TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [631]; this we have had before.
2. Much better conditions exist in the physical forces of the body in the present than when last we had same here. While there is much more to be desired, yet if the body will MENTALLY keep the proper attitudes towards not only the healing of the mental or physical body but toward being healed for a purpose, for a usefulness in its relationships to others, much faster progress could be made. Get that attitude.
3. As to the activities of the digestive system, we find there are still those tendencies for reactions to cause the formation of gas in the intestines as well as in the stomach proper. Or there is very poor coordination between the flow of the lacteals from the upper portion or the cardiac portion of the stomach and those in the pylorus and the pyloric end of stomach. So, there is a regurgitation through or from the duodenum through the pylorus. Hence there is caused the tendency for the reaction to be that of gas; pains, belching; the abdomen swelling at times. This may be eliminated if there are the proper precautions taken as to the quantities of the food values that are the alkalin-producing; and then taking with same, or after same, the properties that have been indicated - though we would alter these in the present, not other than to set the system more in accord with the activity of the body in the present. Instead of using the Milk of Bismuth with the Lactated Pepsin, we would use that pepsinized preparation - or Alcaroid; a quarter teaspoonful in a full glass of water taken after each meal, first dissolved in a small quantity of water and then stirred in a full glass of water. This will reduce the acidity and make for the lacteal duct flow not to be in excess, but as to overcome this regurgitation.
4. Keep those massages consistently; not as rote, but that they will be done for something and that something is being accomplished. For unless ANY individual soul may experience that creative forces are working in and through whatever may be applied, there's little hope! And if there is a recurrence, of what good is it? Know that creative forces are working, being good for something, and that wherever or whenever there is life it is of the Creative Force and is offering an opportunity to the soul for its own development.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) What can be done for the insomnia?
   (A) Take the vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance; this will put one to sleep!
7. (Q) What should be done for the itching on various parts of the body, especially in the heels?
   (A) Massage them with the oils that have been indicated, especially the bursae and particularly from the Achillean bursa.
8. (Q) What is the cause of the occasional soreness under the last rib?
   (A) The lower area of the lacteal duct where it has been given in some months past that there is an adhesion. Hence the oil packs as indicated for a portion of the body. And when this reoccurs, it would be well to use same - the hot oil packs across the portion, to relax and relieve that tendency of adhesion which is produced by the condition existent; which, of course, is the lack - or is why the system tends to create those salts in the system that solidify in portions of the tendons as indicated in the extremities.
9. (Q) Do you advise goat milk for the body?
   (A) It's very good. Mare's milk would be better, if you want the best for the body!
10. (Q) Do you advise that the body continue all the treatments as outlined?
    (A) Read just that given! Except the change as made in that for the assimilations, after the eating!
11. (Q) Should the Wet Battery be used?
    (A) There should be used both the Wet Battery and the Radio-Active, and especially the Radio-Active when it wants to sleep. The Wet Battery is for the changing of vibrations through cells in the system, and the carrying of those through the active principles of the activities through portions of the glands. These are necessary.
12. (Q) Why does the body feel bad apparently on good days?
    (A) The reactions from the pressure created in the system by the change in the atmospheric pressures.
13. (Q) Any other suggestions for the body at this time?
    (A) Do as has been outlined, consistently, persistently; knowing and feeling that good can come, is coming, if you will do something with it when you have it!
14. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 5/03/35 Letter from [631] to EC: "Just a few lines to keep you posted as to my condition. Since my last rdg. am feeling quite well in almost every respect but the pain and discomfort in moving about.
   "The swellings in knees and left hand have not gone down, still have pain in shoulders and right ankle and lately both ankles become swollen every day. Still have the contractions in back of knees and general discomfort throughout body. Some days not as bad as others.
   "As to my battery have not ordered it as yet as I prefer getting it through some other source than Dr. Reilly or Mr. Ladd. I know several people who have ordered and paid in full for batteries almost two months ago, and have not received them as yet.
   "I'm greatly disappointed that I am not getting more normal in getting around. Am on my ninth month of treatments..."
2. 5/06/35 EC wrote [631] urging her to use the Appliance.
3. 6/23/35 Letter from [631] to EC from Hotel White, Lexington Ave. at 37th Street, N.Y.C.: "I did not write earlier this month as I knew you are pretty busy with the Congress going on. Am truly sorry that I could not attend, as I would very much have enjoyed doing so.
   "Had been getting along very nicely but seem to have had a relapse the past two weeks. Altho I am a great deal better than I was three months ago. I can get around and do practically everything for myself.
   "As soon as I'm better off financially would like to have another reading..."
4. 7/06/36 EC's letter to Mr. [333]: "Sat. afternoon Mrs. [631] came to see us. She is just looking fine, walks about well, has excellent use of herself, and her hands are in so much better shape. One would scarcely notice that anything had been the matter with them. A very marvelous experience."
