1. EC: Now, while we find this body very good, there are some abnormal conditions that may be corrected. They have to do with the conditions as exist in the eliminating forces, especially in those of the trunk portion of the body, [See Life reading 583-1 on 11/16/23 warning of this condition.] the organs direct in their functioning, and the condition this produces in the nerve system, the tissue of the body in these portions, and that as produced by these conditions.

2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, while we find this very good, yet there is that element in the system that prevents the blood from giving the best rebuilding forces in the system. That is, in the assimilation of those properties that go to make up the rebuilding forces in the blood supply, much is turned to white in the condition to meet the needs that should give rebuilding forces in the body. In the balance between the red and white blood supply, then, we find lack of number of rebuilding cells in red, and in excess at times in the white.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find specific conditions in centers along the cerebrospinal nerve center, that especially in the lower portion of the solar plexus center, or those branches that have to do with the exterior portion of the frontal portion of body, so that we find on either side at times there are acute pains, more from nerve contraction from conditions within, though the nerve reaction is to posterior rather than anterior nerves, as we shall see.

5. In this region, then, we find, in the upper or second lumbar segment, those [indications] of a lesion as is formed some there. In the sympathetic at this juncture of the cerebrospinal and sympathetic, about the solar plexus center, ninth dorsal, we find some tension to the exterior portion. This is reflex, and that that produces the nerve

reaction, and the body becomes nervous, over seemingly small conditions, yet under stress with the mental forces the body would overcome, and does overcome, these conditions at times.

6. In the sensory organism, in this same force; that is, from the solar plexus center, there are some reflexes causing disturbances at times to the organs of the sensory system. Only spasmodic, and only slight as yet, you see.

7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces good. Above the ordinary.

8. Functioning of organs of the sensory system very good, save, as we have given, as produced from reflexes at times. This shows more in throat and larynx at times than other portions of the sensory organism.

9. In the throat, larynx and bronchials the extra amount of secretions, as is shown, produce the condition by this extra amount of blood flow as comes from reflex forces.

10. Lungs very good.

11. Digestive tract, when inflammation is created in the lower portion of the intestinal tract, the digestion becomes overtaxed, and an extra amount of the hydrochloric juices are created in the stomach proper. This gives this lack of appetite at times to the body, and a filling up of the stomach when little is eaten, or taken in the system.

12. The liver we find does not function properly, either in excretory or secretive functioning, or a torpid liver. This produced by the high state of the circulation, as produced through hepatics as the hepatics circulation brings flow of blood through pyloric arterial force, and is returned to the liver through these we have this excess of secretions. Hence is taken up of the building forces in blood, and in that of the liver over-taxed, until it becomes torpid in its action.

13. Some trouble about the gall duct at times, you see, in its secretions for the proper digestion in the upper portion of intestinal tract, or intestinal indigestion. The inflammation as created in the intestinal tract, through the region of the ducts that secrete from the digestive tract, that of the blood force for the system becomes taut, and at times some inflammation of the slight nature produced. Hence the tendency at most all times, except when excited, as created in the ducts of the liver and the pancreas of the internal forces becoming light, and the tendency of the body to be constipated, for the secretion for all the system is lacking through this portion; that is, colon, ascending, transverse and descending. Hence the troubles as is felt through all these portions of the system.

14. The condition in pelvic, or pelvic organs, with this inflammation some trouble is experienced there at times. This is the normal force, however, with the condition, and with the correction of this in the intestinal tract, in the liver, and the organs of elimination and assimilation will be assisted, and with the removal of those lesions in the lumbar, and lower dorsal, will remove that condition there, you see, for these become reflex from these lesions.

15. R E L I E F, to give, then, the best to the system, and to create the equilibrium necessary, we would take those vibrations as from deep manipulation and massage over the whole system, to remove these conditions along the spine, and the lesion as is formed in portions of the intestinal tract. This will take from ten to nineteen such treatments to relieve these conditions. Take in the system, only this should be taken every third day, as this:

16. One-half teaspoonful plain phosphate of soda, in half glass of water. When this is taken (in this would be put 5 drops syrup of Sarsaparilla, 1 drop oil of Juniper and 1 drop of White Pine Oil, you see, of White Pine or Turp). This will be taken only every third day, and will only be necessary with these properties in the system, with the manipulations, to take these properties nine doses.

17. Do that, and we will find this body will be in its normal forces for its best development.
