1. EC: Yes, we have him here. We have in this case, beginning here at the head a peculiar condition along the spine, beginning at the first cervical and extending downward, which affects the blood supply and also the nerve force to the head, the facial muscles, the neck and shoulders, until we have a condition that effects both the solar plexuses and the secondary or inferior cardiac plexus and also the upper cardiac plexus somewhat. We have lesions here along this spine, floating lesions which has effected the nerve supply or nerve stimulation to the internal viscera. Now we find you see, local stationary lesions, but they seem to come and go, this is particularly noticeable here at the eighth dorsal where it effects the solar plexus. We have a gathering of the forces here or an over supply of nerve energy which seems to center itself at this point. As a result of which we have a lack of stimulation in the digestive tract, that is the nerve force is impeded. The action of the spleen is also sluggish. We also have these lesions up here in the cervical region which produce at times these spasmodic pains that pass through the head and face and also radiates down the spine. These come from the lack of equilibrium of nerve and blood supply at these centers. As a result of these lesions along the spine we have a lack of nerve force. First we had pain in the side down here, these forces first exerted themselves here and the condition has remained and accumulated so long until nature is unable to throw it off, as a result of natures effort to over come the toxic conditions in this system we have produced over stimulation to the heart and in fact to the entire nervous system of the body, in other words the nerve force has produced the very condition that it should have carried away, which has left the body in its present existing condition. The cerebrospinal system is probably more affected than the sympathetic, but we also find that the blood has been impoverished as a result of poor or mis-proper mastication of the food. The extra energies in this body has been thrown off rather than stored up in the system, as a result of this we have a lack of force to carry

on the different organic functions, whereby the nervous system in itself has suffered.
2. Treatment: We should first remove these conditions along the spine, these lesions in the cervical region and also at the eighth dorsal. We will work on both the blood supply and the nerve tissue. This will force the supply of energy that has generated in the intestinal tract back into the tissues, provided the mental condition is in proper state, otherwise it will not, and through suggestion to this mind to act on these forces here in the proper manner will bring about good results. We want suggestion, strong suggestion to the subconscious mind of this body, so that the blood and nerve supply can be directed properly. We have a part of this body in which the condition is good. These lesions or misdirected nerve force has produced these conditions, as we well know that misdirected nerve energy brings about such conditions. This man, Mr. [3848] that we are talking about here has an impoverished condition of his blood so to speak. We have a lack of leucocytes in his blood. We must produce more and thereby aid the body from interference from the outside by any organic micro organism that may invade it. This over taxation of the entire nerve tissue must be regulated and instead of over taxing it further we must stimulate both the nerve and blood supply which will enrich the blood itself. As a result we will have better blood more red corpuscles and also an equalizing of the whites in this system by equalizing the circulation, a mild medicinal treatment into the stomach, this can be brought about.
3. We will take first phosphate of soda, alternate it say every other day with bicarbonate of soda. This will produce an alkaline condition. Follow this with mild doses of strychnine, not enough strychnine to produce an over stimulation, but just enough to mildly stimulate the digestive functions and also the nerve force. Now we will have to relax these conditions along the spine by osteopathic manipulation with the hands, and also electrical treatment. The manipulation with the hands is to relax the muscles and the electricity is to equalize the nerve stimulation which will allow both the blood and nerve supply to be equalized, in other words to allow it to supply the entire body properly. We will fist have to reduce these lesions in the spine that are existing here as these lesions are affecting the blood supply and also the nerve force to the head of [3848], that is the cortex of the brain here.
4. As these conditions are removed and as the blood supply is rebuilded the whole system will be helped. Also by stimulating the splenic action the nerve force and blood

supply will rebuild in itself renewed energy. This will take it all away.
