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 those conditions about this body, and those disturbances which have been a part of the entity's experience in the present.

3. These as we find are complex in their nature. The stage has been reached where there is not only the involvement of the pulmonaries, where operations have been performed, but the system has so turned as to cause a pleural condition in the lymph circulation.

4. Thus the trunk portion of the body as well as the lower extremities we find becoming filled with superficial fluid circulation. These are not responding to the administrations being made, except at times.

5. However, we would not discontinue any of the treatments. We WOULD diminish the quantity of the injections.

6. We would apply the ultra-violet ray from the Mercury Light, not the Carbon Light; using the healing light or green glass between the ultra- violet ray and the body. Give this every other day, beginning with not more than a minute, and this applied preferably to the back area; that is, over the ribs and that area of the spinal column. Have the ultra-violet at least thirty-eight inches from the body, and the green glass - a piece about ten by twelve inches - should be at least fourteen inches from the body, so as to diffuse. True, some will maintain that this deflects the ultra-violet ray; but the healing ray is produced by the effect that the distance and color has upon the body-energies. While these are penetrating rays, it will be found with this type that they will deflect so that the activity is produced upon the structural portions of the body - that naturally become involved where there has become

needed separation or segregation through the increased quantity of the leukocytes in the system. And these will tend to disseminate or dissolve such conditions.

7. Also we would prepare a charred oak keg for inhaling the fumes from Pure Apple Brandy; using at least half a gallon or more in a gallon and a half container - this kept where evaporation takes place rather highly, as on a radiator or close to a stove. Only the gas is to be inhaled into the lungs. Inhale these fumes once, twice, and even three times a day provided the inhaling is not done too heavily. Prepare the keg so that the openings are in one end, two of them, one prepared with a tube so as to inhale the gas that forms from the evaporation.

8. This, with the Light suggested to be used, will prevent greater accumulations. If used regularly this will also react upon the kidneys and the action of the circulation as to reduce the tendency for these accumulations of fluids in body, as well as through portions of the torso.

9. These do, and we should find them proving helpful influences for the body.

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) At what rate should the hypodermics be discontinued? (A) These should be just sufficient to make the pain bearable. When the body gets beyond the ability to stand the pain, then use the hypodermic. But if sufficient of these other applications are used as suggested, there should be the gradual reducing of pain. So long as the hypodermics are taken it will be necessary that there be good eliminations or evacuations daily from the alimentary canal. Oil enemas should be used, or laxatives that are not too violent. We find it would be better to vary these from the mineral salts to the vegetable compounds. Give one at one time, and the other at the next, when a laxative is necessary. Also the cleansing with the oil enemas will be helpful. Do these in that manner. These as we find offer the better prospects or opportunities for helpful forces.

12. (Q) What about the diet? (A) This has been cared for very well. We would keep very much along that line. We would increase, when practical, the quantity of the raw foods; especially water cress and carrots. These may be prepared with gelatin, and in various ways to suit the taste of the body. Do these.
