1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body, Mrs. [4215] of whom we are speaking, have more to do with the nerve systems and the distribution of nerve forces in their effect through the circulation to the upper portion of the body. The nerves with the muscular forces and the distribution of the forces as supplied by the circulation and distribution of used forces not being eliminated from the system. Now, these are the conditions we find in this body.
2. The circulation of the body, for one of its age and condition, is very good, but we have an impaired circulation to certain portions of the body. This has been of a gradual qrowth, that is, there are certain centers that have thickened so that the ganglia through the distribution of the nerve and blood forces has become impaired, so that the circulation to certain organs in the body have become impaired and become defective in their response to the effect as produced by the nerve forces in their action through the sensory system, and it has produced a growth or skim as we have here in the eyes over the retinae itself. That is the cause of the non-action of the organ itself in its action and duty to the rest of the body. This has affected the distribution of forces as used through the sensory organism when distributed through the thyroid glands. These ductless glands absorb from the system through the sensory organisms those things needed to be removed - as used nerve and cellular forces in the body - that is, as we have here. The voice, the hearing, the touch, the sense of sight and the sense of smell are governed by nerve forces that show their effect in their absorption of forces through these glands. First we begin here with the secondary cardiac plexus, then the condition comes reflexly through the 3, 4, and 5 cervicals. The thyroid gland and its action on this portion of the head is also affected. As these forces were not properly distributed they left first in the back of the eye here the thickened forces - the eyes became dull through the effect of this thickened wall about the retinae. Then as this began to grow the forces were not absorbed through any of

the ducts and it has grown more and more as time has gone on, and it has increased faster in latter years than in former.
3. It will only be by persistent care taking, and action both of the spiritual and mental forces with medicinal properties to remove the condition and bring about better normal conditions in the body, but with patience, persistence and correct thought in the body, it can be performed. We would first do this to the body to assist it in being brought to a normal condition. Now, the rest of the conditions are reflex from this and have nothing to do with the conditions she wishes corrected here in the eyes. First, apply to the eye itself what is commonly called the irish potato, old not new, scrape well and apply to the eye, with the eyes closed and bandaged about in the evening. This will relieve or produce [remove?] inflammation. When this is bathed off in the morning there will be a discharge from this that is taking away the abnormal condition. Then we will begin by very, very deep manipulation, or osteopathic treatment, from the seventh cervical to the first cervical- only that portion of the body - just enough to the rest of the body to give proper relaxation and proper distribution throughout the rest of the system. Treat the mind through the mental forces, as is treated through that of the Unity. Relief must come through spiritual and mental as well as physical. You will find that of the Unity is stationed here...Unity Building, Kansas City, Mo. It would be well if she was there.
4. It will be well for her to receive treatment of Unity three or four weeks after receiving this treatment for three weeks, not before or while it is being given, but afterwards. This is the place where prayers [are] wont to be made. We are through.
