TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Improvements are indicated. While the body has had a great deal of anxiety, and it has been long and tedious, yet here there must be indicated patience and persistence in the application of those things that have been suggested.
3. The areas where there are the greater disturbances, - namely, under the knee, and the varied conditions that apparently at times cause new areas of disturbance, - these may be expected.
4. But keep rather consistently to all of these applications that have been suggested.
5. It is not necessary for the Oil Packs so much, unless there is a thickening or crusting of areas on the limbs or body. Then use same.
6. Keep up consistently the lights that have been indicated; also the oil rubs.
7. Do use the ointments over areas where there is the breaking of cellular force, and where healings are indicated; as on portions of the hips. These need to be softened, and thus the ointments over these also. This will assist in better healing without the skin being drawn too much.
8. Beware that the body does not become overweight. This might, of course, become an aggravating condition to the body. Use grape juice about four times a day, at least four days of the week; one ounce of grape juice (Welch's, preferably) in one and one-half ounces of plain water (not carbonated water), about thirty minutes before each meal and before retiring at night. This will keep down too much sugar, and will aid better in the eliminations through the kidneys.
9. The eliminations should be kept up.
10. Keep up the Wet Cell applications. Use those in the manner as has been given.
11. And we will find we will continue on the improve.
12. Use the abilities as helpfulness to others; by word of mouth as well as by thought and deed.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What are these red places that have come on top of my feet?
    (A) Those accumulations of circulations that carry the affected portions. Thus the rubs, and - as given - rub towards the body. And keep up a little better eliminations.
15. (Q) Would it be advisable to take some vitamin pills?
    (A) Not as we find in the present.
16. (Q) Should I lose some weight now?
    (A) As indicated; and the use of the grape juice in the manner outlined should reduce this sugar content.
    Do as given, and keep the mental attitude in a prayerful, helpful way to those about self, for the glory of the Creator.
17. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 4/15/43 [2514]'s letter to EC: "I want to write you for another ck. rdg. Any time that you set will suit me fine. I'm so in hopes I'll get some real good news and some more treatments this time.
   "We are all so encouraged over my improvement. Of course I still have bad days but the good ones make up for these. My knees are clearing up fine and I haven't had any bad sores for a long time. If I can just keep on improving everything will be all right before long. Seems like ever since I've been sick my whole family has had more trouble and work to do than ever before. It has been a constant struggle to keep up the treatments but we are now seeing our rewards. If any 2 people have 'stars in their crowns' it will certainly be my mother and my husband, for they have certainly worked with me. I have been just that much added work to their already full days. For 5 yrs. now [...] has massaged me every night. God has been so very good to me. He's kept my baby well and strong for I wasn't able to nurse him if he should get sick. He's given Mother strength to do the work of 2 or 3 people. I only hope and pray all the work won't break her down. I hope the day won't be far off when I can stand up so I can take some things off of her. I can hardly wait until I can bake [...] a chocolate pie for he loves my pies so.
   "Our family is being broken up next week. My brother is leaving next Wed. for the Army. We hate to see him go, but most of all we hate for him to have to leave his little new baby. They have a little new baby girl only 2 wks. old. It's going to be so hard on him to have to leave the precious little baby. She's my namesake, so of course she's very dear to me too. I am so afraid [...] will have to go. His number is AWFULLY LOW. We are praying that he won't have to go. However, if he does, we'll just have to make the most of it. Let's hope the War will be over before they have to break up the American families. For it certainly takes two to raise a child.
   "I certainly do hope I get a good rdg. this time. In taking the lamp should it be placed over the middle of my body? Mother says it doesn't get on my feet good. She thinks maybe I should use it on the upper part of my body then on my lower part so I'll be sure and get it all over. What is correct.
   "We certainly did get a scare the other day. We needed some zinc but couldn't find any. They said it all belonged to the Government and they couldn't sell it to us. [...] got a lineman to give him a small piece off his truck to charge it this time. Then the next day he found a piece at a small tin shop. This war is hard on me. Everything I need is rationed - beef, grape juice, etc. I only hope I can keep on getting the things I need. "These are my questions: (1) Should time on light be increased? (2) What can I put on my feet to keep these red places from itching so bad? (3) Should I continue beef juice, grape juice, Acigest, Calcios?"
