1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body here - [3839] - have to do with the nervous system in the action of the function of the organs in the trunk portions of the body and their relations to the nervous system, the organic condition being effected by the nervous forces in the body.
2. Now these are the conditions as we find in this body - in the blood supplying forces we find the blood itself in the number of rebuilding plasmatic cells within the Hemoglobin, the quality is not so deficient as the quantity of rebuilding cellular forces, the action of the arch forces and the circulation being governed at times that we have trouble here with the circulation about the nerve forces rather than an organic condition produced except by the nerve forces. In the nervous system itself we find in the lower dorsal an impingement of the lower dorsal centers to such an extent that the ganglions of the lower lumbar and some portions of those is fed about the end of the solar plexus in the nervous centers to be impaired to such an extent as to hinder them in the action of the kidneys themselves; where they are from the kidneys, pain that was produced across the portions of the spine is produced from the nervous condition and not from the action in the nervous reflex organs themselves to those, and those in impingement which has been produced by congestion so that there has been lessened portions along these forces of the body, and we will find at times, not all the time, in the 11th and 12th dorsal it is very tender in the upper portion given to the outside; then at times when the reflexes are against these, there is much pain in the lateral portions along the lower end of the ribs or across the spleen and the lower end of the liver, the action of this being produced by the action of the nervous forces across those, then the body becomes as it were, achy, then it gets on the nerves, it will reflex then from one through the sympathetics at the 9th dorsal and a reaction then in the brain - then we have pains in the head, headache, dull feeling in the head, and an aching dullness over the whole body. There is not much rest here in these portions of the body.

3. The reflexes from the action shown to the organs themselves is produced in the nerves through the pelvic reactive forces over the activities, at times, to the kidneys just a little of the secretions, but often times, becomes very painful so that it effects the organs of the kidneys; there is pain through the bladder here to the extent along the upper and across the whole end of this part of the body; no organic condition, but from the condition along the nervous and here in the lower dorsal. The reflex condition has effected the secondary cardiac plexus in the 5th and 6th dorsal, those that are in action to the heart forces, and begins from taking things into the system to allay this pain in the reflex conditions to those portions of the body across the duodenum and across the end of the stomach; the pneumogastric reflexes at times takes up this pain so that food that is acted in the stomach fills easily.
4. Pains are produced throughout the duodenum in the upper portion of the digestive tract, that is through the small intestines, begins as it were to fill with gas which is thrown off from the action of the nerve forces which produced much of the forces in the system to carry off enough of the lymphatic portions from feeding properly through the digestive tract as is shown in the forces of the Hypochondrium portions rather than in the lateral portions; then when such forces of this character is given to the system produces lateral portions, these are carried off by the reflexes through the lower end portions of the intestinal tract of those reeffected by the trouble with not sufficient nutriment to carry on through the colon all of the feces out of these portions of the body that are produced in the nerve forces.
5. The action of the cerebrospinal throughout the system in accord with the sympathetic nervous system in the body is well balanced mentally. The spiritual forces within the body carry well with the physical forces in the action of the sensory nerve forces over about those impaired only to the extent of the reflexes of the sympathetic reflex forces with the condition existing in the lower part of the body, hence, the condition we have in the eyes - a dryness in the throat, heavy swallowing at times. These are occasions appears to show the action between the sympathetic cerebrospinal and the sensory nervous system of the body in that condition, the organs themselves functioning the nerves with the condition existing in the body; no organic condition, save those that are reproduced temporarily at times, within the body here, effects them, as just in the portions over the duodenum the pancrean juices are not

thrown off properly in the secretions of the liver, and some of these have been acted on and used to assist the portions to bring itself to a balance from within. We will only treat the condition and not the seat of the trouble.
6. This body can be brought to its normal condition by just giving the body these things which would produce and equilibrium throughout the nervous forces in the body, giving proper nutritives to the nervous portions and by relief of the condition existing along the upper dorsal and relief of the nerve supplying forces in the lower duodenum and upper lumbar.
7. This we would give into the system: Tincture Valerian..............1 ounce, Bromide Potassium............1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya................2 ounces, Simple Syrup...................4 ounces. Dose would be a teaspoonful four times a day. It will be necessary to take four doses of this medicine. Opposite to this or every other day we would give this: Cascara Sagrada................1 grain, Rhubarb........................1 grain, Dover's Powders................2 grains, Podophyllin....................1 grain. One dose you see.
8. After this has been taken - medicine proper - prepare the system for adjustment the condition through the lumbar dorsal, through Chiropractic treatment.
9. This we will find will bring the body, [3839] to its normal function.
10. We are through.
