1. (Q) LBC: You have before you Mrs. [194], who is in this room. She is before you now. You will see her. (A) EC: Yes; we have her here.
2. (Q) I want you to go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her. (A) Now, in this body here of [194] we have a condition that exists in the system at present, and we have a condition that produced the first condition in the system that has brought about the condition as we have it at present. We have a condition in the system that has assisted to make the condition that we have existing now.
We have here, in the body present, a lack of the blood in the system to eliminate properly through the whole body, especially through the liver and intestinal digestion. We have a lack of the forces to supply the nutriment to the blood through the capillaries or through that of the lymphatic circulation in its nerve and muscular force, and supply to the lymphatic and muscular nerves, especially through the intestine and the liver. We have more of these through the lungs, liver and intestine than any other part of the body, that is, the lymphatic circulation.
Now, what has brought about the condition we have at present was from the condition that first existed through the pelvis, times back, through the kidneys, the discharge of the refuse matter from the system itself here, that has brought about inflammation through the pelvis. The use of astringents in the system produced a choking up of the eliminating of the cellular used forces in the liver proper, until we bring about the condition we have in the liver, intestines and stomach.
We have here now a filling up of the mucous of the intestinal digestion; a lack of the power or property within the liver to eliminate the blood properly of the matters taken up in its circulation through the whole body; the lack of eliminating through the respiratory system, which comes

on account of the condition in the nervous forces; a lack of the blood supply to the capillaries and sweat glands. A lack of the power to eliminate these through these allows a choking up, producing a hepatic circulation below normal temperature at times in the body, as we have now; below normal of the action of the liver - that is, in its power of eliminating and putting into the intestinal digestion, or the properties to eliminate refuse matter and to infuse the blood with new matter to be carried into the system, back from used forces of the lymphatic circulation. Hence, we have destruction of the red blood, or hemiglobin, and fouling of the white, or leukocyte part.
3. (Q) Any other condition you see? (A) We have the condition through the system that comes contemporary with this, all caused by the infusion of matter over the system. This is the existing condition. This is the condition that brought it about.
You see, we remove these conditions from the system as we have, a sedative treating of the condition. Treat the cause of it here first. The cause, as we will find, is from the forces produced along the spine here, coming into conjunction with that of the kidneys proper, in their eliminating of the forces in the body. That is a long time back. That is even before we have the conception here. We have the forces in the body now that are produced from this lesion here at the 9th dorsal, 2nd and 3rd lumbar, a lesion lateral, the dorsal lesion, in conjunction with the body or hard lesion at the lumbar, of long standing, that produced an overtaxing of the supplying forces to the kidneys here, and from the liver, until they bring about the condition we have. The astringents used on the forces to produce the action on the liver at times caused it to become torpid, inactive, filling up of the juices from the liver into the stomach, producing the condition we have in the intestines and in the liver.
To remove the trouble, or remove the condition formed in the liver and intestines at the liver by the opening, or by operation, we won't remove the condition in the system. If we remove the condition in the system, and remove it by absorption from the body, we leave the body in a normal condition and it will be better than it has ever been - not through the knife necessarily. If we remove these conditions in the liver and intestines, or from the duodendum, the lower end of the stomach, we remove the condition existing, but we do not remove the trouble or what

caused it.
4. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe? (A) We remove first from the stomach and intestines all fecal matter, as far as possible, that is gathered into it at present, through taking something into it to cleanse it, just water, so we will have the stomach full and reduce the amount of gastric juices forming into the stomach. We relax the abdominal forces here from the lumbars and abdomen itself, until we can force or carry the water through all the intestinal tract by means of the gravity carried by the action of muscular force formed by the action of the treatment to the body, not by natural means, but by means used to relax the system. Then we give into the system here by removing this condition, that of the forms of laxative to the organism, or the liver in itself, to remove this congested condition. By the relaxation of the liver we keep away the sickness from the stomach itself, or the forming of the juices formed by the duodendum and pancreas, from backing into the stomach itself.
Use plenty of electricity, plenty of open air, fresh air, and the diet should be light and of a form that is easy of digestion to remove these conditions through it. As we get the action we take relaxation through the form of olive oil in quantities, a cupful at a time. Take enough to cleanse it thoroughly, not purge it. We have had too much of this before, but that which acts in unison through the action of the liver in itself.
The forces of the electric force to be supplied to the system is that of a stimulative and sedative to the body; not of muscular contraction of forces, but of stimulative and sedative to the nervous and muscular body to the action of the forces. The forces of manipulation should be that of hands, making the water act in the system - it takes too much itself to act properly - and the relaxation, or the removal, of the muscular force or lesion formed along the spine. It will take time, but it has been a long time coming and getting that way. Don't cut it open unless you have to. Remove the trouble first and I think she will get well.
5. (Q) Any other treatment for the present? (A) Do this and it will help the body. The removal of the first cause is where we begin. The removal of what the first cause has produced and not remove the first cause will not relieve the body.
