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 the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, in understanding the physical forces that give rise to disturbances with this body, it will be well to understand the psychological effect of pathological conditions with the physical body, especially as to reference with conditions in this body; for, while not so much at present, or recently, as there has been at times in the past, there has existed in the mind of the body that effect of there being two different bodies in reaction at times; that is, at times feels entirely separated from itself, as if the activities from same would be contrary-wise to those at other times and periods. In giving that as will meet the needs of the conditions, as given, it will be necessary to understand the psychological effect of pathological conditions in a physical body; for we find there is in the nerve reactions of the sympathetic system that condition which - reached in certain forms of conditions wherein the eliminations and assimilations being affected by and through certain nerve ganglions - brings about the physical reaction, or a pathological condition which is basically psychological in the effect in the body. The body then being affected, as would be given, by psychological conditions or at times by suggestion, at others by sight, at others by a feeling that would be indescribable to another - yet experienced by the body in such a way and manner as to be purely pathological or physical reaction from purely psychological conditions - see? Pathological meaning, in this sense, that caused by functioning of organs physical in the body. Psychic meaning, or psychological meaning, that of the mental or mind reaction. Not that the physical reaction is any the less severe; not that they are purely mental in their effect

created (Now get the difference between AFFECT and EFFECT in this sense, for they mean entirely different conditions when associated with pathological and psychological conditions in a physical body!). These, as given, have to do with the effects created through assimilation and elimination, yet affect the organs of the body in ganglions that have to do both with the gland and the nerve system. Hence the changes IN the effect as is created (EFFECT now!) in the system. The AFFECTATION coming both through the organs' functioning and the organs acted UPON by the nerves from those so acted upon. As is seen in the case of the nervous indigestion created at times. At others the abnormal effect of appetites on the system, as the desires to do or to be or to commit those things that physically are known to disagree with same - see? These, then, are conditions to be met.
4. To meet these in the present conditions, we find there needs be added those vibrations to the system that will bring about the proper coordination between the cerebrospinal, the sympathetic, AND the glands as bring about the NOMINAL equalization of that assimilated by the body. Not hindering nor overtaxing in this bringing about of the equalization in eliminations, but keeping them - as it were - ABOVE the normal.
5. To meet these would require, then, as we find, these applications for the body:
6. That of the Radio-Active Appliance (manufactured by Thomas B. Brown, 139 West 2nd Street, Dayton, Ohio), using the Chloride of Gold in the battery formation that is added to or connected to the umbilicus, alternating that of the positive anode from wrist to ankle - see? Do that.
7. At the same time this appliance is being used (and it should be used at least an hour each evening when the body is ready to retire), the vibrations of manipulations, every other day, should be so given that the assimilating and eliminating system (that is, through the plexus of the secondary and direct cardiac, and those of the 2nd and 4th lumbar and sacral) would be stimulated to their nominal reaction for the body as created by the changed vibrations.
8. As to diet, the body keeps that NOMINALLY in mind. Activity towards same must be kept in unison with that known for the body.
9. Do that. When this has been taken for sixty to ninety days, then we would give any changes necessary to bring more normal forces for the body. But remember, the body must keep a nominal condition between pathological effects an psychological affectation in mind in making the applications for the physical conditions of the body. Psychically the

body is above normal; mentally is highly developed, and may apply same in directions that would bring much good to many.
10. We are through for the present.
