TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the relief and cure for this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find the physical conditions of this body are distraught through many forces that are of a nature that are deep seated in the physical well being of the body. They are not good at all.
4. In the whole forces of the body we find there are many conditions that lend to these deficiencies in the proper functioning of the organs. Those conditions that have been and are being administered for the body are well for the present conditions, but these are adding only fuel to the destructive forces when considered from the standpoint of bringing about that that would bring relief for the body.
5. The conditions, as we find, have to do with the heart's action, and the plethora condition as exists with the organ itself, and the dilation as is caused in the valves of same. While these are produced by the over supply of blood, also is this produced by the high pressure caused by too laxness in the central motor nerves of the cerebro-spinal system. Hence rest, and diet, and blood letting, and of the manipulation to equalize circulation, would be that that would bring the better condition for the body. While properties taken are as necessary for the conditions as have arisen of the acute nature, yet the continual use of these will not be well for the body, see?
6. Then, we would add that the diet be not more than that sufficient for the body to hold the strength. While juices of meats may be taken, do not take the meats or fats themselves. Only lean portions be used to make the juices from.
7. Massage and manipulation, PROPERLY given, will equalize the conditions in the body to the extent as to relieve these pressures as are caused on the centers in the central nerve system.
8. More fear may be had from the heaviness to the head than that condition existent in the heart's region. Hence well that those manipulations be given in the way to equalize toward the lower portion of body, or below the waistline. These manipulations, then, would be from those centers radiating from the 6th dorsal down, and these will bring the better conditions and nearer relief from those forces as existent. Do that.
9. (Q) What is meant by the blood letting? Should that be done under the present conditions or wait a while?
   (A) Blood letting may be done by the system being purged with over supply of salines. That's the manner in which blood letting should be done. This relieves pressure from the central system without weakening the vital forces in the extremities. This is better than letting from the body, though this may be done also.
10. We are through for the present.
