1. LBC: You have before you [4524], ..., Mo. Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with him.
2. EC: You see, the trouble we have with the body - the abnormal condition in the system of the body, is through that of the condition of the stomach, and of the nerve and blood supplies to the upper end, or upper orifice of the stomach, through the supplies to these from the 5th and 6th dorsal. The nerve nutriments which govern the muscular force, the contraction of which has produced a lack of blood force supplying to these, has produced a tautness to the muscular walls of the upper left hand end of the stomach.
3. At the time of action of the gastric juices in the stomach, or taking in food here through the epiglottis, the action of the gastric juices produces a contraction of the walls of the stomach, themselves. The action of the walls of the stomach, themselves, produces an action of this blood supply or its blood supply being used at the time of its action, calls in force the use of the muscular forces in the stomach. The blood supply being cut off from this part, - this cake as we have in the upper end - producing an overtaxed condition, and calls more blood to these forces, or these tributaries to these, supplying blood force at the 5th and 6th dorsal - a rush of blood to these parts to supply the call, or the want, producing an equilibrium of the flow and elimination of the blood, instead of being carried to those of the packed condition, is thrown to the head. We have a congestion then of all the muscular walls of the blood and muscular force supplied to the brain, the neck and upper portion of the body. Then we have the condition of the spasmodic reversed to the stomach itself, or the diaphragm above, producing then to the system what we term, or is termed here from the outside - a spasm or convulsion.
4. The walls of the stomach, of course, being produced in this condition, produced a sympathetic condition of the same nature through the rest of the system, as through the digestive tract. Hence the lack of confidence in self here in the body, the loss of self will, self control, depression

of mind and body.
5. (Q) Any other conditions? (A) Only through the sympathetic conditions of this.
6. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve these conditions and bring him to a normal condition? (A) Relaxation of these muscular forces and retarding of the supply forces of the blood to the head. We have along these forces, you see, from the cardiac ganglia, in supplying the blood to the stomach and intestinal tracts, branches leading out along the spine itself, in the cervicals, dorsals, and vertebrae proper. We have along the spine here at the 5th and 6th dorsals of the spine to the upper end of the stomach, this condition - we have the overflush or overflow of the supply, this condition existing, which floods or flows out the blood to the head, and produces the spasmodic condition in the system. Relaxation of these or retarding of this force, as it were, a relaxing of the condition of the walls of the stomach by manipulation of the spine here, or heat passed into this through that of the palm of the hand here, as we have through that of magno healing. Or through that of low electrical force-reversed battery. That into the stomach here of sodium, which acts as a restrainer to the force here - bromide. Tends to relax the action of the walls at the time of action of the gastric juices in the stomach.
7. (Q) Any other treatment? (A) Salt in the mouth when he goes to bed, as a restrainer to the blood. Open air and as much oxygen as possible. Keep the body in motion as much as possible, without producing excessive heat. Not enough to tire the muscles, or produce contraction, but enough the relax the whole system. Part of this, will get through exercise given through that of the magnetic healing. Relaxation of the muscles of the spine will be along with that of the hands, as is used in the force. The body will improve. The condition should be bettered - it is mighty far advanced. ced.
