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

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, Mrs. [847]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions with this body. Some of these conditions are of a specific nature and the resultant effect in the functioning of the physical system produces distresses at times with this body.

3. These conditions are of such nature as to produce conditions that are SEEMINGLY complex in the system. Hence has caused some varied effects and varied opinions as to that PRODUCING same.

4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [847] we are speaking of. First:

5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find deficient in the quality, and at times in the quantity, produced by the disturbance in the assimilating system and the effects as are produced in organs as govern the distribution through the system, as relating both to the excretory and secretive functioning of organs.

6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find rather the seat or the main cause of disturbances in this body, for not ONLY are there specific conditions as prevent the normal impulse from nerve centers and plexuses, but there are also those conditions as become so involved as to produce in the sympathetic system such conditions as to produce reaction and retraction in such a manner as to cause SYMPATHETIC reaction, which produces or brings about apparently complications with the physical functions.

7. These, as we find, were produced in times back, or about the period of the second reaction in childbirth, and involved those conditions as have to do with the lower end of the system as relating to the solar plexus centers and

847-1 Page 2

the radial forces from those of the upper portion and lower portion of the locomotaries. Hence there has been those conditions wherein the system did not respond to voluntary reaction in a portion of the body. Bettered in SOME ways, for the system has attempted to abridge the reaction of the blood supply, as well as nerve energy to those portions of the system as is seen in the upper brachial plexus and in the lower part of the plexus as govern the lower locomotaries.

8. In the reaction of these to the digestive system, that of the hypogastric and pneumogastric both become involved, not only sympathetically but DIRECTLY. Hence the variations as to the action of digestive system, as well as the involving of the pressure created in heart's action.

9. To relieve this condition, then, will be to systematically relieve the pressure as exists in the 12th, 10th and 11th dorsal, as well as in sacral and lower lumbar plexus, or region, and to so stimulate the nerve and blood supply through the system as to bring resuscitation to the activity of the vibratory forces set up through the impulse from nerve energy.

10. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS IN THE BODY, brain forces very good.

11. There are seen at times that the retraction through nerve impulses through sympathetic plexus produce the over amount of stimulus to the excretory or secretive functionings of the upper portion of body. Hence cold, congestion, at times resultant, as well as the inactivity of sympathetic IMPULSE through the sensory system. So, the drooping - the quivering of the muscular forces from the upper central nerve system, are at times the result, as well as from that of the reaction through such recourses in system as to bring to the arm and right side those of the inability of locomotion.

12. In the activity of lungs, bronchials, throat - here we find only those of a SYMPATHETIC nature as abnormal.

13. Heart's action varying according to the conditions as are brought about in the system's NOMINAL functioning under the strain of existent conditions.

14. Digestive system more in SYMPATHY with conditions in the system, as radiate from the lower portion of solar plexus centers, as are under pressure.

15. The liver, spleen and functioning of these organs are under strain at TIMES; at others overactive.

16. As is seen in the lower hepatic circulation, here we have the tendency of OVER-activity, produced by the attempt of system to adjust itself to the conditions as are existent

847-1 Page 3

under pressure in the system, as is also the conditions in the lower portion of the pelvic organs. These, as are continually under pressure, produce, as is seen, more of those conditions as are as ELIMINANTS than normal.

17. To meet the needs of the conditions of this body, and to bring to the near normal, would require not only the SYSTEMATIC application but the persistent and consistent application of self, as the body IS strong minded and self-willed. These should be guided in the proper directions.

18. First we would, then, aid the system in being able to coordinate in its elimination. Not only by adding medicinal properties of the correct vibration, but to be able to meet the NEEDS of the system as corrections are made in the cerebrospinal centers FROM which the trouble arises in this body, Mrs. [847] we are speaking of.

19. In the applications, then - first we would give as these as MEDICINAL properties for the body. Prepare this as the carrier for the properties:

20. To 8 ounces of distilled water add 4 ounces wild cherry bark. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, (or slow boiling) to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add: Simple Syrup...........................2 ounces, Elixir or the juice of Ambrosia Weed...1 ounce, Tincture of Stillingia...............1/2 ounce, Syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound.......1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya......................1/2 ounce.

21. Shake solution together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful at least four times each day. After this has been taken for five to six days, BEGIN with the correction OSTEOPATHICALLY of the conditions existent along the cerebrospinal system. Not attempting to make ADJUSTMENTS until the body is thoroughly relaxed, and relax same by the treatments - given EACH day - for at least ten to fifteen treatments. Then applying wet heat before ADJUSTMENTS are made. The adjustments may be begun in the lumbar, sacral and lower dorsal region. Not making the adjustments completely in the brachial region until these are thoroughly adjusted in the lower portion of body. With the beginning of the second or third ADJUSTMENT, apply - AFTER such treatment - those of the ULTRA Violet ray for at least two minutes, but at least a distance of thirty-eight inches from the body, centering same over the lower portion of the dorsal and lumbar region.

22. When the adjustments are begun for the plexus in the UPPER portion of dorsal region, apply every THIRD day those

847-1 Page 4

of the VIOLET ray to the lower portion of the cervical and at the base of the brain. These activities sre to create the changes in the vibrations as are set up in the system, to the proper reaction with the brain centers, that have long been inactive save spasmodically in this body.

23. Do that - keeping up these conditions - keeping the diet so that the assimilations are proper and in accord with that of the proper distribution of building forces for the blood supply and nerve system. We will find in six months to nine months the near NORMAL forces for this body. Ready for questions.

24. (Q) Would rectal dilation help this condition? (A) Only after there were portions of the ADJUSTMENTS made. This is more in the sacral than in the coccyx region. The dilation would assist in ELIMINATIONS more than in the correction, other than SYMPATHETICALLY.

25. (Q) Can the body get this treatment followed out properly in Oklahoma City? (A) Find one in sympathy with these conditions, if we would make the proper corrections.

26. (Q) Should the medicinal properties be continue after the manipulations are begun? (A) Continued until the whole quantity is taken. This is to change the vibrations in the system, that the eliminations may be coordinated, else we would find we would merely TRANSFER the condition from one portion of system to another. But with SYSTEMATIC reactions coming about in system, we may find the relief as has been given may be accorded this body, [847]. We are through for the present.
