1. LBC: You have before you [4812], ... Ave., Nashville, Tenn. - [4812], Nashville, Tenn.
2. EC: Yes, we have him here, we have had him before. In some respects he is better and some he is not. Through the lower limbs, especially, at the fourth and fifth lumbar, these lesions or nerve centers that are in direct connection with the hips and nerves of locomotion are very sore to the touch, both outside and in. The muscle tissue here in this portion is sore, also they are shrunken and shriveled from lack of stimulation through the nerve supply and, also, circulation is poor.
3. The nerve force here is demolished through this system and has produced to the extremities this inability to move, in other words, he is unable to move about.
4. The lower sympathetics are not in accord with the other forces, consequently, they do not carry the impulse to and from the extremities as they should; movement is consequently impaired. Now we can force this by manipulation and through suggestion of the nerve force to these parts to improve this. We have been improving some as these forces are taking away the inflammation through the kidneys but there is a lack of power through the lower intestinal tract to carry off these poisons that should be carried off. It has simply been carried down by gravity more than by normal excretion.
5. Forcing the action of the kidney has produced some inflammation of the kidney and of the bladder - some inflammation and pains. It is inflamed and somewhat worse than it was before. These nerve centers are in direct connection, through the sympathetic system, to the lumbar region, corresponding through the sympathetic system to the solar plexus, the cardiac plexus, thence to the brain. This has made the eyes a little worse than before and has produced slight pains in the bladder. The liver is still sluggish; digestion fairly good; in the stomach we have some little inactivity at times but through the pelvis and the kidneys themselves the excretion has improved and is in fair condition; that is, we have a normal discharge as compared with formerly but the rest of the system is not improved,
4812-2 Page 2
that is, the nerve supply of this system is not improved with the toning up of the organs, kidney and liver.
6. The nerve supply of this system, through the pelvic plexus will improve if manipulation is used along with these other forces. Take more into this system than we have had before but avoid all strain of mind and body. Instead of Juniper leave this out and take just the sulphur and turpentine, in some very small quantities. This sulphur may produce a rash on the skin, also, an irritation but if we use electricity (the electric force) it will be neutralized and it will be directed into other channels. We will, also, have to have manipulation of these limbs also, the pelvis and across the lumbar region, in fact, clear along the spine. This will make the body rest. We need more rest in this body or nature cannot exert itself, then we will get relief through the lymphatics and sympathetics.
7. We do not have enough rebuilding material in this body; the building forces are low and weak. We need more suggestion to this mind, this will stop this deteriorating of the forces in this body and also, add much to reduce this inflammation down here in the pelvis.
8. We have in this body a lack of building material in the blood; you know the blood is the rebuilding force of the whole system, hence, through the circulation it is carried by the action of the nerve force and muscular action to the different parts of the system. This muscular fibre has shrunken from lack of nutrition, consequently, lack of blood supply, lack of building power, also, lack of nerve force to force this blood to its proper destination.
9. By the proper manipulation of this body we will relax these muscles and force the blood through the diseased parts. We want to build this body, tone it up and not overcharge or we will produce a torpidity of the liver. Take nourishing diet into the stomach, so that digestion is perfect, also, the patient breathe plenty of pure air so as to purify the blood that circulates through the lungs. As the building material in this body or the power to build itself has been defective; this body has been unable to throw out the poisons from this system through the sluggish condition of the kidneys. These poisons will be eliminated by removing the lesions in the spine and stimulating the nerve force to the lower part of the pelvis, where the principal action on this body is required.
10. The lack of power to rebuild itself has produced the condition we have here, consequently, to rebuild we have to begin in the forces first as we lack the power to rebuild. The muscular force in this body is low; the muscles are

flabby and relaxed. In order to produce better stimulation through the nervous system and better circulation of the blood we must depend on manipulation of the limbs; manipulation of the pelvis and sacrum, across the lumbars up to the solar plexus, then we will have to treat the whole system for nature needs to exert itself. Plenty of elimination, which will be followed by a better action of the sympathetics and general nervous system.
11. We have not enough to rebuild this body. After this trouble is removed then we can improve it. The building supply is destroyed, so to speak; in other words, we lack power. This lack of power is the cause of much of this trouble in this body.
