TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions which have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Now as we find with this body, while there has not been the full advancement as has been desired, nor the improvement, the condition is very well understood.
4. And changing in the present, until there has been sufficient time for the reactions of the administrations given, would not be the most advisable in the present.
5. As related to the causes and the disturbances, these arise as we find from a combination of the disturbances; as the lack of the coordination through the eliminating forces of the system itself, the attempt or the inclination for segregations in the system such as to produce pressures on portions of the locomotion.
6. But we would keep close to the outlined diets, - except we would add the Jerusalem artichoke as means for supplying the quantities of insulin necessary for a better coordination in the effect upon the pancreas and the kidneys, and the eliminations as related to - and the coordination between - the upper and lower hepatic circulation. This we would advise about twice each week; once raw; once cooked - a Jerusalem artichoke about the size of a common hen egg or the like. Do not overcook, nor undercook, - but prepare as you would an Irish potato, taking it out as soon as it is mealy.
7. The other stimulations or administrations through diet we would keep. To keep the proper balance without producing a greater stress upon the eliminations is the better.
8. These as we find would be the best, then, for the body in the present.
9. Should there arise other conditions, or should there NOT be the proper reaction, THEN we may give those of other factors. But in the present these should not be disturbed with, - other than this addition to the diet as we have indicated in the present.
10. Ready for questions, [1748].
11. (Q) Would the body's health be directly benefitted by moving from her present home into a new one?
    (A) As we find, such changes are not so much necessary as the keeping of an attitude of constructiveness within the present environs, see?
12. (Q) Then, all the instructions by the Cleveland doctors should be continued?
    (A) Save add these as indicated; twice a week, say Tuesdays and Fridays, the Jerusalem artichoke; one time raw, one time cooked.
13. We are through for the present.

   Miss Gladys Davis, Association for Research & Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Miss Gladys:
   I understand that the hour set for Mrs. [1748] is 2:30 to 3:30 P.M., Tuesday, November 15th; and, therefore, hasten these facts to you, together with questions.
   Mrs. [1748] has been informed of the hour and she will be receptive in her home in quiet meditation. The name is: [1748], born - August 28, 1883, Clay City, Indiana. Her address, where she lives at present and where she will be tomorrow afternoon, is ..., Ohio.
   The following questions I would suggest you ask (this is for a physical reading):
   (1) Can you clearly indicate the cause of the entity's, [1748] ill health?
   (2) Please give definite instructions how to improve the entity's diet.
   (3) What other means the entity should take to bring about a satisfactory health condition.
   (4) Should all the instructions given the entity by Cleveland doctors, which she is now following, be continued? If not, which ones should be continued and which ones discontinued?
   (5) Would the entity's health be directly benefitted by moving from her present home into a new one? If so, would you indicate whether such a move is possible and how it can be accomplished.
   I am enclosing a check in the amount of $20.00 for this purpose.
   With high regards, I am [1151]
