IN THE NERVE FORCES, OR NERVOUS SYSTEMS, we find there
are conditions that have long been aggravating in the
cerebrospinal system. This, as we find, is produced by the
pressures as are apparent in the 8th and 9th dorsal region,
in the 3rd and 4th lumbar region. These, as we find, have
been long existent, and the impulses as have been produced by
these pressures have brought about conditions in the physical
functioning organs that become ACUTE now, and the greater
distress being in the SYMPATHETIC system produces a plethora,
especially in the caecum region. Also a reflex condition in
the area of the glands that assist in the assimilation, or an
INFLAMMATION in the lacteal region; not the glands or ducts
themselves, though they DO become involved, especially when
there is felt that burning sensation in the lower portion of
the stomach, in the over-acidity as is seen in the system.
These, as we find, not causes - causes of the nature that
bring or PRODUCE distresses in the present - but are in
fact the RESULT of pressures as have long existed in the
cerebrospinal system, and become acute on account of other
conditions that have arisen in the digestive system, in the
condition in the pelvic region, and especially inflammation
in the region of the Fallopian Tube. These are in SYMPATHY,
then, one with another. Not wholly is the condition existent
that of a prolapsus, but rather as would be seen by X-Ray
(and this would be a good test for it) of the caecum region,
to be engorged, especially, this producing a pressure to
the liver area, and causes the burning sensation. Not
ulcerations, not lacerations, not even those of an area that
is inflamed, other than reflex, through the activity of those
forces in the system as of the emunctories in their activity
in carrying the gastric forces of the digestive system.
In [As?] to the effects as are produced in other portions of
the body, namely those of the plethora as exists in those
portions that affect the soft tissue in the system as related
to the pulmonaries and their attributes, or tributaries, to
the throat, to the nasal forces, to the antrum and soft
tissue. These at TIMES are in a state of a dry condition,
near to dry eczema. This produced by that of the taking away
of the fluids, as it were, when the blood supply [is] low in
creating that of the leucocyte for those distresses in lower
portions of system. At other times these become INFLAMED and
cause distress and disorder.
Now, as we find, these conditions may be removed best
WITHOUT operative forces, UNLESS there is a CONTINUED EXCESS
OF secretions that PRODUCE the pains in the lower right
portion of the body. In THAT case operative forces WOULD
be necessary, but under the existent conditions we would use
rather that that would cause drainages to be at an excess
in the system, and to ELIMINATE same through the channels of
the system, PRODUCING coordination in ALL of the eliminating
portions of body, as of the alimentary canal, as of the
kidney, as of the respiratory system, of the whole system
coordinating together, would bring a much more PERMANENT
and a much BETTERED condition for the whole body, [
4726].
In reaching these measures, we would then first take
internally those properties of the animated ash, taking
each day - for at least ten days - one-quarter grain.
Half an hour after this is taken, apply over the solar PLEXUS
area that of the ultra-violet ray, at least thirty-eight
inches from the body, and for not a longer period than
three minutes.
We would also begin with those of corrective measures in
a GENTLE manner throughout the cerebrospinal system, as to
REST the body.
When the [there?] is pain, or those distresses as come to the
system are so severe, apply that of the mullein stupes over
those portions where the pain is severe. This should be
applied from the green mullein, bruised and immersed in
boiling water, and applied as hot - direct to the body - as
may be sustained.
When there are those distresses in the lower LUMBAR region,
then apply over the KIDNEY area - see, the KIDNEY area - that
of the the saturated solution of EPSOM Salts. These need not
be HOT, but at least tepid, so that the effect of same is
attained in the active forces about the kidneys themselves.
In the manner of the diet, be mindful that there is NOT taken
that that is too hard of digestion. This rather as an
outline, but may be altered or changed to meet the needs:
Mornings - only those of a citrus fruit diet, preferably
taking hot water with a pinch of salt in same fifteen minutes
before the fruit juices are taken. Do not have all orange
juice, or all of grapefruit, or all of lemons, but ALTERNATE
or combine same. This may be taken with ice in same, or
cooled by ice about same.
Noon - take a diet that is easily assimilated, as of two or
three green vegetables with dressing.
BETWEEN these meals take an olive oil sandwich.
In the afternoon take olive oil in small quantities, half
teaspoonful at a time, but every two hours during the
afternoon.
At least once each week ELIMINATE or EVACUATE the whole of
the colon, not producing too great a pressure but with tepid
water, and in the end with oil douche, that we may prevent
INFLAMMATION from arising, by the coordination with the
manipulation and the properties as taken.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Who should administer the manipulations to the body?
(A) In this surrounding, we would find Berger, or Daley, or
Green, or Reilly, or THOSE of that school.
(Q) Is an olive oil sandwich bread dipped in olive oil?
(A) Whole wheat or brown bread, not soaked - but spread
well.
(Q) What would be taken for the evening meal?
(A) Cup of milk, cocoa or such - not too heavy. Do not
allow the body to become, of course, too dry - or too intent
on eating too much, but let's cleanse the system first - see?
The water that would be taken during this period would be
well to have in it those properties of elm, at least once -
and the saffron the next; that to prevent fermentation - see?
Don't take too much soda, nor too much of those that act as
too astringent for the system.
(Q) Would sweats or Turkish baths be good for this body?
(A) We didn't give it, did we? These may be better later
on - would be too strenuous at present. Let's cleanse the
system inside - she keeps the body pretty clean outside!
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.

7/15/31 Letter from [
4726]: "...Your letter received and I
regret that I have to wait so long, as I am really quite ill.
I fear that I should have gone to the hospital some time ago,
and was booked for last week.
"However, shall remain here in my apartment until after
Tuesday, July 21st. Should I be operated upon? And if you
find anything vitally important to me, please wire it
collect, and write the rest.
"Anxiously awaiting your reply..."
