In the NERVE system, here we find the seat and the cause, as
we find, of the specific disturbances in the system; so that
the results or effects that are seen in head noises at times,
in throat disturbances, in the activities of the lower
portion of the hepatic circulation, are produced by the
reflex action from pressures in the cerebro-spinal nerve
system, which affect the body in the disorders that are seen.
These, as we find, exist in the 4th and 5th dorsal area, and
through the pressure there affect the circulation in its
relationships to the sympathetic centers or plexus, and the
pressure is only in part - and at times we find, especially
with cold or congestion, or if the body is over tired from
physical exercise or from mental strain, or from disturbance
through the sleeping hours, there is a heaviness felt between
the shoulders, dull headaches and pains along the back of the
head, or stiffness felt there, with the results that follow
of a fullness in the throat and the disturbances to the
antrum and nasal passages, then the heavy pains with
resultant conditions that come from same in the disturbance
to digestive or assimilating system. The pressure, then,
specifically exists in the 4th and 5th dorsal area, and
sympathetically in the 3rd, 4th and 2nd cervical area, to
the head and to the neck, as well as that one which exists
in the 1st sacral area, that makes for a disturbance to the
organs of the lower portion of the hepatic circulation,
which becomes more effective or active in the disturbance
when there has been some disturbance in the digestive area;
or the kidney area then becomes disturbed, and we have - as
is seen - an abnormal specific gravity, showing some signs
of a sedimentary condition in the activities of the kidneys
themselves, though no organic condition is existent save
in the functional. If the condition is not removed, and
irritations still exist, and there are periods when an over
balancing of certain elements in the system that would affect
the kidneys, this must become then not only functional
but organic. These, as we find, may be distributed and
eliminated, provided they are taken in time and the pressures
that are the cause or the impulses for same are removed from
the system.
In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves:
Brain forces are very good.
All of the organs of the sensory system - that is, the organs
as find their effect in response to their purposes and aids
in the head - are disturbed by the pressures, that act more
as that of a catarrhal condition existent - but are really
impairments of circulation and impulses from the pressures
that exist in the dorsal and cervical area.
In the throat these show the effect that is created in the
muco-membranes and soft tissue, soft palate, and also the
antrum and soft tissue are disturbed.
The bronchi and larynx at times show the effect. Especially
does it become affected by the fumes of gases, or of those
things that excite the membranes of the throat and larynx.
These have not as yet disturbed the functionings of the
system as related to the respiratory system, but without
their removal - or without their pressures being removed -
must eventually affect the membranes of the lungs themselves;
for these at times feel heavy and disturbed more by the
restlessness that is experienced by the body at times,
when there has been special pressure to the head and neck.
Heart's action near normal, considering the condition or
variation in the blood supply and pulsation.
Digestive system rather that of a nervous indigestion, for
the muco-membranes being over-active in the activities to the
head leave those effects in the digestion as of periods when
indigestion occurs, or certain foods affect the body easily;
again we find the same foods seem to agree and give a better
reaction actually at times to the system.
In the lower portion of the hepatic circulation, where those
pressures exist in the 1st sacral area, this comes from a
pressure that has existed in the coccyx and the lower area
for some time, and gives a reflex to the functioning of the
lower hepatic circulation - but with the removal of the
pressure in other portions this disturbance in the digestion,
as well as in throat and head, will be relieved, and the
conditions will become near normal for the body.
In meeting, then, the needs of these, as we find, not only
must there be consideration given as to the correcting of
those pressures that make for the disturbance in the impulses
of the nerve system as related to the cerebro-spinal and
sympathetic in their junctions in these specific centers, but
the disturbance that already exists in the muco-membranes or
the soft tissues of portions of the system must be taken into
consideration and that which will be effective locally in
these must also be applied.
First we would have osteopathic adjustments, such as will
relieve those pressures in the upper dorsal, cervical, and
the lower lumbar and sacral area. These would not begin,
however, until the condition of local nature in the throat
and head has at least been in part set in such an order as
to cause absorption and eliminations to be brought about,
by the effect of releasing pressures in the cerebrospinal
system so that these conditions may be absorbed and
eliminated from the system.
