1. LBC: You have before you Mr. [4688], Sr., who is in this room with you. He is before you now, you will see him. Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what is the matter with him, if anything.
2. EC: In this body here, of Mr. [4688], Sr., you see, we have some several things the trouble in the body, and some several things that are near trouble, being kept off by that of the condition of the system in itself proper, through that of self will. The condition we have existing in the body, that is abnormal, is from that of the elimination - poor elimination, produced by the condition of the spleen and its action on the forces of the system in the body. Its functions are that of producing a cellular force or tissue in matter proper, used in the rebuilding of the forces in the brain, carried by those to that, by their force or return force of the cerebrospinal nerve center in itself - a destructor of red blood - using its force to produce its matter.
3. We have an attribute condition of the right end or lobe of the spleen in itself, here on the side, as we feel from the condition we have in the side, producing pains we have here at times, uneasy, nausea at the stomach, lower down, the lower end through the end of the duodenum to below here at the pancreas - at times the ends of the jejunum themselves, passing of the digestion into the intestinal tracts, with pains and nausea here at times - the lower extremities, the kidneys, (the opposite pole) acting to these forces - pains across the small of the back at times. Not all the time. A general debility, tired feeling, suppressed lowness or feeling, especially when he wakes up. The action of the force of brain matter is through the force acted on by those carried by the impressions of the matter, themselves, acting through the forces of the spleen. The action of the forces on the brain is used as we have ideas or impressions, through the sensory organism, used matter to be forced into the brain, the cellular forces being used at the time of repose or rest of the body, to rebuild. The call of the forces on to the matter of the body, as we have

of Mr. [4688] leaves a depression or tired feeling to the whole system, as we find, along the side.
4. We take into the system, which we have here, those which act to the digestion proper or to the rebuilding forces to the matter of red blood, acting through that of the gastric juices in the stomach. We have had these forces in to the stomach that act to the rebuilding or the digestion of matter as taken into the system, through the ganglia of the digestive tract itself, through that of the circulation, acting on to the serum or matter used through that of the digestion proper in the system, as is carried through the portions of the system. We rebuild, or we feel refreshed for the time being. We feel the depression afterwards, because we have not acted on the nerve forces.
5. (Q) What other conditions do you find? (A) These are the conditions we have. We have a sympathetic condition from these. These are some minor.
6. (Q) What causes the abnormal hunger? (A) The feeling we have in the digestion, as we have had here through the portion of the stomach. Digestion takes place from the stomach and into the intestines, and the whole system. We pass food into the stomach; it is acted on by the gastric juices, and passed on into the intestines, and acted on by the intestines here through the liver, the pancreas, and duodenum, and taken then into the new blood or what is used for new blood and passed into the system. The action we have had into the stomach through that of producing the proper digestion as we have had before, has produced in the system that of a more action to the gastric juices of the stomach. We have an over - or an excess of matter, calling for the food in the stomach proper, through that of a longing or in self. The digestion is not as proper as it should be.
7. (Q) What causes the sores in the mouth? (A) Over gastric juice in the stomach. Acidity in it.
8. (Q) What would you prescribe to relieve these conditions, and bring the body back to a normal condition? (A) The condition, as we have produced in the mouth, from the condition in the intestines, or in the stomach, we have from an excess of matter of the gastric juices, produced by the action of the force on to the stomach, to produce proper digestion. We have at the 5th to 6th dorsal, nerves, or blood supply to the upper end of the stomach, in its action or mass or matter on to these forces, producing an over-stimulus or taking up of matter passed into the blood, distributed through the saliva glands in the mouth, or acting to the
4688-1 Page 3
peptone glands, producing here in the mouth. The action of the matter carried by these show themselves, as we have in the condition produced in the mouth. To reduce the condition of the whole, as we have in the system of Mr. [4688] remove first the condition whereby we first produced the trouble, or that of the torpidity of the spleen or the attribute condition, which we will find by the pressure to the side.
9. (Q) How will that be removed? (A) By taking that first into the system, which will produce a condition in the circulation whereby we benefit, or prepare the system for a treatment to the spine, or its nerve ganglia here, at the solar plexus, and above - the cardiac plexus too - to produce a condition or rejuvenation of the cellular forces in the organ itself, or that into the system of what we would have in ordinary onions, though cooked. This produces into the system, or into the stomach itself, a cellular force or rejuvenation of the gastric juices. We have a force into the intestines, or into the stomach, enough - not all at once. Enough one day, and another day and another day, until we have into the system these proper amounts which you feel by the difference of the action of the stomach itself, by the removal of the cause of the trouble, or the nausea at the upper end of the stomach. We apply to the spine then, along from the last cervical to the last dorsal electrical force, through that of a galvanic or vibrating electrical force. Not as we would have in static or straight but in a vibrating force, which produces to the nerve ganglia themselves the same force to the muscular condition which they lie interlatteral with. Keep plenty of out door exercise as much as possible, and get as much of the oxygen in the air as possible. The condition will be improved, if it is not allowed to run on. Else we will have the same condition in the stomach as we have in the mouth, and will pass into the intestinal tract, you see - in one year.
10. (Q) Any other treatment for the present? (A) This is it now. First fix the condition of the stomach so we act on to the first nausea, then we act on to what produces the condition, through the electrical force applied to the spine through the dorsals. Not too much through the cervical or we produce the same effect as we have through that of the blood passing through.
