TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [264]; this we have had before.
2. Conditions in many ways in the physical show some improvement, though there are still weaknesses and inclinations in directions that do not at all times respond to those applications even. Yet there is being builded - if there will be held to those things that have been outlined - that which will bring for the body the greater developments physically, mentally and spiritually.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What is the condition of my body and the growth at this time?
   (A) As indicated. The growth is somewhat softened and not so large. There are tendencies for hardening in portions where the connection is with the tubes. The tissue about the body of the growth is much better and not so distorted by those activities.
5. (Q) What can be done to keep growth from refilling?
   (A) The application of those things that have been indicated, as to the vibrations that are to pass through same and the general building up of the body in its resistances to make for better eliminations in the drainages from all portions of the system.
6. (Q) Give the name of the enzyme made of the swine and kine which contains iron, which has been stated in a previous reading I should take?
   (A) This has been given. Ventriculin will be the better.
7. (Q) How do you spell it and where can I get it?
   (A) Ventricular, made by the combination of Parke, Davis.
8. (Q) Is it put up under the name as spelt here?
   (A) Ventriculin, yes.
9. (Q) What should be done to relieve congestion in throat?
   (A) There's not so much congestion in throat at present. This comes from the strain of the body in its activity, and if ths general system is built up we find this will be relieved.
10. (Q) What should be done to relieve swelling in feet and legs?
    (A) The massage over the lumbar area from which the activities go to assist in the circulation being relieved in these conditions.
11. (Q) Should I take any other treatment than the enzyme additionally?
    (A) No. Those that have been indicated should be kept. This is only added for the improvement to the circulation and in building up the resistances in the body. No more at present, though these may be changed later according to the general conditions that arise. For, changes arise. What may be necessary today may not be necessary tomorrow in some directions, but as there has been the building in certain directions as indicated it would be better to increase the vibrations in the system with the active forces of the battery and the magnetic influences, also the manipulations in the various centers where adjustments should be kept.
12. (Q) Could treatments from a chiropractor, Dr. Wahlen of Washington, D.C., heal me?
    (A) Not as we find. Not that alone, but if it desires to try it, try it - and then be sorry! [10/19/34 See 701-1 saying Dr. [701], D.C. would be a good one to treat Mrs. [264].]
13. (Q) Regarding material affairs: What suggestion could I make to Geo. L. Hume of Suffolk, Va., to enable him to help settle the Lumber Code, so I can sell tract of timber in Bladen Co., N.C.?
    (A) This involves a great many conditions that would have to be looked into separately, or that have to be met in various forms and manners. The Code in this direction necessarily ties in and has to be considered with many varied activities that have to deal with other codes. But that recent ruling as to opening and aiding varied industries that may be affected by this ruling will enable those working with this to formulate a more acceptable code in this direction. And as to these Forces giving this, it would be better worked out from the conditions that are to be met in the various centers; for what would be helpful to make for the sale of this particular tract of land in one center might not in many centers or environs be considered as the proper direction. But with the opening of these industries, this will be made possible - if the inducements are sufficient.
14. (Q) When can I sell this timber, and to whom?
    (A) These are not very good questions, in the light of that we have given respecting the type of information that might be sought or asked through these channels - unless we seek into those particular fields of activity. When? When conditions are satisfactory for the use of this particular type of lumber? As to how soon this will be depends upon when some of those that have been and are in activity have been used. How soon? The 29th of October! Can you get ready by then?
15. (Q) In what legal divisions of the U. S. Government would be advisable for me to help get a position for my husband? [See 853-3.]
    (A) In that same line or field of activity in which there has been some work already done; or in making for that activity in that particular field. And, as we find, the ways are being opened for this, and he should expect - if the correct association are kept - this be made a permanent condition.
16. (Q) In what way could I best assist him, and to whom should I go for assistance?
    (A) Most of the time it's by keeping quiet! The best way to assist in this is to insist that he himself make the proper connections and associations in this field of activity. Keep HIM at work and keep quiet yourself! [GD's note: We chuckled at this, because Mrs. [264] was a great talker.]
17. (Q) Any other suggestion which would aid me physically, mentally or spiritually, toward being healed in time to attend the June Congress of the Association?
    (A) Keep thine self in the attitude of carrying out those things that have been given for a purposefulness in thine whole activity, that is constructive in the light of spiritual basis of activity rather than selfish interests that arise from the desires at times in MATERIAL things. And let thine prayer be:
    HAVE THINE OWN WAY WITH ME, AND LET MY DESIRES AND MY MEDITATIONS GIVE PRAISE TO THEE FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND PRIVILEGES THOU, O GOD, HAST GRANTED IN THIS EXPERIENCE. AND MAY I USE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES FOR THE GLORIFICATION OF THY ACTIVITY IN THE EARTH, RATHER THAN FOR MY OWN!
18. We are through.

2. 4/27/34 She submitted questions, saying: "That chiropractor here in D.C. is Dr. Ada Wahlen and she lives in this apt. bldg. She told me she had just finished carrying away a huge tumor for a lady, and it took five months." [GD's note: Mrs. [264] was treated in N.C., before moving to Washington, by a chiropractor, Dr. Edw. P. Brenner.]

REPORTS

1. 5/18/34 She wrote: "Thank you so much for that splendid rdg. I really believe I am getting more out of it than any other rdg. I have had. I really am using it, and I'll be able to prove it to you soon.
   "The druggist got the Ventriculin for me... I am loads better in many ways."
2. 7/14/34 She obtained Business Rdg. 264-43 answering further questions re tracts of timber which she plans to sell on a commission basis.
3. 8/01/34 She wrote: "Am still taking Ventriculin. It is wonderful."
4. 8/30/34: "My physical condition has improved greatly."
5. 10/05/34 She was present for 264-44, submitting questions on her health, her mental and material affairs.
6. 12/15/34 She wrote: "I HAVE GROWN NEW TEETH [new enamel on teeth?]! I believe that by faith which I gained through the readings, and through every one of you holding on for me, and by the right diet, God is just building me all new again. You see, I have new finger nails and new hair too. The gray hair is coming out and brown hair is growing back. I just have so many things for which I am thankful. It would take a book to hold them all."
7. 2/27/35 EC wrote Mrs. [365] in re her 365-4: "Respecting the enamel on your teeth, especially, please write to Mrs. [264] ..., D.C. She will be able to tell you an experience she has had that would convince the most skeptical. Not that I am intimating you are skeptical about such being possible, but if you know that someone has done it you will perhaps have more courage to continue."
