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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - [2544] - resting in the yard.
3. We have the body here, [2544].
4. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions. These are the result of external injuries to the body.
5. And pressures that exist especially in the coccyx area of the spine cause a deflection of nerve energies and impulses; producing hallucinations to the mental reaction.
6. However, there are not lesions of any character in the brain.
7. Thus, as we find - with care, with persistence - there can be the removal of the pressures and normal MENTAL reaction brought to this body.
8. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2544] we are speaking of:
9. The blood supply is very good. That there have not been deflections as to cause wasting of portions of the body is well. There ARE those conditions which prevent the nominal reaction of the nerve and muscular forces.
10. But from external injuries the nerves in the coccyx end of the spine have been jammed, as well as that reaction upon the nerves in the lumbar axis and the brachial and cervical.
11. These however, as we find, are of secondary nature; that is, the lesions that are formed there.
12. In the reaction to the nerves, as the pressures upon the coccyx end and the brush end of the cerebrospinal, congested areas have formed there.
13. Periods come when there is self-condemnation, self-realization of the reactions; and at times the feeling

or expression of POSSESSION.
14. These are reflexes through the sympathetic system.
15. As we find, ALL then is of the nature of nerve pressures of spinal conditions, and will require the removal of same, - not by operative measures in the beginning, though it may require in the end that the first and second portions of the coccyx - or coccyx bones - be removed. This will depend upon how well the body responds to administrations.
16. Under the direction of one such as Still - then - we would make first the applications of Wet Heat to the sacral AND the coccyx area. And the first MOVEMENTS would be done UNDER an anaesthesia.
17. These we would do osteopathically, though; and then gradually make coordinations along the rest of the spinal system.
18. And we will find - in not too long a period, either - there will return more and more a mental and a physical normalcy for this body.
19. Do that, and we will bring the abilities of this body, this entity, for activity in this material experience.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Do the teeth have anything to do with her condition? (A) These conditions are rather the results of pressures that have deflected those conditions through the body. These will be part of the corrections to be made, but are results - NOT causes of conditions.
22. (Q) Is there more that needs to be done about the teeth than has been done? (A) Not so much more needs to be done, than that as will be in the completing of those things already begun. But the corrections need to be made mainly in the coccyx, the sacral, the 9th dorsal and the brachial center, and the vagus center.
23. (Q) Is it necessary to go to the Still institution? (A) At Macon, Missouri. Charles Still. [C. E. Still?]
