Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Virginia.
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, we have the body here, [2685].
3. As we find, conditions are rather serious with the body.
4. As to whether there may be responses to applications that may be made will depend upon the spiritual attitude of the individual.
5. For, as we find, greater complications are arising from the inability of the body to take any stimulating foods; and the natural resistance is being gradually destroyed.
6. This will make further complications by the inability of there being proper eliminations.
7. The necessity of there having to be taken narcotics destroys the ability of the liver's activity, AND is working hardships again upon the kidneys.
8. As we find, the conditions are as these:
9. There was the inhaling of particles into the lungs. The attempt of the body to war against this, owing to the conditions existent, formed a lymph tumor. This, however, has a nucleus about those sediments. These will be the greater trouble in dissipating the conditions.
10. We would leave off most of the other applications that are being made in the present, save the necessity that IS required to relieve pain - and these we would give. But as conditions relax, if the body responds, we would gradually reduce the quantity of the narcotic.
11. Begin first with these:
12. Saturate four or five thicknesses of canton flannel*, or the like, with Glyco-Thymoline and apply this over the area in the chest - from the throat down - and then apply heat to this; though do not have so hot as to cause blistering. Keep this on for periods of at least an hour to an hour and

a half at the time, and make the applications two, three to four times a day. * [Canton flannel is a heavy, soft cotton cloth with a wooly nap on one side, used mainly for baby clothes. Also called "flannelette," "swan's-down." (Originally made at Canton, China.)]
13. When water is given, give one or two drops of Glyco-Thymoline in same.
14. Once a week, in the beginning, take an electric treatment - using the Violet Ray, hand machine but with the hand (or rod) applicator. However, do not take it in the hand but in the feet. Lay the applicator upon glass and set the foot on same. Take this for one and a half to two minutes, but AFTER - some ten to twenty minutes after - an eighth grain of Animated Ash has been given. Put the Ash dry upon the tongue and take with a swallow of water.
15. In the diet - use strained oatmeal, and all the beef juice the body will take - and this may be taken as medicine, every two hours half to a teaspoonful. But sip this - don't try to swallow - just let it, as it were, be assimilated by the gastric flow.
16. DO give enemas to evacuate the colon - do this every other day if possible.
17. These, as we find, offer the greater possibilities - if there is the attitude of sincerity, of purposefulness, there may be aid.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Any spiritual advice? (A) As has been indicated, be purposeful in self. These as we find are the attitudes: What would the body do WITH itself IF healed? Promise that - believe it - DO it!
