1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, 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. Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body. There are physical conditions that may be corrected. There are psychological conditions - may be corrected through the effect of psychological analysis and the changing and correction of same.
3. Now the physical conditions that we find in the body needing correction, especially along those lines as have been accorded the body for correction, lie in the 6th and 7th dorsal and in the 3rd and 4th lumbar, for the lesions in each of these conditions or places are as these: That in the dorsal the lateral lesion. That in the lumbar circular lesion. That in the lumbar causes those distresses of the lung and heart action, with the fullness and gases that disturb the pneumogastric circulation and digestion. That in the lumbar affecting the pelvic organs, and the mesenteric system in the lower portion, especially that of the descending colon, see? and the transverse is reflexly affected from these conditions, so the psychological effect as is produced in system is that of the neuritic forces, as is shown by pressure produced in both lesions on the sympathetic system. Hence at times the condition affects the left side and again the right side of body, or that is, the portions that seem more oppressed by the condition.
4. The prevention of the response to the treatments as have been accorded the system is lack of touching the central portions in lesion, or being able to get the system perfectly relaxed when those corrections and those massages are given in those regions. Hence we would use heavy salt packs just before the treatments are to be given, or even while on table for treatment. Very warm, as warm as is possible for body to stand, see? This relaxation will so

assist in the correction as to enable the operator to "dig in", as it were, deeper in making the corrections, see?
5. Keeping the intestinal tract open, so that those conditions in the pelvic system, from the reflex neurotic forces, are not over, or surcharged. This will prevent also those conditions as arise in the lower end of the descending colon, see? This should be done by the use of the relaxing through manipulation, as well as a lactic fluid of the alkaline nature for system, such as would be found in that of Phosphate of Soda, with the Syrup of Sarsaparilla - half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water before breakfast each morning, with three to five drops of the Syrup of Sarsaparilla added, see?
6. Do this. We will find we will bring the better results and be able to make those adjustments "stay put", as it were, in those places necessary for adjusting in the lumbar and cervical and dorsal, see?
7. We are through for the present.
