Time of Reading Rosehill School, 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Chester Heights, Penna. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. We find with this body there has been rather the spasmodic reaction; that is, in days or for periods there apparently is a great deal of response to those applications made, then there will be periods when there seems to be a retraction, or same old conditions will arise.

2. In the addition of those vibrations as given, we would find this would become more of a uniform response, as it were, for the activity of this low form of electrical vibration that is created by the contacts to the extremities of the system tends to make for a quieting effect, and not from the sedentary forces of properties taken within - but more of a general nerve response to the changed vibrations created. Hence we would keep those conditions as HAS been outlined, ADDING those vibrations from the Radio-Active forces as HAS been outlined for the body, and we will find this nervousness, this tendency to retraction, will be CHANGED to a continued improvement, and we find there would be the responses to the manipulations, to the suggestions as would be well to be made as the body sinks to sleep - the talk, the quieting effect, the improvements through the psychopathic effect that may be created by suggestion as the body goes to sleep. Something as this, though it may be altered according to that one giving same. Do not make same as rote, or as just something to be said, but with that intense desire to be a channel of aid and help TO the individual:

3. AS YOU (calling the child by ITS OWN name, that it responds to even by any FORM of suggestion) AS YOU SINK INTO A QUIET RESTFUL SLEEP, THE ORGANS OF THE BODY WILL SO FUNCTION THAT THE VERY BEST WILL BE BUILDED IN THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BEING, GIVING THAT RESPONSE THAT WILL BE A NORMAL ACTIVITY FOR THE ORGANS OF THE SENSORY SYSTEM.

4. And the response and reaction will be of a NORMAL physical action, not spasmodic, not any retractions - see? Give as POSITIVE suggestions. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Should Mayblossom Bitters be continued? (A) The dose may be reduced, but we would continue until there are no reactions through that wringing of hands, or of continued nervousness - picking at things.

6. (Q) How long should osteopathic treatments be kept up? (A) We would take at least thirteen more before a period of rest is had; then rest for at least thirteen periods or days, then begin again, see, so that the body has the time - but we would make the SUGGESTIONS each evening.

7. (Q) Should they be the same as has been given - the osteopathic treatments? (A) These have been very good, and in line with the suggestions - and we would keep them, for we have the proper cooperation here with the manipulator.

8. (Q) What noticeable improvements have been made since last reading? (A) Periods of quietude, periods when there apparently is more attention given in ALL directions - whether in the vision or in the attempt to hear something, or to make sounds to others - see?

9. (Q) How long should the Radio-Active Appliance be used at a time, and how often? (A) In the beginning we would give for thirty minutes each evening, as the body rests. This may produce a nervousness in the first one or two applications - but will the SUGGESTIONS, as has been given, be carried in a positive manner, this will soon pass and these will be MOST helpful in KEEPING an equilibrium. After three to ten days, gradually INCREASE until an hour is given, see? Make positive connections to opposite sides of body, right ankle - left wrist; right wrist, left ankle - see?

10. (Q) Any other suggestion? (A) Do this at the present. We will find the responses will be more noticeable as these continue, for we are beginning in time.

11. (Q) How long should this treatment continue before another reading? (A) From sixty to ninety days.

12. GC: That is all for the present.
