1. LBC: You have before you little [198], of about one mile south of Artesia, New Mexico. Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with him, if anything.

2. EC: Yes, here we have him here. You see, we have here in the lower end of the spinal column, right close to the lower end down below the dorsals, and below the lumbars, an abrasion here to the outside - the exterior has come in contact here with something of outside material, that has produced to the physical structure of the body a lesion formed along here, that has impaired the circulation along the whole body, until we find through the circulation here, we have formed, as it were, a floating lesion. It is not taut - here at the 5th dorsal, that is, up the spine here, until we impair the action of the flow of blood, as we have through the nutriment of the blood and the rebuilding forces of the whole system of the body, that has impaired the action of the rebuilding material or forces to the head, especially to the facial muscles and to the eyes, impairing then, through the sympathetics the action on the second cervical and second dorsal.

3. We have the supply of blood force to these, nerve force, nerve nutriment, the supply of nutriment carried by the blood to these, that impair, or form, as it were to the facial, and to the eyes, and to the nostrils, in the nasal passage here, clots. - That is not carried away of used material - that is, lack of unison through these forces we have.

4. We have in the circulation, which is carried by the force of the heart action in the body of [198], to all parts of the body, a lesion formed here in the lower end of the spine, near the coccyx here at the second joint, producing then lesions along the spine at the 5th dorsal and second cervical and second dorsal, that impair the nerve supply and nutriment of the blood force of action to the eyes and facial muscles. - That is, not taking away the blood, carries from the organs the used matter back to the system

to be thrown out through the dross, either through the respiratory, or through the kidneys or the dross through the digestion of the body. These then, leaving this here, that is, not taking care of the system, impair these organs in themselves, wherein this refuse matter is left in this part of the body.

5. It is not serious, as we have it now, but it grows in the system. Unless the system becomes strong enough to eliminate it from it, by absorbing it through the action of the forces to remove the lesion here, it will form them, if we have impaired action to the force at the 5th cervical and 5th dorsal, and we will have then a lesion formed, which will produce an action to the heart action of the body and the lung force.

6. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe for this? (A) Taking into the system here, to help to assimulate the action of the digestion, to form a new blood, as it were, or new qualities into the blood so in passing these parts they take up or absorb more of these particles in the system to be carried out, to eliminate, and by removing the lesion along here. First remove the lesion at the spine, by manipulation of the hands from the exterior force. Then take into the stomach, through the digestion, these particles.

7. (Q) What wold that be into the stomach? (A) Small quantities of magnesia, with bella-donna. That, then, puts a new action and a new force in the blood to supply these forces and, as it were, put some more lucasites in the blood itself. We take away these, as the body is growing, and nature in itself assists in carrying these from the system. This should be removed now.
