1. EC: Now we find this body very good throughout. There are some abnormal conditions in the physical that may be corrected, which would be for the better developing of the body, both to the physical and soul and spiritual nature or developing of this body, [270], we are speaking of.
2. Now, these are the conditions that we find in this body. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this very good, fairly well balanced in its distributing and also in the elimination. Assimilation at times detrimental to the system in such a manner as to disturb equalization of the blood and nerve energy in the system. Hence the condition the body experiences at times of gaining its equilibrium for physical rest. Circulation not coming normal. This is produced more from nerve and mental strain than from the circulation defective in itself, though it (the circulation) that portion affected by such condition and producing this effect in the system. In the constituents of the blood the elemental forces are very good; that is, the white and red blood cell force. In some portion of system some bacilli is carried, as is exhibited in the cuticle in portions of the body, causing pigment to show, as it were - splotchy. Hence the condition as is shown in the head or hair. [Bald spots?]
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find with this, mental forces of this body, which are good, we find that in a specific place in the system that which causes the condition, though the condition is more general but causing the condition as given here of restlessness or insomnia, or sleeplessness, to the body. That is, the nerve force in attempting to gain its equilibrium, gives over-taxation rather than the correct distributing or equalizing itself for rest, and it apparently makes the brain more active, because there is more blood flow. This will be found in the 9th and 10th dorsal region - lesion formed. Strain sympathetic enacted upon condition of the body, position of the body in its

mental action creating a specific condition, creating a specific cause, creating a specific effect, through certain affectations in the system. In the nerve system itself no dis-eased, or even that of over-taxed, nerve system, except pressure as produced causing this non-equalization of circulation, and nerve energy, when rest is attempted.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find the brain force of the body very good. Very active. The sympathetic nervous system acts direct with the brain, and the body may develop itself through mental capacitations that will be beyond the normal of bodies. The sensory organism very good.
6. LUNGS, THROAT, LARYNX, at times there are some tickling sensations from nerve reaction in throat and larynx. Lungs very good.
7. DIGESTIVE TRACT, at times there, apparently, comes the restlesness, that feeling of the digestion being turned topsy-turvy, as it were. The liver then becomes sympathetically inactive, though the body normally, that is in the normal forces, is naturally normal throughout, save as this condition in 9th and 10th dorsals from the physical.
8. Liver and hepatic circulation very good. Kidneys, sympathetically, over-active. At other times we find the reaction not as good as should be.
9. R E L I E F, to give the best relief for this body, physically, we would take for the system that of the specific exercise that will reduce, or produce, absorption of that lesion as is shown in the dorsals, 9th and 10th. This by the circular bending motion of the body night and morning, more in the evening before retiring than of morning, and rubbing the body well after each exercise with very cold water down the spine, and rubbing until the circulation becomes very brisk along each segment of spine. The circular motion would be with hands on hips, forward, backward, right and left, circle. Stooping, bending from the hips, and give the exercise to that portion of the body.
10. DO THIS FOR THAT CONDITION HERE. Do this in the exterior portions of the circulation and capillaries. Use pure white vaseline, or oil of petroleum. Rub well into the parts affected. Then cleanse with a 20% solution pure grain alcohol massaged into scalp of portion of body so showing this condition.
11. Do that, [270].
