Time and Place: Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., N.Y.

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, nice looking man!
As we find, there are rather tendencies which exist than that as might be called organic disorders. There have been colds, congestions and with some disturbance to the lumbar axis there has been caused a formation of circular lesions at certain segments of the cerebro-spinal system.
There are periods when there is general aching between the shoulders and back of the head, and headaches result. There are periods when rest is easily broken. These are those tendencies, then; that the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal systems being, as it were, out of harmony, there may be produced those inclinations and tendencies until one or the other, or two of the organs of the central nervous system and central cerebro-spinal system, may become so aggravated as to bring real distress to the body.
These may be easily corrected but will take some little time and some patience.
The adjustments to be made should be rather in series. The first series should be about eight to ten of the osteopathic corrections. These are particularly indicated in lumbar and sacral, in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd dorsal, through the upper cervicals to the 3rd particularly.
We would have these about twice a week.
But we would also have each day for one hour, when ready to retire, the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. There is no charge or vibration felt, yet it will be found on the body to bring good, even rest. It is not well for it to remain on the body more than an hour or an hour and a half at the most. These plates should be attached to the right wrist, left ankle; left wrist, right ankle. Be sure to ever attach first the same applicator or plate as first used, whether it is the period when the first is to be attached to the ankle or to wrist. But if to the ankle first, then the other plate to the opposite wrist and so on. Keep the plates very clean.
Do this, and as we find we will bring better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) I am ofttimes bothered in studying different subjects by a perplexingly slow grasp of the subject matter, although I consider myself fairly intelligent. Is there an explanation and remedy for it?
(A) This is produced by the slowness of reflexes from the imaginative or vegetative system and the sensory system. As we find, these corrections should be made as indicated. Periodically, after the first series, rest a week, then have the second series; this only about six or eight or ten; while the first series should run to at least sixteen. After the rest period, the third series, not more than one every other week, for at least six or eight or ten.
The appliance should be used daily. Use that period for meditation, no matter if it is taken when the body is ready to retire. Have at the beginning the period at least of meditation, and if the body does go off to sleep during the period, have someone to remove the plates but there will be periods of exciting experience in the spiritual and mental self.
(Q) What is cause of occasional nightmares, which oppress me considerably and usually end in inarticulate outcries?
(A) These, as have been indicated, are the sympathetics and the sensory system, that, as it were, cross current one another and these are the visions, or the dream experiences becoming, under such, very much exaggerated to size of unusual happenings or as to all such experiences.
(Q) What is the reason for blood in stool occasionally?
(A) The lack of coordination makes a strain upon centers where the lymph and the impulses of activity do not coordinate. Do as has been given, we will bring bettered conditions for this body.
We are through with this reading.
Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath. If convenient, we would refer you to Dr. Geo. N. Coulter, 18 E. 41st St., N.Y.C.)
Copy to Ass'n file
Two for indexing
[We were unable to get your life reading on June 1st. Another appointment is being made for Nov. 24th, 10:30 to 11:30 A.M., EWT. It will no doubt be better for you to submit questions of vocational, mental and spiritual nature, to have asked in type of reading.]

BACKGROUND

Born in Germany 3/21/04; married; no children.
8/02/43 Wife [5198]'s letter: "...My husband [5199] also would like to have a Physical and Life Reading, and I would be grateful if you would tell us how to go about it."
8/27/43 Letter: "I read about your abilities in a recent issue of 'Coronet', and wonder if you can give me a reading without the necessity of my personal presence. The following are a few of the questions you might be able to answer for me: (1) What, if anything, can we do to assure that we will have children (my wife and I)? (2) In what way can I be of most service to our country at present time...? (3) If I survive this war, what will my field of endeavor be? (4) My wife has several minor ailments, chiefly of a nervous nature, what can be done about them?..."
5/23/44 Questions submitted in addition to those at end of 5199-1: "I do not quite know whether my first question is proper within the scope of a Physical Rdg.; however, it is of the greatest interest and concern to me, and if you consider it in order, I wish it to be [See 5199-1, Par. 11-A]. (2) I am very often troubled by insomnia, even though I feel perfectly tired and ready for sleep. What is the reason? (3) I frequently have a stiffness, sometimes an actually hardened area, in the right back of my neck; this often develops a headache, creeping over the right side of my head and ending right behind the right eye. What causes it? (4) What is the reason for occasional blood in my stool?"

REPORTS

6/09/44 Wife's letter: "Both my husband's and my own reading have been received, and I am sure they will prove very helpful to us... For my husband there was given the advice to use at home the radio-active appliance. I am writing to inquire whether I can get any further information on this as to just what it is and where it can be obtained. Dr. George N. Coulter, D.O. the osteopath here whom you recommended, could not help on this point..."
6/13/44 EC's letter: "...You can order these from Mr. Marsden Godfrey...they are built for each individual on request..."
6/26/44 Wife's letter: "...I have sent the order for a radio-active appliance to Mr. Godfrey immediately, and hope that we shall get this soon. In the Physical Rdg. for my husband, osteopathic treatments were recommended and you were kind enough to suggest the name of Dr. George N. Coulter, D.O. It now develops that his office hours are such that my husband will not be able to go to him. We do happen to know, however, a very good chiropractor, who is most conveniently located, and I am writing to inquire whether it would be all right to have the treatments given by this chiropractor. We shall be grateful for your advice. As far as our own lay judgments of the readings are concerned, I would like to say that they seem to describe most accurately the physical conditions of both my husband and myself. Later, after the treatments and prescriptions have been carried out, I shall take the liberty of sending you a report as to just what happened..."
