TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, [2504] - this we have had before. Changes are for the betterment are apparent in the physical forces of the body. However, there are conditions - as is seen, as is produced from the tendency for hindered circulation - that is, unless altered or changed, will not be for the better physical forces. These, as we find, have to do with that of the SYMPATHETIC, or of the circulation through the lymph TO the brain proper, and the effect as may be created - especially in the locomotary centers, in those of the lower extremities, in that of the brachial center. These are not at all times satisfactory.
2. We would, when there are the tendencies for the reaction, bathe those points - or centers - with an equal portion of tincture iodine and aconite, applying over same an oiled cloth in sweet oil; then applying mechanical or pad heat. This will produce a tendency for an equalization in these particular centers.
3. The rest we would keep near in the normal manner. In at least two to three weeks we should see decided changes, are the conditions kept intact. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is there anything else the body can do to assist in bringing about the desired results?
   (A) That physically as has been outlined is being applied. Will they apply these as given, as may keep the physical, the MENTAL and spiritual may have more influence through the holding OF those forces in same as bring for the psychopathic effect in body.
5. We are through with this reading.
