1. EC: We have the body here, [452]. Now, as we find, while there are very good conditions in many respects, there are disorders that might be easily corrected in the present that would prevent much disorder later on; also bring about better conditions for the physical functioning of the body. If these are allowed to remain, as we find, from the character of the conditions, there must of necessity be builded in the system that which will allow the system to become more and more susceptible to influences that will affect the body from the outside, of material natures, as we shall see from how and where the effect is in the body.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [452].
3. In the BLOOD supply, this we find very good save the effects that are seen occasionally from those reactions from conditions that affect the nerve and blood supply sympathetically.
4. In the NERVE portions of the system, in the cerebrospinal system we find there have been some impingements in the upper dorsal and cervical area, where the organs of the sensory system, especially, are involved. Those particularly in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, in the 4th and 5th cervical area, as affect the nerve impulse to the nasal and throat activities, the sense of smell, and the sense of FEELING in the relationships to the AUDITORY forces of the body. With these impulses hindered, the body has become more and more susceptible to particles that may float in the air, or that affect the muco-membranes of the nasal cavity and the soft tissue that supplies those nutriments in circulation, in nerve impulse. Hence the body is BORDERING on that which would develop into what may be termed hay fever, or an inflammation of the muco-membranes of throat and head, by pollen, dust, sound, water - any effect that AFFECTS such membranes. Hence the resultant effects upon

the body, and the tendency for the ducts of the face, of the eye, of the mouth, of the salivary glands, to OVER function, or produce irritations in the system. These are better at times than at others, when the body is more free from those things that irritate. The BASIS or CAUSE, however, is in the inflection as produced in the nervous system, in the dorsal and cervical area.
5. As to the ORGANS of the system that are affected by these, these - we find - are rather of the secondary or sympathetic nature, and with the correction of these conditions in the present we would find that the system would be relieved of a great deal of inconvenience and make for a better functioning of the body throughout.
6. Then, to make for these corrections, we would have the adjustments osteopathically given, with the antiseptics that would CLARIFY the throat and nasal cavities - in the form of a preparation as in this:
7. To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, in an 8 ounce container, we would add: Eucalyptol, Oil of...................20 minims, Benzoin...............................5 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp.................5 minims, Rectified Creosote....................8 minims, Canadian Balsam.......................5 minims, Tolu in solution.....................40 minims. Shake solution together when it is to be inhaled. When there is the spasmodic condition of sneezing, or the tendency to cough, or irritation, or tendency to clear the throat, this we would inhale in throat and in nasal cavities two or three times. This is only an antiseptic, but will clarify the muco-membranes of the throat and head, and assist in relieving the pressure in the system, PROVIDED those adjustments are made in the dorsal and cervical region.
8. We would follow these, and we will find bettered conditions for this body, [452].
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What causes perspiration of hands? (A) Unequaled circulation, produced by pressure in those regions of the brachial centers, as indicated from those impingements in the upper dorsal region.
11. (Q) What can be done locally for impurities on face? (A) Do as we have outlined for these conditions, and - as has been indicated - when the circulation of the body has been readjusted, through the relieving of pressures to the
452-2 Page 3
upper portion of the system that affect the muco-membranes and soft tissue of the face, neck, head, throat, we will find these will clarify themselves. Keep the eliminations open.
12. (Q) If body goes to Nova Scotia, is there any suggestion as to diet to keep body in good physical condition? (A) As we will find, the greater needs are for the correct adjustment in the dorsal and cervical area, with the properties as indicated for the clarifications of the inflammation that is produced by the irritation in the mucomembrane. As to the diet in other conditions, surroundings or positions, this - to be sure - depends a great deal upon the surroundings, the temperamental effects that are created upon the system, but those that will keep a normal equilibrium and those that are in accord with the surroundings - or those that are GROWN in the surroundings are the better for the body, provided the eliminations are kept nominal for the system.
13. (Q) How often should the adjustments be given? (A) Were three to four such treatments given, a day between each one, these SHOULD correct this - at the present state.
14. (Q) How can it be proved to body that the source of this information is in harmony with his work. [In the Christian ministry] (A) This must be found within self by that which may aid in the physical conditions, as this: These will be indicated as we have found here. Will the tests be made, or the conditions be followed out by one that may make such examinations for the locations, then these bringing their results should prove; for "Proof of the pudding is in the eating".
15. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother (2) " " File
