1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the abnormal conditions in this body are many and they have to do with the organic conditions, with the effect that these produce upon other functioning organs, and they involve the nerve system and the effect then as these conditions produce within the body. These may be more readily overcome and the better vibrations set about in the body by the change as we shall see in the treatment of the physical conditions for this body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body of [4790], ..., Illinois, we are speaking of. First, in the blood supply in the body, we find, while the blood itself in very good condition, taken as a whole the elements carried in the blood from distressed tissue, the call upon the blood supply to furnish sufficient element to meet the needs of coagulation going on in the system is above that of the system to all times supply. Hence, broken tissue and the waste of blood in the system at times. Not sufficient then of those elements in the system to give the needed white blood or the leukocyte forces to meet the needs in coagulation in system.
3. In the nerve forces there is rather that element of fear and of strained nerve centers than of the nerve system itself, in itself being defective, the body in times back has been in such condition that the nerve supply of the system was the stronger force within the body. Now fear through the centers, especially in posterior centers of the solar plexus nerve system or branches.
4. In the organs of the body, we find these conditions: In the brain force, body very good, with the exception of the fear as forms from the centers and gives hallucinations in a form to the cell forces that govern certain portions of the body. Organs of the sensory system, defective in their functioning rather than organic conditions of organs themselves, save that as goes with the condition of the body. In the throat, larynx, bronchials and lungs, we find, we find with the temperature produced in blood by the system
4790-1 Page 2
attempting to meet the needs of the body, we find these respond spasmodic to the condition. Hence the shortness of breath, the dryness to throat and organs of same, and at times the complaint of secretions troubling these portions of body. Heart over-active at the present time - we find pulsation 95, respiration 32, temperature 98.4.
5. In the digestive forces, we find with the lower portion of the stomach where lacerations have been produced by strangulation of the tissue in these portions of the body, - this where the forces needed by blood supply meet the needs of the condition in the system direct. At present we only have the lacerated condition. These may become other forms of organic conditions, as is signified by the character of the excretions from the system. In this center too, we find the nerve system over-taxed and the body assimilating fear rather than stimulus of the nature to give relief to the body. That center, the pneumogastric, you see. Duodenum shows the lack of forces assimilated properly. Hence the bacilli created gives to the forces of the lacteal fluids that cause distress through the upper portion of the intestinal tract. Hence, in places or patches [Peyer's patches?] of the intestinal tract itself becoming under this influence, stuff off [slough off?] or show how that the mucous or the inner coating is being attacked by these conditions as created in the pyloric end of the stomach proper. Liver, engorged, and spasmodic in its action of excretory and secretive functioning. Kidneys overcharged, causing the dull, heavy feeling to the abdomen, hips and lower portion of the body.
6. To give the relief, we would add this rather to the medicinal properties that have last been given to the body, see. Take through inhalation, not in the system, as this:
To six ounces of grain alcohol add:
Balsam of White Pine..........15 minims, Balsam of Myrrh................5 minims, Rectified Spirit of Turp.......5 minims, Eucalyptol.....................5 minims.
7. This would be shaken well together, small quantity poured into a receptacle which may be heated so that the fumes from this solution may be inhaled into the throat and nostrils that we may enliven the supplying of carbon and of the oxidized oxygen or ozone to the blood supply as reached through the lung forces, see.
8. Take into the system, elm water carrying also half quantity of a weak solution of yellow saffron tea, for the

intestinal tract, soothing of the condition in the pyloric end. Give the violet ray to the whole length of the spinal system, especially at the tenth dorsal - very little across front portion of body, but rather let the vibration come through the nerve centers governing this. Do this. Then we will advise further when this has had its reaction. We are through. .
