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. You will answer any questions relative to this body that I may ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find the abnormal conditions, as have to do with the physical conditions in this body, are through the lack of the coordination throughout the physical portions, and there are produced some specific conditions, as is seen in portions of the body, and the lack of the development in same.
3. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4507], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY IN BODY, while we find this in the developing forces, this we find below the normal in the rebuilding or replenishing of the forces in some particulars, produced more by the lack of the coordinating through nerve energy, as will be seen.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these we find in the cerebro-spinal shows how that the inability of the system to bring about the developments shows in the solar plexus ganglion and in the lower lumbar ganglion, and in the secondary cardiac ganglion, or in the 3rd and 4th dorsal ganglia. This, as we see, prevents, then, the distribution of the correct incentives throughout the physical portions, in locomotion as its entirely in action, in the development in the upper portion, through that of the heart's action to its normal condition. In the sympathetic system, these we find control the greater portion of body. Hence the involuntary action as is seen in portions of system at times. The beginning of this, we see, has been in times back, when there were some conditions entering from the outside. These brought about the first contractions to the muscular forces, involving the nerve centers in the system; those to the head and the contraction in the cervicals. Those in the central portion of body, causing the non-eliminating forces through their correct channels.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, these in many particulars function in the normal condition, for existing conditions in the nerve portions in body, that are affected, as we see, in those given.
7. In bringing about, then, the condition for relief to the body, we will find this of a slow nature, but this may be brought about, were those conditions accorded the system that will bring that necessary element in the system to give relief to those portions and produce the proper coordination in the body.
8. First, through the application of deep manipulation, to break up those of the conditions in the ganglions, as given, with the application of those vibrations as would be found in those vibrations as would be created from this:
9. To two (2) gallons of rain water, we would add:

   Plain Charcoal..............1/2 pound,
Copper Sulphate...........1 1/2 pounds,
Sulphuric Acid C.P........1 1/4 ounces,
Common Zinc...................6 drams.

10. This solution, as we find, should be in a glass container. In this we would place an opaque container, carrying one (1) pound of Tincture of Iodine.
11. Then, the solution would be charge with electrical forces as this: Hundred and ten (110) volts, or hundred and twenty (120) volts direct, with the lower amperage. Charge solution for one hour, using one pole of copper, the other of nickel. To these poles, after this has been charged, we would attach small copper wires (insulated). To the end of each wire attach thin plates that may be attached, one to the ankle, the other to the wrist of the body. Changing these, every second day attach to the body above the umbilicus and to the back of neck, for thirty minutes each evening.
12. The deep manipulations should be given at least every other day, until these conditions in the lumbar, solar plexus and upper dorsal are relaxed entirely. Then, when this has been done, thirty to sixty days, we would give those properties from here that would add to the rebuilding system, through medicinal forces.
13. Do not give medicine to the body while this is being taken, save for relaxation through the mesenteric system, to keep eliminations going properly in body. Do that.
14. (Q) What should the plates that are attached to the body be made of?
    (A) One of thin copper, the other of the thin nickel. Negative pole nickel, positive pole copper.
15. (Q) What is the common name of this disease?
    (A) Softening of the bone structural portion, as is pressure produced through the nerve condition, see?
16. (Q) What is the cause of the swelling in the bowels?
    (A) That condition as is produced through the mesenteric system from the improper direction of nerve energy from solar plexus center. This produces the inflammation as is produced through the hypogastric plexus, causing an overflow of blood to these portions, bringing the inflammation. Improper elimination, improper coordination through the nervous system, especially in centers as given, lower lumbar, solar plexus, upper dorsal. This produced in times back by the condition as was caused in system. This bringing the lesions as formed in these plexus centers. The inflammation and swelling, as we see, has changed in different portions of body, as condition has developed and attempted to be eliminated through the contraction and relaxation in various portions of body.
17. (Q) Should these manipulations be given osteopathically or chiropractically?
    (A) Give the manipulations through the osteopathic before we give any of the vibrations, for these contractions and relaxations must be made in muscular tissue, as well as in the adjusting of the vertebra proper. No medicinal properties should be given, save for the mesenteric system; that is, to make eliminations properly in the system. Then the mild salines and enemas to reduce temperature and inflammation in system.
18. (Q) Should the battery be used while the osteopathic treatments are being given?
    (A) After third to fourth, begin with battery forces. We need the assimilation, as will be found from battery forces, to the nerve portions of body. After the third or fourth treatment with the battery, we will produce some nausea to the body from same. This is not a hindrance but a retraction to the system. Do not leave off on this account.
19. (Q) Is this condition a form of what is known as inflammatory rheumatism?
    (A) May be termed inflammatory condition, produced by toxins in system from lack of eliminations. Not rheumatism, as would be commonly known. Rather that of the misdirection of the eliminations and the improper coordination in body, produced by that condition as given in times back, entering into the system, producing inflammation, causing the congestion in the various portions of body that brings about this condition.
20. (Q) What should the diet be for this body?
    (A) No meats, not too much of the starches. Those properties best as will be found in vegetable forces, especially those of that that grows above the ground. Salads, soups, or those of that nature. Peas, beans, lentils. Acids or fruits, those that produce the proper coordination, that we may have elimination and assimilation accorded properly in the body. Do that.
21. We are through for the present.
