1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while the conditions as we find that are abnormal are outwardly not serious, there should be precautions taken for this body - for the conditions are subtle.
2. Now, these have to do with the manner in which the pressure is created in the system; that is, the blood supply and the heart's action, and the pressure as created by this fullness and by the existent conditions in the physical organism of the body [hypertension?]. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, Mrs. [327] we are speaking of.
3. Now, IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find full - too full, in fact. This causes the slowness of the circulation at most times, and the quickening of the functioning of the organs affected by that condition. This producing, then, a regurgitation, and floods the organs of same - that is, the pulmonary, the heart, the aorta artery, and the organs that are filled by same in the deeper pulsations. Hence the body easily warms up, as it were, or the heat at times to the central portion, smothering effect or feeling over the system. While those conditions that have been affecting the system in various portions of the body have aided the condition, the EFFECT of the anesthesia, especially to the nerve system, has allowed this fullness in the circulation, and produces the greater distresses. While the organs and the nerve system are full, or too lax in their functioning, many of these may be aided to bring to a nearer normal force the nominal functioning, but care should be taken that there is not an over excitement of any nature. Neither should there be too much of a full relaxing of the system in what would be termed inertia, or inactivity - but this should NOT be overdone to the extent that the system becomes overtaxed in any way, either mentally OR physically. Then, that inter-between, or that moderation, or that condition wherein the system is kept in that way in which more of the system

physically uses up the energy as is created IN the system. The body should NOT so tax self by dieting [GD's note: She was overweight.] as to cause the strength and vitality to be on the wane, but rather that equalization so that the coordinating forces of the system keep each functioning organ and each portion of the circulation, whether of blood supply, nerve energy, capillary circulation, lymphatic circulation, or of the hepatic [liver?] itself, coordinating one with another. A regular routine, then, would be well for the body, of specific activities, and of specific rests, with that aiding which will bring better coordination to the body. These, as we find, would be best found in this:
4. First we would, as the body at times suffers from insomnia, when the body awakens of morning IMMEDIATELY arise! Do not become restless by thinking, worrying, or of the activities mentally or physically, but immediately arise. Roll a lemon, cut in half. Squeeze the juice of same and drink without water with this, but take water afterward. Then walk just as far as the body is sure that it will be able to return without too much fatigue. Returning, rest for three to five minutes, then a good pinch of salt on the other half of the lemon and suck this, or get the juice with the salt for the system. Then rest until the morning meal, which should consist principally of those food values that carry those of the building for nerve energy, rather than blood building at this meal. Those things preferably as in cereals that are well cooked, or that are dry, or these may be alternated. Enough just to satisfy the body without producing hunger.
5. Of the noon meal, or lunch, this should consist principally of those of the green vegetables that are ABOVE the ground. Celery, lettuce, tomatos, or such foods.
6. Of the evening, little of the meats - but more of those of the cooked foods that carry with same rather WEIGHT, than building - but that SATISFY the hunger.
7. Use that of the plain Radio-Active Appliance. Best that this be used twice each day, when the body rests of morning or evening, and when the body retires. This should be kept on for at least half an hour at each period, or may be lengthened in the evenings. This, we find, will throw off that of the heaviness, giving the better coordination between the systems and reducing that pressure as is apparent in the blood supply, easing the heart's action, removing strain and pressure from base of brain, preventing the flooding of the system with the blood supply that becomes slowed up in extremities.

8. Well, too, were the body of evenings, before retiring, to massage the spine thoroughly with as COLD water as the body can stand. This should be done ALL the way from the base of brain to the end of the spine. Massage, following the COLD sponging. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Why are the eyes and ears affected, and what treatment advised? (A) This from the pressure created in the cervical plexus that governs the flow of blood and energy to the organs of the sensory system. This fullness, this ringing or cricket sensation that feels of a fullness to these portions, is produced by that pressure there. Hence the massage. Hence the coordinating of the nerve energy and blood supply.
10. (Q) How long should this be kept up? (A) Until we have a near equalized pressure in the blood supply, and until the body feels the variations that come to the system from such diet and such routine. This, as we find, should not be to the extent that it WEAKENS the body. Be careful and be mindful that there are the proper evacuations from the system. Mild cathartics - but DO NOT keep JUST one! CHANGE - alter same, and occasionally use enemas or douches that cleanse the system from ANY of those irregularities that come from an affected circulation. We are through for the present.
