1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.

3. Now, we find there are those conditions in the physical, and the mental, abnormal. This condition is the form of hallucination dementia, and is produced, as we see, by a physical condition existent in the physical structure that prevents the normal flow of all blood to the brain in all its parts, for, as we see, with a nerve structure debarred by pressure from normal action, we have the same corresponding reaction in the brain proper. With this reaction, the supplying nutriment as is necessary to keep normalcy in body is hindered, through the inability of blood stream to furnish the rebuilding forces to that portion of the brain proper as becomes affected by this subluxation.

4. In times back (some years ago), we find there existed in the body that of a disturbance in the glands of the gestation [regeneration]. In times following this there was an injury to the cerebrospinal system, in the coccyx (3rd from end), also in the last lumbar. With this defection in the nerve system, with the subluxation of those centers that brought, and do bring in normalcy, those connections with central brain forces (situated here in the normal portion, above the central and to the central portion in the right lobe), we find this brought about, then, to the mental forces of the body, that of first melancholia, of despondency, of fear, through a retraction of the gland running through the body, situated at the base of the medulla oblongata [pituitary gland?], and connecting in a threadlike manner through the system to the generatory system, forming, as has been called, to the central portion of the brain, by some, the apostles in the brain [Rev.21:14], each representing their separate portion of the

twelve fundamentals going to make up that of the physical being in its reproductive forces. This subluxation, bringing this detrimental condition, brings about these depressions, and the gradual softening of this center in brain proper.

5. In the treatments as have been applied at various times to the body, we find these have assisted, in that the brain has been kept near normal in its ability of eliminating from system, through its clearness, and in its rebuilding to other tissue. This prevents an inroad to surrounding tissue, and has helped, yet does NOT remove the cause, nor does it remove the impressions as are made in the system.

6. To overcome this condition in the present body, would, with care and strict attention, be brought about in this way and manner:

7. Correct through adjustments, chiropractically or osteopathically (so they are done properly) those subluxations in the coccyx and in the dorsal and lumbar - last lumbar, coccyx - last dorsal. This will remove strain, yet would not enliven tissue in itself.

8. We begin, then, giving INTERNALLY, and through a vibratory force, those forms of soda and gold, internally, that rejuvenate the whole system, as to re-propagation of nerve energy. Stimulating same, see? In these proportions:

9. To 15 ounces of distilled aqua pura, add 15 grains Chloride of Gold, see? with 20 grains Bicarbonate of Soda. The dose would be: Begin with 3 drops twice each day, increase each day, drop by drop, until there is 10 drops being given at the dose. Stop for 2 days, then begin with the 3 drops, going and repeating over, see? This given in half a glass of half carbonated, half insipid or flat water.

10. In the vibration to the nerve system, to apply this same through the vibratory force, apply Gold 15 grains, to 10 ounces of pure water; the vibration from same applied through the Radio-Active Appliance.

11. We would find it would be necessary to keep the adjustments in the system, and all, under the care of a competent physician, guiding through these conditions, as is necessary, those of the mental forces, to relieve the pressure in mental and in physical. Do that.

12. With these applied, we would find, in 3 to 6 months, this body, [173], normal.

13. We are through for the present.
