Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Taken 11:05 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ohio.
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 - not so good.
3. As we find, other than the nominal developments from pregnancy, there are those disturbances that are causing great anxiety for the body as well as for the offspring. These have to do with the condition existent as related to the pelvic areas.
4. We find that rather than using the x-ray, radium or other means to allay, it would be preferable to take small quantities internally of Plantain tea and to use a Plantain poultice over the areas disturbed. Thus there would be the insurance of a much more normal reaction at the time of delivery and much better probability of the child not being affected by the use of such strong measures.
5. The Plantain tea and also the plantain poultice should be prepared fresh daily. Obtain the tender leaves of plantain just now beginning in this area to indicate itself. Use not the roots but the leaves. Cut these fine. Put a level teaspoonful in a teacup and fill with boiling water. Cover with a saucer or glass top and let stand for thirty minutes. Strain off and drink the tea. Do this once each day.
6. The poultice would be prepared in this manner, to be put over the pubic center:
7. Mix a tablespoonful of the tender leaves (cut fine) with a tablespoonful of thick sweet cream that rises to the top of the milk - not the heavy cream, not that soured, but the pure fresh cream skimmed from the top of milk. Mix these together and let come almost to a boil - using these properties, you see, to make the salve for the poultice.

Spread on gauze and apply over the area. Do this daily.
8. Keep up the use of the Plantain tea as well as the poultice. After delivery, the poultice may be applied over the whole abdomen - which would require about four times as much of the Plantain, also the cream. For these are to be equal in measurement, not in weight but in measure. Leave on the poultice, about an hour or an hour and a half each day. Don't make but just so much at the time. Make in the measures as given, if this is cooked together it will be thick, and should not be spread so thin as not to be effective - but about a quarter of an inch thick.
9. Do keep good eliminations for the body, but the use of vegetable laxatives; preferably those having a senna base and figs combined with same.
10. These, as we find, with the regular precautions that should be taken, should bring much better conditions for the body.
11. When there is the delivery and afterward, there will have to be a great deal of precaution because of infection. Keep these areas cleansed preferably with an alkaline cleansing fluid.
12. About three days after delivery, we would begin the use of the Ultra-Violet Mercury Light, at least thirty-seven inches from the body, with the projection of the green glass between the light and the body - about fourteen inches from the body. This should not be painted glass but stained green glass between the body and the Ultra-Violet.
13. Do these for better conditions for this body.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Is the condition indicative of cancer? (A) Read what we have given for it and the warnings as to using the radium and x-ray, and you will see what it is indicative of.
16. (Q) Approximately when should the baby arrive? (A) Near to normal time, which would be about the first of June.
17. (Q) Is it indicated as to what the sex will be? (A) Better be satisfied with it being normal, rather than concentrating on either a boy or girl being injured by the use of such violence. For with these treatments indicated we can save mother and child, if there is not the becoming overanxious. Trust in the sources of health, the sources of good. For if there had not been the need for this soul to be in the world, or in earth-consciousness, there would not have been conception.
18. We are through with this reading. [See GD's note below.]
