1. EC: Now the abnormal conditions in this body, Mrs. [3716] we are speaking of, are produced by a specific condition that has existed in the body from times back and the gradual development has brought about the abnormal condition. Now these are the conditions as we find in this system, the circulation first; we find the blood flow normal in its rebuilding quality except the lucosite [leucocytes] are more numerous than should be in a normal body and have something to do with the condition that exists in the system. There is some temperature at times produced from this condition. It comes, that is the temperature, from the condition existing in the lumbars with its reflex to the hepatics producing the over-stimulation to certain portions of the circulation or causing temperature. The action of the forces as produced throughout the system, when this occurs, causes the condition existing between the nerve forces and the blood supplying centers in the nervous system. We find there the specific condition producing the abnormal condition in this body here, Mrs. [3716] we are speaking of. At the fourth lumbar ganglion there has been a leison [lesion] formed from the conditions existing in the body from lacerations produced at the time gestation was formed in the pelvis, this gradual growing about this ganglion produced such congestion in the subro-spinal [cerebrospinal] nervous system as to cause, first, a form of ataxia through the locomotory nerves, then sympathetically taken up through the sacrum nerve centers producing partial paralysis to the muscular forces that are governed by these nerves throughout the system. The rest of the organisms or functioning of the organs, we find are worked through the natural and physical means to eliminate, producing an overtaxed condition through the action of the kidneys and of the liver. These are the eliminating actions of these organs, hence, producing part of the temperature in the system as was given before. The heart action is through sympathetic forces. This effect is from the fourth lumbar. The digestive tract reflects sympathetically through the liver and kidneys in attempting to eliminate these conditions in the channels of the amuntory [emunctory]

forces. To assist this body is to be relieved of this condition, we would not give medicinal properties into the system save at times to relieve pain and at others to assist the amuntories [emunctories] and lymphatics to relieve forces or causes more extraordinary functioning of the amuntory [emunctory] organs in the liver and kidneys, or give only medicinal properties that will cause functioning of both liver and kidneys.
2. We would produce heat through the lumbar regions or organs by application through steam or vapor baths. This should be taken every third day and relax by osteopathic forces on the forces along the sacrum and along the whole regions of the lumbar and to the ninth and tenth dorsal, stimulating the solar plexus ganglion to produce normal relief to these portions of the body. In this way we would eliminate, with the medicinal properties, the waste matter or used forces of the body.
3. (Q) Should this body have a special diet? (A) No, only what the system calls for. The body will handle anything in the system, that the mind calls for. This is not a dietetical condition.
