Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. ..., Ky.
1. (?): You are now asleep and you will be able to tell us what we want to know. You have before you Mr. [4336], who is in the room with you. [4336].
2. EC: [4336].
3. (?): Yes, he is before you now, you will see him.
4. EC: Yes we have him here.
5. (?): Alright, now I want you to go over him carefully and examine him thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with him, if anything.
6. EC: [4336].
7. (?): Yes, you will see him.
8. EC: The circulation, the nerve force, the action of the stomach, the pancreas, digestion and the heart action. Now begin here now at the cervical - the first cervical you see, we have begin first here at the exterior, at the skin itself, here in the face, in the body, in the head itself. We find that the nerve supply or the blood in the nerve force supply of the front part of the head, shows, at times, here a sudden rushing of the nerve supply to the head here and produces as it were the pain around the top of the head. Look here, you see, now right around the crown of the head it shows from the nerve force of the supply we have the actions from the facial muscles and in the centers; this is reflex and not from the cause here except from the sudden flush or is thrown out from these troubles, below the - from the cardiac plexus here, same that governs the heart, governs the cardiac end of the stomach here and is thrown out.
9. We have in the first lumbars, of course, the same reflexes, from the same direction where the nerve supply supplies here between the fourth and fifth lumbar, that govern the upper end of the stomach, or through the sympathetics, to the same ones that supply these forces to the head.
10. At the solar plexus nerve centers we have seats of trouble here supplied from the forces below in the lumbar and from the cardiac end of the plexus here in the stomach and produces indigestion or forces here a lack of nutriment or juices to digest the food; we have produced a flush of
4336-1 Page 2
blood to the head and all along the trunk of the body and to the extremities.
11. As we flush we lack the nutriment to carry out this until the lymphatics in the system, eat up the surplus and we have the whole body - nerves - from lack of force to carry the forces to the rest of the nerve power. That is, we have the nerve force carried up and forces the action to the brain and the return forces. It is full of will power in the man you see. The force does not carry it always, produces a tired feeling, at times anyway.
12. Same we have through the lumbars produce the condition we have here throws off through or from the kidney. We have had inflammation, at times to the kidney and some inflammation at the neck of the bladder is thrown out there; not all times but at times. He is not sick; just don't feel good, then he is sick, see. No organic trouble of the system except at the cardiac end of the stomach and through the intestinal tract of the system. No organism of the system in itself effected more than the other, except from the trouble at the cardiac end of the plexus, producing at times, a fluttering of the heart; no organic trouble of the heart.
13. The heart situated here throws out the blood to the whole system through the whole system. Where the blood enters the heart from one ventricle to the other, thrown into the heart, has been cleansed from contact with the carbon or the air in the lungs, enters the heart; we have then the nerve supply overtaxed at the cardiac plexus, comes in contact with the sympathetics of the system; throws out and carries the blood to the head and produces action to go and we have a gush then of blood as it were and produces a dizziness, reflex from the pain around the head we had here at first.
14. (Q) What treatment would you suggest or prescribe to relieve these conditions? (A) You see the condition we have through the lumbars here is from the lack of nutriment or lack of force in the pole here or in the liver to secrete enough of the juices, the throwing off from this, in the lack of the digestion in the system passing into the intestinal tract, without being digested - throwing more of the poisons out into the system. Reflex from the condition we have there, then we have the impact condition through the intestinal tract, from these forces throwing out there; that, in turn, produces the effect from the whole system by the lymphatics taking up too much juices of the system, producing a lack to secrete
4336-1 Page 3
enough to rebuild into itself, themselves - in the capillary circulation of the system.
15. (Q) Any other conditions? (A) Remove these troubles here from this system here. (?): Alright. It will take time. (?): Well. Because we have the organism of the sensory system of the heart action, the blood supply, with the nerve forces to both, act on with the organism of the system, with the digestion.
16. (Q) Now what treatment would you suggest? (A) Lack of the forces to digest produce on the nerve force; the capillary circulation being weal from the force here; increase the circulation throughout - from the heart to the capillaries - will produce a weakness in the heart action itself through the lack of the forces in the indigestion or the forces created by the indigestion, producing temperament of the forces governing. If we force this blood out from it we will produce an overtaxation from the lymphatics to the hepatics here. First, cleanse the system here with water into the stomach; take just as little into the stomach as possible until he can digest what he has in it properly. Then we will tone up the whole system or the whole stomach by a tonic, or nerve force or blood supply to the whole system, which we make of barks, roots or herbs.
17. (Q) What kind? (A) Potash, Iron and Magnesia, have to be used in different quantities as it can be used in the stomach, as we produce this effect on the blood you see. We will give a small quantity of Strychnine, keep this out from the heart; tone up the whole system with the blood supply we have had; keep plenty of fresh air into the whole system or we will have an overstrain in the blood supply, the cleansing of the blood in the system. Relax this condition along the spine there by manipulation or by electrical force. The electrical force will vibrate it better; manipulation will increase the stimulation and electricity with medicinal properties will work better. The electric force electrifies and makes a stimulation proper
4336-1 Page 4
with the stimulation into the nerve force itself; static electricity or vibrate it with a small galvanic.
18. (Q) Any other treatment you would suggest now? (A) Go along as we find, you may find a change from the heart action or nerve force of the body. We may have too much stimulation; change the force of magnesia and iron or change it to sulfur or change back to potash. Keep out from the cardiac end of the stomach and keep as much water in the system as possible; he does not drink enough water, have him drink more. As we find the changes in the system we will have to change the force or quantity of the magnesia, the iron, the potash or may have to change to sulfur, we will have to be governed by the changes in this system, in this body of [4336].
