TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of Mrs. [2744], ..., N.C., and her physical, mental and business relations and associations. You will answer the questions which I shall ask you regarding each of these.
2. EC: Yes. This body we have had here before - [2744]. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What is the cause of my skin eruption and can it be cured permanently?
   (A) Produced by conditions of a prenatal nature, and this may be, in time, eliminated or eradicated from the system, through the continual keeping of the system in a state wherein the constant rebuilding and replenishing forces are above the normal in the eliminations without overbalancing the system in other directions, or bringing about detrimental effects in the system as respecting eliminations in their organic functioning in the system.
   To meet the needs, or in applying that which will be effective in bringing about conditions, is to change the vibratory forces as emanate from the central nervous system, also from that as is effective through hepatic circulation. These two nerve systems in their activities will eliminate this condition from the system. This may be brought about by those continued action of these two MEDICINAL properties in the system, ALTERNATED, with at least ten days between each course of the properties, see?
   First begin with one drop of Fowler's solution of Arsenic. Increase this each day one drop, until at least five drops are being taken. Then skip one day and begin with one drop, increasing each day until five are taken, see? Then wait ten days. THEN begin with sulphur solution - either in solution or dry, and take THIS each day for ten days. Waiting then ten days, and begin with the solution of Arsenic, see?
   After the first course has been taken (that is, of the Arsenic) begin with the Violet Ray over the cerebrospinal system. This taken each evening as the body is ready for retiring, just against the skin is preferable, from the lower lumbars to the upper cervicals, for at least five to ten minutes, see? Keep this persistently every day.
   Do not eat meats in ANY form. No eggs and little of grease in any form, and we will find that in six to ten weeks we will have eliminated this from the system.
   Keep the bowels active, but DO NOT overload the system with any effort to produce evacuation. Rather use that of oil enemas when this becomes necessary.
   These properties will create the proper eliminations for this body to be rid of these conditions, which is a form of humor that comes from conditions prenatal in their action, yet effective in a circulation seated in that of the change of blood in the central system, see? affecting directly the hepatic circulation.
4. (Q) How much sulphur should be taken each day?
   (A) Dependent upon the manner in which it would be taken, whether it is as a lozenge or whether it be taken in free state, or whether it would be taken in with that of other solution. This may be taken just in sulphur water if it's preferable to the body. This should be dosed by the physician.
5. (Q) Is there anything I can do to bring about a more friendly relationship between my parents and myself and family?
   (A) This condition enters into many varying relationships. The causes which are to some unreasonable; to others of a very definite nature. That which is to the body, individual, an irritation, may be overcome. That as is held as animosity in the eyes of others must be overcome within themselves. SATISFY self that the proper attitude is being taken by self as regarding the relationships, considering that OTHERS have the right of THEIR opinion as well as self, and an amiable condition may be arrived at, one more satisfactory than existent at present. Yet, as to what the actions of OTHERS are may not be governed by the individual, other than SELF'S own action as respecting same.
6. (Q) How can I help my husband with his present work? And should he remain with this company? If so, what means can he use to increase production and shipments?
   (A) That should be decided by the husband as to remaining with the present company, or present association. With the proper attitude OF individuals, this may be made remunerative - but simply remuneration is not satisfying to the inner self. There must be rather the attitude of a life WORTHWHILE to those whom the body would serve, and of worthwhile service being rendered, rather than first and foremost of a remuneration as would bring this world's goods; for moth and rust doth corrupt, even as an evil conscience does beguile the best of intent. In service, as relating to assistance to the husband, be that of the helpmeet as promised at the time when the body became one in purpose and intent.
7. (Q) Is it advisable to keep our home or sell it?
   (A) Depends upon what the decision of the body would be. The home is valuable, and will increase. As to whether the body would expend service in present surroundings, keep it. If the body would remove FROM present surroundings, might be the better to keep or might be better to sell. That should be the decision in the own mind. The property is valuable, and would be more so as time goes on.
8. (Q) Will my husband's plan of bringing his brother to ... and starting him in the furniture business prove successful?
   (A) Too many conditions to be considered to say as to whether successful or not. First and foremost the body may only INFLUENCE individual. As to their making a success, or the venture being successful, is up to the individual.
9. (Q) Would it be advisable for my husband to take out more life insurance or cancel some of his present policies?
   (A) Again that which should be determined by the individual. As to advisability of cancellation or of increase, this should be rather in keeping with the ABILITIES of the body to provide that which the body wishes to provide in such a direction.
10. That is all the questions.
11. That's sufficient! We are through.
