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 and those conditions which are disturbing the better physical and mental conditions of this body.
3. As we find, there are disturbances, but whether these will respond to the applications that may be suggested will depend a great deal upon the faith and hope and persistency of the parents, for this has gone on for so long.
4. There are pressures in the coccyx end of the spine from an injury received thirty-seven years ago. This has become static.
5. We would do this: Have those corrections and coordinate the segments in lumbar, throughout the dorsal area, especially the 9th and 10th dorsal, 6th, 7th, 5th, 4th, 3rd dorsals and through the cervical.
6. Then add the low electrical forces of the Wet Cell Appliance used as a Radio-Active.
7. Thus we may get response if there are prayers and activities of those about the body in the way of patience, persistency and consistency.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Should she be left in an institution or return to her home in ...?
   (A) It cannot be done in an institution.
10. (Q) What causes the hallucinations and the persisting in wearing a cardboard or metal pad above her right eye?
    (A) These are the reactions from former appearances of the same entity in the earth.
11. (Q) Why does she imagine she is being abandoned and tortured by people who dislike her?
    (A) This, again, is the impression from other appearances in the earth.
    Do these that have been indicated. It will require long periods and patience.
    Do have the corrections made osteopathically. Have them made in this manner: Align the whole cerebro-spinal system, with special attention to the coccyx area, and have at least ten or twelve, then leave off for a month or six weeks, but keep up daily the use of the low Wet Cell Appliance used as a Radio-Active, to be used thirty minutes each day. Use this when the body is ready to retire.
    Let the parents make the suggestions as the body sleeps, not as the body arouses or awakens, but with the Appliance on as the body sleeps. Normalcy and love and care of parents is due every child.
12. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Mrs. [...] (one for the parents and one for the osteopath who makes the corrections - Please let us have the name and address of the one chosen.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two for indexing
    (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions to be sent to Mr. A. M. Godfrey, 2709 Lafayette Blvd., Norfolk, Va., who can make up the Appliance for you according to specifications. Also see article explaining theory of the Appliance.)

BACKGROUND

1. 8/16/43 A friend, authorized by [5274]'s family submitted these questions besides those appearing at end of 5274-1: "Why does she have an uncontrollable temper and refuse to cooperate with doctors and nurses in hospital? Is there any chance of rehabilitation? She was critically ill when she was quite young, and had an automobile accident several years ago."

REPORTS
