Time of Reading 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., New York. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5430]. Now, we find conditions abnormal for this body. These, we find, are rather of the subtle nature, involving the nervous system, the functioning organs, and the whole of the locomotory system as related to the brain's reaction to same. The conditions, as we find, were first of minor nature; then causing only that of improper eliminations, and the functioning and coordinating of the eliminating systems were involved. Then, under stress or strain as came through overtaxation, physically and mentally, there was the giving away of the equilibrium as related to the central nervous system, as related to the solar plexus and the raising of the spiritual and mental forces to an even balance in the system; the result being not WHOLLY, as has been termed, a clot; but rather the shattering, by that of starvation, to a nerve plexus, as causes those of improper distribution of the centers in the brain of the nervous system, and that of locomotion from that of the brain itself. The results, as has been seen, are those of improper distribution, first of forces as related to reflexes in the nerve system. Then we have had those of disturbance in the blood supply, where, with the overtaxing as first caused the condition, the attempt of the system to eliminate through that of the lymphatic circulation many of the poisons as should have been eliminated through alimentary canal and through the kidneys and bladder. In this condition we have found that of the swelling of the extremities, of pains in portions of the system, of abrasions in the cuticle itself, the epidermis becoming rather that of an inflammation as carried by that of the lymph's circulation. A low pressure as related to heart's action, a high pulsation, and then a high blood pressure.
2. In the activities to the ORGANS themselves, all become over active or sluggish. These, then, representing that of the extremes in the attempt to keep an equilibrium in the system.

3. In the activities as may be had for the betterment of the conditions of the body, we will find - while these would be SLOW, were these taken in their proper relations one to another, we may aid materially in reestablishing an equilibrium in the system, where that the reflexes will be nearer normal, and where we may build for a blood supply that will not be exaggerated in its activities - whether for lungs, heart, or digestive system. Neither will there be an excess of those forces as call for the creating of a plethora condition, through inflammation created in the organs themselves, whether from that of the activities of the glands as build for those portions of the system that add to the resuscitating forces of the body, or whether those of the replenishing of the nerve plasm itself, or brain's reaction.
4. First, we would begin with those of a massage of the cerebrospinal system, THROUGHOUT, from the end of the spine to the base of the brain, every other evening, with those properties of Balsam of Sulphur. This not to be made too wet nor too dry, but is to be massaged into the centers along the cerebrospinal system, being mindful that the whole time these are being kept there is not the reaction from too much of any forces that may be taken within the system in food properties that would not coordinate with the creation of the change in vibrations in the body itself. No MEATS, but rather those of the vegetable, nuts and fruits - but beware of apples. In those of the raw fruits, of the raw vegetables, nuts may be added. No oils or grease should be taken, save that as will aid in the eliminations through the alimentary canal. These we would take - of the oils - as act only as lubricants, and as will aid in cleansing the colon - that needs attention - particularly later on.
5. These, we will find, by the use of those of the alkalin Petrolagar, with that of the Russian oil - alternate the doses of these - which would be tablespoonful of each once each day. Take two, then, together, of the oil - two of the Petrolagar, but alternate each day, see?
6. Do that. Then, when these have been given for fifteen treatments; that is, massages - then we may give further instructions for the corrective forces for the body of [5430]. We are through for the present.
