TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [264] - this we have had before. Now we find, while there are some aggravated conditions in the physical forces of the body that make for distresses and disorders, these - as we find - may be corrected in the proper way and manner, as to prevent distress or disruption with the eliminations as are being accomplished for the system.
2. To be sure, would these conditions continue, there must be a breaking down of the resistances in the system, and this would then require more severe activities to bring about a nearer normal activity.
3. The percussions [chiropractically] as were produced over the lower portion of the abdomen, and in the lower lumbar region, tended to make for regurgitation of the nerves to the umbilicus plexus. Hence producing nausea, and inability of the body to digest or assimilate the foods. This naturally, with this tendency of convulsive forces in the diaphragm, produces pains - as in head, eyes - and the strains natural to the lower portions of the body.
4. Would we correct these, as we find in the present, the manipulations - not percussions - should be maintained principally in the upper dorsal and middle cervical area; and take internally equal portions of cinnamon water and lime water - an ounce of each, to this adding Iodide of Potassium 10% solution 10 minims, Bromide of Potassium 10% solution 20 minims. The dose would be a teaspoonful of this in half a glass of water 2 to 3 times each day, oftener when there is the tendency for regurgitation in the digestive system. We would give the manipulations once to twice each day, until there is the full reaction; and until these manipulations have been given for a sufficient time or period to react through the system, we would let the diet be more of those such as junket, arrowroot, soft or coddled egg, milk toast, cereals or fruits that are fresh in their activity, at least - as pineapples or pears (stewed, not raw), peaches, or the like. The cereal drinks would be better than coffee or tea.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is body on improve?
   (A) Without this reaction as has been indicated, where too strong a percussion was produced over the abdomen and the lower dorsal and lumbar - see - without this, we would find the body generally on the improve. With this present condition there's a loss, to be sure, in the resistance and also in the blood supply; but with these changes, this should bring about a change and then a general rebuilding.
7. (Q) When will growth be passed?
   (A) When the conditions have been produced that will allow same to be disengaged, or when there has been builded in the physical and mental consciousness of the body that which WILL eliminate and produce a perfect-NORMAL reacting system!
8. (Q) Has growth turned loose from tube?
   (A) Not as a whole, no.
9. (Q) What procedure should be taken to aid in eliminating or removing growth from body?
   (A) Let's get the conditions in shape where we may keep the rebuilding in system! Then those as are necessary for these eliminations may come along! Not be too severe with the percussions, see?
10. (Q) Should they continue to give the percussions?
    (A) Not so severe; not until these have been corrected.
11. (Q) What treatment should be given after growth has passed or been removed?
    (A) That will depend upon the conditions that would be existent at that time!
12. (Q) What treatment for better digestion?
    (A) Just that as has been given!
13. (Q) Under present conditions, will douches be beneficial?
    (A) Douches will be beneficial at ANY period, provided there is not so much pressure produced that it produces regurgitation in the whole of the hepatic circulation.
14. (Q) What is wrong with spleen, if anything?
    (A) The strain is all that's wrong! And the spleen, we should remember, is that activity in the physical organism between the mental and physical consciousness. When there is fear, or when there are those conditions of disappointments in any nature that affects the imaginative body, we may expect it to affect the spleen. With the resultant conditions of near normalcy in digestion, in activity, in the active forces of the body, this - as we find - will come near to normal reaction.
15. (Q) Why the stomach ache?
    (A) This has been described and explained! Do as we have given, if we would bring the better conditions!
16. (Q) Where, and from whom, can body get information as to how to become a scientific analyst?
    (A) Best through the study of self, as in its application to individuals and their reactions to the various forces in physical, mental and spiritual reactions.
17. (Q) What are the main studies that make known both the physical and metaphysical activities of the organs of the body, as they represent human experiences?
    (A) The best of these metaphysical may be studied from [The Book of] Revelation, as applied to Gray's Anatomy.
18. (Q) In what town or city would it be best to locate to apply this knowledge?
    (A) Let's get in the proper shape to be ABLE to apply it, before we find a place to apply it in! Apply it where you are at present, and then it may be known how to apply it in other places!
19. We are through with this reading.
