GC: You will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding this body.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see.
Many changes have come about in the physical forces of this body. Much improvement is seen in the general physical conditions. Ready for questions.
(Q) Was [80]'s eye condition caused by prenatal influence? If so, what and how can they be remedied?
(A) This condition, while showing already much improvement, was caused - not so much by prenatal influence (as commonly understood), yet from many conditions as may be regarded as prenatal conditions. The correction of this condition may not be wholly corrected, or brought to absolute normal condition, but the continuation of the exercises as have been outlined recently for this body will continue to strengthen the condition, so that there will not be so much of the reaction in improper way and manner. Much may be gained by this inhalation and exhalation, and by the full comprehension of that innate force within self that may build that desired by the body, in that inner conscious way and manner; for this is the builder from within, see?
(Q) Are there any points of pressure on the spine, or have such conditions been relieved?
(A) Most of the pressures along the spinal centers have been relieved. The coordinating of all muscular reaction has not been completed. The active forces of Radio-Active Appliance would assist the body in correcting this condition. Well that the plain or ordinary appliance be attached to the body, the positive anode at the brachial plexus and the negative at the wrist. This will add materially to the proper vibratory forces for the body. Attach when the body lies down to rest, and let remain until the body awakes - then remove, see? This may be alternated by attaching the negative to the wrist and the positive to the base of the brain, or at first cervical, so that the vibratory forces as set up act direct with that active force in the nerve and brain centers from the place at base of brain, see?
(Q) What causes [80] to continually move his head when reading?
(A) Improper coordination, and that we are attempting to bring about in proper way and manner, which is being accomplished through suggestion given, and will be aided MATERIALLY by the vibratory forces as set up in the Radio-Active Appliance.
(Q) As to diet, have the changes made therein brought to him all the food elements necessary? If not, what should be added?
(A) The diet is VERY good, and shows in the physical abilities, as the exercising of the body has accomplished with and under that diet. We would not change from same, as is seen at present.
(Q) What, if anything, should be added to the particular work which is being done for his eyes?
(A) We would not change from those being given, save that of the vibratory forces as outlined.
(Q) Can anything else be done to prevent a return of that nervous trouble?
(A) The continuation of those suggestions and that added vibration that will prevent the re-occurrence of the pressure on those centers in the upper cervical region.
(Q) Any further suggestions for the improvement of this body?
(A) Follow out those as given, for persistence must be the keynote with the bringing about of proper coordination with this body, and CONSISTENT with same.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

7/60 Dr. W. N. Pahnke's note re. case [80] in preparing a resume of 96 cases of epilepsy:
"This case was classified in group 1. There is a good possibility of the diagnosis of epilepsy. Nervous spells were described. The patient was also described as jerking his head backward and forward a great deal. This description also could indicate brain damage."
