TEXT

1. EC: These are the conditions that we find in this body, Mrs. [3953]. There are many conditions in the body that are abnormal, although the body is not at all times suffering from pain or discomfort, nor is it at all times abnormal. At present the abnormal conditions existing in the body causes the body to suffer. This abnormal condition is caused by a spasmodic condition that exists in the body at times.
2. This is the condition we find in the blood at this time. The blood in its supply to the brain and as it is carried from the brain to be rejuvenated or reimbibed with life to be carried to the different portions of the body, we find that the blood is carried first to the spleen before it is carried on to the rest of the body and before it enters the veins carrying back to the heart. Hence, we find that some portion of the blood that should be carried through the veins is carried through the arteries and some of the arterial blood is carried through the veins. This condition exists in other bodies as well as in this one. The blood in this condition entering the spleen for the destruction of certain tissues used by the brain and not by any other portion of the body, destroys blood cells used by the brain action in its force over the body. The spleen produces the spasmodic condition, and it in turn affects the nerve supply in the system. This condition affects the solar plexus nerve center which has formed a floating lesion at the 9th dorsal. This in its action over the system affects all of the nerve forces in the body. The digestion is affected by the nerve forces. The action of the pelvic organ is affected by the nerve forces. These are reflex conditions and abnormal conditions in the spleen.
3. To assist this body to become normal, we have two alternatives, either an operation by which the part of the spleen that is diseased be removed, or by absorption of the condition existing in the body through the treatment of the nerve centers by stimulation and the relaxation of the nerve fiber centers. This would be done by electricity, heat and manipulation. The absorption treatment is preferable. The treatment can be given by any good osteopath. The body, if properly treated should be relieved in about six weeks. We do not see any other illness at this time. If the body is treated through absorption it will be as strong, but if operated on it will not.

BACKGROUND

1. GD's note: This reading was apparently taken down by Miss Harriet McSwain (not sure of spelling) who worked at The City National Bank of Selma, in Selma, Alabama. Mrs. [3953] was perhaps in Georgia at the time. The date must have been somewhere between 1917-1922. After 5 P.M. or a week-end?
