1. LBC: You have before you Mrs. [3944] of ..., Ohio. She is before you now. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.
2. EC: You see, this body has suffered from an infection. This re-infection has produced the condition that we have in this body. Also, many complex conditions in the system of the physical body. This re-infected condition first produced the trouble that we have in the body. This effected the pelvis and intestines. That, along with the functional condition, produced a change in the circulation and the blood, which has produced, as a result, an exaggerated condition of other organs in the body. As we have the condition now, the circulation as well as the nervous system of this body, is effected.
3. We had first functional troubles here, and we have had the infection in the pelvis, producing this over-taxed condition of the intestinal tract or in fact, the whole system in an effort to eliminate from the system, this infected waste. This, in turn, called on more of the leucocytes than nature had provided in this system, to eliminate or throw out the poisons through the circulation. In that way, the poison can be gotten out of the system. These poisons in the system, infect the blood, and they are carried through the different parts of the body, showing themselves in the pulmonary system, or the lungs. That is, in the cells here in the lower part. Also through the excreting properties, you see, the faculty of the liver in itself is somewhat inhibited. A condition brought about by the action on this organ. Then the treatment of the condition of this body has produced an over-taxed condition of the body, until we have an over-taxed nerve supply in the body, which does not carry the circulation increased through the temperature, produced by this infection, until we produce, at times, a relapse to the body, through the nervous condition, especially through the sympathetics.
4. We find other conditions also, of a reflex character, from these that exist in this body, but these conditions are produced or are reflexed from this intestinal and pelvic

trouble. Remove these from the system, and we will have a better condition of this body.
5. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to remove these conditions? (A) Remove the conditions that produce it here, first. Either by an operation on these parts, removing these conditions, or the condition, that produced these cells - these overstimulated cells, until we have thrown out this condition that exists in this body at present. Or, by stimulation and building up this system, so that the system may eliminate the poisons through the circulation and the dross.
6. (Q) What kind of stimulation would that be? (A) First, a reduction locally of the condition existing through the pelvis. A stimulation to the gastric secretions in the stomach. Also to stimulate the properties in the intestines to secrete and excrete from the system these poisons from the lower intestine. This will help eliminate inflammation from the system. After these are eliminated by local measures, applications, either hot or cold water, or both. Water, or something to hold the heat and moisture in this body, which will help to eliminate the poison from this system. Electrical force applied with the same result, can be used here. Then all of these properties in the body, which assist to take from it - potash and soda, will help to eliminate to some degree from this system. She also needs something to absorb and eliminate the poisons from the circulations in itself, as the circulation has been carrying these properties to the different parts of the body. Hence, the circulation must be stimulated. If we do not get enough stimulation by local applications, electrical force locally, and also manipulation with the hands over the whole body will assist nature in eliminating from the system that which is not needed there.
7. (Q) Any other treatment? (A) Nothing except to produce a better quality of blood, and this will help in eliminating the poison from the body. She needs a stimulation or something that will create or enliven the circulation, and increase the white blood corpuscles, and this will help to remove this inflammation from the body.
8. (Q) Would it be necessary for an operation? (A) If this condition is not removed by the excretory organs, through this infection in the body, which has produced this condition, this state of infection, that has been carried through the circulation, and produced this condition in the system. It is being eliminated from the system, or absorbed through the system, and carried out

through those parts that eliminate the dross or excess matter. If this is not eliminated properly, and they form themselves or produce conditions in the organs of this body, first one is effected and then the other. Then, it produces a condition that will have to be removed by the knife.
These can be eliminated through the system by a careful treating of the system locally, which will produce a relaxation of these parts, by stimulating the circulation and the entire body, which will help to eliminate through absorption, these particles.
