1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. The abnormal conditions as we find in this body, we find are organic conditions. While the re-action from these effect many of the functionings throughout the system and we have a pathological condition that would be above the ordinary, as shown in this body here, [4711], of whom we are speaking.
2. First, we find the circulation, the blood supplying force carrying bacilli of conditions that exist throughout the entire system, and it shows or carries itself in the system. This is shown especially in the lymphatics and emunctories. The organic condition first began in the hepatic circulation and is affected by the circulation of the blood supply through the liver and there we have an organic condition - deep-seated in the body itself. There has been brought to the body many things to act over the circulation and blood supplying forces, yet none have reached these, but have brought to many of the muscular forces those actions that produce inactivity or an inability to act in the body. The nerve forces as we find have become disturbed, unstrung and relaxed in some places, taut in others - the inability to be controlled properly either by the circulation or by muscular forces that control them. There is not much to be done to this body - it is beyond repair as we see, we can only try to keep the physical and spiritual forces together. We may keep body and soul together some time if they will keep certain things in the system. The functioning of the organs themselves of the brain force and its action over the system is not controlled by either centers controlling either the voluntary or involuntary nerve forces. They exist, as it were, without proper action over either to produce co-ordination between the two systems. The spiritual and physical forces are well balanced in the body. It is better for the body not to be kept here, but the physical forces are to carry on in the system the active forces to keep the life, yet they are disintegrating, but we find perfect resignation of the physical forces to the spiritual. The mental activity to the forces throughout and in connection with others have not been made perfect as yet. As to those things that would give relief to the physical forces, we

find that by taking different kinds of astringents in the system with plenty of force to carry elimination as far as possible, as of temperature, will assist the body and keep it as near as needs for this. If then we could carry in the system these properties of water as given in the system - those of:
Yellow Saffron................2 parts, Balsam of Tolu as dissolved...2 parts, Slippery Elm..................2 parts.
This will give the ease and force to portions of the body and become a sedative and astringents to certain portions of the system. There are no other forces for relief, except as we will find through the spiritual. They are set. These are the conditions as we find in the body of [4711] of ..., Wash.
3. (Q) How long do you think this body will live? (A) If these are kept in the system with other forces of spiritual, we will keep the body alive something like three to six months. Of course, it depends on conditions and circumstances that may arise, and do arise, from time to time with this condition that exists in the spiritual force and the needs had for forces that will co-ordinate with that of the physical and spiritual forces in the body of [4711]. There is no rebuilding force, no physical force to take to the other. They are set with the spiritual forces and are beyond the physical. It is too late. We are through.