These we would do by the use of small amounts of sulphur
blown or sprayed into the throat. These will affect the
head, the pressures in the head, the pressures as to the
soft tissues. These we would do, about that which would
fill the lower end of a quill would be blown into throat.
This would be done every other day for at least ten
treatments, see?
Then we would use a mild emit or laxative, such as may
be found in a preparation of this: One dose should be
sufficient. After this is taken, two days later we would
begin with the corrections osteopathically:
Senna.................................1/2 grain,
Cascara Sagrada.......................1/4 grain,
Leptandrin............................1/2 grain,
Sanguinaria...........................1/2 grain.
This may be prepared, or preferably prepared, in a capsule.
The corrections would take six to eight treatments. These
should be given every other day.
After the corrections have been made, we would find that the
general exercises and considering of the diet that will build
for the better eliminations and proper balancing of the
system, will bring about a normal condition for this body,
[

Ready for questions.
(Q) When will I be perfectly well?
(A) When you do that which will get you well!
(Q) I am easily irritated. Is it because I am not
physically well, or a lack of self-control?
(A) One with the pressures existent, especially on the
sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system, is tending to be
easily irritated. Loss of patience with self more than with
others is usually found as the condition. With the removal
of these pressures that exist, with the normal functioning of
the membranes of the throat, head, the pressures removed in
the sympathetic system, the body should be more buoyant,
more hopeful, and a great deal more optimistic; for it's
pessimistic in itself oftentimes now.
(Q) Please outline a diet that would help the body to become
strong and healthy.
(A) Let's do these things that we have outlined first.
Leave the diet with that which will build for the system as
the conditions call for the activities in system; for, as we
will find, we will require a well balanced diet. Specific
conditions exist in the cerebro-spinal system. The
correcting of these is necessary. Diets will not correct
where pressures exist. They will aid in the elimination, or
the adjusting when the system functions through normalcy.
Do these first.
(Q) What exercise should the body take, that might be
beneficial?
(A) After we have taken these adjustments and the
corrections for the system, the proper exercises - as we
find - would be:
Mornings - that portion of the body above the diaphragm. The
head and neck exercise, the movement of the arms up and down,
the expansion of the chest and of the abdomen.
Evenings - just before retiring - those that will relax the
lower portion of the body, the circular motion of the body
from the hips downward, preferably with the body lying prone
and swinging the body about.
These taken systematically will bring strength, vitality,
and the normal activities for the body. Do these.
(Q) What may be done to cure a soft palate?
(A) We have outlined that for the system, for the soft
palate, for the tissue in the throat, for those pressures
produced in all the circulatory system to the head and neck.
(Q) I am supposed to have a floating kidney. How may it be
replaced permanently in the right place without an operation?
(A) The condition that exists there is NOT that of a
floating kidney. It is as seen, a relieving of the proper
tautness in the lower portion of the system, which affects
that portion of the capsule in which the kidney is, in its
activity, so that this produces that easiness of action that
is existent. With the proper adjustments that may be made
here in the lumbar and sacral area, we will find this
condition will be overcome.
(Q) Whom can the body get to give osteopathic treatments,
who will give them as directed by the information?
(A) Those that are in sympathy with same; as we find
especially in Richardson, or those that are in sympathy
with the body.
(Q) Is there any astrological influences that affect the
body?
(A) Not as related to the physical conditions. That is
what we have been asked for, and that we have given.
(Q) What is a good tooth cream and mouth wash that will
keep the teeth and gums in good condition?
(A) That which is BEST as a mouth wash for the gums may be
found in that of Ipsab. That which is best for the teeth is
a combination of salt and soda, which is better than all the
concoctions that have been sold in tubes or pastes.
(Q) To what colors does the body vibrate?
(A) For GOOD to those of blue. For bad to those of purple
and red.
(Q) Is the body working too much for its good?
(A) Too much for its strength, but not too much for its
good! Let the improvements be in the physical conditions of
the body, and it will enjoy its associations and its labors
much better.
Do as we have outlined.
We are through for the present.
