1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief for this body. You will answer any questions relative to this body that I will ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find the general physical conditions different from that as we have had here before. [No copy of earlier rdg. on file.] While there are many of the conditions as were existent in the system, these conditions are changed somewhat in form and appearances in the body. Some are bettered. Some are aggravated. Some are in obeisance [abeyance?], as it were, to physical conditions in the body.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [569], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find deficient in quantity and quality. Hence the action as is seen in the circulation. In the elements and constituents of blood supply, we still find that element of the bacilli as has been seen in the blood stream, producing the condition in the elimination, as is seen in the eliminating organs, and accentuating their action in portions of the system. Also accentuation in the manner of eliminating in the capillary and in the lymphatic circulation, also in the pulmonaries, and as that as is thrown off through these channels.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find in the accentuated condition, and many centers in the cerebrospinal system under strain. There are some conditions where the connection is made in the cerebrospinal center and the branches connecting same with sympathetic and with the sensory system, in the distribution of the plasmatic cell force necessary for physical action of same, and the eliminating centers as exercise the eliminating tissue from used forces that causes pressure on the system, and gives at the present time those exaggerated conditions in the functioning of the system, under the various strains of the
569-1 Page 2
body. In these special centers we find the seat of some of specific conditions at the present time, though a general condition in the system is existent; that is, the nerve system the extenuation of the rebuilding forces and eliminating of the used forces from the sympathetic and sensory system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain forces good.
7. In the sensory organism and their functioning, these we find under stress and strain, especially the eyes, where the extenuation of the reducing or eliminating of used forces cause distress in the amount of the necessary rebuilding forces being deficient. This causes pain and stress to the facial nerves, and especially to the nerves of the optic forces, producing then the hardening, or the cutting off, as it were, of the tissue and of the issue necessary for the functioning nominally of the eye. This we find produces obstructions to vision, in the manner of vision. Also produces pains to the portions of the eye itself, inducing headaches to the base of the brain, on top of the head, and through the eye, especially across to the nostril. In the rest of the organisms of the sensory system, the condition accentuates the action of others in the system attempting to create necessary tissue for the functioning of the sensory system. Hence the voice, the action of the auditory forces, of sense of smell, of sense of feeling, all become accentuated. Lung forces show the effect of the condition in pulmonaries and in the eliminating in same.
8. In the action of heart force, this subnormal at times, again above normal, on account of the condition in circulation, also the accentuation in nerve centers trying to create an equilibrium in the system, yet centers in the secondary cardiac region becoming overtaxed gives the cardiac reaction. Also the effects directly to pneumogastric center from this region producing that condition wherein digestion becomes of the nature of a sympathetic digestion, and often find things that should agree with the system becoming then objectionable, and hard of digestion. Necessary at such times to create equilibrium by taking alkalines in the system, that we may reduce the acid as is produced by poor eliminations.
9. Liver is in an exaggerated or plethora condition. The lower digestion in the intestine shows strain and weakness through these for over amount of secretion produced.
10. Rest of the system then under that strain of the condition as is produced by overtaxation in eliminations and in poor assimilations.

11. Then, to give the better condition to the body, and to relieve the strain, especially as that as shown in the eyes at present, well these be treated locally for the relaxing and the assisting in eliminating the troubles in the optics proper, changing of the glasses to bring the better focal vision to the condition as existent.
12. Relieve by manipulation the condition in the upper dorsal and cervical region. Not too deep, but the massage that relaxes the tissue as is taut about the upper dorsal and that gives the better eliminating throughout the whole system, by the gentle massage of this portion. This, with care and persistence, will bring the better conditions for this body, [569]. Relieving the condition in eye and producing better assimilation and elimination throughout the body. These manipulations should be taken at least every other day for two to three months. The treatment for the eye will be according to the responding of same to that applied. Do that.
13. (Q) What alkalines should the body take? (A) Any that produce the necessary alkaline in the system; soda, Bi-So-Dol [See 569-1 Par. R3], Phosphate of Soda, any of these, depending upon the condition under which it becomes necessary to take same. That is, the form of indigestion produced. Not be necessary to take so much, were the manipulations given regularly and properly.
14. We are through for the present.
