TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the improvement of same. You will tell us why this body does not respond to the treatments being accorded the body and if there is error in any of them. You will answer any other questions I may ask you regarding these conditions.
2. EC: Yes, we have had this body here before. We find that the body overtaxes self through worry more than that being applied in the system can equalize, without accentuating the nerve conditions in the system.
3. There should be the continuation, in a careful, persistent and consistent manner, of the application of Radio-Active Appliance and of the Radium Appliance both to the system, but not so much that they become a burden to the body.
4. Eat that which is easily assimilated; not overtaxing the eyes nor the nerve system, but putting that faith, confidence, in those conditions being applied which will bring and ARE bringing the better conditions for the body.
5. Use the Radium Appliance across the eyes at least two minutes each day, preferably morning and evening, see?
6. When the body rests from the Radium Appliance for three hours in the evening, THEN apply the Radio-Active Appliance forces to the body, in the way that has been given. Do not allow same to remain on the body longer than one hour and a half. Keep plenty of ice in the battery. Do not allow anodes to become covered with any moisture or with any condition that brings the change of the charge to the system.
7. Keep these up, for we will find these WILL bring better conditions and relief from this condition with the eyes, with the digestion, with the whole system; assisting the hearing - for this we see is at a better state at present than we have had it before, see?
8. Be consistent. Be persistent. Be patient and painstaking with the diet for self that will build in the system that RESISTANCE necessary to bring better conditions for the body.
9. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 3/09/26 She obtained Ck. Physical Rdg. 147-28 advising further in re dry catarrhal condition [hypertrophic rhinitis] causing long standing deafness and eye trouble.
2. 4/23/26 She wrote she was using the Radium Pad and Radio-Active Appliance, although no improvement had been seen as yet.
3. 4/27/26 EC wrote encouraging letter, saying he would get a ck. rdg. for her as soon as possible.

REPORTS

1. 5/08/26 She wrote thanking EC, saying: "I have felt better the past two days than I have for months. My eyes have been painful, but not so much so last night, and you say my hearing is better, and I am better in every way, and I FEEL this morning I really am... I'm trying my best to PRACTICE what you have advised, and think I'm doing it, even though in a small way - but we have to creep before we walk, don't we?"
2. 7/23/26 She wrote: "I had so hoped I would have something encouraging to report, but it is the same. I can just hear a voice when right up to my ear and can scarcely hear anything with my instrument. My ear feels as if it were swollen tight, inside.
   "No change in my eyes that I can tell.
   "Shall I or shall I not keep on with the battery? I have to have ice brought 12 miles, which makes it very expensive, but I shan't stop if you find I should continue.
   "I don't want to bother you with my troubles but I have no place else to take them."
3. 8/20/26 EC gave her Ck. Physical Rdg. 147-30.
