TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find that many of minor conditions, as have been seen in the active forces of the disturbances in system, have become accentuated through cold and contraction, WITH retraction, see? This, then, accentuation, should not be considered as PURELY detrimental. Rather take ADVANTAGE OF same, and by the eliminations of those ACCUMULATIONS in the emunctories and lymphatic circulation - which produce the contraction in muscular forces, through which same has become active - and WITH the eliminations, rest, and the setting up of proper relationships with the eliminating systems - as has oft been explained in this, where there was incoordination in the elimination SYSTEMS of this body, so that the vegetative nerve system, the capillary nerve system, the sympathetic nerve system, and the cerebro-spinal nerve system, as related to the various eliminations, coordinate - and we will find the improvement faster and better, when these have been ERADICATED from system by rest and by the other forces as are set up in same. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Is diet correct?
   (A) Diet is very good at present.
3. (Q) What is condition of mouth, and should any treatment be followed?
   (A) That as has been given, that there are specific conditions as have been existent. Also there is the effect of retraction from conditions in the eliminating system, as is relating to that thrown off in this manner; creating for itself those conditions as exist there, as an after effect. WE would use the Ipsab.
4. (Q) Are abrasions ready for treatment? If so, what?
   (A) Only the general in the present. These may come later, when eliminations have been set up, without cutting off same by producing or causing astringent applications that cut off portion of circulation in elimination.
5. (Q) Is treatment being given correctly for pain in back?
   (A) This is very good.
6. (Q) Should all treatments be continued?
   (A) All treatments should be continued when the body is more in accord WITH, through the condition as is accentuated at present - see?
7. That is all the questions regarding this body.
8. We are through with this reading.
