1. EC: Yes, we have the body. Now, we find the abnormal conditions for this body, there are some that to other bodies would be abnormal that to this body are normal. But the conditions for this body we find are of a specific nature, but the effect as produced in the system affects some of the organs in their functioning and the circulation with the nerves governing same. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [3995] we are speaking of: In the circulation we find the blood supply above the normal force, yet deficient in some of the elements necessary to make a balanced or normal blood supplying force to the body, both in the red blood and the white, the white being more deficient in its ability to produce the perfect coagulation in the body.
2. In the nerve force we find the brain, the seat of the cerebrospinal nerve energy or of the physical body, is very good. There is at the 6th dorsal a lesion formed, producing an impinionment to the nerve branches between the 5th and 6th segments, that affects the circulation through the lungs and the bronchials. Also the sympathetic nerve forces have become involved through the physical condition, and we have some reflexes over other portions of the body. The plethora condition through the upper portion of lung, the effect to the secondary cardiac plexus has been to increase the pressure in the heart action, hence the fullness to the vein circulation in the return of the blood to the lung force and the lack of pure, full clarification of blood in the lung proper. Reflex is the effect as produced to the liver and the spleen, hence the pains, or disagreeable feeling rather than specific pain, across the brachial plexus region, also reflex and sympathetically through hepatic circulation to the OPPOSITE plexus or across the second lumbar and through the ileum plexus.
3. The organs themselves, we find those of the sensory organism through the action of the sympathetic force, and the inability of the body at all times to control through the mind forces the action of the nerve centers to keep the equilibrium, suffer from this reaction through organs direct.

4. Through the lung we find the condition as produced by an over stimulus of the blood flow through the condition existing along the 5th and 6th dorsal region, reflexly affecting the heart forces and the circulation there.
5. Through the digestive tract we find that the stimulus of the secondary cardiac and reflexes to the pneumogastrics, and this causes an inflow of the blood supply when we have these conditions existing in the specific organs affected, causing too small an amount of the juices as created through the cardiac end, or that of lactics, and the stomach becomes acid, full and creates disorder to the duodenum and pancrean secretions, overloading then the intestinal tract at times.
6. These are none serious conditions, but ones that need to be corrected to prevent the physical forces from breaking down under the strain on the nerve and mental and soul forces of the body, to create within the system the cellular force necessary to combat with the conditions, necessarily means that first the condition along the spinal column of the physical nature must be corrected. That had best be accomplished by local applications of heat and adjustments of the segments themselves, then that in the system that would create the proper incentives to the system to overcome the conditions created both in the blood supply force and the stomach, the intestines themselves - we would therefore adjust the conditions. Then take into the system those incentives that will give the balance of force in the body.
7. To one gallon of grain alcohol in a wood container that was charred, we would add: Oil of Juniper................2 ounces, Rectified Oil of White Pine...2 ounces, Oil of Eucalyptus.............2 ounces, Oil of Benzol [Benzosol]......2 ounces.
8. This would be inhaled into the lungs through the mouth, or the gases from these - not the properties themselves, but this would be heated or be kept where gas would form in the container above the liquid. Then twice each day, this or the gases from this would be inhaled into lungs themselves, giving the incentives to the forces throughout.
9. For the condition in the intestinal tract and stomach forces after the adjustments - best not to take medicinal properties in the system except through the diet of foods as taken. Let those be of cereals and all those properties carrying high cell forming material - [3995], Atlanta, Georgia.
10. (Q) What causes the acute attacks to this body? (A) The condition we have here in the dorsal.
3995-1 Page 3
11. (Q) How can quick relief be given to these acute attacks? (A) By the removal of the lesion that causes the acute attack.
12. (Q) Should this lesion be removed by operation? (A) By heat and adjustments. We have given here how to remove.
13. (Q) By whom should these adjustments be made? (A) One that understands the anatomy of the body and can find these conditions here.
14. (Q) Why are these attacks more regular now than they have been? (A) They are enlarged and the more pressure that is produced in the nerve center and the brain itself, more frequent becomes the attacks to the brain forces and the blood supply, being forced to the lung and the head and throughout the body.
