TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions in this body are many. The effect as conditions have produced in the body is as much of the abnormality as any other force. Hence we have a general depletion throughout the whole system. Hence the variance of conditions, the wherefore, if you please, of why the body suffers or is indisposed from one condition at one time and another at another time, seemingly from an entirely different condition, see? One portion will be distraught and then again the whole condition seems to be affecting other portions of the body than that from which it was first thought to be causing the trouble. Hence we have the mental attitude toward the condition, not good.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find in the body of [4896] at the present time: In the blood supply there is that anemiatized, not anemic, but anemiatized condition in the system, causing much distress. This first, and the real seat of the trouble, was caused from a specific condition; that enacted in the body in times back nearly fifteen years ago. Something was taken into the system that so enacted upon the body as to destroy the effectiveness of the blood in its new formation in the body. It affected directly the duct in the portion where it enters through the shoulder, or through the portion of the body where it enters into the lung to give the new blood. Hence this trouble with the right side, as times higher up. Not a condition of the lung proper, but of that ligament or tissue that directs or carries this throughout itself. This, then, impoverished the body from rebuilding centers. Hence the general depletion in any organ, either from its overtaxation by the functioning or by the body exercising. For it is given, it was given, to be a body very productive on the physical plane, so as to give that strain that caused this condition afterwards in the organs' functioning.
3. So, not organic conditions, except of a secondary nature, have existed or do exist in the body. If one improved, the others, as we have given, lungs, skin, blood supply, the liver, kidneys, locomotories, all of these in their turn have suffered from conditions seeming to be of that nature that the organ or tissue or center was involved within itself, when it is the general condition, and made specific either by strain of physical forces through activity or by the non activity of other organs, leaving the strain through mental forces, for both have enacted upon it. This, as we see, then becomes the general or the constitutional condition as we would term in some instances.
4. All portions of the body suffer more or less, at times the nervous system, at times the other portions, as has been given, so the nervousness or the incoordination of the nerves, so that the palsied conditions as would be said from some portions of the body are expressed in past activity, see? This may be assisted in this body.
5. To give the relief to the system and make of those forces the correct incentives so the body will be bettered in this physical plane, we would apply those vibrations [of the Wet Cell Appliance] as would be found in this:
6. To one gallon of rain water add common, heavy salt, one pound; Copper Sulfate, one pound; Sulfuric Acid, CP, one ounce; common zinc, six drams.
7. This would best be kept in a glass or crock of larger size than the quantity, for it will climb over the sides. In this would be placed two pieces of steel, with small copper wires insulated, attached to one end; these held apart (the steel) by non-conductors. The ends of wires would be attached to small plates. One would be attached to the wrist, the other to the ankle on opposite side of the body, whenever the body feels that it needs the rest and activity of the mental and soul forces to assist in overcoming the pains or the troublesome conditions in the body, see? They may be attached for an hour at a time, then the body must be in relaxation for at least two hours from this, that stabilization of circulation may be assisted.
8. The massage of the Neuropathic nature [Neuropathic Physician] would be well for the body. This will overcome the conditions in this portion, those of the nerve system, and assist the body to the betterment.
9. No medicinal properties in the system nor pain alleviating forces.
10. Follow this out.
11. We are through with this reading.
