TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the relief and improvement of same, and you will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body here - this we have had before.
3. Now, we find many of the physical conditions existent in the system as we have had and have given here before. While much change is apparent in the body, this has more to do with the mental attitude and the spiritual outlook and aspect of the individual as an individual, and - as has been given - were those suggestions given in the way and manner, in the persistent, consistent way and manner as has been outlined for the body, and those physical applications made for the corrections of existent conditions that have to do with the condition existent in the auditory system, we would find we would bring the near NORMAL condition for this body. We would do that, for the physical should have that highest condition possible within self to manifest the better for the development of the body in the physical, mental and spiritual forces of same. Do that, if it would bring the best to this body, [960]. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Has Dr. Richardson diagnosed the case correctly?
   (A) Diagnosed the case correctly so far as the osteopathic operation and manipulation. So far as that of the psychic force as to be applied to the body through the suggestions, THIS goes farther - for, as has been given, one applied without the other will not bring that full complete reaction in the system. One applied alone will not bring proper reaction. Correction in the physical manner and those suggestions. The mental being of the individual will awaken that necessary condition within the body for the full, the complete recovery, and the reaction of auditory forces in the body, as well as the awakening of those spiritual evidences within same of that necessary reaction of body to those mental and spiritual forces within the body. Do that as given.
5. (Q) How many treatments would be necessary?
   (A) Of the treatments for correction of conditions in the Eustachian Tube and the auditory centers, sixteen to eighteen (16 to 18) treatments. For those as for the general conditions, these may be given between such periods.
6. (Q) Will it be a permanent cure?
   (A) As given, these are the conditions to bring that which builds in the system for the individual reaction in the body. Hence these conditions awakened, and the physical conditions relieved, bring a PERMANENT cure. One without the other would NOT be a permanent cure. There must be the application of the physical and of the mental body. The mental body builds through those suggestions as given to be applied to the body in the consistent, in the persistent manner. Be not weary in well doing, nor count time or money as toward building that which will give the body that necessary for the better manifestation and building of self through this physical period.
7. (Q) Will the final result recompense the body for going through these treatments?
   (A) As given, these are for the building of that through which the real individual manifests in the material plane - for, as the individual has shut self to much of the conditions, so must the individual be awakened in this plane to meet the needs of the development for the mental and spiritual body. In an hindered PHYSICAL body this may not be as complete as in one physically fit. Hence this would more than recompense, not only the individual but all those who assist the individual to be able to manifest in the physical, mental and spiritual manner.
8. (Q) Is there any other doctor in New York City that can give these treatments as well as Dr. Richardson?
   (A) As given, this the better. Others may go a portion of the way. We do not find them bringing the results as may be obtained through Richardson's efforts; for, as given, Richardson is the BEST in this particular condition.
9. (Q) What would be the most advisable thing to do - permit the boy to remain in ... High School while these treatments are going on or send him to a paid school in New York, as for instance the McBurney School?
   (A) Remain in the same school for the continuation of present semester. When changes occur we would change for the INDIVIDUAL development as well as for the conditions in the body.
10. (Q) Can you name a doctor that can help?
    (A) There may be MANY that may HELP. If the condition is to be applied, do not attempt save through that way and manner as given.
11. (Q) What school would you advise sending the boy to after he is cured?
    (A) Any of those that are of the prep nature, toward that of the law.
12. (Q) Would you send him away from home?
    (A) Better to be under the supervision of those that should guide through the subconscious forces of the body, for THESE are as necessary as the development in school or in body - for the body-physical, the body-mental, the body-spiritual must be as a unit; for the condition as existent is as an ensample of imperfect coordination in a highly developed mental body, yet not coordinating with the physical and spiritual forces of the body.
13. We are through for the present.
