TEXT

1. GC: You will give a physical, mental and financial, reading on this body, and you will answer the questions regarding same that I will ask you. You will give suggestions for the improvement of any or all of these conditions.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4570].
3. In the physical forces of the body we find there are those physical conditions to be met, and that the mental and the financial has much to do with the action OF the physical condition of the body; yet, would the body bring about the better normal conditions for self, in the physical, mental, and financial way and manner - the body should first take stock of self, and separate these conditions one from another, and in that way and manner as is befitting to each meet that necessary in the whole for each to be taken care of in the right way and manner.
4. First then, to be considered, is the mental, for the MIND is the builder, whether of the physical or material structure.
5. Then, that physical conditions beset the body - let not the worries of the physical overshadow those conditions in the financial. Neither let financial conditions worry the body to the extent that the results of same are seen in the physical reactions in the body.
6. In the physical conditions as are to be met, we find as these - [4570] we are speaking of:
7. We find the circulation and eliminations have become so unbalanced as to produce that condition wherein the full expression of each is as draught in the functioning of the body - that is, the physical body is made up of many atomic cells, and in the action of each we carry out its function in the way and manner as is to bring about the rebuilding in self of those conditions necessary to propagate that portion, or that functioning of the organism of the system. In eliminations we have more than one center - as is seen through the excretory system (the larger functioning of this being through the hepatic circulation of the liver), that of the capillary circulation, or the sweat glands, or pores of epidermis or dermis, or the cuticle and the epidermis, see? These throw off their portions of poisons - in the circulation to that of the pulmonaries throw off THEIR portion, and the kidneys and the regular dross.
8. Now, in conditions as have arisen in the system, we find the mucus producing glands have become affected through infection, especially in the face and nasal portions of the body - these being attacked in such a way and manner as to be operated upon and portions of the structure part removed. We find with the worry of the conditions physical and financial, the body brings about such a condition in the centralized portions of the body that the reaction is to the capillary circulation, and to those portions of the system that become as extremities, by the slowing up of the circulation through such conditions as to bring re-infection to the various mucus glands in such portions of the body, and we find the portion becomes swollen so that inflammation is apparent, or another form do we have of improper elimination, improper assimilations, brought about by physical conditions existent, and by the action of the mind reproducing through cellular forces in the system, misdirected by the construction of mental abilities of the forces to mis-direct in the way and manner as to bring detrimental conditions to the physical forces of the body - physically, mentally, and NECESSARILY in financial ways and manners.
9. Now, to meet the needs of the physical conditions of the body, we would, then, remove or relieve that condition as PRODUCES this - which is that of the impingement as is produced in the 9th, 8th, 7th, and 6th, dorsal centers - by the natural inclinations and over stimulation to the digestive system, so that the lesions as are formed along this portion of the system - through the reaction of the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus centers, in connection direct with the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal system centers, and in the ganglia of the cerebro-spinal - these produce, then, this action. These should be stimulated, osteopathically, but applied WITH - or, after such treatments, it would be well to apply those of equal parts of Tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil, that these centers may be so stimulated as to bring the proper reaction.
10. As for those portions of the system that show swelling at times, apply saturated solution of Epsom Salts heated, see?
11. Reduce the AMOUNT of diet, rather than the QUALITY of diet - but do not take stimulants of any nature that carry alcoholic forces in the system, until the DIGESTIVE system and the kidneys are cleansed sufficient to justify the normal forces of the body - but drink PLENTY of water. Let the body take water - plain water - as the medicines for the body, until the kidneys and the whole mesenteric system is flushed fully, see? The manipulations, of course, will assist this.
12. When these are corrected in the way and manner here given (and it will require at least thirteen such adjustments, osteopathically given, and using those of the Epsom Salts only when it's necessary to relieve the pain), we will find the mental will react more uniformly.
13. As for the financial conditions of the body - these kept separated from the worries of the physical and the mental forces, and abilities of the body applied to these conditions as are necessary to build that in this place (Hendersonville), will bring about and around the body that NECESSARY to meet the needs of the body, and more. Be not overcome by anxiousness, as to expend body OR mind in such. Rather use that anxiousness in service to those that will merit to the body that confidence, that ability of service, that will bring and draw about the body that necessary to make the financial success, IF applied correctly in well doing. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Will the body make a success in the clothing business here?
    (A) Make a success, applied in the way and manner as given.
15. (Q) Will he succeed in paying off indebtedness?
    (A) Will succeed.
16. That is all the questions.
17. We are through for the present.
