TEXT

1. GC: 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: [In making location - ] "Jacksonville - looks like rain - ".
3. Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. Now as we find, conditions are not progressing as favorably as they should for this body.
4. The osteopathic adjustments have not been made as indicated in the lumbar-sacral, and especially in the coccyx area. These should be made. Do have these made in these areas especially, coordinating the other areas after the corrections have been made, and there will be found a difference. Don't begin at the top but begin in the lumbar and sacral. To be sure, these have not been pointed out to the operator at times as being the correct way, but for this body they must be made in that manner - if there will be the improvement that should come to the body. THEN coordinate the upper dorsal and cervical areas with the corrections made in lumbar, sacral and coccyx.
5. Do not give more of the Gold and Soda internally for at least another six months. But do give the Gold vibratorially, prepared in the regular solution (one grain to each ounce of distilled water). Use this through the Wet Cell Appliance, regular charge. Make the attachments for thirty minutes every other day. The small plate would be attached at the 4th lumbar. The larger plate, through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially, would be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus - which, for this body, would be two fingers to the right from the navel center and three fingers up from that point.
6. Each time when the Appliance is removed, do give the body a full massage with this combination of oils:

   Olive Oil......................1 ounce,
Peanut Oil.....................1 ounce,
Lanolin (liquified)............1 teaspoonful.

7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What should be done to correct the turning in of his feet, which seems to be getting worse?
   (A) This indicates the necessity for those corrections being made in the sacral and throughout the lumbar and coccyx area, so that the activities of the nerves and muscles of the lower limbs will be controlled.
9. (Q) Overweight of body, which makes it difficult for him to get up when he falls and slows up his movements in general?
   (A) If normal activities are brought, the body will not be allowed to become too heavy.
10. (Q) Should he be given any special exercise or diet?
    (A) A normal diet, and no special exercise other than the regular activity with others.
11. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Mother (one for the osteopath)
    Copy to Ass'n file

Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., so that he may prepare the Appliance according to specifications for this particular case.

REPORTS

1. 11/08/43 Mother's letter: "Thank you so much for the reading. I was surely glad to get it, but awfully sorry the adjustments had not been properly made. However, Dr. Kline is coming out to the house Wed. night and we are going over the rdg. carefully together and I do hope this time they will be done right. I would like very much to have another rdg. in about a month to see if they are being made correctly. I would certainly hate to go on and on doing it the incorrect way. Getting these treatments correct means more to me than any thing in the world.
   "There are a few things I don't quite understand. Should I continue to rub every night with half olive oil and half peanut oil or just rub every other night after the electrical treatments and should I continue to give him 'One a Day Brand Vitamin B'?
   "We have ordered the electrical appliance and hope to receive it in a few days.
   "Also please let me know how long this new treatment should be given before another reading is given to change it.
   "Thank you so much for all your interest and help."
2. 12/29/43 Father's letter to EC: "We have just received the wet cell appliance and are preparing to use it in accordance with the last rdg. for [2983]. According to the rdg., the appliance was to be used with gold solution and was to be used every other night for a period of thirty minutes followed by a thorough massage with the combination of peanut, olive and lanolin oil. Up to this time we have been giving [2983] a warm bath every night followed by a massage of peanut and olive oil in accordance with the first rdg. We are very anxious to know should we continue doing this on the nights we do not use the wet cell appliance. Mrs. [...] wrote you after receiving the last reading which letter was recently acknowledged; however, the questions she asked were not answered.
   "I know you realize how vital this is to us and while I know you are extremely busy it would be very much appreciated if you will let us know how soon you can give us another rdg. so that we will know whether or not the osteopathic treatments are now being administered properly.
   "Please extend to Mrs. Cayce and your secretary whom we had the pleasure of meeting when we were there our kindest regards and with best wishes for your health and happiness during the coming year and the continuation of the wonderful work you are doing, I am," [...]
3. 1/01/43 Letter from EC to father: "...I do hope you are going to find that the use of the appliance and the massage is going to show real results. Be sure the connections to the appliance are firm, but not so tight as to stop circulation. As they are attached to the body, I think a little adhesive tape is a good way. I would keep the rules every day. I certainly can appreciate how anxious you both are about it, and trust that you will indeed soon see real results. Do let us hear from you from time to time, and know if we can be of any help, that is our aim and purpose.
   "Don't hesitate to write and ask about anything that comes up. I believe Mrs. [...] can give the massages as well or better than anyone else. It may be very well if you can get a good masseur to show Mrs. [...] once or twice just what is the best way to give those."
4. 1/04/44 Father's letter: "...I appreciate more than I can say your prompt reply.
   "In my letter to you of Dec. 29th, I requested that you advise me whether to continue massaging [2983] on the alternate nights that we do not use the wet cell appliance or should we just massage him every other night after using the appliance only.
   "I also requested that you let us know how soon you could give us another reading so that we will know whether or not the osteopathic treatments are now being administered properly and would appreciate very much your advising me definitely on these two points."
5. 1/08/44 EC's letter to father: "Yes, I am sure it would be advisable to continue the massage on the nights that you do not use the appliance. We will try to work in another rdg. for you on the morning of Jan. 19, from 10:30 to 11:30, EWT.
   "I would have your osteopath to include a question or two to have asked at the time of the rdg., then you and Mrs. [...] enclose the questions that you would like to have asked."
6. 1/17/44 Letter from mother to EC: "...The osteopath (Dr. Kline) requests that we ask the following questions for her. 1. Are the osteopathic adjustments now being correctly made? If not, please give further specific instructions.
   The following are the questions we would like to ask":
   1. Has sufficient progress been made so far to indicate that this body will be normal by the time puberty is reached as stated in the first rdg.? 2. Is the wet cell appliance being administered properly? 3. There seems to be no improvement in [2983] getting up off the floor or in getting up steps. When might some improvement be expected? 4. Can any suggestions be made to [2983]'s parents (Mother & Father) for their guidance in helping to improve his condition? Many, many thanks for your help.
7. 1/19/44 See 2983-3.
