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 give the cause of the existing conditions and also the treatment for the cure and relief of the body.
2. EC: Now we find there are abnormal conditions in and for this body. There are many things from a secular way, and material way, that have to do with the existing conditions, the way of numbers, the location, the relation to the numbers, and the place where the body lives. Many of these have their psychological effect upon the individual entity.
3. In the physical, we find these have to do with the functioning of organs as deflected by the conditions that have existed in the body in times back, with psychological effects as created in the system and have their bearings on the present physical conditions. Much of this, as we find, has had to do with the temperament and with the conditions as created in the mental forces through the mind's activity over its physical self.
4. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4149], we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in times back we find there was that bacilli in the body that acted directly upon the lymphatic and white blood supply in the body, and with the excess of those leucocytes in the system to meet the needs of the body at the time the body became unbalanced in coordination through blood supply. The deflection as is shown, and as was shown at the time, created about the cells in the lacteal ducts and glands that condition that prevented, and does prevent, the body from supplying the rebuilding tissue properly in the system; that is, the plasmatic cellular force necessary to keep all the functioning of the creative element in the lymphatic centers over the whole body. Hence the body has with its mental activity psychological effects in body gradually created that condition with the physical forces that prevents the locomotion properly over the whole body.

Hence the incoordination has extended to the extremities of the body, especially one side. This we see partially a blood condition created by an excess in the system of elements to meet the needs, and with the other conditions brought about the physical condition as at the present time.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, we find many of these centers in cerebrospinal and in sympathetic system have become taxed with this condition. We have those centers in and near the brachial plexus center; that is, in the 2nd and 3rd and 1st dorsal, in the lower sacral and lower lumbar regions, have become in such a condition through the creating of the walls about these centers that give the incentive for movement in the body that condition that prevents the sympathetic coordinating with the cerebrospinal centers. In this reaction then in body we find the lack of the coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve system; that is, there are conditions that at times where involuntary nerve reaction should take place it only takes place under the careful supervision of the voluntary muscular and nerve contraction. Again those of the voluntary become involuntary in their reaction.
7. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, in cerebrospinal center, or base in brain, we find there also created in and near the pineal gland that incentive as gives this pressure that produces the incoordination in nerve system. The mind reacts by slow progress.
8. In the organs of the sensory system these respond much under the supervision of voluntary rather than involuntary reaction, while the organs of the body, apparently, function near normal throughout in and under the conditions as exist in body from the condition in the whole mental and physical forces of the body.
9. Then to bring the normal reaction of this body, this may be reached through either or all of these manners:
10. By the manipulation of the centers between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nerve system, when the body is subjugated to the subliminal state and gain their reaction through such suggestions as would be given under such conditions, or by the nerve operation removing those conditions that bring the reaction and so connect nerve tissue that the cerebrospinal would produce the coordinating elements in the whole system, or by applying the conditions in manipulation with heat and with the correct adjustments, chiropractically or osteopathically, and subjugating the mind through such treatments in and by coordinating with the operator at such times. The first or
4149-1 Page 3
the last we would suggest as being the better means, for there must be awakened in the mental and in the physical that desire for the body to again function in a normal and purposeful way. There must be awakened the purpose in the entity's individual forces to bring the proper coordination in the body.
11. In applying heat to the body in the proper manner, would be to relax the body thoroughly by heat applied to the whole cerebrospinal system. Then in that relaxed condition give the suggestion and the treatment in the normal way, awakening in and through the mind and mental elements the necessity of the body being able to meet the resistance necessary to bring normal forces to the body.
12. Do that.
