Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., New Hampshire.
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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [3207].
3. As we find, unless there can be the persuasion through suggestion in or from the spiritual approach, little may be done to arouse this body from the lethargy into which it has purposely driven itself.
4. To be sure there are pathological disturbances, but these arise more from the psychological or psychopathic conditions than from the purely physical condition. To be sure there are incoordinations between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic systems. These are nerve lapses. And these may be aided. But the real basis of the aid must come from spiritual suggestion.
5. While ordinarily they would not combine, these two sources offer the greater help that may be obtained - and all should learn the lesson that the law of the Lord is perfect, the Lord is one.
6. Suggestions should be made from purely the spiritual angle, in conjunction with purely mechanical applications. These, if practiced in this particular case would bring relief.
7. Then: Prepare the low Wet Cell Appliance, to carry Gold in the body - the proportions being one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to each ounce of distilled water.
8. The charge should be medium strength; that is, to the gallon and a half of distilled water, add - in the order named: Copper Sulphate.................2 lbs., Sulfuric Acid, C.P..........1 1/4 ounces, Zinc............................1 dram & 30 grains,
3207-1 Page 2
Willow Charcoal...............1/2 lb.
9. Make the application each day for thirty minutes. Attach the large plate, through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially at the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus; that is four fingers from the navel center to the right and two fingers up from that point. The copper plate would be attached at the ninth dorsal.
10. Each day when the Appliance is removed give the body a gentle massage along the spine, using either an oil or a powder - just something that will make the massage easier. Commence at the ninth dorsal and massage upward. Then commence at the ninth dorsal and massage downward, along the spine particularly; this merely to make distribution through the nerve plexus and centers especially in the lymph circulation.
11. Also have a Christian Science Reader with the body as an attendant, a companion, who would continue to make suggestions; first for the awakening to possibilities in the outdoors, in nature, in things of Creative activity.
12. And we will find we may supply the breaking up of the nerve forces in this body. This will prevent the deterioration or the regular conditions that ordinarily arise when such melancholy becomes a part of the experience.
13. DO that - if we would make the better conditions.
14. We are through with this reading. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n file " " Miss Goodall for indexing (9/11/43 GD's note: See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to be sent to Mr. A. M.
