TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there are conditions that are abnormal in this body that to other bodies are abnormal to this body have become normal, and these may not be corrected in this plane. We have conditions that are abnormal in the system that may be corrected, and these we have to deal with in this physical plane. These have to do with the structural portions in system, and the effect that this has produced in the body. From the pathological conditions as exist in this system, we find one that would be of interest to the pathologist, also to the psychologist, in many ways and respects. These have to do with the impinionment of centers that have caused by the mental attitude of the body towards itself and others those pressures that have in the functioning of organs caused derangements in functioning to an extent that portions of the body have become over burdened and taxed with these incentives as created by this condition. From that of the biological forces as exhibited in the system have arisen the inert [innate?] forces as exercised in a human physical body through the biological condition of tissue as is exhibited in this body, and the combination then of pathological, biological, psychological forces, as shown and exhibited and manifested in this body, [3764] we are speaking of, would be a study for one classifying these in the physical body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them to be corrected, irrespective of those that may not be.
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this has become of the extra-ordinary nature in its action, and from its biological effect as produced in many portions of the body. Those of the nerve system show of the same condition and reflect [reflex?] that is produced in the system through the blood supply in the action of the tissue and of the circulation as exercised through the functioning of centers controlling psychologically the circulation from nerve plexus stand point.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find first in the first cervical center, in the sixth dorsal center, in the twelfth dorsal center, these especially, reflexes to those from which the plexus of nerves in the cerebro-spinal system have their juncture show also this distress, but in these particularly do we find those structural conditions that bring much of the condition in the functioning of organs in the system in their improper abnormal, subnormal for the change about. The heart's action at times is brought above the normal and produces pressure, again the blood seems turned to water, again we find in the functioning of the intestinal tract conditions as exhibited there as if the whole system had turned to that of a lymphatic circulation, then affecting the conditions and bringing about much of the condition that is found in the ductless glands, all glands under such conditions becoming subjugated to the psychological condition as received through the sympathetic nerve system in the body.
5. Then to correct and bring about the better forces for this body, correct those conditions that may be brought to the correct vibration for the correct circulation of normal conditions for the body. We would correct through chiropractic forces those lesions, those impinionments in first cervical, sixth dorsal, twelfth dorsal, also those along other portions of the spinal column that may be brought in linement again, with the system giving the correct incentives for all organisms in the system to function through their normal manner, keeping in the body those properties that give the building forces to the system in a normal condition to meet the needs of the body as development progresses.
6. Do that.

   Dear Mrs. [3764]
   Enclosed, herewith, you will find a copy of the reading as gotten this morning. Please study this over carefully and let us hear from you.

Should there be at any time a further and better understanding needed, we should be very glad to undertake it for you. I am trying to give myself to the help of others, and I have no special propaganda, or anything of the kind, to sell. Neither am I trying to propagate any kind of treatment, other than that which each reading gives for the individual.

   With kindest personal regards, I am
