1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are rather those conditions physical of which the body should be warned, for while the reactions are apparently of minor importance at present, the corrections may be made easily now; while, are they allowed to become constitutional, it would be harder to remove the causes.

2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5549] we are speaking of, present in this room: First,

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows the effect of poor eliminations, especially as related to the alimentary canal, and in the disturbances there is necessarily a weakening of the causes or the organs of elimination through other channels, or an overtaxation of same, and in THIS PARTICULAR body means a WEAKENING of same.

4. In the elements or constituents OF the blood, these are rather the effect of auto-intoxication, produced from the condition existent in the colon.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, here we find the greater cause of disturbance, and that from which most of the disorders apparent come; yet the effect and the causes are not all OF the nervous system; rather they be the positions that show or indicate the causes of disturbances. There are, however, in the lower dorsal and lumbar region, specific conditions existent in the form of lateral lesions. These have prevented, by their preventing the full impulse from the nerve plexus to SUPPLY the activity necessary for peristalsis throughout the intestinal tract. Hence the condition as is termed in the beginning, as of constipation. This, then, a cause - or a seat of a trouble. While the reflexes as are FROM this to the kidneys, weakened by the overtaxation in system attempting to throw off the poisons, we have those reflexes manifesting themselves in that of the tendency towards insomnia, or the inability to rest easy;

also that condition in which the nerve system throughout presents that of a nerve reaction, and being in that position wherein the pressure affects both sympathetic and cerebrospinal, gives this character of a reflex.

6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:

7. Brain forces are VERY good.

8. Organs of the sensory system show rather the effect of the poisons as are thrown back into the system often. Hence the accentuations in the organs of the sensory system, either by distortions, or the SUBNORMAL activity.

9. In the bronchials, throat and lungs - these are very good at present. There has existed indications of the conditions produced BY the toxemia, and the effects are seen in the lungs themselves - though not an organic condition at present.

10. Heart's action normal.

11. The digestive system as related to the gastric JUICES of same, natural with one suffering from the tendency of constipation - especially as produced by improper movement of the system itself, and the reflexes to the vegetative nerve system, and state of too much acid is most often the result.

12. Liver also shows the effect of the nervous condition, as well as of the poisons, or accumulation of poisons, from the effect in the system of toxemia.

13. The greater DISTRESS ORGANICALLY, being then that in the effect produced in the kidney, and the PELVIC system finds irritations from the acid.

14. In meeting, then, the needs, or in making corrections in the present, that the system may be near to a normal system, we would find that first would be the PROPER procedure to have those CORRECTIONS made in the cerebrospinal nervous system, or the relief, or the removal of the pressure in the ganglia along same.

15. We would take internally those of Milk of Magnesia, as would be ALTERNATED occasionally with those of the Alophen in the one pellet. This should NOT be taken too regularly, but should be taken while CORRECTIONS are being made, that - with the proper stimuli to the system, and the proper diet taken as will CAUSE the reactions in the blood and in the assimilating and eliminating system, we will have a normal BALANCED system.

16. We would, then, do that. We will FIND that consistency and a little persistency will be necessary to make the proper corrections. If this is to be only HALF done, would be better in the present condition not to do ANY of it! Ready for questions.
