Time of Reading 4:15 to 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3917]; and those conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body.

2. As we find, there are specific conditions and contributory conditions. While these conditions do not at all times deter or prevent the body from activity, the body is at most times under distress; and, as we find, these may be corrected in a manner as to give a great deal better functioning and make for the more near normal physical conditions.

3. These are in part (and the greater cause of distress) from conditions which exist in the organs of the pelvis. Irritations there produce and cause the strains on the digestive system in such a manner as to prevent the normal eliminations from the body, both as to those activities through alimentary canal as well as the disturbance to the kidneys and the bladder. These make for specific conditions, yet their effects in the system bring those disorders in the extremities, pains across the small portion of the back; especially disturbance in the knee and lower limbs, disturbance in the digestive system and as to the digesting of the food; nausea, headaches at times, languidness at times and insomnia at others, reflexly producing disturbance with the upper portion of the body also.

4. Naturally, these conditions affect the blood supply in the manner or character of those forces that are carried in same, both as to the absorptions for reconstructive forces (or the resuscitating forces of body) and as to the cleansing of the system. These conditions, as we find, make for those tendencies in the functioning organs to be disturbed; yet are not organic conditions, save as those irritations from adhesions or lesions - as from old

conditions that existed there from times back, and the changes naturally coming about in the physical forces of the body. The heaviness in the whole of the abdominal tract, the filling up at times of the colon, the inactivity of the system as to the eliminations, all arise from these reflex conditions and the activities that come from these to various portions of the system.

5. In meeting the needs of the conditions, as we would find, these will necessarily require that there be created such conditions in the system as to make for corrective forces, as well as those to increase the eliminations of the system - both as related to the hepatic circulation and the alimentary canal; a purifying of the blood stream and a quickening of the vibrations in the system to such an extent as to renew the energies and resistances in the system.

6. These may be taken in a manner as to cause loss of time and be quicker in their activity, or they may be taken in the general RUN of conditions and GRADUALLY - but requiring a longer period - rebuild to a much nearer normal condition of the system.

7. First (for the latter manner), we would have the deep manipulations given with the electrically driven vibrator each evening, over the lumbar and sacral, as to make for a rejuvenating of the EXTERIOR portions of the system, in such a manner as to increase the circulation. At the same time these portions are treated, we would go over the whole general cerebrospinal system, see?

8. We would also take douches that will make for the clarifying of the organs themselves, in such a way and manner as to prevent recurrent irritation; using a weak solution of Lysol, or the like, that will make for the re-invigorating of the activities of the system itself - see? These we would take about ounce each week. The proportions would be those given for the vaginal douches, see?

9. Each evening we would also take the electrical vibrations that may be had from the violet ray; not as applied to exterior portions of the body, but that anode that is held in the hand - for five to ten minutes - that RECHARGES the whole of the vibrations of the system.

10. Be mindful that the diet is rather of the foods that will make for the more alkalinity than acidity in the system; those that tend to make for better eliminations throughout the whole system, that the blood supply may be renewed in the system.

11. For those portions of the limbs where pain of the severe nature comes at times, and to the feet, we would make a

preparation in this manner:

12. To 1 quart of straight gasoline, we would add: Camphor Gum..............1/4 dram, Oil of Cedar.............1/4 ounce, Oil of Mustard...........1/4 ounce. Shake this together and massage gently over those portions that cause distress, once each day just before retiring.

13. Keeping these in this way and manner, we should bring the near normal conditions for this body, [3917].

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) Have I cancer anywhere in my body? (A) We do not find same; rather adhesions in the pelvic organs, produced from those conditions existent from the birth of the last child. Adhesions.

16. (Q) Should the violet ray be given following the vibrator treatment? (A) That's what has been given! This isn't the violet ray, but it's using the violet ray and the anode where the charge is given the body.

17. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File
