1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [272]. Now, we find there are disorders and disturbances in the physical functioning of the body. The conditions, as we find, have to do with the FUNCTIONING of organs, and that the causes are both physical and psychopathical. In the effects as are produced in the disturbance, these have to do with the sensory system and the organs of same, the organs of reproduction, and these effects are from mental attitudes as have had much to do with the disturbances as are exhibited in the present time.
2. In the conditions existent, then, these are as we find them:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows a near normalcy in its reaction, though low in the red blood count. As much is due to the general nervous system in this direction as from pathological conditions in organs themselves.
4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, here we find, from the PHYSICAL sense, the GREATER amount of distress - for, from there being stored in the mental forces of the body those of aggression, discontent, the holding of the disorders against individuals, has produced much as has been stored as of detrimental influences; for ANGER in the system destroys that characterization of a perfect, or even a well BALANCED ASSIMILATION, which makes for physical impoverishments, and with the constant brooding brings depressions that affect especially the sensory system; eyes, ears, nose, throat.
5. In the character of the elements produced IN the plasm, these become - from such depressions - of an over ACID nature in the body, and throughout the system these work for the improper functioning of organs as are of the sympathetic SYSTEM'S nature.
6. In the PELVIC organs, these are manifested much in the SAME manner - yet there are PHYSICAL conditions existent
272-1 Page 2
there that make for an accentuation of the disorder. This is especially seen in the plexus of the 4th lumbar, that causes an overactivity to the system as relating to the character of the effluvia thrown off in the functioning of the organs of pelvis, producing then a high state of irritation - which makes for pains through the region of the tubes as feed into the organs themselves in elimination, making for a suppression in the menses and at others an excess of same.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, GENERALLY, OF THE BODY:
8. In the brain forces the body is very good.
9. In the organs of the sensory system, these we find - especially in the ear, or in the inner ear - from the amount of the over secretion as comes through those [areas] of the Eustachian tube - are over irritated. This is more from a GENERAL condition through nerve taxes [taxis?] than from ORGANIC disorder. The same is experienced in the soft tissue of the nose, antrum. These all show the irritations as exist there, aided by this repression in system from mental forces, as well as from the physical effect as is produced in the organs so disturbed. Throat shows an irritation only at times, but a tendency to clear the throat, or to get up phlegm - which RARELY is able to be raised from the throat proper, yet the irritation in the UPPER portion of throat at times becomes rather severe. Easily does the body take cold, from this over amount of secretion thrown off in the manner attempting to adjust itself from the irritation. Naturally, this has produced - in the upper DORSAL, especially in the 3rd and 4th plexus center, as well as in the 3rd and 4th CERVICAL center, through which the nerves supply TO the portions of system affected receive the greater impulse. Soreness or irritation exists, then, there.
10. Lungs are very good in their reaction, but with the lowness of the red blood supply makes for the tendency to get short breath, and to find that at times there is a feeling of hot and cold flushes from the activity in the organ itself.
11. Heart's action not NORMAL, but not an abnormal from a FUNCTIONAL nature; rather from the high nervous state of the body from irritation. Only, then, a quickened pulse.
12. The digestive system, especially in the stomach proper, shows the state of an overacid condition existent. Naturally, with the result of a disorderly liver, from this high amount of acid in system, as WELL as a tendency in the colon and jejunum of formation of gases, which produce rumbling and a pressure at times.

13. In the kidneys and the organs of pelvis:
14. Kidneys, from the acidity, show the effect of same in their functioning, though not ORGANICALLY disordered. They may BECOME so, from the amount of the INFLAMMATION produced, as well as the necessity of an overactivity of same in the present condition.
15. While those administrations as have been and as are being given, will be and are effective in a physical manner, they ONLY are of a temporary or of a putting OFF of conditions - unless the mental attitude, the nerve and the resultant expressions of same - through impulses to the physical organisms - are stimulated or brought - THROUGH the mental body, and THROUGH the physical forces - to near a coordination in system, the conditions CANNOT REMAIN in a normal state though only PHYSICALLY corrected!
16. In meeting, then, the needs of the physical forces, as we find them in this body, [272] we are speaking of, we would take more time to be holy in thought, in the expression of same. To forgive and not forget is to burden self physically AND mentally. To retain suppressions, through grudges, or discontent, is to build for a mental inability of control of self through an ideal that may attempt to be held before self in the mental and spiritual applications' growth. In this direction the body should take thought, NOT of self so much as of the EXPRESSION of self's, through self's own application of the ideal held, as it may reflect in the lives of others.
17. Physically, we would add those of a DIFFERENT INTERNAL preparation, or medication, as of THIS - not changing from those applications, either for the organs of pelvis or the local applications in nose, throat or ears - for when we correct that disturbance MENTALLY, those depressions and improper impulses physically and nervously, and change the vibratory forces in system - we may have a nearer NORMAL body. Change, then, as this, taken internally:
18. To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add: Tincture Valerian.....................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya.......................1/2 ounce, Tincture Stillingia...................1/4 ounce, Iodide of Potassium, 10% solution......20 minims, Bromide of Potassium, 10% solution.....10 minims, Tincture of Capsici.....................3 minims. Shake solution together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful 3 times each day, unless found necessary for the nervous reactions in evening - this taken

in half a glass of water.
19. OSTEOPATHICALLY, correct those conditions existent in the cervical, upper dorsal and lumbar regions.
20. Keep the mind pure, and hold to an ideal, working or living better in a manifestation of that ideal. Ready for questions. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Dr. Lydic
