1. EC: Now, we find this body in many respects is very good throughout, yet there are abnormal conditions in the functioning of organs, and some organs are involved in conditions. Not wholly organic conditions, not wholly functional troubles. Some of these, as we see, are specific. Others are rather submerged and are hard to get the dissemination between the conditions, for we have results of conditions, and we have specific conditions and each are manifested in the physical being at the present time.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this not normal, yet not one through which the conditions arise, yet rather the effect of a condition. The red blood supply being physical [deficient?] and the numbers in red blood cellular force below normal. White very good.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find this is very good in many ways, yet there are specific conditions in the nerve effect as is brought or manifested in the body, for we have specific conditions in the body that produce much of the condition, and that producing same has been of long standing. This we find of a specific nature, shown in the second dorsal, in the third and fourth cervical specific, though other vertebrae and other centers are impinged and affected by conditions. This reaction then to the system is particularly to the functioning of the sensory organism, as is shown in ear, in eyes, in the sense of smell. One becoming exaggerated, the other becoming below the normal, for the auditory nerves are particularly involved in conditions, so that nutriments to the portion of the concha cochlea itself find there is not sufficient circulation to remove used forces, for we find with the functioning of every organ in sensory system, or in any portion of the body with the functioning, the force as is exercised is expended in the physical body. When the circulation becomes
5740-1 Page 2
impaired, or the nerve that supplies with the tissue and muscular forces, that circulation to nerve being deficient, then we find we have either an overtaxing, as we have in the sense of smell, and taste, or we have a subnormal, as we have in ears and eyes at times. Eyes not as much as ears, you see. In the forces then as we have in this, we have a condition in the cerebrospinal system and an effect in the sensory organism in their functioning from these conditions existing.
5. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, we find as these: This condition also as we have given in the nerve forces affects reflexly the secondary cardiac plexus, producing irritation from dust and from the conditions under which the body labors. Irritation to the upper portion of the lungs. This as a reflex force.
6. In the organs then, we find as these:
7. Brain forces well balanced.
8. Sensory organism as we have given.
9. The throat, bronchials, we have had some irritation, do have irritation at times, in the region of the tonsil and the epiglottis. This we find is an effect. This produces though at such times an extra secretion to the body and is a drain on the lymphatic circulation and one condition that depletes the replenishing forces in cellular forming conditions in body.
10. In the lungs we have this effect. These may be with the conditions, with the odors, with the surroundings, with the condition in the nerve system, unless corrected, produce a physical condition that may become very detrimental and destructive to tissue in the body, yet taken at this time, and with corrections, may be easily subdued and brought to the normal forces in this body. This we find affects reflexly through the aorta artery, the upper digestion, for we have reflex forces to the cardiac end of stomach proper, and this produces then in the system this effect. At times this body is very hungry. At other times, when it should be apparently, food becomes nauseating, though not suffering from indigestion, digestion is overflowed, or the seat of digestion overflowed, by the blood supply attempting to produce the equalization through the cardiac forces, for with the secondary cardiac involved in the upper dorsal, and with the cardiac end of stomach involved by blood supply to the pneumogastric and hypogastric center, we have this overflow of blood forces.
11. Through the rest of the organs of the body, these are very good. A taxing at such times of an overflow to the kidneys and the bladder which gives some trouble to the
5740-1 Page 3
body, though these are entirely reflex.
12. R E L I E F, then to bring the normal forces to this body, the body of necessity, with the conditions, must be very persistent and consistent with those conditions that would and will bring the permanent relief to the body from such conditions.
13. First, we would, through the chiropractic forces, adjust the conditions in the cervical and dorsals. Not in the manner as would be ordinarily taken, neither must the body get the force that these adjustments are to make or bring the cure to the body, for these adjustments only need be taken twice each week, but each evening the body must exercise head and neck with these movements: Persistently and consistently keep this up until we find the equalization of the circulation, which will bring relief to the condition in the sensory organism. First, bend neck, head, and with the body perfectly erect, sitting or standing (standing preferred), forward three times, backward three times, to the left three times, to the right three times, circular motion to the right five circles, circular motion to the left five circles. We will find this will bring dizziness to the body at first. After this has been taken, and the body lying prone, attach this vibration to the body. Prepare a battery in this manner and form:
14. Two bars carbon steel, half inch round, four inches long, fastened together with glass or insulation between small insulated copper wires attached to one end of each bar. To the other end of each wire attach small plates. These will be arranged so that one end, or one small plate may be attached to the wrist, the other to the ankle. When ready for use place these bars in ice water. Let them remain on body for hour, hour and a half. We will find we will equalize the circulation in the body, assisting both the condition in pulmonaries, the condition in circulation, removing much of the condition where that the body suffers from where we have improper circulation to the capillaries, where we have dry places, burning places over the cuticle, we have at present. This should be done each evening, for we will bring real rest to the body with this.
15. For the local condition in lung forces, use an inhalant of this: To four ounces of grain alcohol, add: Eucalyptol..................10 minims, Oil of White Pine ...........5 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp........5 minims.
16. Shake this solution, keep well corked, but inhale through the mouth, inhale the fumes as will come from this
5740-1 Page 4
solution, taking none of the solution in the system, only the fumes from same. Do this at least twice each day, or with any depression as we find appears at times, any cough. We will find we will bring relief to this body. Do this consistently, persistently. We will find we will bring normal forces in eight to ten months. Not necessary that chiropractic forces be kept this long, but the adjustments should be made, but the vibrations from battery forces, the exercises of the head and neck must be kept up.
