TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes. These acute disturbances - that cause the nausea, the headaches, the general tiredness all over - are the result of the conditions which we have indicated in the digestive system.
3. And, as we find, there should he used that form of the low electrical forces as we have suggested for this body, - this with the Wet cell Appliance, but both plates or connections from same to the one plate - and this attached to the area in the upper dorsal, or the 4th and 5th dorsal, and the feet in water when this is attached, see?
4. Then the general massage osteopathically, relaxing the body.
5. And do keep eliminations better, whether this is done by diet or the administration of laxatives. Do not use just one type for this body, - alternate them from the minerals to the vegetable compounds; as: Senna Tea at times, or the Syrup of Figs, or any of the properties having Senna as the basis active principle. Or the citrocarbonates, - as in Sal Hepatica or Eno Salts, or the Crazy Crystals, - these as the minerals, but alternated between these various combinations of different minerals, see?
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Why do I get so depressed a times, and can't think or remember?
   (A) Because of pressures from the areas indicated, that come from the stirring up of the conditions in the digestive system.
8. (Q) Any other advice?
   (A) Do not overeat, but be consistent in the general activities. Plenty of rest, as well as plenty of activity. We are through with this Reading.

2. 3/01/43 "I haven't been very well for some time. Have taken two osteopathic treatments and am feeling some better now, but have suffered quite a bit since Xmas... Tell me why I lose control of myself so much. I am better of crying spells, but I just can't think, and don't remember... I am reading your book (THERE IS A RIVER) and enjoying it."

REPORTS

1. 8/30/45 Sister [243]'s letter: "[482] was taken very sick with terrible pains in stomach and we were panicky, not being able to get a rdg. We feared gastric ulcers, was what the doctor thought. Sister [340] got out all the rdgs. and we found one she had with similar attack, except this seemed worse - may have been we all felt lost without EC, but we used the information and she is now up - not quite herself yet, but we are keeping on the diet and she is coming through alright."
2. 5/18/47 Letter from sister, Case [243]: "She was taken sick with convulsions one right after the other. At the hospital the doctor said she had blocked heart with uremic poison... finally after working with her they stopped those terrible spells and got uremia under control. Last Thursday they said her trouble was something else and an operation was necessary. So on Fri. morning they operated. They tell us now she will be alright, but is still very sick... How we have missed the counsel of the readings!"
3. 8/07/47 Letter from the same sister: "Her illness was so serious & for weeks we were so worried about her, but she is doing nicely now; is able to go out in car for ride and to church, not yet well enough to take up household duties."
4. 7/15/66 Sister [340] wrote that Mr. [482] was still living.
5. 1/18/68 Sister [340]'s letter: "My sister [482] is very sick - last Wed. 10th she had a stroke - yes, quite severe - affecting her left side, face drawn, no use of her left arm or left leg - tho' the Dr. says she has fair reflex in her leg - but she can't stand - she is fully conscious. She is in the hospital - the Dr. has gotten her blood pressure down and says she is doing as well as possible, all things considered - and altho' it will take time, she will come out of it... If you have anything on it in the files won't you please write me?"

7. 1/30/68 Sister [340]'s letter: "They are dismissing [482] from the Hospital on the 31st, so maybe the nurse will follow the suggestions. Of course she is much better but is going to have a good deal of care - they also discovered she has a diabetic condition. So we need all the help we can get."
