(Q) How is the physical and mental body progressing at this
time?
(A) In many respects the conditions are progressing very
satisfactorily; in others, not so well. As we find, it
necessitates the quietness and that demeanor and manner
known by self to keep itself from becoming overtaxed, yet
the use of the abilities in the offices of judgements in
aiding others to meet their needs - by advice and counsel.
In the physical body itself, those conditions that have
disturbed the body at times are well allayed by the
properties that are being used, and - as we find - these are
the very best. When it becomes necessary, in those portions
where drainages must arise, use that which we have indicated
for the cleansing of same.
As to those conditions that arise from overtaxation, these
may be met best as the body understands.
(Q) Is the condition with the right breast progressing as
it should?
(A) As indicated, at times very good. Do not wait so long
at times in making the applications for the proper
associations of the activities.
(Q) What is the condition of the right breast?
(A) Just as indicated.
(Q) Should anything further be done for the abrasions?
(A) As we find, the best is to use the properties that have
been indicated for same; the combination of the Ash with the
other properties.
(Q) Would the sunlight following the Ash be alright instead
of lamp?
(A) Sunlight is not well following the Ash at ANY time.
Sunlight to LOWER portions of the body for drainages would
be very well, but the ultra-violet or violet light is the
better with the Ash.
(Q) How much Ash at present should be taken, and how often?
(A) An eighth of a grain twice a day.
(Q) What length of time should the light be applied?
(A) Ultra-violet one to two minutes. Violet two to four
minutes. Sunlight on lower portion three to seven minutes.
(Q) Why the pain through the back, and what should be done
for it?
(A) Sunlight. Tired. From standing.
(Q) Is it harmful to the breast condition to use the right
arm normally?
(A) No.
(Q) Is there too great an acid condition in the body?
(A) Such conditions as in this body always tend to create
too much acidity. Hence the diet and the properties to
eliminate should be alkalin and never acid. The greater
portion should be vegetable.
(Q) What should be done to produce correct bowel movement?
(A) The light in the lower portion, as just given, and the
eliminants that are alkalin in their nature.
(Q) What eliminant would be best?
(A) That depends upon the character of the diet and how much
light. Health and body appliance is a consistent thing, not
just a stab! Use an enema today, and tomorrow take an
eliminant - but be consistent! The eliminants would be
altered from time to time, as found necessary. At times
the Boal's Rolls would be very good; at others Milk of
Magnesia; at others Bismuth; at others changing about.
Let the SYSTEM act! not the stuff you are giving it!
(Q) Something should be taken each day?
(A) If necessary, but make the SYSTEM act - aren't we trying
to tell you!
(Q) Are enemas too great a strain on the body?
(A) Not if taken properly.
(Q) Why is the skin on the hands so rough, and what should
be done for it?
(A) Use any of the applications for skin food. The tendency
is for too slow circulation through the arm. This is
natural, if conditions are considered. Hence the tendency
for the skin to rough.
(Q) What would you recommend for this?
(A) Armand [almond?] cream, or the Genuine Black and White.
(Q) Is there enough Ash in the Iodex, and should the salve
be put on more heavily?
(A) It's been given as to how much should be used. That is,
mix with the Iodex a quantity that is twice the size of the
capsule the Ash is in. Do not put on broken places, but
close to the edge of same.
(Q) Should the Everlasting Tea be continued?
(A) When needed.
(Q) Should the plantain still be used?
(A) The Everlasting Tea and the plantain are both
astringent, and tend to make for less peristaltic movement
in the system. When these are used, make a balancing with
other properties in the body.
(Q) Is it just as good to use dry plantain, when the green
may not be obtained?
(A) Just as good.
(Q) What is the condition of the liver?
(A) Acid.

BACKGROUND
See
325-46 on
9/22/33 with advice continued for breast
cancer.
11/27/33 Daughter's rdg.
459-6, Par. 13-A advised that
Mrs. [
325] could help improve Mrs. [
459]'s school by
supervision, not by activity.
REPORTS
12/16/33 "I was indeed glad to be with you in your
interesting work, and I will say my reading was very good.
I had to go home to N.Y. the same day, as I took a terrible
pain in my back and as yet I have not been out.
"I was indeed glad to know Hugh Lynn better, as he has a very
sparkling personality and I like him. Gladys, too, is a very
lovely girl and her work is improving right along. I know
that the Madam [Gertrude] missed you. Well, now, as Hugh
Lynn is helping you, she will get the much needed rest as
she surely worked hard to keep up the good work."
12/22/33 EC's letter: "Yes, I am sure it has made and will
make a great deal of difference in all of the family when
they see Hugh Lynn interested and working as he has been and
is in the work of the organization. While it has been a
great disappointment to many of the family that he hasn't
chosen more of the material side of his activity, but the
sincerity of the boy, I am sure, will have and is having its
effect upon each and every one."
3/04/34 "I am terribly financially embarrassed, and being
dependent on others makes it very trying on my nerves. I
won't worry you with my affairs, as I know that you have
plenty of your own. But your reading shows you my worries.
Of course my right side worries me a great deal... Well, I
am always satisfied when I think of your work, that it is
real and it can be tried out and that it will prove itself."
3/08/34 "We are just fair. The weather has been terribly cold
and I have been out about 3 times in 3 months. I get along
very well as long as I remain away from cigar smoke, so you
see I can't go among people very often, as everyone smokes
these days."
5/13/34 Son [
257]'s ltr.: "Mother has been very ill and it
worries me so, but I have not asked for a rdg. because I know
your time is so necessary for your family needs."
5/17/34 "I am not feeling so well. As you know, we have had
and are having a pull to get through. Well, I can't explain
in a letter but what tops it all is that [[
257]'s wife [
903]]
always puts the finishing touches to me. I do not want her
to get my rdg. or know that I get one. I will tell [
257]
and show it to him myself. So, dear Judge, do not discuss
my rdg. with him. Please give me a rdg. I will be at home
any morning until eleven o'clock and here any afternoon after
three o'clock. [She submitted questions, including:] Is the
[breast] tumor being treated right and doing as it should.
What else is there to do? Would it be wise to have the tumor
taken off by an operation or just leave it alone?" [She also
submitted questions for daughters' rdgs.
558-4 and 563-4.]
5/23/34 Son's [
257]'s ltr.:
"I talked to mother about her own situation and she said that
she would not mind my checking up on her again. She is home
every morning; in fact, all day long, and I certainly would
appreciate knowing why it is that she does not look very well
and whether she is taking the ash properly. Whether the lamp
is still strong enough; what foods are best for her to eat so
that I can see that they are prepared properly for her, and
what I can do to lengthen her life by giving her full
happiness and good health. What should she take for a
regular laxative and what tonic will do her body good at this
time of the year for general upbuilding of her body? Is the
condition of her left side still as it was in the beginning
when she was so ill or has it developed more into her system?
What can she do to further protect herself from the inroads
of the condition?..."
