1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2123], and those conditions as surround same. In the physical forces of the body we find there are abnormal conditions. These, as we find, are of specific natures, affecting not only in the functioning of the system but the structural forces or portions of system also. These, as we find, may be aided in not only the functioning but in the strength and vitality as may be given to the whole system, bringing about a more near NORMAL aspect of the physical functioning, as well as in the structural forces and activities of the body. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2123] we are speaking of, present in this room:
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this somewhat below the normal in the red blood. Though this is a form of anemia, it is not a cause - rather a result of conditions as exist, and this may be, as we find, materially aided, so that the strength, the virility, the activities of the whole system may be aided through this direction.
3. IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, here we find some distortions that are produced by conditions as have long existed from pressures, that HAVE prevented - and DO prevent - the normal activity in both the circulation as related to the nervous energies of the system as well as those of supplying nutriment through the impulses as are give the circulatory system, in both nerve energy AND blood supply through structural portions of the body. As is seen in the position, in the CONDITION as exists in the cerebrospinal nervous system in many portions of same. Those particularly in the locomotaries, in the lumbar and sacral region, as well as those in the lower portion of the dorsal and the UPPER portion of the dorsal area. These, as we find, AFFECT the activities in some portions of the functioning system, as is indicated at times by the pressure as is created in that of the secondary cardiac area, which affects through the pulmonaries those conditions to the bronchi and lungs;
2123-1 Page 2
though this, again, is NOT an ORGANIC disorder, rather a result of impairment in the circulation and in the attempt of the system to adjust itself in the manner in which the conditions are hindered, brings about those reactions that make for an excess of the mucus reactions in bronchi and in portions of the lung; for the attempt is to eliminate when an excess is thrown off through this channel more than is ORDINARILY done. Hence the expectoration, the cough, the irritation as comes at times. This is rather of a SYMPATHETIC nature than of an organic nature. With the condition as is existent IN the blood supply, this becomes more acute at times.
4. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the brain forces we find the receptivity and the reaction, and the ability of discernment, acute in the physical functioning.
5. In the minutia, or in those portions of the soft tissue in the antrum and the soft portions of face and head, these at times show congestion, as indicated from irritations as are produced in the bronchi and in the secondary cardiac reflex forces of the system, affecting same through those of the circulation to the head, both in the lymph and blood supply. This also a sympathetic condition.
6. Throat, bronchi and lungs, these - as we find, as has been indicated - rather a sympathetic reaction in the system than that of an organic derangement, produced by the attempts of the system to assert or adjust itself under those conditions as existent.
7. In the digestive system and heart's action, these we find under the EXISTENT forces in near a normal reaction. Those of the activities of the liver and spleen do not always function in coordination. These, however, are much bettered than that as HAS existed in the functioning of these organs, especially the spleen, which acts in its double capacity of clarifying of the red blood supply, as also the discernment through the activities of the brain forces and its cells in its dissemination of impulses in the system. In the liver and lower digestive system, we find these are very good in their functionings.
8. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as are existent in the present, and bringing about - for the physical organism of the body - that which would be much nearer an active, and much nearer normal forces, as we find may be accomplished to a greater degree than may be expected nominally, yet to the body itself - will that be builded as an expectancy for the developments and the adjustments in the normal forces of the system - we will find a receptivity and an activity that will be surprising, even to the body

itself. In meeting these, then, we would begin first with those of the massage as will carry in same those of equal parts of olive oil, tincture of myrrh, oil of cedar, oil of mustard - see? Add first by heating the oil, that of the tincture of myrrh. Then those of the oil of cedar and oil of mustard. These would be massaged each day along the cerebrospinal system, ESPECIALLY those in the brachial plexus - as the 3rd and 4th dorsal area, in the 10th, 11th and 12th dorsal area, and in the lumbar regions - see?
9. Each WEEK, as these are given, we would also use those of the massage over the limbs - the lower limbs, from the locomotary center to the ankle - those as would be prepared in this manner:
10. To 1/2 gallon of PLAIN gasoline, not colored - or not that of high test, but the PLAIN gasoline, half a gallon - add: Oil of Cedar.....................2 ounces, Oil of Mustard...................2 ounces, Oil of Sassafras.................1 ounce. This would be massaged in the locomotary center - that is, the lumbar center, see - once each week, and along the limbs to the ankles and the feet.
11. We would take as much activity in water as is POSSIBLE for the body to do, see - as swimming, as any activity of that nature;
12. Adding also those vibrations as will be had from taking the animated ash, with the ultra VIOLET light over the 3rd and 4th CERVICAL area and over the solar plexus area ONCE each week - not on the days, however, or portion of week those of the lower massage is given. Do that.
13. In the matter of the diet, we would use that of a well BALANCED diet that is particularly blood and nerve building. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What has caused the sole of my feet to draw up to a tight, cramped condition, at times worse than others, which has caused me to become unbalanced and fall? (A) This an activity of the sciatic centers. Hence that particular order than the locomotaries and the limbs be massaged with, a different combination from that as is to exercise the muscular forces along the cerebrospinal system. With the use of these massage on the limbs, see, first we will find a tenderness occurring in the bursae of the feet, ESPECIALLY in that in the heal and the ball of the feet. This, with the third or fourth application however, will disappear and there will be more elasticity, more strength, and an easier activity of the body.

15. (Q) Is there a growth on my left ovary? (A) This from a pressure in the lumbar and sacral area, rather than a growth. There IS at present an adhesion there. This, WITH the massage, with the animated ash - that will allow the activity of oxygen released in the system - will CLARIFY this condition, if taken at present; otherwise, it must of itself - being adhered - become a growth, or a drying up of tissue itself.
16. (Q) What dosage of the ash, and how often? (A) We would take the ash one-eighth grain EVERY day. On the day that the ultra violet is to be applied, half to three-quarters of an hour before, take a quarter grain - or a double dose, see?
17. (Q) The light to be applied once each week? (A) Preferably Tuesdays, while the massage for the lower portion on Thursdays - see?
18. (Q) The other massage to be every day? (A) Every evening, and especially in the BRACHIAL area - the solar plexus area and the upper LUMBAR area, which is in the 3rd and 4th lumbar, see? The 1st, 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 10th, 11th and 12th dorsal, and the 3rd and 4th lumbar. The massage for the lower portion of the body, in the lower lumbar and the whole of the sacral, or the locomotary area for the lower extremities - see? The application of the ultra violet over the 3rd and 4th CERVICAL area, the 10th and 11th DORSAL area, that it releases the oxygen for the respiratory system in the one, for that of the digestive and assimilating area in the other. We will find results. Be patient. Be persistent. Be consistent - for the works that may be worked through thee will be gratifying in every sense.
