1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will give the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body and they have to do with physical conditions as exercised in the body through conditions that are both of a mental and of a physical nature, producing this condition then that is somewhat hidden in the body.
3. The condition in the physical has to do with repression in functioning organs in body and the effect this has on the physical reactions, as is shown in the system.
4. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4520], we are speaking of. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in quantity, while the quality at times is abnormal. Slow in its action and producing a full heart's flow, and the organ itself engorged by this condition. Hence the times the body has, with seemingly no reaction, no response to awakening the conditions in the body to do or to react against the condition in physical or mental, for we produce a dull, sluggish, circulation through all of the torso and the lymphatics in extremities, giving trouble, a reflex action entirely in circulation, produced, as we will see, by a nerve condition in the body. In the elements the blood in this condition gives the rise at times to conditions in capillaries that are not good, poor eliminations through these channels, overcharged at times in lymphatic centers.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find in the lower lumbar plexus, 4th lumbar, the series of conditions bringing about the greater portion of the trouble in this body, for with the repressions as produced through the lower portion the reaction to all brain centers becomes dulled and laggard. While the condition has not reached the stage that we have entirely hallucinations for the body, there are times it

approaches near to same, produced by this repressed circulation in brain and the full in trunk portion of body through these nerve pressures in the system. This also shows in the secondary cardiac plexus; that is, in 5th and 4th dorsal center, also a repression in sympathetic and cerebrospinal in 1st cervical. Hence the condition in sensory system and in the flow of blood to head, the condition that brings about the physical reactions in body.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, this we find has little to do with conditions in body, save as the reflexes from conditions in the lower lumbar have over the system through reflexes. All then coming at various conditions and times in and under the subjugation of this nerve condition. We have conditions from kidneys, from hepatics, from liver, from the digestive tract, all come under these various stages of repressed nerve action and of the physical forces as exercised through this repression.
8. In the mental forces this being through the creative energies of the system brings these depressions. Again the exhilaration in the whole body.
9. Then to bring the normal condition to this body would be through deep manipulation in the sacral and in the lumbar regions, removing this repression, stimulating all of the excretory system through this manipulation, giving in the body at the time that which will bring this reaction in the system to supply the needs of the body; taking these properties: To 10 ounces of distilled water, add: Chloride of Gold...............10 grains, with Bicarbonate of Soda............20 grains.
10. Shake well together. The dose would be 5 drops in half a glass of water each evening, before retiring. Well that half teaspoonful Bi-Sodal be taken as an intestinal antiseptic each morning when the body is in the first stages of reacting with medicinal properties and manipulations.
11. Do that. We will bring the best to this body, for we must get the reaction through mental and through physical forces if we would bring the retraction necessary to bring the body back to normal.
12. Do that.
13. (Q) How often should the manipulations be given? (A) At first they should be given each day for at least 10 days. Very deep in the lumbar and upper dorsal region. The glands in the sacral, pelvis and false pelvis must be corrected in their action in system, so that the mental

forces with body will act with the system.
14. (Q) What is the cause of the body not being able to walk? (A) For with this repression in the system, in the glands, in the pelvis, and in the sacral, those of the locomotion and sciatic are involved with the conditions, so the body has to bring for locomotion the sensory system's reaction; that is, has to take thought instead of being voluntary forces in body for locomotion. The correction with this condition, you see, will bring about the reaction necessary in body. The Gold for the rebuilding in gland and in the system, the Bi-Sodal, the antiseptic, necessary to bring eliminations, that the stimulation through manipulation throws off in the excretory system.
