1. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
2. Now, as we find, there are some disturbing factors in the physical functioning of the body, [4873]. While in many respects the general physical conditions are very good, there are some indications of disturbed forces that with correction would bring for the body better conditions.
3. These have to do with specific conditions as well as some general conditions that are of a constitutional nature, or have been of long standing; thus making the necessity of some definite changes to bring about corrections in this direction.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4873] we are speaking of:
5. The BLOOD SUPPLY is very good, both as to quantity and quality. The elements show for very good coagulation; some disturbances in the present from cold and congestion, where there has been some strain on the general system. This is being cared for, however, by the general resistance in the system.
6. In the NERVE SYSTEM and SYSTEMS, here we find some of those conditions of the specific nature and constitutional nature that disturb the general equilibrium of the body.
7. The body has had in times back, or for some periods, those conditions which have produced the inactivity of the eliminations in the general alimentary canal. With this tendency for the overloading or the dilation of the colon, and with the strain and lack of proper movement in the muscular forces of the system (and with these making for tendencies in the nerve reactions to become lax), there has been the allowing of folds or accumulations in the form of hemorrhoids, that make for distress when there are the activities of the system at some periods.
8. Then, this is both a constitutional and specific condition, and a general debilitation in the nerve forces,
4873-1 Page 2
which makes for the improper contraction through the muscular activities of this portion of the body.
9. These conditions in the general system are from the last dorsal vertebra and from the 3rd and 4th lumbar plexus area. These make for at times (though in times back there were periods when there were the greater distresses in these particular centers or areas) acute pain, or dull heaviness at others making the body aware of the disorders in the system.
10. In the general functioning of the ORGANS, these we find are very good in most directions; especially so are there those mental reactions that are of the discerning and discernment in the activities of the body, considering the age or the activities to which and through which the body physically and mentally has passed. The body is alive, then, to the conditions about self in all phases of human - HUMAN - experience.
11. Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions as we find them, for correcting the conditions that disturb the body:
12. First there should be those precautions as to the manner and character of diet, that there is kept those properties which have the greater tendency towards the alkalin, and that are a tendency for the general rebuilding of the system. Not those foods so much that would make for roughness (that would make for laxness in the assimilating and digestive system), but those that are well-balanced in the rebuilding and replenishing for both the blood and the nerve supply of the body.
13. Also we would have the manipulations that may be given in the form or corrections WITH manipulations, especially in those areas indicated.
14. For an antiseptic and to reduce the tendencies of plethora in those portions that cause distress, use the ointment known as Tim. This will act with the manipulative forces to not only reduce the swelling and the painfulness, but to produce or cause coagulation such as to do away with those protuberances which make for the distress.
15. A very helpful exercise each morning and evening, also, would be the BENDING exercise with the hands raised high above the head, bending forward to bring the hands as close to the floor as possible. Do this for two or three minutes morning and evening.
16. To relieve the tendency for contraction, where there has been the disturbance of the structural portions in the right lower portion of the femur, or the shin bone, use a massage with equal parts tincture of myrrh and olive oil. This will cause the absorbing of the greater amount of the tissue that

has been thickened, by nature attempting to adjust itself under the unusual conditions. With this it will be found unnecessary for the removal by operation, for the activity of both the properties will work together with the action of the general system (that will be aided in the eliminating of those drosses that are carried into the circulation for the general physical condition), for the betterment of the general physical conditions.
17. Ready for questions.
18. The activities of the massage, especially on the lower limb, should be once each day. Heat the myrrh and add the oil. (Yes, this is opposite from what has usually been given, but HEAT the MYRRH and stir in the oil.) This doesn't mean boiling, but heat and mix together; for this will make for more of an ointment (while the other would remain in a different solution entirely).
19. The manipulations and adjustments would be given twice each week, once as a general treatment and the other more as the adjustments.
20. Following each stool the Tim Ointment should be used, or after the body is ready for retiring. This will be found to be more effective than any other application.
21. Ready for questions [and in same breath:].
22. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " File
