1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer the questions regarding the physical condition of this body that I might ask you.
2. EC: Now we find, the general physical conditions for this body very good throughout. There are some conditions that the body should be warned of, for the best physical, mental and spiritual development of the body.
3. Now, these conditions have to do with those as affect the eliminations in specific portions of the body, where congestion in times back has caused the predisposition at the present time, as it were, of functioning of certain portions of the body.
4. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find at present very good in every respect, though there are conditions in portions of the body wherein coagulation does not take place in its normal manner. This is produced by the condition existent in the member itself rather than of the condition in blood supply.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find very good, save in those plexuses as govern the eliminations in the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexuses, in their junction in the lower portion of stomach and and in the portion of the diaphragm where these junctions are made. This affects, then, directly the functioning of the lacteal glands and the portion of the system tends toward the disposition of being or producing toxins in the system, through the condition produced in intestinal tract through the lack of secretions produced in this portion of body. In the plexuses, then, we find the disturbance is to solar plexus branches, especially those extending to the lower portion of the liver. Hence the depressions and the tendency towards that at times of a

sympathetic indigestion as is produced in the body. Hence the care, attention, the body should show, especially, to the diet of the body.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, in the brain forces, these are very good. These show the discretion that the body often takes for self, yet the tendency to at times disregard the conditions as are best for the physical forces of body.
8. Sympathetic and the sensory system very good, though deflections in the sympathetic plexus at times gives distress to the upper portion of body, especially the throat. Hence at times tendency for contraction of cold that produces the irritation in the nasal and the eye forces.
9. In lungs, bronchials, larynx, good.
10. In heart's action normal.
11. The digestion and the stomach proper shows in the ilium portion that condition as is given of the congestion having been in system, causing the disposition or tendency towards conditions.
12. The liver, spleen and pancreas function fairly normal. The excretory system, or the emunctories, show over taxation when ever stimulation occurs.
13. In the lower intestinal tract, these form the region of most absorption of toxins.
14. In the lower portion in extremities, in the right portion, we find those abrasions, where the coagulation does not take place normally. These, we find, need the local application of other properties, such as would be found in the equal parts of butterfat with Plantain Root and stem. This, as we find, cooked together to the consistency of an oil, will heal these properties that are distressing here, and bring the normal condition for this portion.
15. For the other conditions, only needs care of the conditions as they arise, and rather that of the observance of the diet for the body, taking those manipulations that would give the relaxation of those congested portions as form, and of the properties to produce the normal eliminations for the body. Do that.
16. (Q) Is there any involvement of the bone or periostrum? (A) This, as we see, rather the skin or covering of bone. Hence necessity of the application of properties that strike in, see?
17. (Q) What is the present condition of the ears? (A) These, as we find, are very good. Only that extra flow as is shown in the reflection in the sympathetic and sensory system.

18. (Q) What is the present condition of the organs in right iliac region? (A) These are shown in that as given, the disposition towards that of the non-functioning, on account of free disposition through the congestion.
19. (Q) What should the diet be? (A) We have given the body has discretion. Use that as of self, abiding by those conditions as is known best for the system to bring the normal eliminations for body. Do that.
