Don't get depressed! I actually did read it, but had such a nutty day today that I forgot. And I do appreciate all the effort that goes into answering...I know I also put in effort when I try to answer questions.
Gisele Goldstein Jun 1, 2007:
but in the end what really matters is that you found the right answer for your case, no matter where.
Gisele Goldstein Jun 1, 2007:
but if those who are asking aren't reading it too, then, it seems pointless to try and help...
Gisele Goldstein Jun 1, 2007:
Don't worry about the points Amy. I think I am just a bit disapointed that you did not read all the information we sent. I know that many times the answers are way off because those answering do not take the time to read it all...
Amy Duncan (X) (asker) Jun 1, 2007:
You're right! Can I give you the points?
Gisele Goldstein Jun 1, 2007:
funny, I did mention you might not need to translate in my last note yesterday...
Amy Duncan (X) (asker) Jun 1, 2007:
I just got a call from my boss about this, and he and his superior decided that the word should be left in the original with an explanatory note. Thanks for your help, Marcelo, Gisele, and Suzy...sorry!
Amy Duncan (X) (asker) May 31, 2007:
Yes, Marcelo, these are Spiritist books.
Marcelo Gonçalves May 31, 2007:
Amy, does your text have anything to do with spiritualism? These are typical words used in séances.

Prescription counter

I know this as PRESCRIPTION BOOK, but since you are talking about a location, I think prescription counter could work (is this a farmacy?).

So, they are giving away the prescription or the medicine? Are they doctors? I think it could still work...

Then, it could also be Medice Counter, but I am not sure.

You might not need to translate, check this:

I think this is a peer review journal.
Note from asker:
Hi Gisele...actually it's a group of people who have set up a table in a makeshift clinic.
They're giving out medicine.

"(spiritual) advisory note"

That's how I'd translate it.
