1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5475] - this we have had before. There is the continued improvement in the general physical conditions of the body. There needs only that the due consideration be given respecting the whole nervous system, as related to the physical functioning of the body, that the taxation of the nervous system does not overtax the physical, nor the physical exercises of the body overtax the nerve and mental system. The applications as are given are very good. The treatments as for the changes in the system are in keeping with the conditions. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Why is body weak after walking and relaxing? (A) That same condition as just given respecting the incoordination of the physical, with the nerve system acting in the same manner as one that over PHYSICALLY EXERCISES; so that the nerve system becomes distraught or over active in its operation with the physical body. Only time and close application, just as a strain of any character - just so the strain to the physical from the nerves' activities in the system, see?
3. (Q) What causes numbness mostly on left side of body? (A) The improper circulation as produced from the strain, especially existent in the lumbar and dorsal plexus - where the weaknesses show in the treatments.

all assimilated, see?
5. (Q) Why does body continue to suffer from headaches? (A) The incoordination of the nerve system in the ganglia along the cerebrospinal, and naturally produces the pressure.
6. (Q) Would you advise sweat or fume baths for body? (A) Not until there is a BETTER coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. THEN, these would be beneficial - the fume baths, especially; using those of the salts.
7. That is all the questions regarding this body.
