Time of Reading 4:30 P. M. ..., Washington.
1. LBC: You are now asleep and will be able to tell us what we want to know. You have before you Miss [5579], ..., Wash.
2. EC: Miss [5579].
3. LBC: Yes, 515 ... Ave., ..., Wash. She is before you, you will see her.
4. EC: [5579], ..., Wash. Yes we have her here, we have had her before.
5. LBC: Well go over her carefully and examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the condition of her now.
6. EC: Not much change from what we had before.
7. LBC: Alright tell us what her conditions are now.
8. EC: The same trouble we have had here before in the stomach, where it was poisoned before, you see. We have the same condition existing there in the wall of the stomach, inside. We are taking about here (where the gullet empties into the stomach, just below), comes in contact through the sympathetic, through the nervous system to the fifth dorsal vertebrae, you see, in the spine, producing the same sensation we have had before to the nervous system and all over the whole system; this produces pains in the head, gushing of the blood to the heart, filling of the nerve forces blood supply to the head and then a collapse of the whole muscular and nervous supply to the head and producing a congestion to the forces; the spine along here becomes cold from lack of blood supply. Forces the hepatic circulation, producing the condition we have had existing through the lower end of the intestinal tract here, you see, through the ascending colon; inflammation through the pelvis, through the generatory organs here, and the condition of the generatory system here. Secretions of these to the generatory system has helped produce a condition of the nerve force supply and and an overtaxation of the nerve force. We have these conditions here in the body.
9. The condition we have is what has grown from the condition that existed before until we have not the condition existing that was here before but what has grown

from the effects of the condition that existed.
10. While the treating of the conditions, or suggestion to the mind has been most of the treatment, has taken away from the nerve supply to the intestinal tract, to the lower end of the stomach until we have left here just a gulley in the stomach. This condition - clogging up and supply of blood to the head, brain and capillaries, at times.
11. The condition existing produced from the condition we had through the pelvis region. We have an abuse of the conditions of the generatory system.
12. (Q) Well any other conditions that you find? (A) Take the whole condition of the system now of [5579], take the circulation - here from the heart to the lungs, back to the heart, to the system, to the extremities of the whole body; at times, we have here from the nervous condition existing here in the stomach a contracting - a filling up of the stomach with anything (even with water) will produce this spasm into the stomach, inside here, until we contract these nerve forces here at the upper end of the stomach, until we reduce these forces, you see, and we have the blood thrown out to the head, to the lung and goes through the exterior walls here, filling up the whole centers here, until we have a sinking into coma from the nerve supply. We have the same thing existing through the hepatic circulation, reversely. We have reduced the hepatic circulation and then we have torpidity in the liver and secretion in the pancreas and duodenum, that does not allow the passing into the system from the blood supply. The nerve force comes in contact with the blood supply through the heart, through the whole system, giving out into the circulation (both with the circulation, exterior and interior), through there these produce the same condition we find as we direct these forces of the blood in being carried and the muscle and nerve force going in laterally. Both the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal systems are working in accord - spasm to one produces a spasm to the other, from overexertion of the organism of the system through the pelvis region and generatory system. The poison condition first begun it; then we have the poison of the whole mind and system.
13. (Q) Well what treatment would you suggest for these conditions? (A) Cleanse this whole system thoroughly here. Have not had anything [in?] it since before, except suggestion and water. Cleanse this whole system thoroughly with oil - Olive Oil is best or Sweet Oil. Then reduce these forces at

the fifth dorsal vertebrae through the electrical force applied by small battery in water here; that is, giving the vibration force to the system, to the nerve supply, without exciting the nerve forces to the other system as we generally detract from this and through the same force we have had in the system here. Keep working through the mind, like the system has been fed for months. Got to make an impression on to the system through the intestinal tract to carry off this. Use electrical forces opposite to where the seat of the trouble was in the stomach. The body will improve. Won't have any more of these spells; won't have any more of these sinking spells of coma, what you would commonly call a fit. This is produced now from the circulation or from the nerve and condition existing from the overtaxation of both and it is plain fit, or coma, or action of blood to the brain, or supplying of the nerve forces throughout from these forces to the head and produces a coldness of the spine. At the times we have these hot applications there - hot water or gruel - something to hold the heat; have the feet in hot water, hot hip baths and this will reduce these forces. Of course, that is local at the time of the condition but to reduce the condition cleanse the system with the Oil and keep as much out of it as possible and put the electrical forces at the spine. Reduce the forces and keep these conditions in the mind as we have had it before.
