TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are some abnormal conditions with this body. These may be corrected in part and gradually brought, in time, to where the conditions may be overcome in their entirety.
3. The abnormal forces we find, then, are of long standing. Hence there becomes involved in the condition the general vitality of the whole system. While the functioning organs of the system are very good in many respects, there are those conditions that bring about the distress at times in portions of the system.
4. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find this very good in some respects. In others there is the show of the distress as is produced in the system at times, for with the correction for the condition in the thorax and the bronchials, the plethoric condition produced in the lungs gives the blood the over pressure at times in the circulation, and the condition in heart's action is brought about by this condition. In the elements and constituents of the blood supply, we find red blood sufficient, white blood deficient. Hence, as we will see, the condition in lymphatic circulation.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find there are specific conditions that produce a great deal of the trouble as existent in the body. There are, especially, two centers wherein the greater cause of distress is brought at times, and this will be seen, that the condition arose in the system in times back, after this condition occurred. Then, in the 2nd lumbar and in the 5th and 6th dorsal plexuses do we find those lesions that disturb the nerve and blood distribution to portions of the system that causes the greater distress to the body. The one in the 5th and 6th dorsals affecting directly the condition in the pulmonaries and producing the congestion as takes place in lungs, throat and bronchials at times, in the form of that of the filling up, producing pressure in diaphragm region, hard breathing, with unable to get sufficient air in lungs without the respitory [respiratory] system being full relaxed and flushed. At such times the direction of the secondary cardiac plexus produces the lymph to throw off in excess in many portions of system, when this relaxation is brought about, see? This brings then relief and is the system attempting to adjust itself. That lesion in the lumbar brings the pressure to bear on the secondary and the full cardiac plexus, through the hypogastric and pneumogastric ganglion, to the lumbar region in that lumbar plexus, see? nerve supply. This brings, then, conditions, as we will see, at times to the digestion and the effect same has on the condition in lungs and larynx.
7. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good.
8. Organs of sensory system more or less (varying according to cycle) under the influences of cerebro-spinal nerve strain, as produced by lesions in the plexuses as given.
9. The throat, bronchials and larynx, with the lungs, show the effect of plethora condition in lymph and blood supply, AT TIMES (not right at present) to excess in system.
10. Heart's action below normal, yet high in blood pressure at times.
11. The stomach and digestion under the influence of excess of the circulation produced in the pneumogastric plexus. Hence rather nerve digestion at times, and certain foods disagree suddenly, bringing on the pressure in the lungs, as well as air or cold does. The condition as produced in intestines, then, reflex from congestion and from the system unable, when over crowded, to throw off through normal channels the excess refuses of the body.
12. The liver torpid in action, though full in circulation most of the time.
13. The lower digestion, or intestinal digestion, shows how the effect of properties taken for relaxation produces the tendency for the disturbance in ascending and traverse colon, for this bring troubles to the body under strain.
14. Then, to bring the more normal forces to this body, using as this: First take those manipulations, osteopathically given, that would relieve and rid the body of those lesions in the whole cerebro-spinal system, especially those in the dorsal and lumbar region; requiring then at least fifteen (15) such treatments and adjustments.
15. Taking in the system, when the spasmodic conditions occur, those properties as will be found in Calcidin.
16. Taking each evening those vibrations from the Radio-Active Applicator, see? in the plain form, such as to create an equilibrium throughout the system, see? This, we will find, will prevent many of the conditions that arise through congestion in centers, while adjustments and the system is adjusting itself to the conditions. These should be applied at least one hour each evening, when ready to retire, fastening the Applicator to the ankle first, see?
17. Do that.
18. The doses of Calcidin may be taken three to five grains every twenty to thirty minutes until relief is given, when spasmodic condition shows, see?
19. We are through for the present.
