TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [310] ..., Alabama. You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading for this entity, with suggestions and advice for the correction and upbuilding of each of these. You will also answer the questions which she will ask you regarding all phases of her life.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body; the enquiring mind, [310].
3. In the physical forces of the body, these - while very good in many respects - have disorders and distresses that precautions taken as respecting them will aid the body in better functioning throughout the physical body. Especially is this true respecting the tissue, soft tissue in throat, face, head, and nostril. These, as we find, would be benefitted most by the use of an inhalant that would be prepared in this manner:
4. Put 4 ounces of grain alcohol in an 8 ounce rather wide-mouth glass-stoppered container or bottle. To this add, and IN THIS MANNER add:

   Eucalyptol..............................20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp...................10 minims,
Benzosol................................10 minims,
Tincture of Benzoin.....................10 minims,
Canadian Balsam..........................5 minims,
Tolu in solution, or Tincture of........40 minims.

   Shake the solution together when this is to be inhaled, which should be inhaled into the throat, bronchial and lungs, and through the nostril. This will relieve this tension, and the tendency for cold; also those conditions that make for tautness in head, face, and nasal cavities. Use deep breathing when inhaling same.
5. We would also, for that general debilitation as produces at times an irritation to the capillary circulation, to the internal organs, the Radium Appliance or pad - Double X in strength.
6. Be mindful that the body keeps the feet dry. Do not over expose self to colds and congestions, or fevers.
7. In the matter of the diet, keep those of a general and full building; plenty of the proteins, and especially of such that carry the Vitamin C. These, as we will find, will be aided in their materialization - by the character of the food - when the Radium pad is worn.
8. In the mental body, this keep in accord with those tenets that have been set before self, keeping in accord with that attitude which has so long been held as the entity's relationships to individuals, and conditions existent in the body-physical, the body-mental, and the social, physical, and material relationships with others. Strive not against those things that apparently irritate in the mental attitudes of others, for God's purposes are not defeated in the services rendered. Let the yeas be yea, and the nays be nay - for GOD giveth the increase. God worketh His own wonders to perform, using individuals in their various spheres when they approach every attitude with "Thy will be done, O Lord, not my will." Project not thine self into others' forces or others' lives, other than as a reflection of Him. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Where should Radium pad be worn?
   (A) Across the solar plexus of days - that is, the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal. Of evenings it may be laid for a few minutes across the chest or head, or across the abdomen.

    (A) Causes the stiffness also. Poor circulation. Poor eliminations.
13. (Q) What causes the intense pains at times in right side, causing discomfort at seasons in rectal area?
    (A) These are pains of a reflex nature, from the vitality being used up, and the system's attempting to adjust itself through these various periods with those losses of conditions in system. Hence the RADIUM reflex, or Radium Active forces for the system, is to clarify the conditions of body, giving vitality and strength, and acumen in the effectiveness of each vibratory force.

    (A) In the Spring should be the period, as has been outlined, for these conditions are going to be better - through those activities of the various boards in their next meeting, which should be in April or May, when there should be those associations and connections made. These, as we should find, will be the most helpful.
20. (Q) Does place now exist, or will it develop in time?
    (A) Develop! Of course, there has been the curtailment of the work, or the laborers in these fields, rather than additions - but these are to be developed in these next meetings of these various boards, see?
21. (Q) What definite steps for securing it?

22. (Q) When should business course be started?
    (A) May be taken immediately, if so desired. This should be in the form of the companionate clerical work; that is, some stenography, some bookkeeping, some correspondence, see? Secretarial status - so that in the work in the general way, these may be the most helpful, see? made to fit in with any, so that - should the occasion arise - which will, with these endeavors that should be in the state work, or in the National work - the entity would be acting in the capacity of an aide to the ministers in the various fields, through various periods of its work in the various departments.
23. (Q) Give definite suggestions for getting roomers.
    (A) These, as we find, may be best by word of mouth, and the various characters that are necessary or needed. Just as one may attract others by the thought being sent out, by word of mouth and to others, THIS the best way and manner.

26. (Q) Under what terms or plans?
    (A) These had best be worked out between themselves. The varied circumstances or the changes that might be necessary in the affairs of each may be best met by the comparison of that necessary in the affairs of each, and that they expect to accomplish, that they expect to do with same.
27. (Q) Is best being done at present in methods of living, thinking, or how could improvements be made?
    (A) These have been referred to in the mental attitude of the individual. These are the better. Do that.
28. (Q) In view of future, should there be a gradual disposition of house furnishings as opportunity affords? or should all be disposed of, or stored when move is made?
    (A) Stored or disposed of when move is made. Let this be a development of the conditions as they develop in the efforts as to be put forth, rather than bringing one to bear that the other may happen - see?
29. (Q) Any other advice that will be of help for this entity at this time?
    (A) Keep the face toward the light and the shadows will fall behind. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 1/30/31 "The reading is more than wonderful, and as it is my first physical revelation, how I wish you and time and conditions would all let me just rave about it...that information never could have been more true to the mark, and how much relieved I do feel not to have any more of the anxious thoughts. Am going about to follow directions closely...
   "Thanks much for investment suggestion - am acting upon this... [Brother-in-law [4788]] is being wonderful to me as to business, and information was quite complimentary to him, I thought, as I sent him a copy of only the questions pertaining to investment. It agreed exactly with his and my ideas."
2. 6/28/31 She said her circulation was better; she had followed everything in the rdg. except securing the Radium Appliance, had not started that yet.
3. 9/05/31 She wrote: "For the past few days I have been adding some of the finishing touches to the business course, as well as having more and more time devoted to dictation, transcribing, etc. Nothing definite as to work yet, still I had to be positive as to plans for the house for another year, and decided to keep it, until something did develop for me. Seem best to hold to what I have, do further study, etc. in my own home, than change about too much. Have three young men, but two of the main RENT PAYERS, asked me recently to DOUBLE them together, and I am exceedingly eager to rent the vacant room, and thereby bring my income from the house to what it has been." [She submitted further questions for a rdg.]
