1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2436].
3. As we find, while there are definite improvements in the general and the specific conditions, there is much to be desired - as yet.
4. There is not, as we have indicated, the coordination or the response between the sympathetic or vegetative nerve system and the central nerve system - especially in the ganglia from the upper dorsal and cervical areas.
5. While reflexes from these in the brain reaction to impulse are very good at times, at others this incoordination brings those reflexes not so good.
6. We find there is the lack of interest of the body in definite objects - as in toys or playthings; while there will be definite reactions as to music, light, color, and people.
7. This indicates the lack of the proper coordination in connection with the impulse, as especially indicated in the ganglia in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal, and - naturally - at the base of the brain.
8. These do not need too great an adjustment, but they do need - in the mechanical manipulation - sufficient movement; not so much the segments themselves but the ganglia where the nerves of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems coordinate or center in these areas.
9. Hence a gentle massage of a rotary motion on either side of the spine, at these particular areas, will be beneficial; as also will the continuing of the use of the low electrical forces as indicated in the Appliance that stimulates nerve building to ganglia of the body through proper assimilation of foods that are digested in and by the body.
10. These will also prevent, gradually, the body's inclination to bump or to knock its head or body or back;

also this feeling of the sensation as of short-circuit there which causes the body to do this - the impulse attempting to correct same.
11. We will find this will aid in the vision, it will aid in the hearing, it will aid in the coordinating of the activities of the organs of the sensory system - as in the vocal box as well as in the auditory and the optical nerve impulses and reflexes. For, as given, reflexes in brain are very well. It is at those centers where the activity of the impulses between thought of body and their reaction to the brain center that the reflexes are supplied.
12. Keep the more often those periods of concentration, of prayer, of meditation, and of suggestion to the body as it begins to rest.
13. Doing these, we will find better conditions for the body.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) She makes no attempt to talk. What causes this condition? (A) As just described or indicated, there is not that coordination between the centers that reflect in the dorsal particularly. To be sure, there are nerve centers that coordinate in the cervical area - as in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical, but the LACK of coordination is in the 3rd and 4th dorsal ganglia.
16. (Q) Since she is able to hum a tune, why does she not articulate? (A) Just as described, there are those reactions giving the evidence of reflexes but not to indicate individually the separation into things themselves, see? While the adjustments have been helpful, DO have that one making these give them more in accord with the suggestions here indicated; not to move segment itself so much as to stimulate. And, understand, the ganglia here as spoken of are not as a pea or a bean, but much nearer the size or the area as would be a barleycorn or the like, see? And this is, should be, more round than oblong as it is; thus distorting the connections between the impulses in these particular ganglia areas.
17. (Q) Should the Wet Cell treatments be continued in the same manner? (A) As just indicated. These should be kept well in accord with those suggestions given; keeping the charges proper; keeping solutions proper, and the anodes or plates very clean when used - and do take them off of the Appliance when not in use, replacing them about twenty minutes before they are applied to the body. Cleanse when taken off, cleanse when put on body - by using the emery paper, see?
2436-5 Page 3
18. (Q) What is the present condition of her eyes? (A) As we find, as given, there is the gradual returning of vision. This, too, is in the form where light as a whole, or colors as colors, may be visioned; but the separating, organizing, materializing into individual things is still not normal to the body. Just as each impulse in the rest of the organs of the sensory system, though the auditories are more near normal - for these occupy the areas that lie between the voice and the vision, and hence have not been as much injured, and have been made better through the pressures as given in the corrections. But in the manner indicated, now, give those; but don't leave off the suggestions - in the mental and spiritual manner.
