Time of Reading ... Building, 10:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Pittsburgh, Pa. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5632]. Now, we find, while the body not so very ill - as would be termed - from distress or dis-ease, we find there ARE disturbing conditions with the physical forces of this body that should have attention, or conditions of which the body should be mindful, that these disturbances are reached by meeting that from which the disturbance is caused, and NOT the effects only, allowing conditions to be builded in the system that would later cause a great deal of distress. Taken properly, in the present condition, as we find, this should be eliminated rather easily, will precaution be taken as regarding the diets and as regarding the CHARACTER of the exercise, and of the MENTAL attitude of the body; for we find the body rather that of one nerve tensions high. While not one that may be termed a nervous wreck, no - for one that controls self fairly well, but this subjugation at times, this tendency to go when the physical body is not really able, is what is working or living on the nerves, see? Now, we find, the disturbance that is MAINLY with the body, there is an internal lesion at the 2nd lumbar and 12th dorsal, see? This tendency, or this weakness there, gives rise to that disturbance with the adrenal or endren [endocrine] glands about the kidneys. This tends to make the swelling that occurs in various portion of the system at times. This also tends to make this heavy tiredness, from the non-elimination of poisons that should go through this channel as eliminations from the system. Being carried back, the tendency is to cause nervous distress in other portions of the system. At times the body finds that eating is distressing; NOT a distress from the stomach, nor of the digestive system, but the digestion becomes DISTURBED by the CHARACTER of the hepatic circulation in the lower portion of same, or that as has to do with digestion in the intestinal system - for, as is seen, when food enters the system the chemical process of the stomach is to furnish that with same

that it may be assimilated for the good of the system, acted upon by the juices from the stomach - or walls of stomach itself - from the pancreas, the spleen, the liver - entering the system, or the jejunum - we find digestion takes place through that absorbed and carried by the lymph and the hepatic circulation - or the circulations through that portion of the system - to the body as food values. With the distress or pressures created in this portion of the system, and with the glands - or the capsules about the kidneys causing inflammation at times - the pains through the lower portion of the system are the effect of this, and poisons are gradually filtered through into the system, and will CAUSE - sooner or later - either distresses in the form of the lacerations as would be seen in the stomach, or a torpidity or a hardening in the liver. The puffing under the eyes, the feeling of fullness in lower limbs, the aching through the shoulders, are the effects of these conditions.
2. Now, to meet the needs of these at the present time, and to continue - as it were - with the exercises of the labors, or the activities of the body - will require that care, attention, persistency and consistency of the activities, be taken care of.
3. With the proper manipulations, we will find that the body is easier. With fats, or with any fried foods, we find greater distress. We find hurrying through the meals, and becoming active immediately thereafter, causes the greater distress in the fourth or fifth or sixth hours afterwards, through the stomach. This just the condition as we have seen, then, that the ASSIMILATION is taking place in the intestines, and has PASSED from the stomach - and the distresses are caused across the body, or down the right side.
4. In meeting these, then, we would have the proper manipulations to relax the system.
5. We would take, internally, these properties: At evening time, we would take Sweet Spirits of Nitre - one to two drops with two drops of Syrup of Squill. Now the activities of these in the system, is to MODIFY that distress as is seen in this portion of the system, about the kidneys. The CAUSE of this condition is the strain as HAS existed for a period of time in this particular region.
6. The diet should be, as seen, NOT those of fats - not those of heavy fried foods. Rather those that the juices of whatever eaten is cooked in same, and NOT supplied by outside forces, see? It doesn't matter so much WHAT, as to the character and the manner in which it is eaten - provided it hasn't the fats or too much of the starches, see? Ready

for questions.
7. (Q) Is condition congenital? (A) Rather that of the strain that has existed for a long period of time, and while congenital in its activity - couldn't be wholly laid to THAT condition, see? for it is rather of a condition gradually pressing on the nerves that lead to this portion of system, with improper impulses from the centers radiating from the 2nd lumbar and 12th dorsal plexus - meaning in the lower portion, of course, not the upper, of the solar plexus, and the sympathetic and cerebrospinal in its brush ends.
8. (Q) Is it advisable for the body's mother to be with her? (A) Very good - though not absolutely necessary, if those things as we have given would be followed out! We are through for the present.
