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 here [5238].
3. While conditions have been growing very serious and there is the continued wasting away, as we find here there may be material gains made and a retarding, and eventually such improvements that the body may be able to care for itself almost entirely.
4. These are the effects of a glandular disturbance which affects locomotion, or the ability of the functioning of the organs in assimilation and distribution of energies of the body, of creating those conditions which enable the nerves and muscular forces to reproduce themselves.
5. This has reached the stage where there is a softening, rather than hardening, of the lobe of the liver. These, then, are the more serious.
6. But if there will be such applications as these and then, when there have been certain conditions established, those changes made to meet the contracting of effects and of conditions through the body, we may gain the use and control of the lower limbs, as well as the locomotory centers in both the lower and upper portions of the body.
7. We would have prepared then, the low Wet Cell Appliance. We would charge this with two pounds of the Copper Sulfate and the rest of the ingredients in proportion, save no Charcoal, but we would put in the solutions three ounces of Tincture of Iodine; this just suspended in solution in a glass bottle with preferably a glass cork and charge same for thirty minutes on the low battery charge.
8. We would attach the larger plate to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus. For this body it would be the width of four fingers from the navel center directly to the right and two fingers upward. The solution which passes through same would be Chloride of Gold Sodium (one grain to one ounce of distilled water, and use three ounces).
9. Do use this Appliance for thirty minutes each day for days.
10. When changing the solution, change the Gold Solution to be sure.
11. Follow this treatment each day with a massage, using Peanut Oil. This begin at the toes, gradually massage the feet, ankles, limbs to the torso, thoroughly through the sacral and lumbar area, even across the diaphragm area.
12. These we would keep consistently.
13. In the diets keep to those things which are body-building in chemical forces such as raw vegetables. Use these oft with gelatin. Do have beef juices, liver and liver juices, tripe, pigs' feet. All of these we would use oft in the diet.
14. These, as we find, if taken consistently, persistently will bring results. When the Appliance has been charged at least three or four times, we would give further instructions for corrections necessary in that period.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What was the original cause of this condition?
    (A) As indicated, a glandular disturbance.
17. (Q) Is this multiple sclerosis or a deep brain tumor?
    (A) Multiple sclerosis - not a brain tumor.
18. (Q) What is causing the clearing of throat and spitting?
    (A) This is a nervous condition, produced by the effects of the general deterioration between central nervous system and cerebrospinal nervous system.
    Do these things as has been indicated and we should bring bettered conditions for this body.
19. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. Born Tex. 9/16/13; res. Tex; married; two children.
2. 1/21/44 Husband's letter: "...I request a reading for my wife who is seriously ill... Maybe you can help me after I write the story of her illness to you. In January 1943, she was operated for a brain tumor, but the doctor failed to find one. Nine days after the operation she had a vomiting attack. This continued 6 days without a let-up, but was finally stopped. On July of '43, she had another attack which was worse. The doctors gave her up because they couldn't stop it. This continued for 2 weeks and left her in bad shape. She is also unable to see very well, her hearing in her right ear is very bad. She cannot walk without assistance, because of constant dizziness. This week her throat became partly paralyzed and she hardly can talk, and cannot swallow her food. She is in the Methodist Hospital in ..., Texas now. The doctors and Clinics I have taken her to don't seem to agree on the cause of her trouble. Some claim she has a tumor under her brain, and others think she has a brain disease known as Multiple Sclerosis. I am asking you if you can possibly give a reading on her at an early date, because she can't last much longer. If you have medical instructions to send following the reading, please send them to Dr. S. I. M., at ..., Texas."
3. 2/26/44 Husband's letter: "...My wife is much better at present, but we do not know how long that will last, so we would like for you to have the reading for us on the above mentioned date, if possible. Due to her frequent attacks of illness, it is impossible to tell where she will be on June 3... (1) How long will she be in this condition? (2) Can medical science cure her; if so, where do you recommend I take her? (3) If her trouble is incurable, how long will it prove fatal?"
4. 5/25/44 Husband's letter: "...She has been in the Methodist Hospital in ..., Texas the past 2 weeks, but has improved enough to be at home now, and will be at her home... If her trouble and sickness is curable, tell us who to go to for cure and how long before she will be well again. Do you advise a trip to ..., Calif., to see the doctor that is there? We have hoped and prayed for the recovery of my wife's health, and we feel sure you can help us..."
