1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Many changes are apparent in the physical forces of the body since last we had same. Some are produced through non-attention of conditions arising from corrections made; others are accentuations of these arising, produced by congestion and the effect this created on the disturbed condition in the functioning of organs as seen in the system. Ready for question.

3. (Q) What can be done for piles? (A) Use Tim ointment as has been given for such conditions. This applied, with the proper manipulation in the lumbar and sacral region, will PERMANENTLY relieve this body of such conditions.

4. (Q) Will the “flu” vaccine taken prevent re-attacks? (A) With the proper care this will prevent; though the conditions that arise from cold or congestion will ever be apparent without sufficient of that in the system to combat with that germ or bacilli known as cold (and is not “flu” germ!). One may be combated with, certain elements in the blood, while the other would be only to create others that would affect other portions of the body. With proper care, though, the “flu” would be out-lawed, or the body would be immune to the effect of “flu” proper.

5. (Q) How can she prevent taking “flu”? (A) As given. To prevent taking cold is to prevent the body from reaching that point where the blood is acted upon by that bacilli known as cold, or the preventative is to create in the system that which combats cold (which is pure rich blood!), by keeping the system nominally balanced, keeping the metabolism of the body at or near normal.

6. (Q) Is the “flu” germ that which is causing her repeated illness? (A) More those of cold than “flu”, though the effects are produced by that of the inability of the hemoglobin to produce that in system that will efficiently combat cold, germ, or bacilli, or lack of the white strep in the blood itself.

7. (Q) What climate would best suit the body? (A) Higher altitude!

8. (Q) Will you give the work this body is best suited to do, for the physical, mental and spiritual betterment? (A) That of following out those inclinations that are seen in the activities of the body as related to individual’s relations with individual development; or as teacher, matron, or as instructor matron, or as those fields that are kindred to same.

9. (Q) Any further suggestions for the relief or cure of this body? (A) These as have been given, if met properly, would bring near normal conditions. As to how to meet these, this has not been given or asked for. In meeting these, there is necessity of more consistency with the mental and physical activities of this body. In the diet, in the nominal activities, keep the body near equalized in elimination and assimilation. This will be accomplished more by consistency than any definite outline, other than KNOWING that it is necessary to keep these conditions nominal for the body. Do that. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/7/29 Mrs. [654]‘s ltr.: “About a yr. ago you sent me some medicine for pyorrhea [Ipsab] and piles [Tim]. Both gave almost instant relief.

“My gums started giving trouble again about a month ago and now they are in a very bad condition - have receded almost to the roots in some places. Would appreciate it very much if you would send me at once c.o.d. a bottle of each, for the pyorrhea and piles, as I am entirely out of both medicines.

“You have never failed to help me, even when I’ve been given up by the best doctors, and I have all the faith in the world in you. I can never thank you enough for all you have done for me.”

R2. 9/3/31 She obtained a Ck. Physical - see 654-4.

B1. See 654-2 on 3/9/27 and subsequent correspondence.

B2. 5/21/28 Mother’s ltr.: “[654] has been confined to her bed about 2 months and sent for me 5 wks. ago. She is still in bed. The Dr. thinks she can sit up tomorrow. Am writing you for a diagnosis. She would like to have you answer the following questions… She would like a Life Rdg. but don’t feel able just now. I wonder if you could ask this one question in this rdg. about the kind of work she is best suited for? as I feel if she had a work she was interested in and was suited to do, it would help her in many ways.”
