TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of the body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same.
EC: Yes, we have the body here.
Now, there are many changes, as we see, since last we had this body. Some for the better. Some not so good.
The condition as is seen in the bone is of the tubercle nature, and is hard to combat with, under the stress the body has often been subjected to.
The keeping up of those inhalants [See 25-3 Reports.] as has been given, and of those of the applications to the limbs and knees, and various portions, will be the better conditions for the body, would they keep the eliminations going as thoroughly as is correct - that is, do not give any properties as to cause an excess of the intestinal retraction through too much accumulation of the juices, and of the exercising of the functioning of the organs and of the tissue throughout the intestinal tract, for this would only tend to weaken the condition, so as to spread this throughout the system. This should be in a place where the direct attention could be given from day to day, to bring about the permanent relief, for the change is sudden throughout the system, for the blood and the bone building structure being involved, tissue becomes easily involved, when diet is not kept perfectly balanced.
We would keep up, though, the rubs, keep up those inhalants, [See 25-3 Reports] and be very careful as to the diet.
The electrical vibration improperly given in some respects, for this has tended to excite the glands of the system, rather than subsidizing the condition in the blood. This should have been made that vibration as is seen in Rino or Alpine Ray, for this would be rather as the strainer for the blood than that of a stimulation to locomotory centers in the nerve and tissue systems, see?
Keep up those as has been given. This will bring the better condition.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

8/15/26 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...The day after you gave reading two x-rays were taken of my son; 1 of chest and 2 of knee. The doctor said no sign of tuberculosis in lungs and none in knee only a sign of inflammation and ordered a clamp to straighten the knee. I know that you can tell just the true condition, now the doctor has gone away for 3 weeks, the nurse to give treatment (electric). Can you tell me what diet, also you have never mentioned his lungs, he has to take a long breath every now and then as if he didn't get enough air. Do x-rays deceive? I have never had experience in TB... He does not complain of knees, cannot use right one in walking... There is no swelling. Should I use Epsom salts bath or salt and vinegar as in one reading for stiffness?..."
8/19/26 EC replied, giving diet suggestion, beef juice, green vegetables, etc. Salts packs once each day.
8/23/26 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...Would be so glad for another reading any time except from 4 till 6 in P.M., as he will take electric treatment then. Would like to know condition of lungs, bronchial tubes, why shortness of breath, now and then if kidneys are right. Why the knee remains stiff... If possible to tell, mental and spiritual condi- tion; he does not talk much; seems despondent; has been sick so long. If I only knew what he could do well in...now he reads current news and fiction. Will not go about since being crippled. Am giving blood medicine. Seems to have gas after meals, not much appetite...greatly appreciate your help and will pay you soon. Pray for us..."
9/23/26 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...My son seems about the same. Has to clear his throat often; seems to have digestive trouble with gas on stomach, hurts right knee to try to straighten it. Shall keep up blood medicine you prescribed?... If you could tell me even what he has done or was in last appearance, would be so glad, but not if too much trouble..."
