TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3868]. Now, we find conditions show there are those reactions in system as are produced from disturbances in the glands of the body. These in their functioning, or their DISTURBANCE in functioning, bring those conditions as make for the disorders and the ABNORMALCY that at times appears in the functioning of the system.
2. In the variation, these - then - are conditions as we find them:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, the changes or alterations as come in same, is through those of the lacteals, as make for the character of dissemination through the changes in this portion of functioning.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these make for the disorders as come FROM those conditions as make for impulse in the functioning of the muscular forces, as show for their improper reactions in body. These coming, then, from those centers from which the radial activity of the locomotions, and of those of the centers in the system.
5. IN THAT OF THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS, these show for the radial reactions at times, that produce those forces as make for disorder in functioning from the activity of the SYSTEM'S relationships, rather than of the organic disorders.
6. In MEETING, then, the necessary changes, we will find that those activities that will meet first with those of the glands in the system will make for the basis, or for the conditions as will BRING that of a normalcy TO the body functioning.
7. These, in the beginning, we would apply from the solar plexus center and those of the 2nd cervical center, those of the wet battery that would carry with same those of the iodine in its activity, that has been oxidized in same. These will make for the basis of that as will bring about the nearer normal condition; distributing same through the system in its activity by the massage, as will make for muscular and sinew reaction in locomotion, as WELL as for that of the exterior circulation, where the system - in attempting to create its balance - brings about the disorders there. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) How often should the battery be applied, and for how long a period?
   (A) At least every other day. In the beginning, it should be applied about thirty minutes. OPPOSITE days should be the masseuse, or massage, for the whole of the body.
9. (Q) Will there be any affliction, or permanent injury? or can this condition be cured?
   (A) This can, eventually, almost be ENTIRELY eliminated - but we must begin with the BASIS of the condition; that is, adding to the system that which will enliven the glands of the system to where that the muscular forces, the sinews in locomotion, the activities throughout the whole system as coordination with the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, makes for the proper distribution - see?
10. (Q) Will there be any permanent injury?
    (A) The INJURY itself will, must show - as all carry it within itself; yet as to the use of the body, as to the normal FUNCTIONING of the body, this will be near normal.
11. (Q) How long should this treatment be followed before changed?
    (A) This will depend upon the RESPONSES of the system to those medications through the vibratory forces in body.
12. (Q) What causes the ulcerations in body?
    (A) As is just given, that differentiation in eliminations, or between the capillary and lymphatic circulation, attempting to throw off, where STRANGULATIONS have occurred.
13. (Q) Will the eyesight be affected?
    (A) Not necessarily.
14. (Q) Will any of the senses be affected?
    (A) Some may be accentuated, some may be below normal. This will depend upon the responses to the replenishing from GLANDS of the system.
15. (Q) Is diet necessary?
    (A) This will depend upon RESPONSES. In the PRESENT, not so much as to diet as may be later on in the DEVELOPMENTS for bettered condition.
16. (Q) Is sunshine beneficial?
    (A) If it's SUBDUED sunshine and not too STRONG, beneficial.
17. (Q) Is salt water beneficial?
    (A) Sand that carries gold and radium and salt, is the most beneficial.
18. (Q) Any other advice besides the battery treatment and massage?
    (A) That's the beginning. That's the basis from which WE would CREATE the better forces for the system.
19. (Q) Will her eyes become straightened?
    (A) This will depend upon the responses. These should be a great DEAL better than in the PRESENT, at least.
    Do this as we have outlined, and we will find in the first eighteen days a response that is MOST hopeful.
20. We are through for the present.
