1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5468]. Now, we find the body very good in many respects. There are conditions, as we find, of a specific nature that at times cause distress in the functioning of those conditions as have to do with the respiratory system, the activity of the body, and of the blood and pulsations, during such depressions. The conditions, as we find, are produced by pressures that are existent in the cerebrospinal system, and they work TOGETHER, as it were, from lesions as have been produced by pressure from an exterior source, that prevents the ganglia under the depression of giving off their proper impulse in the functioning of the system. These conditions or suppressions, as we find, exist in the 2nd and 4th LUMBAR, and reflexly in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, which act with those the secondary cardiac and central nerve system, as radiate with the bronchia and the nasal cavities. These cause, then, that spasmodic reaction as produces the distresses, under the suppression, whether of cold, congestion, those of atmospheric pressure, or of such natures; these affecting directly the respiratory system, and reflexly those of the secondary forces in the lumbar as relate to the lower portion of the hepatic circulation, so that there comes, with the repression, those reactions between the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, and the activities of the system through these channels. These allowed to remain would become of such a constitutional nature as must either produce in the soft tissue of throat, or in the nasal and the antrum and the other soft tissue of face and head, a repression that would become detrimental - unless kept in that atmospheric pressure as would prevent the enlarging of the flow in circulation through those suppressions as exist in lumbar and upper dorsal. Then, while the body is in its formative and development stage, this may be more easily remedied than

were the conditions to be allowed to grow into the formations where the ganglia, so under suppression, become attuned, and the system attempts to build about same those of thickened walls, that would prevent the setting up of the drainages in system as to REMOVE those of the lesions as formed, and allowing the nerve supply and the forces through the ganglia to become reactive in their normalcy. These, as we find, through the correction that may be made in an osteopathic or chiropractic manner, with the releasing of pressure over the whole system, we would add those vibratory forces through those of the low form of electrical vibration as may be had through the sinusoidal, especially from the 2nd and 3rd dorsal and in the 4th lumbar plexus. These of the low form, and gradually increased, and given about once to twice each week, would make and build for the body that resistance to overcome those conditions. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Are there any particular outside things that cause this trouble, other than atmospheric conditions? (A) Certain pollens, of course, have their effect, for they reflex in those activities of the respiratory system.
3. (Q) When and what were the conditions that produced this pressure? (A) First, the BEGINNING of the condition was at or soon after the birth. In the fourth year we find there were ACCIDENTS that only added TO the condition, and gradually built that repression.
4. (Q) Approximately how long will it take to correct the conditions? (A) At least three to six WEEKS would make MATERIAL changes. There needs be expected there may be reoccurrence of the condition, so long as there are those tendencies - when cold, congestion, or pollens, that affect especially the sympathetics in the system. These, however, will be GRADUALLY grown OUT of, WITH the correction, or the relieving of the pressure.
5. (Q) Any special diet? (A) That, that is blood and nerve building. Exercises should be as much in the OPEN as may be had, without subjecting the body to those irritants that at periods cause depressions.
6. (Q) What are irritating, other than pollens and atmospheric conditions? (A) These ARE the IRRITANTS, though - as we find - the body SYMPATHETICALLY is reflexly active to colors, surroundings and conditions, but these are more of a psychopathic nature, through the activity of the sympathetic system.
Do this, as we have given, would we make the PERMANENT

corrections for this body.
7. We are through for the present.
