1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the nervous condition and the nerve forces and centers, and the effect they have produced over the system by their distraught condition as is produced in the body, the effect it has produced over the organs of the body and to the brain force itself and over the whole functioning system; so we have a functional condition produced by the distraught or nerve centers.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body: through the blood-supplying forces in the body, with the relaxed condition in some portions of the body, and with the taut condition of the nervous centers, we have rather a distorted circulation than an abnormal circulation, it being in the blood-supplying forces that of a condition as carried by the blood forces themselves to the lymphatic circulation and to the emunctory circulation rather of a fear than of an actual condition existing, the temperature at times to the system being caused by this same condition, being through the hepatics.
3. As to the Blood force itself, that is, the elemental force, the making up of the constituents to produce its action, are very good. That which produces action through the life-giving forces and the respiratory system is not in itself a normal condition; hence respirations are abnormal. The circulation is better than it has been, but not perfectly normal as yet.
4. Through the nerve forces in the body we will find these conditions. The brain proper is very good in its functioning as an organ itself, the coordination between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic is not in accord with each other; so that we find the body gives away as it were to the feelings over the whole system; hence the condition as produced over the body from an over-strained, overtaxed nervous system throughout, we find through the secondary cardiac plexus, the overtaxed force that affects to the respiration and to the heart action in its secondary nature, on to that of the venous circulation to the solar plexus

center. We find that vibration has produced that, that which produces at times nausea through its action to the pneumogastric, and its force to the brain.
5. The effect as produced in this body between the sympathetic nervous system and that of the sensory organism produces a very sensitive or a super-sensitive condition throughout the system; hence the tired relaxed nervous condition over the body when any one of the senses or the use of the organs of the sensory system are called into play.
6. The functioning of the organs themselves as organs we find is very good. We have through the action of the throat, larynx, through the trachea, through the bronchials, the effect of an over-action of the muscles and nerve forces as govern these portions as we have through some other portions of the body in its functioning. Hence the dryness continually or the contraction of those portions of the body the same as expressed through the hepatic circulation, the over-action that comes at times to the functioning of the organs through the emunctories in the liver and the kidneys themselves.
7. To give force and action to the system, and that which would bring and produce coordination of forces in this body, and to relieve the overtaxed forces, would be to give that to the system that will produce a sedative effect, without a sedative itself, over the whole body, for we have had too much of that in the system, and that would equalize the circulation so as to produce elimination throughout the system, and also produce stimulation, so that the whole system, through its capillary circulation, through its lymphatic circulation and through the blood circulation, will become coordinating with each in its cycle function, and to produce to the cerebrospinal centers those effects to produce incentives to bring normal condition to the body, not with medicinal properties sufficient in the system to cause troubles, but sufficient stimulus to keep the body in its normal force, sufficient stimulus through diet as to keep the functioning of the digestive tract throughout, and give the system something to rebuild with, but more with that of force as would be found through the neuropathic system to the whole system and treatment of same.
8. As to the stimulus that we would give to the body for the condition we would use this: Muriate ammonia..........30 grains, Gum camphor..............20 grains, Sulphate morphia..........2 grains.

9. This would be put into pellets, 20 in number, and one would be taken each evening. If it became necessary through pain to the body, or the overtaxation and restlessness to the system, one might be given in between; not too many; then manipulation by the neuropathic over the system. Do that.
10. (Q) This body has a desire to speak, but has no control over her vocal organs. What causes that condition? (A) The condition as we have given here through the throat - this dryness. We want to equalize the circulation all over the body and give stimulus to the centers as we have given in these properties here--sedative force and stimulus force to the nervous system, and the equalization of the blood supplying forces.
11. Do as we have given.
12. We are through.
