TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [18]. Now, we find, while the body is very good throughout, there are those existent conditions that, taken in time, they may be corrected much more easily than were they allowed to run to the extent that the organs thus involved were so disturbed as to cause greater distress. These conditions, as we find, have to do with specific organs in their functioning, and the effects as are created or brought about in the system from same.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [18], we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this very good, so far as its circulation, generally speaking - the pressure and pulsation, but - as for the constituents in same, there is the sign of a lacking in some of the elements making up the hemoglobin of same, that is, in the division of the hemoglobin, as plasm building, as cellular units for various conditions in resuscitating life through the organs and through the system in general - some are lacking, and we shall find the cause. This not at present a disturbance that should worry even anyone, but should be taken cognizance of in time.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, these we find at present very good in most respects. The reflexes, the sympathetic organism, and the general conditions of same are very good. There are evidences in certain plexuses of the disturbance as causes those conditions in the organs as disturbed.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, the brain forces and brain reaction are exceptional. While at times others might say the body slow to grasp a full idea, but for discernment and for analyses, few will surpass the activities or the abilities of this body, [18] we are speaking of.
6. In the functioning of the organs as relative to the sensory system, these are very good. The body very good in the care as has been manifested, as IS manifested regarding the usages of the sensory organism. Rarely abusing the abilities or the functioning abilities of the senses, yet DISCERNMENT is excellent.
7. The throat, the bronchia, the lungs - these are very good.
8. In heart's action, as indicated by the blood stream, this near normal. At times, however, the body finds it tires more easily than formerly. Not altogether from advancing years, nor altogether from disturbance that would be a hindrance; yet from the signs of specific conditions, these occur.
9. In the digestive system, again we find the ability of the body to take warnings and to so diet and so act as to care for the bettered condition and betterment of the conditions of the body as relative to this functioning system, yet from this source, in part, arises the disturbance - for the condition as has existed in a minor way and manner in the lower portion of the 5th and 6th dorsal plexus has caused the liver - in the functioning through the order of plasm building - to cause regurgitation at times, and a feeling of a fullness just before completion of digestion from stomach and the lower end, or through the duodenum. This the greater warning the body should take concerning, and from this source arises that fullness at times felt, the headaches that at times pain, even through the eyes - again the top and temple hurt or ache, or is at dis-ease most. These, then, the effects of the existent tendencies to prevent the nominal or normal reaction through the digestive system, as it ENTERS the intestines for the completion OF digestion, and for proper assimilation is system. The organs of the lower digestion do not suffer as MUCH from this existent condition as would ordinarily be expected from such existent forces, for with the character - or the mindfulness and care the body has so long exercised for itself - the strengthening of the hepatic circulation, the purity of the life's efforts in most all manners, has kept the body better balanced - but these should be taken care of, and we would find the results such as to give more vitality, less of this tendency to tire, less of the tendency of the acidity, and ridding this body of the headaches.
10. Now, to meet the needs of these conditions, we would - through the proper CHARACTER of adjustments, osteopathically, relieve that tension in the dorsal region. ALSO we would add that vitality as will come to the body by the application - not of long duration, either as to individual treatments' length, nor of long duration of treatment - but those of the ultra-violet ray, applied directly to the spine, over the area from the 1st and 2nd dorsal to the end of the lumbar regions. This we would not give more than once each week, nor the manipulations more than twice each week, and ten to twelve such treatments should bring the normalcy for the body, [18]. Ready for questions. We are through with this reading.
