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, [3130].
3. Now as we find while there are disturbing conditions these are not as yet organic in their nature. Functional disturbances naturally arise from what might be very commonly called the "batteries" of the body having run down; that is, the nerve energies of the body, the ability to store energy, and the muscular force and the tendons of the body has given way, by the over-activity and the lack of vital energies in that assimilated by the system.
4. Hence, as we find there are lesions formed along almost every center where the cerebrospinal and sympathetic are - in the main centers - joined. To be sure, plexus at each segment, but those especially in the third cervical, first, second, and third dorsal, ninth dorsal and the lumbar axis particularly, and in the ileum plexus. We find there a building of a coating between or on the cushion ends of the segments.
5. Thus, the body is easily fatigued, with headaches at times, the heart becomes quickened at times, up-setting the body. And the weaknesses and the dizziness arise from these reflexes from cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system.
6. As we find we would relax the body, not with dry heat but with a Fume Bath using Witchhazel fumes. Use two teaspoonsful to a pint of boiling water to produce the fumes. Following this, have a hot and cold shower and then a rub-down; using peanut oil along the spinal centers, not hard, but just relaxing those segments and connections in those specific areas as well as the body muscles. Thus, the

peanut oil will be absorbed so as to feed the superficial circulation.
7. Such a treatment we would take twice the first week and after that, once a week. The first will tire out the body some, but take it easy, and rest after the applications are made. And we will find we will have helpful forces for this body.
8. The ultra-violet while the body is resting would be helpful provided the green light is projected between the light and the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How may I regain my energy, confidence, and nervous equilibrium, to work again? (A) This will be gained by the gaining of strength and having the resistance. This we should have with those suggestions made by the ones making these applications. In the diet, take plenty of vitamins that are body-building. As a supplement, we would take internally the One-A-Day Complex Vitamins. This means one tablet each day. Take these for three weeks, then leave them off a week, then take again for another three weeks. Beware of white breads and white potatoes. But do eat often the sea-foods and all foods yellow in color, such as yellow corn meal; carrots cooked and raw; yellow squash. All of these should be a part of the meals. Not flesh, other than fish or fowl. The vegetables - not so much of dried beans or the like, but leafy vegetables are the better for the body. Do these, and we will find better conditions.
