1. LBC: You have before you [34], ..., Ohio.
2. EC: Yes, we have had him here before.
3. (Q) Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what his condition is now. (A) It is not as good as it has been before, in the physical body. In the mental, it is better.
4. (Q) Tell us what changes and what the condition is now. (A) Now, as we have the body here, of [34], in the condition we have it now - the physical body, or that of the frame of the man, the skin, the flesh, its nerves and blood forces with its attributes to the mental body. The blood and its appendages and forces to the physical, and the nerve and supplies both mental and physical. The treatment of the physical body, or the structure of the body, has been such until we have produced to the nerve forces an abnormal condition to the supply to the brain. Or better still, we have the body here as this: - We have a lesion formed here in the body of [34] at the upper cortex of the stomach, produced from over congestion into the stomach here, at time back, when small, in the development of the body. Then the developments of the brain and forces in the body were such that it produced an abnormal condition into the brain. The cells not used by thought or expression, of anything, through the abnormal or sensory organism. Hence the conditions we have at times of spasmodic condition of the flow of blood to the brain. Congestion of the arms and muscular forces, from the pelvis up, or to the trunk part of the body. The condition as we have it now, from the treatment to the condition, has produced to the nerve force a stimulation through electrical forces, of the coldness along the spine with that of ice, an over-stimulation through the nerves along the spine, until it becomes a resentment to the body to accept the forces in the body. Hence the rejection to the forces to remove the condition existing in the body.
5. (Q) What else do you find? (A) That is the condition of [34].
6. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe for the present,

to relieve this? (A) He has the treatment, if it is given right.
7. (Q) Is he getting the electricity strong enough? (A) Plenty.
8. (Q) What about the sedative for the stomach? (A) All right.
9. (Q) How is the ice treatment? (A) That is all right.
10. (Q) Should there be anything else added to that? How should his diet be? and what should it be and what should he eat? (A) Eat what he wants to eat.
11. (Q) Is that lesion being removed any? (A) No, it is greater.
12. (Q) What can we do to remove that? (A) Treat him right.
13. (Q) Does he need kneading of the stomach with the hands? (A) No.
14. (Q) Is there no other treatment you would suggest for the present than is there? (A) - (Either silence or steno. didn't get it.)
15. (Q) Well, you won't see him any more. (A) Are you going to leave him this way?
16. (Q) What would you suggest for him? (A) I don't suggest.
17. (Q) What does he need? (A) To get better.
18. (Q) What can be done for him to relieve him? (A) Give him the treatment.
19. (Q) Has he been getting the treatment as strong as he should? (A) Too much.
20. (Q) Been getting too much? (A) Take the forces here in the body of [34] applied to the external and internal forces to the body, has been of a nature to produce exaggeration or aggravation to the nerve supplies to the sympathetics and cerebrospinal, by the treatment of the potash and iodine along the spine with the ice, which produces congestion and over-opening or stimulation of the muscular forces of these. Leave off all treatment except the electrical force, until the body becomes limp again here - except the sedative to the stomach, of course, and the electrical forces. Then we will apply the ice or the cold compresses along at the cervical and to the dorsal, see? Hot compresses from the lumbars and coccyx, of [34].
