1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. The abnormal conditions in this body are caused from specific conditions that exist in the physical makeup of the individual, and the effects as the time and the strain on the system, over other portions of the body, the effect both to the mental and physical, in the body.
2. EC: Now, these are conditions as we find in this body. The physical, as far as the physique of the individual is concerned, is very good. The blood supply through the system is of such a nature, and carries that bacilli which effects through the ilium plexus centers, the stomach, the cerebrospinal nerves, to such an extent as to cause the inrush of the circulation as is governed by the nervous centers from the secondary cardiac plexus at the sixth dorsal, though the seat of the trouble is in the lumbar region. This causes, however, the condition as arises in the body, and the effect as it is connected, as down the cerebrospinal, and the sympathetic, which affects the coordination of these nerves as they enter the brain thereby produces, not only spasmodic conditions that arise, but prevent the system, through its natural channels, of alleviating the upper portions of the brain with the refuse, or used, forces, as the action or the energy of the system are expended, or used. This, then by its control, becoming up in the system, has so tempered the activity of the mental forces of this body.
3. Through the nerves we find much of this same condition, as we have given, also we will find the functioning of the organs themselves are very good. The mental forces do not cooperate sufficiently with the cerebrospinal for the body to control the better self, save through the acts, or powers, of other forces, at times, you see. This not always, but often.
4. To give the relief to this body, necessary to have the equilibrium established between the cerebrospinal and the other nerve forces in the system, the effect must be more to the blood supply direct and the general effect to the system to assist the body to control the elements in the system necessary to be able to overcome these conditions in this

individual.
5. We would take, or inject, very small quantities of red mercury in the lower lumbar region. This should be given under the direction of one that has given it. Do this. This would be given hypodermically. We would take into the system the Tincture of maypop, or mayapple; take the dose as is prescribed on the manufacturer's label. When the body suffers from one of these attacks, to make it easier for the individual, apply a very cold cloth to the base of the brain, or to the first, second, third cervical. Do this. We would find we would bring some relief to this body here, [3891], ..., Alabama.
