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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2718].
3. As we find, while the body is very good in many respects, there are those disturbances that are a constant hindrance in preventing the better normal functionings through the physical forces of the body.
4. These from their long standing, in some manners, have become rather what might be termed constitutional reactions - and form something of a complication of disorders.
5. We find that these arise primarily from an injury, or a pressure that occurred in the body-physical forces some times back. And the pressures are upon the coccyx area; thus they are deflected to varied activities through the body-forces; producing some disturbances in the circulation in the exterior portions of the body - at times upsetting the digestive system, at others causing periods of great irritation and a great deal of nerve distress through the body.
6. These vary according to activities and those disturbances through the system. To be sure, it produces the nerve tension between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous system. For, in all those areas, from the character or nature of the lesion formed there, we find that sympathetic lesions are produced - in the 9th dorsal, 3rd and 4th dorsal, and in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cervical.
7. Upsetting the organ activities, from the deflection of energies in the nerve and blood supply, we find that at times there are suppressions and at other times an overactivity.
8. These as we find are the disturbances with this body, [2718].

9. As we find, to bring about bettered conditions it will require a series of corrections in the first; some twelve to fifteen adjustments; combined with a low form of electrical stimulation - which may be given with the sinusoidal or the very low heat wave, or alternating current.
10. But the adjustments should be made at least twice a week to once a week of the low electrical treatments - or that ratio, see? These are to be given with specific reference to the straightening of the disturbances in the coccyx and lumbar subluxations, and the lesions in the 9th dorsal, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, and through the cervical area.
11. After, say, fifteen treatments and seven of the electrical treatments, we would leave off these for a period of ten days or two weeks. Then, after such a rest period, have some ten or twelve adjustments, with more of the heat wave treatments - to produce better coordination between the superficial and the deeper circulation in the nervous organisms as well as in the functioning of the system as related to blood supplies.
12. It may be necessary to follow these with a third series, but - by the middle or the beginning of the second series - we should see much bettered conditions for this body.
13. These as we find we would have done by such as Saxmann.
14. Do this.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What about the diet? (A) A well balanced diet, rich in the whole grain cereal and fruits, and especially raw vegetables also.
17. (Q) Is there a seat of infection in my body? (A) This arises from the general disturbance, and as deflected from those various centers between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems. These, of course, affect the blood supply by the interference in the assimilation - and thus a source of infection. However, the correction of those disturbances that deflect the impulses will bring about better conditions.
18. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self Copy to Ass'n file e
