1. EC: The condition of Mr. [4396] right now, this 8th day of January, 1912, is not just as good as it has been for a few previous days, but the general condition of the body is improved from what we had before.

2. We still have some of the trouble along the spine here, to the celiac plexus, also some to the upper sympathetics, or to the lower end of the sympathetics through the solar plexus; to the nerve forces in its governing to those of abdominal activity. We still have a lack of enough of the secretions in the colon and large intestine itself to carry out that of the dross matter that should be expelled from the system.

3. We have more nausea or sickness to the stomach, produced by over amount of juices eliminated by that of the liver; or over secretion from the system to supply to the digestive tract; over amounts of hydrochloric acid state in the stomach.

4. The same condition is through the pelvis here, and to the larger colon or descending or transverse colon, as we had before. Some of the inflammation is removed by the manipulation along the spine here. We need deeper relaxation of the muscular forces at the upper dorsal and lower lumbars to remove the condition, or produce a perfect unison of the sympathetics to the action of the circulation through the pelvis and intestines; not too much of a stimulation as we have had to the liver, to produce an over taxation of the secretive function. We have eliminating and secreting functions both to the liver, and taxation all over the system in these.

5. We need to keep as near perfect to nature's forces, as applied through that of the dross of the intestinal tract, as possible, not too much of an excitement to the mucus coating or lining to the duodenum and pancreatic juices passed into the intestines in a lactic state, producing too much of the inflammation, a set-back to the trouble, not passed out by natural means. Keep up the manipulation over the body, and have added to the electrical forces to produce more of a sedative to the nerve forces in the system. Rebuild more to the functional organs of the digestive tract

from the diaphragm or from the pancreas down.

6. (Q) Is there any inflammation in the intestines now? (A) Only those that we have from the secreting of matters, refuse matters, in the colon, transverse and descending.

7. (Q) Any inflammation about the bladder? (A) There is some in the secreting from the system, as we have here. We have inflammation to remove that from the pelvis, the bladder. We have an extra amount of force to be eliminated by those of the kidneys. We have these in a state of excited activity, produced by the condition we have through the intestines and through the lack of proper digestion through the intestines.

8. (Q) Has the injury along the 11th and 12th dorsal been improved any? (A) It is better. We have not removed all the lesions, of course, along the 11th and 12th dorsal. That is deeper-seated, along to the celiac plexus, that is, to the 3rd and 4th lumbars, then to the coating we have to those of the solar plexus and those of the celiac, and around to the end of the ascending colon, in the region we have, did have, of the appendix.

9. (Q) Has the circulation been improved? (A) It is better.

10. (Q) How are the kidneys working? (A) In a state of excitement, as we had before.

11. (Q) Is there any other treatment that you would add to this that he has been taking? (A) Keep up what we have, and put more to that of the pelvis and along the spine and to the locomotories here; not too much to the kidneys until we get the stomach in better condition from that of the forces applied to the secondary cardiac and solar plexus by the manipulation and electrical forces applied to these more. The body will have to improve as nature demands an eliminating from the system. We have started a perfect elimination, or more so than we had before. These overtaxed conditions as we have produced from the circulation becoming abnormal in different portions of the body, through that of the conditions in the pelvis and digestive tract both, in the liver, pancreas, duodenum, colon and rest of the system here. If we would keep what we have in the system keep away from those of the chills as we have had from the conditions as we have in the liver, not offending to the blood, but to the richness and fullness of the hepatic circulation to eliminate properly to the liver and kidneys; not to an over-stimulant to those as we had through the liver, and to

a perfect unison of those to act in accordance to the conditions we have through the system. Give the system a deeper manipulation along the lower end of the dorsals 11th and 12th, and upper lumbars, and to those of the pelvis and locomotories.
