1. GC: You will give a physical and mental reading for this body, giving suggestions for permanently freeing it from such attacks as it has been having. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding the body.
2. EC: This body we have had here before.
3. Now, we find there are bettered conditions in the physical forces of the body. These have to do with the eliminations and with conditions as have been brought about in the body by improper incentives within the system.
4. The body should be kept much along the same lines until the condition is entirely relieved, as has been outlined for the body; changing or alternating, necessarily, to meet the needs of the arising conditions as the body improves.
5. Now, in considering conditions to be brought about in the physical forces of the body that would bring the relief in a way and manner that there would not be re-occurrence of these conditions as appear from time to time:
6. Now, with the physical and mental, with this particular body, there must be considered the development of the body. Now DO NOT infer that because the body is strange or different from others that it is an abnormal condition for this body! For other bodies it might be an abnormal condition. THIS body's development is NOT an abnormal condition - for the body is PSYCHIC in a GREAT sense. Hence suggestions to the body - warnings to the body - haven't the same effect upon this body as they would upon others. Corrections for misdemeanor or mental conditions within its body, or within its actions physically, do not impress - or DO impress (however the case may be) the body. Quite different from that ORDINARILY seen. Not that it's abnormal, no! but the DEVELOPMENT is different.
7. Yet there must be physical conditions as produce or cause physical conditions resultant in the functioning of the body, as has been seen in the reoccurrence of the trouble with the stomach, or as has been recently seen when

inflammation arose and distension occurred in the abdomen there was the indication of inflammation through the pleural cavity. This purely reflex - NOT pleurisy in its form of the action as is set up in the system that brings about the inflammation, yet reflex condition causing the distension AND inflammation, but not necessarily is a condition pleurisy because the pleural conditions are inflamed! no more than necessarily is it appendicitis because there's inflammation in the region of the appendix! These may be ENTIRELY reflex conditions, as exist in this body - for we find that causing the condition, that brings about the congestion, that reoccurrence in the digestive system, is the reflex condition from overcharged forces in the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal, where the cardiac end of stomach becomes overgorged in its reaction, bringing about that reaction in the walls of stomach proper that brings the condition in the digestive system, as has been outlined, producing then inflammation in the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, causing - in that portion of the system where the separation of the blood supply takes place - inflammation, congestion in liver, gall ducts become slow in action.
8. To meet the needs, then, would be to put the developing body under the care and influence of one knowing the proper way and manner to direct one so that each suggestion made to the physical developing body would be in full accord with that administered to the body for the physical correction, and for the physical and MENTAL DEVELOPMENT of the body! see? Do THAT. Such a one may be found in House [Thomas B. House, M.D.] at Virginia Beach; in Lydic [Lyman A. Lydic, D.O.] at Dayton, Ohio. These would understand that NECESSARY for the proper DEVELOPMENTS for the physical conditions, as well as that psychic and psychological force as produced through the action of the mental, or the developing mind of this body (which is far beyond the normal). Ready for questions.
9. (Q) The doctor attending her now states that she had pleurisy. Were her lungs or pleural cavity affected? (A) Only sympathetically, as has been given.
10. (Q) What accounts for cough which she had and for peculiar mucus which she has been spitting up - yellow with white lumps in it? (A) When there is pressure produced in the region as has been described, that misdirects the blood supply and all of the mucus producing, or all of the lymph producing forces in the body, you may be very sure that through the sympathetic forces - of the secondary cardiac forces - inflammation would occur in the bronchials and be thrown off in spittle,

carrying whatever is suggested to the child, or as is seen by the forces in ITSELF, discharging or thrown off from the system. Purely a reflex condition, for the correction must be made if the physical forces are corrected - but do not forget that the MENTAL and the psychological conditions in the body must be carried along; not only as corrections for physical corrections as to the manner of the physical and mental development of the body - this child, this body, EXTRAORDINARY! should be developed properly!
11. That is all the questions.
12. We are through for the present.
