1. SCH: Now, Brother [EC], your body will assume its normal forces. You will hear me and will be able to give the information that is desired of you at this time.
2. Now, you have before you [164] who is at the American Hospital, Neuilly, France - that is, the Department of Seine. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, tell me conditions you find, also the cure and relief of this body. Speak distinctly at a normal rate of speech.
3. EC: [164]. We have the body here. Now we find there are those conditions as caused distress to the physical functioning of the body.
4. These conditions produced by that bacilli that affects the impulses to the nerve reaction in the system causing in the various centers those inactivities that produce numbness and the inability to function normally.
5. This in this particular body we find affects directly the lower cushion of the locomotories and causes the distress in the lower extremities rather than in other cushions, yet produces in the whole reflex of the body the same inactivity to nerve reaction through that of the secondary impulse.
6. These conditions as we find are improved from that of the primary condition, yet these may be brought to still greater functioning through the continuation of those things applied to build toward the refunctioning of destroyed vibration as is necessary in the making up of conditions under which such physical forces are acted upon by this bacilli, for this bacilli has become less active by those applications that have been accorded this body, [164].
7. Then only keep those same actions as have been begun, carrying these to that extent that when reaction begins to set in, full application of nerve centers are restored in the whole system.
8. Well, when these are more active, then those properties

of equal parts of Pure Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh be used to massage into the centers, especially where the lymph centers react to the locomotories of the body.
9. Keep those things as have been applied. Keep the dark [?] in the way and manner as will build or react to all of the limbs that are under the control of those glands that supply through the ductless glands of the body, that there may be no deadened condition left that produces an inactive cell.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Is it desirable that he keep to his bed for a long time? (A) (Is it desirable that he keep to his bed for a long time?) Keep to the bed until the full reaction sets in, for with the destruction of the bacilli with the inactivity of the body this would be bad, yet the massage be masseured and especially that added condition as gives for reaction to the centers about the central cushion through the solar plexus through the lower end of the torso and lumbar section of those properties given and then when reaction sets in, activity may be brought back in a general manner. But keep to bed until full reaction sets in, keeping up massaging and those applications as have been accorded it. See.
12. (Q) How long will this be? (A) (How long will this be?) Four to five weeks.
13. Now the physical conditions of your body will assume their normal function. You will awake in a minute and thirty seconds after I cease speaking feeling well, good and perfectly normal.
