TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find, the general debilitation and the effects of toxic forces arise from the lack of the proper activity of the organs of elimination. Also the tendencies towards toxic forces cause the depressions to the body, the inclinations for the headache, the languidness, the easy tiring, and the shortness of breath.
4. We would have a stimulation to the activity of the liver and kidneys, or the whole hepatic circulation, and a cleansing of the whole colon area.
5. And when there is taken a cathartic or laxative, let this preferably be of the vegetable nature; but during the periods such would be taken, we would also use enemas to cleanse the colon area. Thus the body will find it will respond very much better.
6. A stimulation osteopathically of all the centers along the cerebrospinal system would be a material aid to giving strength, though the first one or two would tend to tire the body. But if these are given carefully, they should bring great help to the body.
7. Refrain from any large quantities of meats in the diet. Have fresh raw vegetables often, though cooked vegetables, broths or soups, or even vegetables with some meat cooked in same, should be taken; but this should be the greater quantity of the meat taken for this body, especially until greater strength has been attained by the body.
8. Do these if we would bring the better forces for this body, [979].
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is an operation necessary to remove the cataract?
    (A) As we find, this might be prevented if the general strength of the body would be the better stimulated and if there would be used the low electrical vibratory force under the direction of the right kind of eye, ear and nose and throat specialist.
    Or, should the body desire, it may use instead the violet ray at home (hand machine), with the Double Eye Applicator. This would not be given too strong, and only for half to a minute every other day. But be sure the rest of the general health is looked after too, else this may cause irritation and precipitate matters for the body.
11. We are through with this Reading.

   PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS CAREFULLY
   (1) In your opinion did the analysis of the Reading cover the condition? In many yes.
   (2) Give symptoms of condition described correctly? All except the last two or three readings. The last two or three did not give much & one seemed to be mixed up with another party or parties. It was not satisfactory.
   (3) What was the physician's analysis of this condition? Physician did not give as perfect analysis as the reading, in some readings the Dr. followed the reading entirely.
   (4) Have the suggestions given in the Reading been followed exactly as outlined? As far as possible yes.
   (5) For how long? As long as reading gave.
   (6) Describe the extent to which improvements have resulted? At different times in the years I have had these readings. I felt they did MUCH good. The last few years I have felt I got very little benefit from them. I had two readings that gave VERY little, and I felt so bad. At last I went to a Dr. & had a thorough examination. He said I had an enlarged spleen caused from continuous malaria. I have taken medicine & shots for this but still do not feel well far from it. Guess am just getting old & wearing out. I have not felt able to give as would like to your cause as I have no income. I greatly appreciated the kindness of your father. Many many readings I have had for others. He has always been so prompt in giving readings and one he gave for my brother [570] was indeed a life saver my brother thinks so too.
   I wrote you some weeks ago asking if you (or he) would give me a copy of the reading he gave my Son [2657] while in the hospital in Atlanta. You did not mention it, so am asking again if you would please give me this copy. Mrs. [654] re quested the reading for her brother just a short time before his death. I talked with your father just a few min. while he was in Selma. He told me he gave the reading & sent it to the hospital by wire but I never received it, that is why I would like so much to see what it gave, if I had had it in time could he have been saved.
   My life reading was a wonder to me, it gave in one entity where I had been in the household of King Chas. the 2nd & I know your father did not even know my maiden name was "Stewart". He gave me many things in this reading that was SO true one where I had always loved to hear the story told of the children going into the holy land. Yes, all except the last two or three readings have been fine & true. I could not understand why these last ones were not so good. If I ever get to where I can contribute to your work will be more than glad to do so just now I can't.

3. 11/01/44 She wrote about her brother [570]'s daughter wanting a rdg. for her husband. "My health has not been so good the last year, but now that the cool weather is here am feeling better. Was 75 the 30th of Sept., so can't expect to be as I was at 16."
