TEXT

1. LBC: You have before you Mr. [4187] who is in this room with you.
2. EC: Yes, we have had him here before.
3. LBC: Go over him carefully, examine him thoroughly and tell us what his condition is now.
4. EC: You see we have his condition here, now, as compared with what we have had before; in some conditions, it has been bettered and we find others aggravated. While as to the condition in itself, it is bettered all through. We find the body, in itself, as we find through the nerve force, and all through the body, aggravated. The supply of nerve, that is the nerve force in itself proper here through the cervicals, and facial muscles and nerves; while we find the supply to the mind force, that is, to the activity; the supply to the brain here, through the spleenic action of the forces on the nervous system, that is aggravated through the same cause. With the betterment of the condition in itself proper, the supply of the nerve force to the vocal box, the trachea here, is improved.
5. We have more of a unison of the flow of the blood which supplies to these nerve forces. Now the tautness into the vocal box here, which produces the sound, wherewith speech is made, in the body of [4187] produces then on the nerve force of the body, this tautness, produced, as it were, you see, but it won't spit out fast enough to the forces.
6. Now, the aggravation to these through the nerve supply, we have here along the spine, along the cervicals, the upper lumbars, here, supplying to these nerves, the larynx here, into the vocal box, the sympathetics, and also the interior muscles to the vocal box - the supplying portions to these operating here from these, with the nerve force and blood supply, being produced, here a nerve force you see in this, from the treatment. We produce then some sort of aggravation through the nerve force with the action between the white and gray matter in the nerve force, or the essence of which they are made, that is - their construction, their body, that is the inside, not the walls. We find the walls of the nerve supply to the vocal box causing their tautness from this condition here, producing then the effect that we have in the vocal box at the time it tries to make speech.
7. The whole general health of the body should be improved along with it, and produce an aggravation that would regard digestion in the system, in the stomach. That is the one condition in the body not bettered from what we have had before.
8. That is, produce into the digestive organ proper, the stomach, more of an assimilation of the foods taken into it. That is, so they assimilate to the different organisms of the system and rebuild the properties in themselves. The aggravation to the nerve force and supply of the body works against the digestive organ of the body, so that we find digestion takes place more in sleep than awake. This produces restlessness at times to the body.
9. The stimulation to the sympathetics, that is through the abnormal mind of the body, will improve the body. We need more of them, - keep it stronger.
10. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe?
    (A) Keep what he has given. That is, this nerve force, in which we have a treatment of a stimulation to the nerve supply in the body to this vocal box here. We are retarding the supply to the nerve proper through the stimulation to the vocal box. As we retard these forces here, as we have it in the body now, it has produced an irritation to those, but if we keep up the stimulation, we will retard this force here, if we produce the same effect through the abnormal or sympathetics, through a state of coma, or sleep.
    Keep in the body, the digestion so that it won't retard, with this sleeplessness and restlessness in itself, until he would get tired of the treatment.
11. (Q) Any other treatment you would prescribe.
    (A) Needs something into the stomach that assimilates his digestion more.
12. (Q) What would that be?
    (A) Perhaps we will have at one time, needing one thing and another time, another. It is according to how the nerve force and the power in the body itself is. It depends on what he eats. If it is something to be digested in three hours, he will need something to chew it up, or if it is something to be digested in twenty to forty minutes, he will need something to let him rest, or sleep.
13. (Q) Is he overworked?
    (A) Agitation, to the muscular force, or the physical body? No, not unless we have too much force with an aggravated force we have to the eyes.
