TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [719] and the conditions that surround the body.
2. In the physical forces of the body, we find disturbing factors. Much of the condition is physical, and much of it is of mental, arising from physical disorders as well as physical disruptions in the mental affairs and surroundings of the body, worriment, disappointment, extravagance - in some ways and manners, self-condemnation, and also condemning in others - which is the highest form of self-condemnation.
3. In the physical body WE find as these conditions:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows for disorders in digestive system, poor eliminations, toxic forces in the blood supply disturbance produced in the eliminations in capillary circulation, in extremities, and in the general nervous forces of the system. Those abrasions as occur at times in portions of system, partly nervous, partly from the intestinal and stomach disorders.
5. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, we find an overtaxed nervous system through mental forces and through physical forces of the body. There being specific conditions existent in the cerebrospinal nervous system, also. Not so much in the form of subligations as in the form of congestion, tautness where elasticity should exist, elasticity where muscular tautness in the regions about ganglia should exist. These, as we find, principally in the upper dorsal region, also reflexly in lumbar plexus, as in and above brachial plexus, and throughout the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, in the cervical. These are rather of secondary conditions.
6. IN THE PHYSICAL FUNCTIONING and conditions as exist - the eyes, ears, sensory system as a whole, suffer under this nervous condition existent, as is seen from toxic forces in body, as well as from irritations from poor elimination. Not to the excess that there are in the centers themselves, as yet, those of infectious forces; only partially so. This produced in greater part by lack of proper elimination, or - as may be said - from the inability of the plasm in the blood supply to create the cleansing forces as would take things from these and produce proper drainages in the system.
7. Throat, bronchials and larynx - also show for toxic forces, some arising from conditions in the mouth and others from throat. These are rather secondary, than those of primary causes. There has existed for some time a form of catarrh, from those conditions in the lymph and the soft portions in throat, in nasal cavity, the antrum, portions of face. These show also as congestions in spots in the stomach, which cause or produce those tendencies for slow digestion, indigestion, belching of foods, over-acidity, and a tendency for BLOATING at times. Especially are these apparent in the duodenum, as well as some irritation in the end of the aesophagus or the upper portion of cardiac portion of stomach proper. This tends to make for a sagging. While the stomach proper is not wholly out of place, as it might be termed, but a sagging - which makes for a forming of toxins and too much hydrochloric in the digestive portions themselves.
8. In the liver, hepatic circulation - these, through stimuli, show for a torpidity, as well as a general relaxation through the taking of properties to produce an excess of the secretions for eliminations in alimentary canal, making a sedentary effect through the lobes of the liver, as well as a disorder in the kidneys of a nature that makes the activity of the kidneys as related to the eliminations as irregular, sometimes too free in the discharge and at others not sufficient. The lumbar regions show for those pressures as make for a heaviness in feet at times.
9. In meeting the needs of the conditions for the physical, as we would find, there would be first a cleansing of the colon with a colonic irrigation, followed with sufficient antiseptic solutions as to prevent further toxins in the system. Then a thorough cleansing of the alimentary canal, rather by those of an alkalin nature - as may be found in Milk of Magnesia, Petrolagar, Milk of Bismuth, a combination - as it were - of these; taking at times small quantities of properties of an alkalin reaction, as an intestinal antiseptic, in the form of Glyco-Thymoline or such basic forces, which are - as we find - an alkalin antiseptic, rather than acid basis.
10. Manipulations following good SWEATS in cabinet baths, or the Swedish massage and a good work-out following same.
11. Be mindful of the diet for a sufficient period to get the system CLEANSED, and we will find the reactions mentally AND physically will be entirely different.
12. These as the diet, as we would find - bewaring of stimuli, especially of an alcoholic nature or content, but these as an example: No condiments, either, should be taken; no highly seasoned foods - of spices or peppers of any nature. No pickles nor kraut, or such.
13. Mornings - citrus fruit diet wholly. These should be altered from time to time, following same with a little dry toast and coffee or milk - or a CEREAL drink.
14. Noon or lunch period - soups, broths, or such.
15. Evenings - vegetables that grow above the ground, as lentils, peas, beans, and such. Little or no meat, though the juices or broths or soups from same may be taken in moderation, and we will find the physical forces on the improve.
16. In the mental and the associations, the mental outlook on life, the attitude of life that the world and the conditions and surroundings are at an advariance to self is ALL WRONG! Rather do something for the WORLD, than having the world do something for you! Act in a way and manner as that a SERVICE to OTHERS will be the highest service as may be rendered for self. That held in the mental forces of the body as a grudge can only create POISONS, can only create distrust, disruption, disorder, discouragement through the whole activities of self.
17. The relationships as respecting real estate, real estate holdings, properties and such, will make an outlet for the activities of the body that should be BOTH remunerative and give an activity outside sufficient that the whole forces of the body would be bettered, mentally, physically, morally, financially. Keep the body and the mind clean, and the reflections in the life and in the living will be in keeping with that as is meted for self. Ready for questions.
18. In the manipulations as to be given for the physical forces of the body, these we would take at least twice each week, that - with the properties taken, with the cleansing of the system - the reactions will be such as to stimulate the drainages of system, giving strength, vitality, virility, to the whole MUSCULAR system. Hence OSTEOPATHICALLY should these be applied.
19. (Q) Any further suggestions that would be of mental or physical benefit for this entity?
    (A) These will be a whole wad full, if he will do these! We are through for the present.
