TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [91]. Now, we find the physical forces of this body very good in many respects. There are conditions that act as disturbing elements with the physical forces and at times produce very unsatisfactory conditions. These, with the proper care and attention, may be corrected in such a way and manner as to bring about near normal functioning for the body.
2. These conditions, as we find, have to do with the eliminations and as same affects the body from conditions as have been existent in the physical body for some times back. There was, twelve years ago, a condition existent wherein the body received a rather serious shock to the system. This affected especially those centers about the 11th and 12th dorsal, and the 4th lumbar - and from this radial plexus there has come conditions that, with the action of the system wherein there was brought about constipation and its effect on the system - and the activities of the body, so long standing, without sufficient of outside activities has brought about these tendencies, which at times produces heaviness across the small of the back, lateral and circular; also the effect as reflex from this to the prostate glands. These, then, are effects of the eliminations being in an improper manner, as well as the kind of activity, with the conditions existent, as well as that wherein the uric acid in system brings about the disturbance in the blood supply and the general reaction as of irritation in the nervous system.
3. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time:
4. First those conditions as are existent in the cerebrospinal system should be corrected. This should NOT be corrected in the sense of the proper alignment, until there has been sufficient of the gentle and general manipulation to bring a about a more active force in these portions of the system - especially the lower dorsal and the lumbar region, as indicated - as well as the reflexes from these, as are seen in the upper cervical regions. These, with the corrections - and they should not be made without the body having heat - preferably in the dry form - applied to this portion of system, for at least three to five minutes - gentle heat from reflected electric lights, or from those of any REFLECTED heat to that portion - and then the manipulations given - in the two and three weeks of treatments the adjustments may be begun. There should be at least twenty-eight (28) such treatments given. At the same time, after the first adjustments are made - that is, in the two and three weeks - we may begin with those of the Ultra-Violet Rays in treating the system.
5. Be careful of the diet. With the correction, we will find those troubles as come from the action of the system towards the glands - that cause trouble at times - will be removed.
6. As for medicinal properties, we would use those as found in Toris Compound, using the mixer of the simple syrup, and taking at least two teaspoonsful as a dose. At least three to four such quantities should be taken - that is, as this comes in its normal form - one ounce, see? Toris Compound, to be put with those of the properties as a carrier.
7. The diet should be, little of meats - preferably those of vegetables that carry plenty of iron, and NO pod vegetable - though beans - GREEN beans - may be eaten, and the meats should be left from the system. Not too much of grease of any nature, though butter - preferably those of the nut variety - may be used. Little coffee or tea, and NO stimulants that would overtax the digestive system, see? Fruits - oranges, grapefruit - these are good. Cereals only occasionally - these as changes. Milk - this may be taken - preferably, though, should be buttermilk, or the milk that has been so treated, as the Bulgarian - this very good for the body.
8. Do that, and we will find we will bring about near normal forces for the body.
9. An assistance to the body, after the twenty-eight treatments are taken, would be that of the Radium Appliance, worn across the lower portion of body, or across the 12th, 11th, 10th dorsal, see? This should be charged at least every day. We would use the Double X variety. Do that. We are through for the present.
