GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body that I will ask you.
EC: We have the body here. We have had this before, you see. There are many changes in the physical forces of the body since we had this here. Most of these have been for the betterment and improvement of the physical forces, yet there are many conditions, and some specific conditions, that should have specific changes for the better physical forces of this body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the condition of the tonsils, and should they be removed?
(A) These should be removed, by all means, but not by the knife. Rather by absorption, or by finger surgery, which would be removing the condition, the cause, and the reflexes as are seen in many of the functioning portions of the system; for the conditions are such that the body is absorbing poisons in the system, and the result is that there are being weaknesses formed in various portions of the body that are detrimental, and that these are (these poisons) seeking out those weakest portions to prevent, as it were, elimination from the system, and weakening these portions of the body, these would bring about very detrimental conditions later on in the life. Do not remove them, however, by the KNIFE. Remove same by preparing system, and by removing with the finger surgery.
(Q) In what way should the system be prepared for this?
(A) By the necessary massage and adjustments as will be made!
(Q) How would this be done by absorption?
(A) In this same manner as we have given - for when we start eliminations - and finger surgery means removing that decayed portion, see? and by massage or stimulating in the system, so that eliminations are so set up that the body throws off the poisons as have been and are accumulating and are weakening the system in various portions of the body, see? for as the condition exists we have that first bacilli showing which is the forerunner of rheumatic conditions and its subsequent effects in various portions of the body - neurosis, neurotics, arthritis - all nerve conditions - as is seen, the highest vibration in the body is being affected through this very same condition; as is seen by the suppression or the profuseness at times - that is, in frequent reaction in the menstrual periods, see? for this recurrent, or this continuation almost of this action is that weakness as is produced in the glands by this absorption, which is weakening to the body. This is merely ONE of the results of this existent poisonous condition existing in the body, [563].
(Q) What is the condition of nose and ears?
(A) All tissue involved in this same poison as being absorbed, as are ALL the organs of the sensory system. Remove that producing the trouble, and we will remove the cause of these irritations.
(Q) Is that all that is necessary to be done?
(A) That is all that is necessary to be done to bring about the near normal conditions for this body, [563]. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

4/17/25 See 563-1 for scarlet fever.
4/12/27 Mother [325]'s ltr.: "I would like for you to give [563] a Physical Rdg. Be sure and take in the throat, tonsils, nose, ears. The main thing is the uterus. Why does she menstruate every 2 wks., and the cure for same? Tell me something for her disposition and the best way to handle her. Must her tonsils be removed? Dear Judge, please get this very soon. [563] has been sick with a very bad cold. She is such a good child - I hate to see her ill."

REPORTS

5/05/27 EC's letter to Mrs. [325]: "Enclosed herewith is the rdg. gotten for [563]. It in itself, I am sure, is self-explanatory, and I hope you can have the suggestions carried out as they are given. I'm sure there is someone there who can handle this situation. Possibly the best man in this line is located here in Norfolk - Dr. M. L. Richardson. However, there is an excellent man there by the name - [Dr. Curtis H. Muncie, D.O.?] well, I've just lost track of his name, but there is one man there who makes a specialty of that work. I am sure you will be able to locate him from some of the others."
5/04/28 See 563-3.
