1. LBC: You have before you Miss [635], who is in this building. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
2. EC: You see, we have through the whole condition of the body, through the whole system, through the nervous system, a strain on the nervous system of the whole body, and especially through the solar plexus, through the supply from the branch from a strain to the spleenic action on the nerve forces of the system.
3. We find you see, the spleen in itself, and in its action on the blood and its properties, carrying the nerve tissue, or nerve matter, produces an enlarged spleen. The nervous system in the whole body is taut, especially those from the 9th dorsal to the first cervical, or all along the spine.
4. The blood supply, or the circulation of the body, of [635], is above normal - it is faster. The supply, or quality of the blood is not clarified by the action of the air altogether, in the lungs, as much as it should be. The quickness of the blood, that is, the quickness of its action through the whole system is produced by an overtaxation of the nervous system, and by the incapability of the kidneys to throw off the discharge from the excess matter. That produces then, through the sides, from the outside, along in the lumbars, and across the upper part of the pelvis, pains, and through the small of the back here below the kidneys, and above - pains which come in contact with the helia nerve of the spine, or the branch end, or the tail of the solar plexus, and cerebrospinal nerve center.
5. (Q) What other conditions do you find? (A) Of course, we have the reflex conditions from these which exist in the body, but these are what produce the abnormal condition in the system. The digestion in the system is very good considering, you see, of course, the quantity and quality of the blood, that produces the digestion, through the muscular forces of the body, with the nerve tension as we have it. When we take into consideration all these, we have a very good digestion. A very good force of action from all the muscular forces of

the body, except we have at times, by the uric acid being allowed to carry back into the system, which shows itself in the form of pains in the side, through the lower limbs and arms, or neuralgia pains, or rheumatic pains. Have them sometime in the upper trunk of the body, in one form, and the lower trunk in others, through the lower extremities.
To remove this condition from the system, produce something to act on the spleenic force here in the blood, into the stomach in itself, to act on the stomach, and gastric juices in the stomach wherewith they act then on the circulation through the force on the spleenic action. We produce then into the system a condition whereby we alleviate the strain of the nerve force. The body needs rest as much as anything. It is from the mind - the nerve force and tissue and the tension on it. We produce then a lack of these forces in the system.
Then to eliminate from the system, as far as possible, all of the uric acid allowed to gather in the system, through the channel where we have it through its organization, and so it will not be absorbed any more into the system than possible.
6. (Q) What would this be to take into the stomach, to relieve this condition? (A) Take magnesia, or milk of magnesia into the stomach, small quantities far apart, producing an assimilation of the juices of the foods in the stomach, carrying off the excess acting on the duodenum proper here, calling off the forces from the stomach, or emptying the stomach and channels to be acted on by the liver. The more action by the liver produces more of course to the kidneys. We have the severest of pains here when the body lies down, at rest. Put hot applications along across the back right across the pelvis, higher up until it comes along at the lower end of the liver, down the side where the pains come. We loosen the tension, as it were from these. Then, we take into the system in between from the action we have on the stomach in itself, from that of the magnesia, oil of juniper - very small quantities once a day, producing an over-stimulation through the action and a sickening to the stomach. The body will then be better. .
