1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5161], present in this room.
3. As we find, there are conditions which are aggravating or disturbing the body, and with the correction of these we may find many other disturbances responding to a better general coordinating in the eliminating systems.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5161], we are speaking of; present in this room:
5. The blood supply here indicates an aggravation of a local nature, produced by the destroying of cellular forces in portions of the body, as in hands and the like. The cellular forces being destroyed without the regular channels for lymph and emunctory circulation, there are poisons being thrown off, as indicated through the rash and the effect as burns upon portions of the cuticle itself.
6. As to the activities this produces in the general circulation, much of these are carried into the central circulation so that the channels of elimination through the respiratory and perspiratory system, the liver and the kidneys, all have reflex conditions respecting these, and there is the consciousness in the sympathetic or sensory system, or sympathetic and sensory system.
7. These make for disorders in these organs also. This becomes, then, the greater contributory factor to disorders in those organs in their functioning for the system.
8. In the central nerve and blood supply, the heart's activity, here it is reflected, and we have a condition which varies quite a bit. At times with activities that have taken a great deal of the strength, whether mental or
5161-1 Page 2
physical, we will find a quicker pulsation and other times when the body sits to rest it doesn't alter or change to a normal resting body as it should, but races on at times.
9. These, then, are, as indicated, reflexes or - are reflected in the nerve centers which control the equilibriums established between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous system.
10. As we find, in making for administrations here, we would first apply a local application for the hands, that would be combined by an ointment prepared at least every other day. Take a cup of cut Plantain; the tender leaves, not the heavy. Some of the seed would also be well at this season. Then add to same an equal amount of top fresh cream (do not pack) in a cup or glass or whatever container this is measured in. Stir this together and let it come to a boil. Then apply over the hands and wrist where there are those irritations. Cover this for the night and then take off of morning, cleanse with an antiseptic (as of any mild antiseptic). We will find in a few days these conditions will disappear from the hands and wrist, if better circulation and elimination is set up between the liver and the kidneys and the stimulating of the alimentary canal. For the stimulation for alimentary canal we would give any vegetable laxative, as senna or such vegetable laxative.
11. We would prepare Mullein Tea as an exhilaration to the cleansing of the general circulation through the organs of the central system, as the liver and the kidneys. This we would take every other day, about two ounces. Take the dried Mullein leaves, a pinch between the thumb and forefinger and the second finger and put in a cup, pour boiling water on same, let this stand for at least thirty minutes, strain, cool and drink.
12. Then do have a massage along the spinal area from at least the 1st and 2nd cervical to the end of the spine. This will relax the body better. Do this with Peanut Oil, not too much but what the body will absorb. Do this once or twice a week just before retiring, then with the sponge bath of a morning or shower, these will make for refreshments to the body. Do not use any soaps that are too alkaline on the hands but tar derivatives are preferable for these.
13. Do that and we will bring better conditions.
14. The conditions in the activities of the mind and body and soul, know that these are one. The body has used, is using the experience of life well. Keep in that way of the ever creative influences and such activities as are applicable toward individuals, and we will find these will not only give a better outlook but make for better activity

of the mental, of the spiritual, and the results in the physical will be much improved. These are general, yes, but make them specific in that "As ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them."
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) What may be done to improve eyes? (A) The massage, as these are given properly, with the changes which are being wrought in the circulation and the eliminations set up we should have less burning and more of an ability to use helpful forces. We would not put things in the eyes unless just to clarify them from the secretions which arise at times. These should help the body.
17. (Q) Left side of neck? (A) The massages and the applications for the body-forces should improve these conditions.
18. (Q) What causes and what will be done to overcome headache? (A) These are the reflexes from incoordination in the central nervous system as related to cerebrospinal and sympathetic, as given, and the reflex to the sensory nervous forces. These will be improved.
19. (Q) Lumbago? (A) This is occasional. These reactions are from the attempt of the conditions to perform the function of the other eliminating systems. These changed, however, these should be farther apart.
20. (Q) What is condition of heart? (A) As has been indicated.
21. (Q) What may be done to improve memory? (A) As indicated, the mental and the spiritual attitudes will improve the memory the more.
