1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, you see. Now, we find, the abnormal conditions in this body have to do with the lymphatic circulation, and the poor elimination, and with the effects that these produce in the system, do we have to deal with principally.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them, in the system - this body, [4446], we are speaking of:
3. Now, we find, there are the effects of the conditions produced in the body, as well as existing conditions. This we find with the circulation. High blood pressure, at times, becomes in the system overcharged forces. So has the elimination in the organs caring for distribution, both of poisons to be eliminated and rebuilding cellular force here - both overtaxed through these conditions, and the effect of this is now shown in the system, as the condition we find through the liver, the kidneys, and the effect that this produces on the locomotories, and the extremities, and to the lymphatic circulation, in that the blood supply does not give the proper elements to the system to carry off the drosses from the system as it should, see.
4. In the nervous forces in the body, we find, there is very good co-ordination between the nervous systems, though the body has been benefitted by the action, or control, of the physical by the mental within the body itself.
5. There are nerve ends that suffer with the conditions that exist in the system. Those along the lower extremities, across the sacral and ileum plexus, especially, show the effects of this condition.
6. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find, in portions, the body is very good, yet reflexly there are many of them involved. Those of the sensory organism are very good, though they are forced to excess in secreting, at times, this being carried by the lymphatic circulation.
7. The lung forces are good.
8. Those of the digestive tract show the effects of the over-taxed condition, and how that, with the dieting, the body has, with the elemental forces, been assisted, from time to time.

9. The liver is in a state of resistive force toward the circulation in the hepatics.
10. The kidneys, we find, in their excess or over-charged condition, leaves in the system much that should be eliminated through these channels. There is carried back from the hepatic circulation the drosses that should be eliminated, causing to portions of the body the lymphatic over-flow causing about the joints, and in much of the tissue and the ligaments, the enlarging of the glands there, this producing the conditions as are shown in the body.
11. To give the equilibrium to the system to overcome these conditions, and to produce the proper elimination, and to give the normal functioning of the lymphatic force, and not to surcharge those with elemental functioning, we would take those properties in the system that would assist to alleviate the condition as we find in TORIS COMPOUND, as prepared by the makers, and taken in half quantity.
12. We would also apply to the body directly, each evening, from the solar plexus to the portion below the knee, over the end of the cerebrospinal nerve ends, across the lumbars, and down the sciatic centers with ULTRA VIOLET RAY, see, for ten minutes each day.
13. Take the medicinal properties within the system, and the vibration without.
14. Let the diet keep away from those elements that cause over-stimulus to the system through any forces hard to digest, or that give too much nitrates to the system. Do that.
15. (Q) What effect will this have on the speech? (A) Just the increase of the vibration to the whole system, as we have given. The organs are over-secretive and are hindered, and with stimulation to prevent the overtaxing, so that present forces from the lymphatics are carried to normal channels, would overcome these conditions, you see.
16. (Q) Will that make it easier to catch his breath? (A) This has nothing to do with this. We have given these conditions here. All of the portions of the sensory system are involved - the eyes water, the ears drum. All of the lymphatics become involved with the conditions. Do as we have given if we would bring relief to this body here.
17. We are through.
