Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Va. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [571].
2. Now, as we find, there are some disorders in the better physical functioning of the body, or disorders that disturb the better physical functioning of the body.
3. These have to do with the coordinations in the eliminating systems, and produce in the nerve forces of the body a rush of blood to portions of the body, cutting off the reflexes to the head; thus producing the contraction and spasmodic conditions at periods in the system.
4. As we shall see, these are of a specific nature, and had their inception in a type of fever that was contracted by the body at some times past - which affects the glands and the secretions from same, causing this disorder.
5. In the BLOOD SUPPLY we find there are the indications of the character of the suppression, for this deals with the eliminations as related to the developments of the sex organs of the body - or the genitive system. For, with these reactions those glands in the pelvic organs MUST produce their coordinations with the nervous system, the activity throughout the functioning of elimination coordinated with the respiratory system, the activity of the liver and kidneys with the glands in all portions of the system. For, each must furnish its portion of activity to the body.
6. Hence the blood shows a heaviness in its circulation through the hepatics.
7. In the NERVOUS SYSTEM this coordination is more specific, as we see from the glands in the genitive system that produce the activities of the organs in their functioning.
8. As to the pressure caused by the contraction, we find this in the head, the neck - that is, the axis - and in the lumbar area.
9. As to the ORGANS of the body, these we find are very good in their functioning for near normalcy in all other portions

of the system.
10. Then, in meeting the needs of these conditions, or supplying that which will create for the system the activities that will overcome these conditions, we would add that found in the use of a compound prepared in this way and manner:
11. To a 1 gallon measure of Maypop or Mayblossom, or Passion Flower vine and blossom, add 2 gallons of distilled water. Reduce by slow boiling to 1 quart. Then strain and add Tincture of Stillingia 1/2 ounce, and sufficient pure grain alcohol to preserve same - or a solution so that it is 1 part of the alcohol to 20 parts of the solution, see?
12. The dose would be a teaspoonful four times each day, before each meal and upon retiring.
13. When the quantity has been used, then RENEW the quantity. We would continue to take this for three to four months.
14. And at least every week have a general thorough hand massage; not osteopathic manipulations, but rather that of the neuropathic nature - or the activity that follows the nerves from the central portion of the body to the extremities, see?
15. And we will find we will overcome these conditions.
16. As to the matter of diet, be mindful that there are not highly seasoned foods taken, nor sweets or pastries; but a WHOLESOME well-balanced diet, tending toward the alkalin.
17. Do this, and we will bring for this body, [571], NORMAL conditions.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Is it meant that there are to be no pastries or sweets taken, or just in a fair normal manner? (A) Not a large quantity, just very SMALL quantity, you see. Let rather the sugars or sweets taken be rather from the NATURAL fruits, the natural vegetable sweets and sugars, you see. Of course, small quantities may be taken, but NEVER large quantities of candies or pastries of any kind.
20. (Q) What about the physical activity during the time? (A) This should be as near normal - and in the open as much as is possible.
21. (Q) The prescription is to be filled the second time and no more? (A) Continue with this as long as it would be necessary, but - as we find - in the four months we would find near normal conditions developing. After the second month we would give further information through these sources as to how the conditions are
571-1 Page 3
developing, or what - if any - changes are necessary for creating a normal balance in the activity of the glands and this correlating of the eliminations and coordinations in the body. See?
22. (Q) Neuropathic treatment is suggested. Can you tell me who - (A) (Interrupting) Any good masseuse, you see. Do this and, as we find, we will overcome and we will creative a normal balance. Without this, to be sure, there may be produced such strains in organs or the nerve forces as to become a constitutional condition.
23. We are through for the present.
