TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, as we find, conditions here might be described as being of a neurotic tension. These come and produce specific conditions and yet are so subtle as to not produce other disturbances, which may be indicated in most testing of body.
There is pressure in the coccyx end of the spine causing the neurotic tendencies. This has also produced in this neurotic reaction an obstruction in nasal passages. Not that the body has a mean disposition, though at times it is pretty mean. These are the result of this irritation in the sympathetic nervous system, causing reactions at times when the body imagines it has most everything the matter with it, and it'll soon pass off as there is a change of environ or something which would appeal to the emotional natures of the body, and then again it is in the "dumps" or the "blues". Nothing is right, everything is wrong.
As we find, if there would be gently, but thoroughly, under at least 15 to 18 treatments, the correcting of the subluxation in the coccyx end of the spine, coordinating the lumbar axis areas, 9th dorsal, brachial center and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th cervical, we should improve the pressures in the nasal passages.
If this does not improve, because of irritations, then we would have operative measures, but do have fifteen at least of the corrections before this is done, for this should relieve the tensions in the body.
In the diet, keep a normal, balanced diet, but do not eat too many sweets, nor too much of any drinks that have carbonated waters in same.
(Q) Do the conditions in coccyx cause the attacks in hips and back?
(A) They cause the reactions throughout the body.
(Q) Are the periods of blindness in past few years serious?
(A) These come from those pressures which exist from those very same conditions. Do as indicated and we will make better conditions.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

Born 2/04/06 in Ohio; married; 2 children.
1/20/44 Letter: "Enclosed you will find my application for 2 readings. Should it not be correct to request both in the same application, please consider the Physical Reading first. I also hope to have a Life Reading for my 2 children..."
5/24/44 Letter: "...I will be at home... I find considerable uncertainty in my mind regarding questions as to be asked at the reading. The thought is in my mind: (1) Is my general condition the past 10 years or so, the result of my mental attitudes, or vice versa; if so, what is to help? To appearances, I seem a very healthy individual. (2) Is there any particular treatment for the recurrent attacks in the hips and lower back? X-rays and medical attention have shown nothing. (3) Is there any seriousness connected with the periods of blindness in the past few years? (4) Would any improvement be found in taking medical advice to have my nose operated? (5) Is there any association between these various conditions? I earnestly await the reading..."
