1. EC: Now, we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body, though the body is very good throughout. There are some specific conditions that need correction, that the physical may function the more normal, and that the developing of the physical, mental and spiritual may be advanced in this present entity. The physical conditions have to do with specific conditions, and affect directly the eliminations, or that prevention in eliminations that causes distress in tissue and in the functioning of portions in the organs themselves.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [3872], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in many ways. There is some abnormal pressure created by the strain as is exercised in the body in plexuses that govern the supply through the action in the pulmonaries direct. This then creates this pressure caused in the arterial forces. As to the red blood and white blood the division is very good. Coagulation, where hindered portions are not involved, is good.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find these conditions, and in this do we find the seat of the troubles in the body. We find in times back there were conditions in the throat and bronchials where scar tissue, that is not removed by assimilation and elimination in its active forces, leaves a pressure on centers that govern functioning portions in the sensory nerve supply system. This we find affects the functioning of the vocal cords direct at times, and in connection with conditions existing in lower portion of thyroid glands, with the pressure in second cervical, fifth, sixth and seventh cervical, in seventh dorsal and in third lumbar, do we find that there is pressure caused in the cerebrospinal system, and the branches from these vertebras affect the elimination in portions of the system. This we find directly affects the condition as produced in thyroid region in elimination. Hence the collection of dross, as it were, in used forces in the portions. In the nerve
3872-1 Page 2
reactions then, as we find in the cervicals we have this overflow of the used forces. This finds the receptacle in the tissue about the thyroid glands. In the sympathetic system, as this is governed in part by the branches of the pneumogastric nerve center, this affects at times the digestion, though not in the manner as an indigestion, but rather a nerve digestion. That is, there are times when those properties of food that are pleasing to the body become nauseating. In the forces then we find they find the reflection in the action in nerve and blood supply, and relaxing the secondary cardiac plexus forces and producing pressure in blood supply.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good. Not set to the adaption that the mental capacity of the body should be, however.
6. In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, these are very good under the conditions existing, for all through reflex and sympathetic forces have their reflection at times in the functioning of the organs of sensory system.
7. In the lungs, throat and larynx, these are very good, save the scar tissue as given. Lung forces proper good.
8. Heart's action, under the condition, as given, though no organic condition at present. Might become affected under strain and high nerve tension.
9. In the digestive tract the system is in the strain only as given. In the liver, pancreas and organs of digestion we find these only show the nerve pressure, reflexly, in hypogastric and pneumogastric as the effect in the plexus here, you see, in the lower end of stomach, and the effect in the blood supply, in the strain of same through the action of the liver, and the return forces through the heart's action.
10. Lower digestion and rest of the system, these are very good. Through the pelvis organs the functioning of the hepatic circulation produce in the lower branch of hypogastric in kidney, and in the functioning of same at times, some distress, though not directly the cause, for that lies in the supply of the nerve in directing the tissue as carried for renewing and removing used forces.
11. Then to bring the normal forces to this body, remove the strain on those centers where impinionment prevents the action of the nerve proper, and do this through chiropractic or osteopathic forces, applying to the condition in the frontal portion of the thyroids proper those vibrations as would be found in magnetic forces, or that of the vibration of body or hands to the system.
12. We will find with this application each day that this

condition will be removed within six to eight weeks.
13. Do that. We are through.
