1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions regarding same that I may ask you.

2. EC: (Yes - very unusual circumstances surrounding the conditions at the present time, see?)

3. Now, we find there are conditions as - were these corrected - would bring about the more normal functioning of the physical forces of the body, and thus bring the better conditions in the physical and mental manner. These, as we find, have to do with the eliminations, and the conditions as have been produced in various portions of the system, and the effect as these have on the functioning of organs.

4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in this body, [639], we are speaking of. First:

5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in many respects, yet the elements and constituents of the supply show the lack of proper elimination. Hence a disturbed circulation in various portions, especially about those centers where subluxations in the ganglions show improper nerve reflexes.

6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find many of the seats and causes of conditions as are existent in the physical forces of the body. These are rather those of the nature where the segments are too close. Hence there are forming in various parts those conditions that give improper incentive toward the eliminations from organs where nerve and blood supply have their part in the functioning of same; as is seen in the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. The sacral region shows some impacts close to that of the pivot in the last lumbar, which gives to the locomotion, and to the locomotaries direct, that heavy dullness as is experienced in the body, and the inability of the blood supply as flows to the extremities to return, as it were, on proper time. Hence there are times when there

is the feeling - rather than the actual experience - of a too fullness in the lower extremities; feet and lower limbs tired; aching of body is experienced through the lower portion of the back and down the limbs. Again we find the same condition existent in another extremity, as it were, of the cerebrospinal system, especially in that of the 4th and 5th cervical. Here we find the reflexes to the sensory system are impaired. Hence we have a coarseness, or a hoarseness at times, as is produced to the functioning of the incentive for the circulation and secretions as are occurring and incurring in the throat and bronchials. Again we find this produces too much effusion, as it were, or too much of mucus in portions of the throat and bronchials. Hence a filling up, or a drying, as it were, by non-activity along the eustachian Tubes. Hence the far away hearing reaction to the body occurs from same, as does the action of the body when asked a question quickly to respond or to change the trend of thought from that upon which the body may be intent. Not a defect, but a poor reflection, a poor circulation, a poor elimination, produced by crossed segments, or the cervical and lumbar and sacral showing impacts, as it were; through age, through diet, through poor elimination as set at times in this body, [639], we are speaking of.

7. THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, under such strain, as we find, find their reflexes - and rather a functional than an organic condition incurs or happens from same.

8. As we see, the sensory system is that as directly affected by this impediment in nerve supply, or nerve incentive. That in the lower portion is rather the circulatory system as is impeded by the condition existent.

9. Then, to meet the needs of these would be to - through that proper manipulation to the whole system, osteopathically given - correct the conditions in the lumbar and sacral, and in the cervical, and especially treating the Eustachian Tubes along their course, breaking up those lesions as are shown along these.

10. These will overcome these conditions and bring about a more perfect equalization in the body, and this tired irregularity to the whole system will be stimulated by adding those vibrations - after such treatments, occasionally; that is, about once each week (though the manipulations should be given twice) - from the infra-red, or from the violet ray, or alternate. These will give new life to the body. We would do that at the present.

11. Ready for questions.

12. GC: That is all.

13. Do this as has been given for the present time. With these changes as come about in these, it may be necessary to change those conditions for the body; as would be found - as from that given - the diet, which should be regulated according to those suggestions and those changes that are made in the system by the proper adjustments for the body.

14. We are through for the present.
