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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2614].
3. As we find, there are conditions physical that are disturbing and detrimental in their reflection to the mental forces of the body.
4. These are the result of chemical and glandular reactions in the body; producing a deteriorating reaction in nerve impulses.
5. Thus the mental aberrations that appear, the hallucination as to lack of desire for associations and activities, faultfinding in self and in environs, as well as those about the body.
6. If these are allowed to progress they may bring a very detrimental condition, - either that of possession or such a deteriorating as to become dementia praecox in its nature.
7. We would make these suggestions, and we would follow these rather closely for the next thirty to sixty days; or as soon as there can be the preparation of these properties to be taken in the manner indicated.
8. As the glandular disturbance is only beginning, - we would take, during the next ten days, one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken.
9. We would have prepared the Wet Cell Appliance carrying Chloride of Gold, in the proportions of one grain to each ounce of Distilled Water - and have at least six ounces.
10. For this body, the charging solution would be prepared in this manner:
11. In 1 1/2 gallons of Distilled Water first thoroughly dissolve 1/2 pound Willow Charcoal. Then add, in the order named:

    Copper Sulphate..............2 pounds,
Sulphuric Acid C.P.......1 1/4 ounces,
Zinc.........................3 drams.

    Stir the solution thoroughly. Let it charge one day before it is used.
12. Then make the attachments as follows, for twenty minutes each day for the first ten days; then thirty minutes each day for the next forty to fifty days:
13. The copper plate would be attached to the upper portion of the 9th dorsal center; while the larger nickel plate, connected to the nickel pole, would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus; on this body three fingers from the navel center to the right and two fingers up - this being the connection passing through the Chloride of Gold Solution, see?
14. Recharge the Appliance, as well as the Gold Solution, each thirty days; or recharge once after using thirty days - and then use thirty days again, see?
15. Then we would give further instructions.
16. During the period that the Appliance is applied each day, while lying down, let the body read the 30th of Deuteronomy, and the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th chapters of St. John. Make them real, - listen to the reading of these as if this were spoken to thee. For these will aid, at such a period, to enable the body to concentrate, and thus give the opportunity for the correct associations of purposes, of spiritual influence, of divine guidance, as may bring the normal forces for this body - if there is used consistency and persistency.
17. Be mindful that the body keeps in the open when practical.
18. Keep about the body congenial companionship, or MAKE self express congeniality in whatever environ or sphere of activity the period may carry the body.
19. These as we find offer, and will bring the greater help. Do not read the promises merely as tenets, but as truths, - making a practical application of that the body would be, mentally, physically, spiritually. Know that the promises here are to thee, if ye will but apply them.
20. We are through for the present.

    (GD's note at time of reading: See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of Wet Cell Appliance; also extra sheet of directions to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., so that he may make up your appliance according to YOUR specifications. Each Appliance is made to order.
    When you have followed these suggestions for sixty days, let us know so that we may make an appointment for a Check Physical Reading to give further instructions.)

BACKGROUND

1. 10/31/41 "I am the mother of 2 children and the wife of a very kind husband. I am suffering immeasurably because of a condition that came upon me a little over 5 1/2 yrs. ago, as follows:
   "Suddenly I lost interest in everything and everybody. There isn't a thing I feel like doing. My mind doesn't seem to function properly. All I do is live in the past when I was mentally alert and active. I am terribly depressed all the time and I can not find a place for myself. I ceased being able to make conversation of any kind, except about this miserable condition I am in. Every day is just a day of misery and mental torture, pacing up and down or sitting for hours waiting for the night to come and dreading the morning to spend another empty day. My thoughts continuously turn to suicide as the situation seems hopeless after having resorted to all sorts of medical, psychiatric, faith healing and everything I hear of. What shall I do? I'm only 37 yrs. old and my family is so dependent upon me. I feel so helpless. Heretofore my mind was so good. I was so quick in making decisions and doing things and now I am just a fixture depending upon my husband and poor mother to do things for me. Physically I am O.K.
   "I am living with my mother. Due to my condition I gave up my home, which I loved so. What shall I do? Please advise, as I am desperate."
   [GD's note: I think perhaps her mother wrote the above in [2614]'s name.]
