TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he has submitted as I ask them.
EC: Yes.
Now, as we find, the improvements are MOST excellent.
There have been many changes in other directions since last we had the body here, - as related to the activities of the eye, or the injuries which existed in the eye, however, we find much improvement.
We would take, now, about twice each week, the osteopathic manipulations, - a general manipulation at one treatment and a specific adjustment at the next, as has been indicated.
The application of the electrical forces directly to the eyeball should be about once every two weeks, just sufficient that the absorptions created by such activities are continued to be aided in being eliminated by the massage and the osteopathic adjustments through their regular channels.
That there has been the correction of the pupil itself, and that there is a continued reaction from the optic center and the optic nerve, is most promising. Thus, if there are the proper precautions taken, as to diet, as to the use of the eyes also, we should find - as indicated - at least fifty to seventy-five to eighty percent of vision restored to the optic that is disturbed.
Do that, then, in the manner as has been indicated.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should any osteopathic treatment be given directly to eyeball?
(A) Rather, as indicated, that which aids in the better drainages through the area itself. Little or none to the eyeball itself.
The nerves from the vagus center to the optics, as well as those that receive the impulse through the lachrymal ducts, - these may be stimulated.
(Q) Have the osteopathic treatments been given as directed in the reading?
(A) If they hadn't been, we wouldn't have the same suggested!
(Q) Any special type of treatment by Erlanger?
(A) As indicated, so that the nerve forces will aid in making for a better flow of the energies through the optic centers, as well as the area ABOUT the pupil and the cornea.
(Q) What effect has the electrical treatment had on eye?
(A) This is aiding yet to make much better conditions, if it is not given too long and too often, see? Hence, as indicated, this would be given about once in two weeks, you see, - but give it regularly until at least there is a clearing up of all of those conditions, or until there is the reabsorption of those properties that tend to make the film about the cornea.
(Q) When should I see additional results and benefits?
(A) According to thy faith, be it ALL unto thee! It should be a CONTINUOUS thing.
(Q) Has the appendicitis operation helped me physically?
(A) Why should you have had it done, if it wasn't a help to the body!
Of course, this has aided in clearing those disturbances which existed. That there are still the effects of the subjugation of the whole nervous system, of course, is to be expected; but the proper osteopathic manipulations will aid in clearing the system of the effect of the anaesthesia more than ANY way it can be, provided - of course - there is kept a little above normal in alimentary eliminations.
(Q) Is the incision healing properly?
(A) It's very good.
(Q) How often and how much longer should Radio-Active Appliance be used?
(A) If it is NOT to the advantage of the body in that it gives an opportunity for the use of its spiritual balance, leave it off! For it can be made very detrimental!
But if it is used at the period for the body to meditate and pray, thus making a better coordination between all of its mental and spiritual and physical forces, the longer it is used the better! not at one period, of course, but continuously over a long period, for the whole of the mental and spiritual and physical reactions.
This is beneficial to ANYONE, PROPERLY used! It is harmful, improperly used.
You can't use the Radio-Active Appliance and be a good "cusser" or "swearer," - neither can you use it and be a good hater. For it will work as a boomerang to the whole of the nervous system if used in conjunction with such an attitude.
It is the coordinating effect of the balancing powers in the nervous system, as related to the mental and physical and spiritual bodies, that becomes active with the use of such an Appliance.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

6/16/39 - Friday evening - 8th Annual Congress of A.R.E., Hotel Warner, Virginia Beach, Va.:
Dr. Curtis Hudgins of Norfolk, Virginia reported on his observation and treatment of twenty-three cases on whom readings had been given. Dr. Frank Dobbins, who came from New York to be present for this meeting, reported his observations and experiences with cases selected from over two hundred individuals who had obtained physical readings. Both of these doctors emphasized the accuracy, range and benefits derived. Some two hundred members and friends were present at this meeting.
Re Case [1844]: Dr. Dobbins said he would not have taken this case without the reading referring it to him, as he could not possibly see how his treatments could help the young man's eye condition. It was not the type of case ordinarily treated by an osteopath. Yet in following the treatment as suggested in the reading on 3/17/39, the young man is now able to see the 4th line of the chart and his eye is getting clearer every day.
6/23/39 [257]'s letter to EC: "...[1844] is now able to see the 4th line of the chart and his eye is getting clearer every day..."
8/18/39 [257]'s letter to EC: "...[1844] is doing fine..."
12/20/39 [257]'s letter: "...Mr. [...] has a boy [2404] who had an injury to his eye similar to the one of [773] and also the [1844] boy..."
4/17/41 [1844]'s letter to EC:
"Please except my apologies for not writing sooner, as I have no excuse but laxness to offer.
"Since my last reading, my eye has improved greatly. In fact, it has improved to such an extent that I can see out of it and have quite some control over it.
"I would like a Check-up reading to see if there is something else that can be done to it to restore more vision to it.
"These are some of the questions I would like answered:
1. Is there any hope of ever being able to see enough out of that eye that the army would accept me?
2. Is the work I do hindering the cure of my eyesight?
3. Would my eyesight improve if I took an outdoor job? By that, I mean change my surroundings. 4. Should I again take up the osteopathic treatments from Dr. Dobbins?
5. Should I visit Dr. Erlanger for the electric treatments.
6. Should I go on any diet?
7. Is there anything worldly that I can do that will enable me to see more?
"Thanking you for the aid that you have given me already, and in the future.
"Please let me know when I might have this reading."
Your servant, [1844]
4/21/41 EC's letter to [1844]:
"I have yours of the 18th. With the appointments we have, we could not get the Check reading in this week. But we will be at Mr. Kahn's home next week and can make it for you on the afternoon of the 30th, 3:30 to 4:30. Can't you be there at that time? I would like very much to meet you personally, and for you to see and hear just how the information is given... Also, we are to have a meeting Tuesday evening at the Shelton Hotel, at 8 P.M. Can you come to that meeting? I would like to have you and any of your friends that you would like to bring with you..."
