1. Yes, we have the body here. I have seen this before, you see. Now there is a great deal of difference in this body of Mr. [287], we are speaking of, in the conditions we find at present and when we had it before, you see.

2. Now, these are the conditions as we find within the body at present. Thru the blood supplying forces we find that [the blood] in the fair normal condition. Throughout, the production of all forces needed to combat with and to give the life-giving incentive to the portions of the body itself are intact, so far as the normal condition exists with the body itself. If there are conditions that to other bodies would be abnormal, to this body they are normal conditions of the body. We find the blood in a great deal better state at present time than when we had it before, for this system has been rid almost entirely of some of the bacilli that was carried when we had this before, that which produced a productive force within itself; or that which carried that portion within the blood supply, which carried all the uric forces and acids within the blood, has been rid of or set aside. As it were, nature has produced sufficient of the warriors of this character to hem these in or to carry throughout the system that property sufficient to eliminate these from the body. It is possible for its return to the system unless the proper precautions are taken at all times to ward off these conditions and to give into the system those properties necessary to keep up the combative forces within the system itself.

3. The abnormal conditions that we find thru the nerve forces are exaggerated in some extent to the conditions that we found before, especially do we find these in conjunction with the action of the sensory organism, of that portion of the body that has become somewhat taut, of lesions that have been formed along the lower and upper cervicals, so that we must produce proper distribution of nerve forces to the eyes and the ear here, you see. The effect becomes more noticeable, we see, to the left ear and to the left side of the face, hence that eye is affected, you see. Hence we find the lesion in the third cervical or to the right side

of the vertebra itself.

4. This released either by massage or by exercise to the body itself to the head and neck movements we will find will relieve and bring a better condition throughout that part of the body.

5. Then we would take, while this is being used, with the exercises or the massage either, into the system these properties which will assist the blood supplying forces to carry the proper incentive to these portions of the body and which will work and act directly on the nerve forces that are affected within the body. We would take into the system this:

Gum Camphor.............20 grains, Sulphate of Morphia.....3 grains, Muriated Ammonia........30 grains.

6. This will be mixed well together and made into 36 pellets, pills, see? The dose would be one each evening and only one, you see. By the time these are taken, if the massage or the exercises are kept, we will find we will relieve the condition thru the sensory nervous system.

7. The rest of the portion of the body we will find will come in accord with the action that this gives over the nervous forces, and the action to the whole sensory system will be improved. Do that.

8. (Q) Will that stop the ringing in the left ear? (A) Yes, this will remove the condition which produced that, hence the condition will be removed.

9. (Q) That will also strengthen the left eye so I will have better vision? (A) It will strengthen the whole sensory organism, give more strength and vitality to the body throughout. The action of these medicinal properties are this: The gum camphor is a stimulant to the sensory organism, especially to the mucus coats of all the nasal and eye and ear and throat cavities. It tends to rise, as it were, to this portion of the body.

The morphia we find in the small doses becomes a nerve astringent, stimulated.

The muriate of ammonia is also a stimulant to the action of the blood with the sensory forces to attract to the portion of the body that which will remove and give more strength to these portions needed. More vitality to the body throughout, acting directly through the action of the solar plexus forces, secondary cardiac, and the forces to the head, eyes, nose and throat.

The exercises, if taken, these would be this: Head forward three times, backward three times. To the left three, to the right three, then the circular motion of the head around the body five times, then reverse five times. Then arms or neck movement, or the massage, either or both, would assist the body; and give while the medicinal properties are being given (that is, night and morning exercises) medicinal properties once each evening.
