1. LBC: You have before you Miss [340], who is in this room, before you now. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
2. EC: Now, we begin here with the body, from the head and go over the body from here. We have from the 2nd cervical, too much flow of blood to the head at times. Lesions of a floating character formed there from the blood supply to the muscular force being increased by these, increasing pains to the head which extend down to the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsals, producing at times pains - not all the time - along the spine, the head, then seems to gather as it were, across the base, on the back, a sort of creepy feeling around over the head, to the top of the head, the frontal part of the eye, the muscular contraction of the blood force supplying to these coming from the condition we have here at the lesion formed at the 7th to 8th dorsal, produced there from the condition we have supplying to the muscular forces, upper part of the stomach to the diaphragm, in themselves, and they in turn produced from condition of pressure produced on to the lower, or floating attachments here to the 11th, 12th dorsals. The pressure up of the stomach in itself, toward the diaphragm, producing then, an overtaxation to the muscular forces to the upper portion or supplied by those of the solar plexus, from the 9th dorsal, producing over-stimulation to the supply to the blood forces to the diaphragm in themselves proper. They, in turn, effect the upper cardiac plexus here to the forces governing the upper orifice of the stomach, or the secretions of the gastric juices in the stomach themselves, producing, as we have here, an overtaxed, or excess of lactic acid in the stomach. That, in turn, of course, produces the condition we have through the sympathetics of the lower intestinal tract, producing then, through the kidneys an overtaxed condition, bearing down pains here through the pelvis at the time of menses, producing and over-taxed condition to the whole system, or a straining of the system in itself, through the

condition produced on the body by a pressure through the governing nerve supply to the cardiac plexus, and solar plexus coliac plexus in the body. That is, we lessen the amount of nutriment supplied through these ganglia to the nerve force in the system, or producing to the system nervous rack, or creeping feeling comes over the whole body, as we have through the head. It ain't sick all the time. Just nervous, weak, tired, sick at the stomach.
3. (Q) Any other conditions you see? (A) Have some few reflexes, of course, and the posterior portions show some signs through the lymphatics, and little bit through the blood in itself. Nervous conditions, some few strains on the muscular force and through portions of the body, to the limbs, and arms, tired feeling to the emunctories in the arms and legs themselves.
4. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve these and bring the body back to a normal condition? (A) Relaxation of the body.
5. (Q) What would that be? (A) Nature. Outside. Let the body relax itself to the whole condition. Keep in the air as much as possible, and take into the stomach that of a peptone state, or pepsin in itself, after thoroughly filling the stomach with water first. Fill the stomach with water until we float out, or produce to the system an action from the water in itself to the kidneys or supplying force to the drainage of the system. Then produce into the system the peptone state or that of the same nature we have through the alkaline into the first, or the saliva in the mouth. We then produce to the gastric juices in the stomach a new supplying force to the hydrochloric state in the stomach. Overcome the lactic condition; remove the strain to the duodenum, the supplying forces to the blood forces of the pancreas and liver. Remove the strain on all these portions of the body by letting the body relax.
6. (Q) Should there be any treatment along the spine for the lesions along there? (A) Relaxing of the condition of the body will produce a thorough drainage of the stomach in itself. A relaxation of the muscular force of the system and relaxation then of the nerve tension of the body, then we will treat along the spine, that is, from the 9th dorsal, and the whole spine, as we produce, when we relax this condition, a tautness along the lumbars at the solar plexus. Relax the whole condition of the spine by manipulation of the spine with the hands. Not necessarily rotary motion, but relax.
7. (Q) Any other treatment?

(A) No, that is all.
