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 also give the cause of the existing conditions and the treatment and cure for this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are some conditions that are abnormal in this body. While we find the body very good throughout in many respects, there are those conditions in the body of the nature that affects the subliminal proclivities of the body in such a manner that the physical conditions become apparent in the body, causing the distress between the sympathetic, cerebrospinal and the subliminal forces in the entity. The body is much bettered from this condition at the present time than it has been in the past. The correcting of the cerebrospinal centers over the system has been very beneficial to the body.
3. We find that in the region of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar plexuses there have been those conditions that with the age, the development, the change in the body, that the connection between the nerves of the system that add to the genital organism and those of the pineal center and gland have removed the coordination. This produced by this subjection of these centers that receive the nutriment from the system from this center in this, and the reaction and the coordination between the system and the blood supply causes the change between the body and subjugating the body to such conditions as to produce the mental forces to become in that condition of subjugation to the psychic forces in this entity, the body at such times becoming subnormal in circulation, abnormal in nerve supply, and the contraction of these forces produces the unconscious to the mental body, accentuating mental activity after such condition has found its equilibrium, and the circulation and nerve supply coordinate again. The condition in the body has nothing whatever to do with the functioning of the organs of the system as organs, only affecting the blood supply, the nerve forces and especially those connections between the nerve

system, the subliminal forces, the subconscious forces of the body, and that as between the physical and that in the pineal nerve and gland.
4. Then to correct, to bring the correct condition to this body, keep more of the conditions in the body of the correction through those manipulations that will bring perfect coordination throughout the whole pelvic system and genital system, and the nerves that connect same with the pineal nerve and gland; taking at times those properties in the system that will produce the incentive in nerve reaction in pineal gland in genital system, those properties as found in the tea made from Maypop, or Maypop Bitters. These may be found in Chattanooga, Tenn., in Birmingham, Alabama, Five Points Drug Store. These properties would only be taken half a teaspoonful in glass of water about three times each week. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, each week, until at least four ounces have been taken.
5. Keep those conditions in the body and those vibrations as would be accorded by the deep manipulation, given rather osteopathically than chiropractically, for the muscles, the tissue, the nerve ganglion in the system must coordinate properly, and we will find we will bring the body to the normal conditions.
6. Well that the body understand that the greater forces in its individual self may be reached through the subliminal, through the psychic forces as manifest in itself, and make and bring itself under the subjugation of the I AM within the entity. Well that those forces or activities of the developing of the body to that state of manhood wherein the usage of all the functionings of the system, especially relating to that of the genitive system be well understood, and that the forces ever of self must be kept in touch with those Divine forces that give the understanding of the individual self. Ever remembering that the body of the entity is the temple of the Creator, and that the sacrifice of self is only that reasonable service* needed to bring the best developing of the entity in any walk of life that it may choose, and ever remembering that "Whatsoever a man soweth that must he also reap"* and that the better forces in self will be found in making the meditations of the heart, of the soul, of the body, ever receptive to the words of the great I AM within each and every entity.
7. Following in that way that presents the body wholly and acceptable unto Him, without spot, without blemish.*
