1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions that are to be corrected as we find in this body have to do with the nervous forces in the system, and the effect this has produced over the body in the functioning of the organs of portions of the sensory organism. This is an especial condition.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. The blood supply throughout the system at the present time is very good. There is carried in the system and in the blood flow at present some factors that have been thrown in the system by the plasmodic [spasmodic?] cells of the digestive forces that brings distress signals to the pneumogastric nerve so that through portions of the body we find the effect of this as especially in the head at present. Through the action of this same force in the blood, we have a debilitated condition through the lower portions of the body or through those of the abdomen. There are those secretions thrown off in the hepatics that produce this portion of the distress signals, as it were, to the body.
3. In the nerve forces the body is very good through the action of the cerebrospinal nerve centers, or through the brain action and forces over the system. Through the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system as a whole, we find there is about the ilium plexus those leisons [lesions] produced, that, with their reflex influences over the upper portion of the nerve forces about and above the brachial plexus, that which prevents the proper functioning of the nerves in their distribution of blood forces to the sensory organism, so in its action over the system it has produced the inability of the body to co-ordinate through the action of the auditory nerves, except under certain vibrations so the body is incapable of discerning or discriminating the extent of the sound waves to the ear, so the inability, as produced there. The sensory forces as govern the ear, supplying nutriment to these, bring the condition in the body. To the action of the sensory forces there is added the inability of the body to eliminate properly by and through the effect as produced in the sympathetic centers

about the plexus in the lumbar regions. The functioning of the organs themselves as organs, that is, the brain force is very good, well balanced in many ways. Those of the throat, larynx and portions that begin the first digestive forces, these are below the normal at the present, yet the lacking in their ability to function normally only under a strain at the present time. The lung forces are good, save the action as produced in the plexus governing the sensory distributing forces. Through the digestive tract we find no organic conditions, save reflexes of the condition over the body.
4. To give the proper incentives to the nerve forces to direct this body, we would add to the system those properties necessary to make the balance and to produce the co-ordinating forces within this body itself. We would make this for the body and give in the system for a general condition:
5. To one gallon of water, rain water preferred, add:
Yellow Dock Root...........2 ounces, Black Root.................2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark...........2 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark...........2 ounces.
Simmer not boil until reduced to one quart, strain, while warm add four ounces of grain alcohol with three drams Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be teaspoonful three times each day. This is for the blood condition as produced through the genitory by the injection of those poisons that had to do with the hearing. To eliminate these poisons, do this. After this has been taken into the system, we would then prepare the vibrations necessary to create the connection between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal and sensory organisms. They would be prepared in this manner:
6. There would be two bars [of] steel, one-half inch wide, one-fourth inch thick, three inches long. These would be bound together with a carbon between (preferably, the bars be made of soft steel). To each of the bars would be attached a wire, small wires, copper, both these wires attached to plates, that is, a plate to each wire, you see, one wire or plate, when in use would be attached to one ankle the other to the opposite wrist for thirty minutes each evening. The bars or the battery, when in use would be placed in a solution of this:
7. To one gallon of water, add:
Common Salt...........1/2 pound, Charcoal (ordinary)...1/2 pound,
2226-1 Page 3
Zinc....................6 drams, Sulphuric Acid..........1 ounce.
This had best placed in a glass container.
8. Do that, we will find within a short time we will begin to see the signs of returning vibrations to the body in their proper form. After several months the body will be able to hear and vibrate normally, Mrs. [2226]. We are through.
