1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and spiritual reading on this body, with suggestions for the improvement of any or all of these conditions.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the body a very interesting study in many respects, when taken in the view of physical, mental and spiritual improvement for the body. In this body we would find a thorough exemplification of the truths as found in that of the necessity of the physical being in accord with the mental and spiritual forces of same, for the perfect manifestation of the better elements in each.
3. Now, these are physical conditions as we find them in this body, though all must be considered from the standpoint of the mental attitude towards self, towards surroundings, toward conditions in a secular, in a physical and in a spiritual manner. These though are physical forces:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY FIRST, we find this deficient in red blood and also in the white. That is, we find the rebuilding, replenishing, forces of blood stream deficient. Not to the extent where the body has become wholly anaemic, but the tendency toward such a condition. Hence the retractions in many portions of the functioning organism of this character of condition. Hence the lack of resistance. Though the will often carries the body beyond the capacity of physical endurance, yet the replenishing and re-building and rejuvenating of the body from such strains is often very trying and telling on the condition of the system.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find very much used beyond its normal abilities and capacities. Hence a nervous disposition, in a manner, has been created in the physical forces of body. Nervous headaches are the results often from these conditions. Pains through the back portion of the head. The tendency to have quick perspirations, hot and cold sensations over the body, tingling sensations in the lower part of the limbs, in the arms, quickening and jerking at times of the muscular forces in face and over portions of
4409-1 Page 2
the body. Cold, clammy, sensations over portions of the body. Again with hot flushes, with quick breathing, and the tendency to over activity of many portions of the functioning of the digestive system at such times, a general debilitation in the nerve supplying forces, often many of the plexuses becoming too relaxed in their functions and again very taut, bringing about then the condition of taxing to the whole system.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING THEN OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, as these: Brain forces very good.
7. Functioning of the organs of the sensory system, these show retraction at times; strain as is caused to the eye from nerve, to the ear from nerve, to the speech, and the stuttering or the choking, and inability to speak the things that are thought in the body at times. Lack of perfect coordination throughout, from nerve retractions and nerve debilitation in the system.
8. In the throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx, these are very good in their normal functioning, yet are often under the strain of the nerve condition in system, and of the body, as it were, in general.
9. Spleen shows an engorgement, and the swelling or fullness as appears across the abdomen and across the lower portion of lungs, these are from the reactions, and are rather of a mental condition, for the functioning, as we see, of the spleen in supplying of the red blood forces in the body from blood reaction, is that the body often overtaxes self through mental strain, with body physically below normal.
10. Digestive system shows distresses, as we have had a condition as has existed in the lower portion of the stomach for some time. This rather of a condition of the excess of hydrochloric forces being forced back in the pyloric end of the stomach. Hence the times when we have this breaking out over portions of the body. This excess of the secretions as they are thrown from this are a reflection, as we see, of the condition as exists in this portion of the stomach.
11. Liver below normal in functioning. Excessive in excretory forces. Secretions as for digestion below normal. Excessive in excretory forces. Hence the condition as exists in the digestive system, the tendency for the body to be excessive either in laxativeness through the intestines, or just the opposite, constipation for time. The functioning then of the lower portion of the digestive system shows how these excesses produce these effects in the system, through the changes that often take place, in how digestion acts and react in the system. That is, at one time properties taken in the system digest easily, while

with the next perhaps that these are taken, the same conditions will produce indigestion for the body. Excess then in kidneys, and the pains as produced in bladder at times, is a reflex nerve condition of the body.
12. Then, to bring the normal forces for the body, in that of the physical, we would use those deep vibrations of the electrically driven vibrator, over the whole length of the cerebrospinal system, at each evening, with the hard knob of same. Then over the frontal portion of body, face, neck, arms, across the upper portion of body, especially across the diaphragm, over the liver, down over the pelvic organs, even on either side, that of the sponge with its vibrations, letting these extend to the lower limbs, on the inside, or along the region of the sciatic nerves. Taking (these should be taken each evening, for ten to fifteen minutes - electrically driven vibrator.) these properties: Tincture of Valerian..................4 ounces, Tincture of Stillingia..............1/2 dram, Elixia Calisaya.......................2 ounces, Elixia, or Essence of Celerena......1/2 ounce, Bromide of Potassium.................20 grains, Iodide of Potassium..................15 grains, Syrup of Sarsaparilla.................1 ounce. Sufficient simple syrup or Peptotol to make 10 ounces. This should be shaken well together before each dose would be taken, which would be half a teaspoonful three times each day.
13. Do not eat too much meats. The juices or broths of same, chicken or beef, may be taken. Rather green vegetables, with good deal of fruit and of gruel. No white breads, rather whole wheat, eaten or buckwheat should be eaten as bread.
14. For the mental development of the body, we would give that the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th chapters of John be learned, until the body can make these a portion of the inner self, realizing that the abilities of the entity, and the purpose of each individual, is to manifest their individual conception of the Father that dwells within them, and that even as He, the Master, is in Him, the Father is in the individual who will attempt to manifest same, and that the greater service that is done to the fellow man is the highest service to the Creator. In this the spiritual awakening will come that is necessary in the individual, for in Him we have life, and in life the understanding, and in the understanding, the manner of manifesting same before

men.
15. We are through with this for the present.
