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, as a shadow, it appears. We have the body here, [5406]. As we find, there are disturbances which arise physically from injury at birth. While that being met by those responsible for the body and the soul-consciousness is being met in self, and through requirements here.

3. We find that these conditions may be materially aided. These, in the present, to be sure, are spastic paralysis, from pressure on those central portions of brain reflexes, and thus, not only portions of the locomotary centers are involved, but portions of that area supplying circulation to structural body are also involved, along one portion of the spine.

4. This will require, as we find, a great deal of prayer, a great deal of application of the tenets of truth in not only the lives making application, but in that being taught to the body in its unfoldment in mind and body.

5. Let, the gentle massage, as may be had following the use of the low Wet Cell Appliance, as would carry both Gold and Atomidine into the system alternately as eliminants, work with and through the physical portions of the emunctory circulation and glandular centers to bring help.

6. The manipulations, following the use of the Appliance daily, should be in the nature of a massage, with particular reference to the centers in the gland forces in neck, chest, abdomen, on to the pubic centers, which supply all the energies to the sympathetic nerve system. While along the spine these would be at the first, to second, to third cervical - the first, second, third, and fourth dorsal, and ninth dorsal, and through the sacral and lumbar and sacral

centers. These should receive, following the use of the Appliance daily for about thirty minutes, at least fifteen to twenty minutes of gentle massage, with Cocoa-butter, with special reference to these centers.

7. After this treatment has been used for six months, then we would give the changes as may be necessary.

8. The Wet Cell Appliance, carrying Gold and Atomidine, should be made regular strength charge. The Gold (1 grain to 1 ounce of distilled water, using about three ounces in the solution) when this is used every other day, would be through the larger plate attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct center, which would be two fingers to the right of the navel center and two fingers up from that line, directly to the right. This would be according to the fingers of the mother, not long ways, just fingers side by side. The smaller plate would be attached at the lumbar axis, see? Fourth lumbar center.

9. When using the Atomidine (atomic iodine), the proportions would be one ounce of Atomidine and two ounces of distilled water. This connection should be at the lumbar and lacteal duct center, through the larger plate, but the smaller plate would be at the fourth dorsal.

10. This Appliance would be used about thirty minutes each day, one day with the Gold, the next day with the Atomidine.

11. Follow this each day with the massage, as indicated, using these periods when the massages are being given as the period for meditation and prayer, and for the conversation about the spiritual life to the unfolding mind and body.

12. Ready for questions.

13. (Q) Was there a cerebral hemorrhage? What part of the brain was affected and to what extent? (A) As has been indicated, this was from pressure created at the birth of the entity, and this has been a gradual pressure on reflexes.

14. (Q) Why can he not talk, and will he learn to do so? (A) As has been indicated, the pressures are upon the reflexes of the central and sympathetic nervous systems. Follow these instructions. Do this, as has been given, for six months. Do change the solutions and recharge the Appliance every thirty days, and we will give the changes in the six months.

(See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions to be sent to Mr. Godfrey for preparing the Wet Cell Appliance, also article explaining theory of this Appliance. Let us know the exact date when you get started with the entire treatment, so that we can make an appointment for the Check Physical Reading to come in six months from that time. Be sure to remind us when writing that the Check Physical is to come about six months from the date you begin. See application blank [which was enclosed] for Ck. Physical.)
