1. EC: Yes, Mrs. [5557] - Now, as we find, there are those indications with this body of the inflammation of the nerve plexus and centers that are INTERNAL in their action. These produce those forms of nerve reactions that become aggravating in different natures at different times. These are produced from toxic forces in the system, for there have been leakages in the intestinal tract from thinned walls. Not that as would be called wholly perforations, but so that the absorption - or the lymph and emunctory circulation, carry much of that as should be eliminated through other channels. Hence the abrasions, the sore portions in the system. These, as we find, have arisen from disorders as existed in times back, when there were the application of external sources or forces in the effect of an anaesthesia, or anaesthetic for the body, that, affected the system especially in the sympathetic system - and caused first this accumulation in the form, as an effect would be, of gases in the system passing through the respiratory system - as it did - has produced, or did produce, first this disorder that has been sapping the vitality at times. At others we find apparently plenty of the bodily conditions, yet taking FROM same the stamina or vitality. Hence those reactions as had on portions of the system, especially through the REGENERATIVE system. In these activities, those have brought irritations also in pelvic organs, and necessarily the reaction in the nervous system from disturbances here to the head, eyes, and the sensory system. As for those of the SYMPATHETICS being disturbed, makes for those conditions in ear, those conditions in the feel or the touch, the lack at times of the responses in the taste or smell, or disorder in vision. These are REFLEXES; they are not produced by those of specific conditions in the system, or organic disorders, but FUNCTIONAL, by a gradual or a general drain that has been indicated from those that existed first that produced same in the nervous system, in the emunctory and lymph, and

later in those of the digestive system. Then these reactions as we have had to other portions of the system becoming as reflex from same.

2. In meeting the needs, as we would find, in the first we would require that there be a general relaxation of the whole of the cerebrospinal system (osteopathically given, would we go over this). These for at least twelve to sixteen treatments, and these - as we find - should be given every other day, or at least three times each week - see? We would have a GENERAL treatment, with SPECIFIC attention to the eliminating system as in reference to poisons from the alimentary canal from the organs of the system, so that the eliminating systems become coordinating and cooperative in their activities in the system.

3. When these have been begun, and at least three to five such manipulations have been given, we would add those vibrations from the plain Radio-Active Appliance, that will make for an easier circulation, more uniform HEATING forces - as it were - in the system, and bring about a better state of the ability to rest, and to feel rested from sleep or FROM resting. This we would use each evening when the body RESTS, preferable to night; though it may be used when the body is ready to retire. We would attach the anodes, or plates, one to the ankle, the other to the opposite wrist - see? and circle the body. One day on one, the next day on the other. These should be taken, if taken in the day, for at least twenty to sixty minutes. If taken in evening may be made a little longer period. These would be prepared in the regular way and manner.

4. In the matter of the diet, be mindful that these are both blood and nerve building, keeping an even balance in the alkalin and acid producing forces for the system. PARTICULARLY, should there be much of - at one period, at least, of the day - the OILS of NUTS. These are good for this body, RATHER than meats; and at another period of the day let's have a great deal of the leafy and green vegetables, such as carrots, celery, lettuce, and preferably that that does not head - for this body; more soporiferous than that of the iceberg.

5. In the matter of meats, beware of those that are much of the fats of same, and never have any that is cooked in its own fat, nor seasoned with the products of its own kind.

6. As we find, these applied in this way and manner - at least two periods of treatments - when these have been taken for twelve to eighteen, or to fifteen, we would then give the information for when the next period should be resumed - see?

7. Ready for questions.

8. We are through for the present.
