 Page 2

specific centers, as in the 4th lumbar, the 6th and 7th dorsal and throughout the cervical forces, make for those deteriorations in the lower activities of the locomotions, those in the upper - the conditions that make for those forces in the heart's action and the repression to the brain at times. Those in the upper cervical make for the deterioration in the general forces of the system, and its mental reactions for the body.

7. In meeting the needs, then, of the physical conditions - we would require, as we find, that there be a reaction that will meet or cope with the VARIOUS effects that are produced, as well as reaching the causes or the basis of the conditions existent. As is seen in those forces in making corrections osteopathically for the cerebrospinal system, aiding same in vibrations or applications that we would make along those specific centers before - at least six to eight hours before, or ten hours before - the manipulations were given. Those added of the mullein stoops [stupes] over the lumbar, over the 6th dorsal, over the 5th to 7th to the 4th cervical - see? This will relieve the stress, these conditions in the system.

8. We would also, at least once each week, apply those rays of the INFRA Red TO those of the solar plexus centers, see?

9. The manipulations should be given at least twice each week, and the corrections made with same.

10. In the matter of the diet - these will of necessity be more alkalin in their reaction, and nerve and blood building - altered so that the eliminations are kept in a normal manner; using the colonics at least once every two weeks to reduce those pressures in the blood supply and relieve the drosses from the system. Do that. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) To whom, and when, must we lease Hotel ...? and at what price? (A) There has been, as we find, at least two offers - two that are worthy of consideration, at least. These, as we find, are from a Chattanooga or Knoxville association or concern, or these may be obtained. To THESE we would lease same. The price would be sufficient to cover those needs of caring for the properties themselves, including the upkeep in same - with interest as of the investment seen itself. This would not be exhorbitant, and would be in keeping with good business relations.

12. (Q) Will the parties accept the offer which I made them respecting my Montana iron property? (A) Not at the present time. This may be made a little bit later, but not at the present time - as we find - though this, to be sure, may be altered by circumstances that are

2240-1 Page 3

in the minds or the conditions of those to whom offer is made.

13. (Q) What will be the best plan to dispose of this property? and when? Give details. (A) In the latter part of the present year would be the better time, when there are more activities in this particular field - and, as we find, there will be an opening for this particular field's development in the latter part of the summer or early part of the fall - these interests, see?

14. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [...] [wife] " " File
